Blog check
Today we reviewed our blogs. we looked at what we have been blogging about, what we have been creating and how many posts we have done. I have found out that I have a lot of literacy posts and not many maths posts. My goal for the rest of the term is to post more of my maths stuff. Also I would like to have 25 posts by the end of the term.

Hot water!
WALT: Explain a scientific phenomenon
Maori were first to discover Hanmer when they were walking the Pounamu
trail taking green stone to the East Coast from the West Coast, William Jones,
a farmer discovered the pools when he was walking and noticed a strange fog
coming from near the track.
The water in the thermal pools starts as snow and rain falling on the Hanmer
Springs mountains almost 180 years ago. When it hit the ground it
seeped down through fractured rock in the Hanmer Mountains to a depth
of about two kilometres below the Hanmer plains. It makes a reservoir and the
water gets heated by the earth's core.
This can all happen because New Zealand is right in the middle of the ring of
fire. That's why there's so much earthquakes and volcanoes, the ring of fire is
where the earth stitches together. The tectonic plates rub together creating friction
and heat which makes the water hot.
DId you know that the water in Hanmer is 180 years old!

So this is my understanding of how the geothermal water is hot.
Hanmer 1880
WALT: Identify and explain important moments in history using written and visual language features.
Our task was to choose a date that was important in the development of Hanmer and research about it. Here is what the hot pools were like in 1880!
