In HanmerSprings it was a hot burning sunny day. My Nana drove my family to a side of a scary looking clift but if but if you look up you can see lots of mountains it was so cool I could see snow on the mountains. We got in the clean shine car and drove to HanmerSprings my Pop brought a house for as to stay for 1 week when we got there it was my Mums and Uncles birthday party my fun looking Uncle was turning 27 and my Mum was turning 27 too. My fun looking uncle said we can go to the pools and when we got to the pools it was amazing because there was a big boiling ring. In the big boiling ring there was lots of sparking water. On my fourth day in HanmerSprings i went in a terrifying scary looking maze it has words to find in it.It had a waterfall in it and at the end of the maze my stepdad gave me his chocolate coin because he could not eat chocolate so I ate it up. It was the best day in HanmerSprings.

In the afternoon most classes have topic. Topic is a subject when you learn about things you wouldn't learn in maths, reading or writing. Sometimes classes do P.E or art. P.E stands for physical education. Sometimes teachers send kids for runs or take us for a game such as T-ball or long ball. At 2:45pm school is released and everyone gets to go home. On a Friday there is touch and it can be played by boys and girls. Some people do other activities such as swimming, netball and rugby practice. Or some people just go home and do homework.

The people in the village were scared and staving because they didn't won't to go out side because of all the dinosaurs.The family's were hungry so the chief Bob had to kill them nut every day heaps keep on coming back so Bob rang his mates and said can yous help our village they said yes.Bobs mates come and started killing them but one day they stoped coming bacause there were no more to kill so all the family's got food and fresh air.

How light affects plant growth

In room1 this term we have been focusing on how plants grow or how light affects plant growth.

All plants need water, food, light and warmth to grow if a plant doesn't have all these things it will die. 


A plant needs chlorophll so that it can grow big and have a nice green colour and can be a very tall plant.the plant will need. Lot's of energy to be a very big bean tree.


If a plant doesn't have light it won't grow and wont get any food or water from the root all the way to plant and won't be able to get any energy so then it will die straight away.If the plant has no light it wont be able to change to any colours.


Plants can't grow in the dark because if a plant has no light or energy it will not grow and it will die.


If a plant has no light or energy it won't change colours. The most common colours for a plant to change to is dark green and light green.


Plants grow all around the world in many different climates but none can grow without light.

Aaron's Explanation

                   How Light Affects Plant Growth?

A plant needs water, nutrients, light and warmth to grow. If the plant doesn't have these things it will die.
If a plant has light and a little bit of warmth it will grow like a normal plant would. When the plant is green it means the sun has been shining on it causing it to make chlorophyll. All plants have water and light will stay healthy and grow bigger and bigger.
Plants that don't have any light will go pale and the leaves will start to go brown and die. The roots won't be able to suck up any nutrients or water to the plant. With no light the plant will droop because it has no energy to stay up straight. The root will flop over and the plant won't have any support holding it up.
Some plants can grow in the dark. To test to see if plants can grow in the dark. The plants will need the same amount of water so then it is a fair test. After a while the plant will go pale because it hasn't had any light to photosynthesis. Plants can survive for a little bit because the production that harmones is stimulated by the dark which makes suppressed light.
Finally the rest of the plant will start to fade out because of no sunlight, chlorophyll or nutrients. The colour will be an orangey brownish. All the other parts will have no strength and start to rot.
Plants grow every where and many different places. They grow in all conditions like hot weather or cold. No plants can grow without light.

How plants grow

Plants are living things, there are more then 100 types  and they are known all over the world.

Seeds may look dead when people plant them, but they aren't. There just getting ready to germination. germination means "begins to grow." Plants suck up water, the water is taken in, then the seed starts to swell bigger and bigger until the seed coat cracks, air then can get to the seed. Flowers also burn food, burning food produces energy for the flower. The seed also has a seed coat. 

Plants grow by water. Water Carry's nutrients which is used to make there food. Flowers make there own food using nutrients and carbon dioxide. Roots suck water up through the stem into the leaves, shoots or flowers. If a flower gets to much water it sucks it up and turns it into vapour. Two things that plants needs to grow is photosynthesis and respiration. They also make food for the plant.

People can plant seeds indoors and outdoors. Some vege don't like to be transplanted. Transplanted means "to move it to one place to another."

People like to plant plants, vege or fruit because it saves money, it's fun to do and it's fun to see what they'll form into.

Plants, vege and fruit are important to the world because they provide oxygen and food for animals and people.
