Fault Lines

A Fault line is a line that is on the ground surface or a line that is tracing a Fault.So that means the fault line is tracing through the world so there is two plates that meet up with each other and causes the world to create a earthquake.There are two plates like example Australian Plate is on the first side and indian plate is on the other side of the fault line. There are seven plates on each sides and if they meet each other there would be fault lines around the whole world.

A Visit From Jack and Graham


Today Jack and Graham came to visit us and told us two frogs their names were Archey Frogs and Hochstetter Frog then I askd Graham some questions.

How do we create a Gecko house?  Answer: need some wood which is by 25 mm and has to be non treated wood. need a piece of glass for the front so we can see the geckos. You need some netting and needs to be very small for the geckos to go in. then you needs some screws and nails.Something suitable for old roofing iron or a flat piece of wood.need some sticks and branches to go inside for the geckos to hide under.


How big do we need the Shelter,Trap,Hotel to be? Answer: We can attract with any materials
What Tools do we need? Answer:Hammer,Battery drill and drill bits. Hand Saw, Tape Measure. Staple Gun,

What kind of food do we need to feed the Geckos, Insects,Fruit Flies,Rotten Apple Jar So the fruit flies lay the eggs and keep hatching out.Catch Blow Flies and Houseflies. Honey Water.
What native trees do we need?

I Drive

This Term 3 I have done I Drive Street and I picked Carpentry which was like building something for the school,We got to go into a group and work as a team.My group was called #Team Budgie Care, so first we started making a stand and started hammering the pieces to the stand and next we painted the budgie stand Metallic gold.The next step was making accessories. The accessories was to make a small platform to put into the budgie cage for the budgies to stand on but unfortunately it didn't work which was a bummer.So instead we just left the budgie cage with the stand.
