In The Beginning



This term we have been learning about space here is some of my writing and a drawing about the Earth and the solar system.
In the beginning the surface of the Earth cooled to rocks over the the core.Most of the water on Earth water vapour in the atmosphere turned into liquid water.Then it fell as rain,then the oceans were created,and the world that we know is taking shape.

Henry Ford

Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor company and the sponsor of the assembly line and the inventor of the Ford motor car.

Most people credit Henry Ford for inventing the automobile. The fact is he didn't, but Henry Ford held many patents on automotive mechanisms.

Milestones: In 1863 Henry Ford was born on July 30th in Greenfield Township, now Dearborn, Michigan. In 1879 he left his family farm for Detroit to work in machine shops. In 1888 he married Clara Bryant and moved to an 80-acre farm in what is today Dearborn. During 1891 he secured a position as an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company.
In 1893 Edsel Bryant Ford, only child of Henry and Clara Ford, born.
During 1896 Henry completed his first automobile, the Quadricycle, and drives it through the streets of Detroit. He ended his employment with the Edison in 1898 to devote full attention to the manufacture of automobiles. In 1899 he was made chief engineer and partner in the newly formed Detroit Automobile Company.
In 1908 Ford began manufacturing the famous Model T and in 1910 he began operations at a factory in Highland Park, Michigan.
In 1913 Henry Ford introduced the first moving automobile assembly line at Highland Park manufacturing facility.

The invention of the car was important because it can get people to work and back to home. If you don't have a car there is plenty of other types of transport which you can use that are also cars, eg: taxi.

Visiting The Friendly Island Tonga!!!!!

Well first of all if you don’t know where Tonga is. It is a small island in the pacific ocean.
On Christmas my family and I went to Tonga to visit my grandparents and my cousins. When the plane landed in Tonga I was exited to be there. My uncle picked us up from the airport. We went to my grandparents house it is a small house in a village in Tonga called Houma. When we arrived at my grandparents house it was already dark and we went in side to surprise my grandparents and my cousins. When we did we had lollies so we gave them out to the family.
The next day we had a feast, we had all sorts of food such as taro, ofi, manioke (kasava) but the best part was eating the pig. When the feast was over the family played volley,rugby and dogeball, we all played until it was dark. My mum said it was time to go to bed then we went inside and a all went to bed.
When we left Tonga it was so sad that we had to leave the nice island. I hope to get another chance to go back to Tonga.
And that was my trip to TONGA!!!!
