Thrusday Reading task

NIWA - National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research

Artificially - fake

Atmospheric - the thing in the sky that keeps all 

High-resolution - means better quality

Examined by scientists - that means that scientists studys it.

Submersible - means it is a small submarine

Enabled - if you are Enabled you can do your work.

Seabed - is the thing at the bottom of the sea.

How do the scientists study the reef? What are they trying to show or figure out?

Of how much or lower their ph can go.

Why are the NZ scientists testing in an "artificially acidified sea water" - what does this mean?

It's like a fish tank where they use it to experiment on something.

Why does Australia have tropical coral and NZ have cold-water coral?

Because Australia is in the equator and NZ is nowhere.

 near the equator.

Where does NZ cold-water coral grow? How far down?Why can't NZ have tropical coral?    It is 4kilomotors deep. NZ can’t have tropical coral because it is not near the equator.


How do scientists get the cold water coral so they can study it?By fishermen fishing it by accident with a net.

Make a DLO showing 'before and after' type photos of coral reefs. Make a screencast and explain how coral reefs are damaged using your own words.

New words
 canaries - Birds
Carbon monoxide - invisible gas extremely dangerous 
Sandbags - Bags full of sand
Distinctive - obvious
Detonated - Explode
Haul- Carry

New words
Cathedral-big  

My summary 
People would usually go underground and put explosive bombs to explode the enemy. They would use canaries to sing and when the bird stopped singing the soldiers  would run out because of a dangerous gas. 


My summary


Comprehension Questions 
 What was the ground made of in Arras? Add a picture to help explain. Sand stone because it was easy to dig.
What did miners use to dig the tunnels? Add pictures. Shovel and pickaxe.
How would an enemy plane be able to spot where a tunnel was being dug?Sandstone on the dirt and dirt pile up.
Why was tunneling “a race against time”?Because both countries would dig tunnels.
Why did miners block the tunnel with sandbags after putting explosives in the end of the tunnel? So they can’t die.
In what ways could miners or soldiers be killed because of the tunnels? (more than one answer)Carbon monoxide,too hot,counter mining.
What was the reason miners kept a canary or mouse in a cage inside the tunnel? So they would use it to sing and when it stops then they would run out because of a dangerous gas.

Comprehension Questions 
1`) What does “worked around the clock in 8 hours shifts” mean?
2) How big were the caverns? How do you know this?Cathedral-sized means big.
3) Why did the tunnels connecting the caverns need to be very wide? How wide would you estimate they were?
4) Why were these caverns kept a secret?So they would tell the enemy.
5) What was the purpose of naming the caves?

Tunnel




  • THE TUNNELLERS FROM NEW ZEALAND The men who volunteered for the New Zealand Tunnelling Company were mostly miners from towns like Waihi or Reefton – or they were bushmen and labourers. They were rough, tough men, used to working in dangerous situations and looking out for their mates. Many belonged to trade unions and didn’t take kindly to authority, but they soon learned to march, salute, and take orders. In December 1915, after basic military training in Auckland, more than four hundred men left for the Western Front. Several smaller groups of tunnellers followed later as reinforcements. The Tunnelling Company arrived in the northern French town of Arras in the freezing winter of March 1916. Arras had once been beautiful – but by 1916, it was in ruins. Most of the civilians had been evacuated, and British troops occupied the shattered buildings. Every day, German artillery Æ“ red shells into the town. Other tunnelling companies were already based near Arras, and each one was in charge of a certain area. The New Zealanders were sent to replace French tunnellers who were digging beneath a network of trenches named the Labyrinth. It was here – just north of Arras – that the New Zealanders joined the war underground. Trade unions - a group of workers who come together to fight for better working conditions (E.g. cleaner places, better pay, better hours). Waihi - a place in NZ - north island - where they had a big mine. Miners - people who worked in mines Labourers - people who had labour intensive jobs (E.g. builders, carpenters, road workers) Ruins - a building that Civilians - normal people, not soldiers Evacuate - to leave Occupied - stayed in Labyrinth - a type of maze Wesley: Nearly all the men volunteered to invade the Western front. All of the civilians were evacuated before NZ got to the Western front. The NZ tunneling crew arrived at the Northern french town in Arras in the freezing winter of March 1916. They had to dig tunnels underground for their job. They were to dig under the enemy and explode them.

People that dig underground to build or explode the enemy trench. What were their jobs before the war? Bushmen Labours Famers Miner What were the two things they did during WW1? Underground caverns to hide soldiers or equipment To make a small tunnel to put explosives near the enemy After the tunnels weren’t useful anymore, these soldiers also built bridges to help out Allied soldiers. Where were the men mostly from? Find these places on a map of NZ and draw arrows towards them. from towns like Waihi or Reefton

E.g. 
¼ = 4 pieces = 100 divided by 4 is 25. So 0.25… which as a percentage is 25%
⅛ = 8 pieces = 100 divided by 8 is 12.5 .. so as a percentage 12.5%

When there is a numerator larger than one, take your percentage and multiply it by the numerator. 
E.g. 3/5 = 5 pieces = 100 divided by 5 is 20. So ⅕ is 0.20 (or 20%)... 3x20=60, so ⅗ = 0.60 (or 60%)
