Anzac Cove

The Australian and New Zealand army corps landed at a small bay which is called Anzac Cove north of Kabatepe on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25 April 1915. Their objective was to seize part of Sari Bair range to cover their advance across the peninsula, cut the Turkish supplies there and threaten Turkish fighting forces further south at Cape Hells.

The Anzacs were never meant to land at the cove with its steep interland of rough gullies. They should have landed on a much longer beach and a wider front, but it seems that a navigational blunder put the troops ashore at the wrong place.

The Australian troops went ashore first and the new Zealanders followed them from late morning pushing inward to reach Australian troops on the second ridge (and in some cases the third ridge) about 12km from the bay. They struggled in rough terrain and found they were under increasing pressure from Turkish forces.

Matariki

Many, many centuries ago a mother fish told her seven little fish to stay by the rocks. The seven little fish were so caught up in their game of tag they forgot all about their mother’s warning. Then suddenly disaster struck - Tataraimaka’s net hit the water. He had made his net by magic from the flax that grows in Spirits Bay. Tane, the god of light, had pity on the little fish so he hauled Tataraimakas net up into the sky with the fish still in it and they up there in the sky as stars. They are now known as Matariki.

Dragon Rider

Title: Dragon Rider
Author: Corneilea Funke
Illustrator: Cornielea Funke
This story is about: A rat named Rosa and a dragon called Firedrake and a boy they meet later on. They are on a quest to find the rim of heaven on the way they get chased by the golden one who is evil.
I liked it because: it had lots of action and had some wonderful characters in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I would recommend it to my friend Harry who has already got it out from the Nelson Public Library.

Storm water

If we drop rubbish in our city’s drains it then ends up in the sea which is a big threat to the animals.

Rubbish

Fish are been affected by people that drop rubbish into drain, which leads down the drain and into the sea, which kills the fish in the sea, which is no good to the fish in the sea.

Global Warming

Global warming has a big impact on the world because us humans put chemicals that weaken the Earth’s outer layer so it causes the icebergs to melt which will cause the sea level to rise which will flood the Pacific islands, which will cause people to be homeless.
