Antarctica - Written by Khaia

Antarctica is larger than europe and australia it is extremely cold. It’s like a desert but cold and the icebergs are carved by the wind and sea. I’d hate to go in a condition with one of the strongest storm there. The water is really icy but when you go all the way down to the bottom of the sea its warm because its closer to the center of the world.

There are many animals that live in Antarctica some are clumsy some are carnivores and some slide on their bellies.  The killer whale is a carnivores because it eats other whales, it also eats squid, fish, seal, dolphins and seabirds. There is one seal that eats other seals baby and that is the leopard seal they call it the leopard seal because of its spots. Did you know the emperor penguin is the largest penguin. there are 17 different types of penguins and five different types of seals.

Testing Week

Testing week is upon us here at Pt England School. After a long, hard year, where we have learnt so much and tried our hardest to improve, it is our chance to show what progress we have made.


These photo's are of us doing our writing sample. Can you see anything that is strange about they way we do our writing in Room 15?

You guessed it. We don't use pencils or paper to write on these days, we have our very own netbooks to type our writing. In term one we used pencils and paper because our typing skills weren't the best but after using our netbooks for 3 terms we are now all really quick typers, so this is how we do it.

MOTAT Field Trip

Yesterday Room 15, 16 and Room 17 went to Motat. We went to Motat because we wanted to learn more about our Technology topic Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger.

We saw a Mirror Maze, which was confusing. The Tactile Dome was cool because we had to figure out how to get out. There were old telephones at Motat and we went to the Challenge Zone too. When we were in the Challenge Zone we were buzzing with excitement because it was such a huge room. My group saw a Steam Engine which was really old. The best thing we saw was massive fire trucks which were different to the normal ones. They were longer and taller.

I enjoyed going to Motat on the bus and I had so much fun.
