Waiouru Museum Robbery


Today for reading we were researching about a story. My partner Tiava and I worked together to find the different perspectives of the story. We choose to read about the Waiouru Museum robbery. This event happened in 2007. A man named James Joseph Kapa was caught stealing 96 military medals. These medals were gifted to the museum by the families who have lost loved ones in the war. We also wrote our opinion on the situation.

Have you ever wondered how camels survive in the desert? Camels survives in the
desert because it has special features that protect them from the 42 degrees sand.

Desert is a dried place but the camels can walk on because they have pads on they feet
and also on their chest, so they can lay down on the hot sand. Camels have fat in their
humps because it stores food.

Camels doesn’t get sand in their eyes because they have double layer eyelash. They
don’t get sand in their ears because they have hair in it that protect it from the sand.
They also don’t get hair in they nose because they can close their nose. Camels have
thick lips so they can eat cactus.

Camels can survive in the 42 degree dessert because it is used to it own environment.
They can also drink up to 46 liters of water in one go which is 42 of 1 liter coke
bottle. Have you ever wondered why camels lives in the desert.

This Week for writing we write an explanation about Camels and how they adapt to
their environment. Before we started our writing we watch 3 video clips, we also got
our books because we needed it for our planning. I enjoyed writing this week because
I learnt about Camels and how they adapt to their environment.
