A Monster Wrote me a Letter

At the Start of the year, we read a book called A Monster Wrote Me a Letter. In one of our activities relating to the book, we had to draw a character and around it we had to write words that described the character.

Some of my words describing the monster were...

1. Messy but clean Freak

Hot air balloons

Hot air Balloons have a Pilot and the Pilot can control the Hot air Balloon. The Balloonists do not fly at night. The people that are on the ground they follow the Hot air Balloon. Many are used for sight-seeing and the fun of flying. Before the Hot air Balloon flies they put hot air inside. The first flight was in 1783 in france. There are hot air inside so the Hot air Balloon can fly. It is 70 kilograms and it is 154 pounds. The balloon is called a envelope. The rope is called cables. Hot  air  Balloons  are  large  flying  machines  that  lift  people  off  the  ground. People  have  been  flying  in  Hot  air  Balloon  for  more  then  two  hundred  years. To  keep  flying  in  the  air  in  the  envelope  must  stay  hot. The  burner  heats  the  air. The  envelope  and  the  basket  are  driven  in  a  truck  to  take-off  field. A  team  of  people  unload  the  balloon  and  get  it  ready  to  fly. People  hold  the  bottom  of  the  envelope  for  it  to  stay  open. Hot  air  Balloons  go  where  the  wind  pushes  them. Pilots  try  to  take  the  balloon  to  a  hight  where  they  can  find  a  wind  that  takes  them  where  they  want  to  go. Balloons  might  get  caught  up  in  power  lines. It  is  difficult  to  find   a  place  to  land. As  hot  air  escapes  through  the   vent  cool  air  is  sucked  in  through  the  bottom  of  the  envelope. The  cool  air  makes  the  balloon  heavier  and  it  starts  to  lose  height.

special effects

SPECIAL EFFECTS
Hi my name is levi and i have been leaning about special effects. there are lots of movies that use special effects. you can see special effects on television too. many people work together to make special effects it takes a lot of planing. the special effects team might have to make a flood or fires, accidents and explosions. All these are some special effects. all special effects have to be made safe but they still have to look real. If a stunt was going into a fire you would have to wear a fire proof mask glove suit hood. If the stunt team has to make a car roll over then the car has to have a strong roll cage. The special Effects team and the stunt team work together to make stunts look real. stunt people are people who stand in for actors when a dangerous stunt can be blowing up or a car driving into the water. all stunts have to be very carefully worked out. The teams make sure that all of the stunts are safe.

undersea gardens

I learnt that farmers use seaweed to feed their animals and I learnt that seaweeds can grow up to 70m. high and the longest seaweed can grow faster then any plant green seaweeds. green seaweed often grows near fresh water you may find them. growing where streams flow into the sea crabs hide from their, predators inside seaweeds and some seaweeds can mack fish blend in to hide from their predators.seaweeds come in all shapes and sizes they can also look like grass some seaweeds. Feel slimy and their slime protects their blade from getting damaged by the waves.

Sea-horses wrap their tails around seaweeds so they don't get swept into deep seas    

Undersea Gardens

We have been learning about Undersea Gardens I wanted to find out if fish hide in the coral. fish do hide in the coral from there predator. some fish can blend in with coral. sea weed is put in ice cream /sushi/paint and medicine. some sea creatures look like coral but instead some coral sometimes. on fish shows sting rays hide in the sand so if you go diving. remember to watch out for sting rays If you can't swim don't go diving sea weed can grow up to 70 meters! It can be different colours red/brown/pink/green and purple they can come in different shapes and sizes seaweed sometimes floats onto the sand.
