The Landfill by Harry
Today we went to the Wellington Landfill. When I got out of the bus I felt annoyed because of the smell. We had to wear yellow jackets because of the traffic.
First we looked at the poster which showed you how much rubbish can be in a yellow bag.
Then we looked at some of the scrap metal. Each TV, to recycle, costs $25. It costs that much money because they have to take all the parts out and recycle each part differently.
After we looked at the recycle centre we got on the bus and drove to the tip. When we got out of the bus, I was even more annoyed because it was even more smelly. I felt desolate when I looked at the birds. It was like pollution. It wasn't even covered up. When we went back to the bus we looked at the compost. The good thing is, you can use it.
It wasn't better than any trips and it wasn't worse than any other trips so it was an okay trip.

The process of weathering, erosion, and deposition | By Harry
First weathering: weathering is when wind or water weakens rock or soil. For example, the sea wall was weakened by the wind. The wind blows the water which creates a wave and brings tiny rocks with it. The water is wearing away at the rocks.
Over hundreds of years the rocks disappear as they become sand particles. This happens to all the rocks in the sea.
Second, erosion. We can erode the land in mines. You would find the rock or crystal and then it would go into a mine cart, travel all around the mine and go back to the start.
The wind can be very strong so it picks up dirt. The water is strong because anything that goes near it can be picked up and washed away.
Mostly dirt and sand is eroded by water or the wind. Then rocks can be deposited down a creek and end up in the sea and then they may be never found again. A delta is a rivermouth that's been building up with sand a lot. When sand builds up because it's come from somewhere else it is called deposition.

By Harry
A man riding in muddy water
He is feeling cold and tired
He can smell fresh air and dirty water
He can taste the sea water
Coming home from the beach
He's probably going to get changed when he gets home
because he's very wet.

The Dark Crystal | by Harry
in the sun
is it a rock
or a crystal?
It has black shiny bits
all over it
they are cold and sharp
and this is all connected
to a rock.
