Avoca Homestead

Here is some information from the DOC website.
The Old Avoca Homestead, built in 1909, has been recently restored. Access is via Craigieburn Road, which becomes McFarland Road at the last railway crossing by the Avoca Railway Station. The road crosses the railway line or runs alongside it at several places, extreme care is needed as many coal trains use this rail. Just before reaching Broken River, the road becomes a rough 4WD track. Avoca Homestead is finally reached by crossing Broken River.

Avoca Station was one of the most inaccessible stations in the Waimakariri Basin. The original run lay north of Broken River and was enlarged in 1904 by adding a block on the south bank taken from the Mt Torlesse run. In 1917, Avoca was incorporated into Flock Hill. The old Avoca was taken up by Charles Harper, son of the Bishop of Christchurch. He shore sheep on the property and brother George packed the wool out on bullocks, three sacks each, then sledged it over Porters Pass.

It is so much fun because what you want like bringing dogs and riding motorbikes.

skills: it doesn't have to rhyme, you write it in sentences, you can use moves and actions they also shouted. I don't really know. 6

Puberty
I learnt about the changes and challenges that come with puberty. It was funny as hell listening to the teachers talk about it. I couldn't stop laughing.

I haven't had much time in drama, so far its pretty boring because I haven't done anything fun.

charlesworth reserve

This 20 ha of land, separated from the estuary by Linwood Ave and Humphries Drive, was drained in the 1920s and used as pasture. Restoration began in 1991, when paddocks were cleared and planted, and tidal pools were re-created.

The reserve is comprised of a tidal basin with surrounding saltmeadow, saltmarsh, coastal shrubland and coastal bush. Its role is to provide nesting, roosting and feeding habitat for native and migratory birds, as well as provide habitat for fish, estuarine marine life, lizards and terrestrial invertebrates.

The space is also a valuable recreational area for the local community. Seats at viewing points overlook the pools which are a hotspot for wetland and wading birds, including the migratory bar-tailed godwit/kuaka.

 Over 100,000 trees, shrubs and marsh plants have now been planted at this site and volunteers play a major role in caring for these.  To protect the birdlife, dogs are prohibited from near the tidal pools, ponds and wetland areas.

Dogs on a leash are allowed in rest of reserve.

Charlesworth Reserve is a wetland edge walk featuring restoration planting, wetland birds, and tidal pools. The walk only takes 15-20 minutes return – you can start and finish in the Charlesworth Street car park in Brookhaven. There are a couple of additional paths you can explore to extend your walk.

Most paths are gravel so are OK for small bikes, not so great for scooters. Perfectly fine for buggies. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed in the wetland areas.

Keep an eye out for wetland wading birds like the oyster catcher (torea), pied stilt (poaka), and white-faced heron (matuku moana).

Science - What i would take to a desert island

THE ICECAPS HAVE MELTED. MOST OF THE LAND IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN FLOODED AND YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF KNOW WHERE. YOUR BOAT IS SUDDENLY STRUCK BY A STORM AND YOU BECOME SHIPWRECKED ON A SMALL ISLAND. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO SELECT 20 ITEMS FOR YOUR GROUP. A SECOND BOAT IS TRAVELLING NEAR YOU BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACH YOU FOR 1 MONTH SO YOU NEED TO GATHER ENOUGH SUPPLIES TO LAST FOR A MONTH.

In your group you need to:

1. Make a list of the 10 things you are going to collect.
2. Draw a map of the island.
4. Draw and label the activities you will be involved with.

• Renewable energy sites ( wind, solar, hydro, )
• Living / shelter
• Growing food
• Write 3 sentences about how your group is going to live for the next month.

When you are drawing your map you need to list 4 places you can have renewable energy sites.

10 things i would keep.

1. Plastic bottle (i know how to make a filter)

2. A pocket knife

3. First aid kit

4. Gun and amunition

5. Axe (better than a saw because it has more uses)

6. Flint and steel to make fire (not matches or lighter because they run out)

7. A big pot for cooking

8. A sun hat

9. Sturdy leather shoes

10. Emergency torch ( solar power, winder, radio)

This is my island design. I think it is pretty good because it has coconut trees, a bridge over a stream, hills and wild animals.

How i survived on the island.

The first thing i would need to do is find clean water. i walked around the island a bit to see what i could find and there was a river that separated the island into two parts. I chopped down a tree with my axe so i could get across to the other side. The river water looked ok to drink but a made a filter with my plastic bottle to make sure.

The next thing i need to do is get food. There were coconut trees where i was shipwrecked and they have coconut milk and food in them. I would also hunt for some food.

I would also need to make shelter first to stop the sun from hitting me and getting sunburnt but also for somewhere to sleep and incase it rains. If i make the roof out of leaves or an old tarpoline that we found i could collect water from the roof to drink.

At night i need to make a fire to keep mosquitoes away and to cook food and signal for help. Im will be able to cook craps, shark,fish, crayfish, seaweed, clams, mussells and any birds or rabbits i might catch.

If there was any cows or goats i could milk them and i could eat birds eggs.

Renewable energy

If you had access to any materials you wanted how would you make renewable energy for your island?

1. Solar panels. I would put these near the beach so they arent in the shade in the sunniest part of the island.
2. Wind turbine. I would put this on the highest point of the island facing where the wind comes from.
3. Wave power generator. I would put this out at sea where the biggest waves are.
4. Water wheel. This would go by a big waterfall in the river. The water pushes it around when it falls on it. I hook it up to an old washing machine.

What food would you grow on your island?

Spinach, coco for chocolate, Brocholi, banana, feijoa,grapefruit, potatoes, sweet potato, peas,

Turning the compost

Today we decided to go outside and start cleaning up the garden properly. We had pitchforks to loosen the soil and stab bits of rubbish. We used them to pick up the soil and shovels to dig up the soil and then we can rake to the junk off top of the dirt so we can get more rubbish out there and stuff in the sac that was made by wall it's smell like poopwe need to flip the compost over so we can get all the rubbish out so it will grow into nice soil so we can grow stuff we are going to use it in our seedlings plantare veggie boxes. Mr Mitchell said that if you pick up 30 pieces of rubbish you will get a carr card stamp.There were lots of worms, wriggling around in the soil. they wriggle around and eat scraps and poop out soil this makes really good soil. they eat more then they poop out.

We found lots of plastic about a thousand pieces we put them in a bag to be taken away.
We found lots of leaves and sticks.
We found lots of old rotten fruit.
There were pens, parts of pens, pencils, scissers and drink bottles.
I kept some of the pens, and the scissers and cleaned them and put them in my tote tray.
Turning over the dirt was dirty and sweaty.
