Summary on War In Waihi
By Mark Derby

There was once a hill but 12 thousand men came and dug it for gold. So what turns a hill into a hole? The answer is GOLD, the rock has been dug from the Martha Mine for it fleacks for more than a hundred years.

Trouble has been viral in town for years.Waihi miners were paid less than other countries.   They were even  forced to work fast and it was  sometimes dangerous. Some miners got a deadly lung disease known as Miner Cough.

Then 7 years came by and hundreds of families had to survive without weekly pay packet. They had veggies, chicken, and divided money. Some people went fishing and divided up the catch with the neighbors. There were men and they were police and they were taking photos of themselves.

There was a man called Bill Parry and he was the president of Wahi Miners Union. There were three policemen and they were taking photos of them being soldiers. There was a group of people walking in a group.

Just In Time For The NRL Game

It was a nice sunny day with a big yellow sun, and we were getting excited because we were going to the NRL game held at Mt Smart Stadium. We went to the NRL game because it was my brothers birthday and he wanted to watch and support the Warriors.

It was Melbourne Storms vs The Vodafone Warriors, it starts at 12.00 but we wanted to leave around 11.00-11.30 so we could find a parking fast. The league player that I’m looking forward too from the Storms is Marika Koroibete and from the Warriors is Shaun Johnson. But my brother said “Tuivasa Sheck is way better than both of them” then I said “Why can’t you stop being Jealous” and then he said “If Tuivasa Sheck scores a try you own me $5” then I said “challenge Accepted”.

So we went to Countdown to get some food such as Chips,Drinks and Lollies. Then we went to the bakery to get some hot chips and a pie because we haven’t had breakfast. After a while my brother was running around and all of a sudden my brother tripped over his shoe lace and we needed to go to the doctors. By the time we arrived at the doctors it was 11.00. When my brother came back it was 11.20 so we all rushed into the van and headed off to Mt Smart Stadium.

Later on, we made it to Mt Smart Stadium the time was 11.58 so we all quickly got our tickets out and went to the entry. Then we had to look for our seats because we only had 1 minute.

Then Finally, By the time we sat down Shaun Johnson was about to kick the ball to start the game. When we arrived we all said “JUST IN TIME”. We saw a lot of Warriors supporters because it was held in New Zealand.

Accidental Plastics
By: Kate Potter

From your toothbrush to your television, Plastic products are used nearly everywhere.  “Plastic” means it’s easy to bend or mould into different shapes. It’s difficult to imagine life without these non-natural materials compounds.

In 1863, a company selling billiard balls offered $10,000 to  any person who could come up with the best material to use and make Billiard balls. At that time the billiard balls were made from elephant tusk ivory.

There is a layer of plastic between 2 layers of glass means that, even if the windscreen cracks, all of the pieces of the glass will stay together.All of these world - changing plastics were discovered by accident.

When scientist do an experiment and when it goes wrong the scientist doesn't say that it went wrong, instead scientists are always on the lookout for new connections.

Trip to Arataki


On the 11th of May, Glenbrae School Seniors went to Arataki Forest. It was exiting because it was going to be our first time going to the Arataki Forest. It was a 1 hour ride and people we feeling tired when we arrived. When we arrived we went in the Forest and it was interesting because we stopped in different trees. When we entered we needed to spray our shoes because there are diseases that can kill the plants and the trees. While we were walking we stopped by the beautiful view of the forest. We saw a lot of the Nikau Palm and I saw a Northern Rata. Then, we went down the stairs and saw an Enormous Kauri Tree. Then we went inside the visitor room and watched a video about Arataki Forest and the volume was a bit too loud for my ears but at the same time I still enjoyed watching the video.

Then Finally, we packed all our bags and headed back to School and it fun and exciting. The reason I enjoyed the trip was because I learnt a lot about the Native Bush and also the long ride.
