quarintine tingz
The first few weeks of quarintine were pretty boring. I was just settling in. School work was kinda easy but as the weeks went it became harder and harder. Durinng this sad isolation I've been going on walk with my family, going quad biking and just enjoying relaxing. Iv'e watched most neflix shows and movies so Ive got nothing to do except go on my phone.
Now that the holidays are over, the only thing Im really doing is school work. If your one of my teachers and reading this please give us less work, its too hard and long please and thank you.

MMTS Navigation
Polynesian Navigation
The early polynesian people used the sun, moon, stars, planets and sea currents to lead their way through the Pacific Ocean. During the voyaging time, successful journeys relied on a number of circumstances: Well-built canoes, the skill of navigators and the weather. Voyages depended on sturdy wa’a kaulua, or double-hulled canoes - which were energized by sail and steered by a single huge oar. Navigators were anxious observers of the natural world. They were abundantly with trade wind-generated ocean swells, which normally flow southeast or northeast. By day, the Navigators could identify direction by the rocking motion of their canoes caused by swells. But at sunrise and sunset were even more useful. The suns position indicated east and west and created low light on the ocean that made it possible to see swells directly.

the cave
The Cave
Despite enjoying himself, Mike concentrated on the mission he’d be tasked with. He shone his spotlight down towards the murky depths below, and with a powerful push of his flippers he began the descent…
As he travelled through the misty waters, Mike started to get a little chilly. He carried on as he knew this mission was important. A couple minutes later Mike came across a little glowing bug. It clinged to the side of his left hand and then glided away as he swam.
Mike had finally reached the bottom of the cave. He now had to find his wife's ring, which is the reason he was there in the first place. Her name was susan. She lost her ring while they were on a cruise. She wanted to take a picture of the several dolphins she had spotted and somehow her ring slipped off and fell into the water.
I know what your thinking why not just buy another one? Well the ring is actually one of his ancestors wedding ring. The ring has been pasted from from generation to generation and now belongs to Mike and susan. In Fact the ring is made with real gold and lined with diamond pendants which makes it so special.
Mike began to search through the corals, leaving no stone unturned. All of a sudden, out the corner of his eye Mike, he spotted something glimmering under the flashlight. He swam other a lifted up a huge boulder. Underneath the huge rock lived crystals. Mikes eyes lit up. He couldn't believe it.
Soon mike reached to the top. He told his crew members about the amazing discovery he had just uncovered.

African Bush Elephant
African Bush Elephant
The African bush elephant, also known as the African savanna elephant, is the largest living terrestrial roaming this planet today. This breed of animal have been on earth for astonishing fifty-five million years as records of fossils have shown. Although the ancestors of African bush elephants became extinct during the last ice-age, there are still three thriving breeds of elephants, African forest elephant, Asian elephant and of course the African bush elephant.
What do they diet on ?
These large creatures spend twelve to eighteen hours a day eating, that's between two-hundred to nearly six-hundred pounds of food a day. As herbivores, elephants consume bark, twigs, grasses, shrubs and other plants. They can also drink up to one-hundred and eighty nine point two litres per day, which is the size of an average bathtub.
Where do African bush elephants live ?
The elephants given name is where they actually live, the African bush. They also live among savanna grasslands, partial deserts and primary forest within central and southern Africa. These locations give the elephants amazing access to food and water.
Weight ?
An average adult male would weigh around six thousand kilograms while, the heaviest recorded African bush elephant is ten tonnes . A newborn calf commonly weigh ninety-two kilograms.The baby Elephant, named Umzula-zuli, tipped the scales at more than 270 pounds, making him the largest Elephant calf ever born.
Are they endangered/Life-span
Sadly, yes,this breed of elephant like many others are vulnerably endangered. These magnificent animals remain under severe
threat from poaching and habitat loss. If they lived up to their full age limit, they would live for sixty to around seventy years.
