Bike Saftey

When bikes get stolen most people will have an ID number at the bottom of the bike. It's important to write it down with the description of the bike so you can tell whether its your bike or not. You could tell the police and they will go searching for the bike. You will definitely be able to tell because all bikes have a different ID number so you will never get mixed up or find the  wrong one.

While riding a bike you must always wear a helmet. Most importantly for your head safety and also because it is law. If you don’t wear a helmet you might end up getting fined or having a very severe brain damage problem and you might be cabbage for the rest of your life.

Before you go out bike riding you must also make sure your tyres are pumped tightly and there are no shreds or holes in it, if you need your tyre to be pumped up you could ask a friend or a family member to pump it up for you.

Another common thing you must check is your brakes are working properly and that your brake cords are not tangled up. If your brakes are not functioning right you, might be riding really fast and won’t be able to stop and might crash.

If you go on bike rides a big cold drink would be a good idea, water is recommended. If you don't do this you might get a chance of getting dehydrated and very sick.

If you're riding at night a good thing to have is a high visible vest and some lights to go on your helmet and the front and back of the bike. This makes it easier for other cars to see you and not crash into you.

When you see a cycle track nearby you must use it, it is important that you use your hand signals 3 seconds before you make your move. If you do not use your hand signals correctly you might end up confusing drives and you could end up in a bad crash. The law also says ride on the left side of the road. Its better to ride on the road so you don't get hit by reversing cars.

My favorite thing at camp Kiatawa - Onepoto caves

My favorite thing at camp Kaitawa was the Onepoto caves. It was so fun! Because I had never experienced that!

Research

The track starts of with a gentle 10 minute climb, through a number of rocky outcrops and overhangs. There is a lookout point along the ridge that has a clear view of the stratified layers of rock comprising the “intact block” of rock that's slide down from the Ngamoko range.
Distance: 2km

Time: 2hr return

Simply put, caves are made by water. But, water alone could never make the incredible formations found in caves. It’s actually a chemical reaction. As a plant and animal matter decays in the top level of soil, it releases carbon dioxide gas. Water seeping through reacts with this gas to form weak carbonic acid. As carbonic acid dissolves the solid limestone; a chemical reaction causes it to dissolve even more limestone. about 25 times more than it would dissolve in water alone. The limestone-water drips through the cavern, the carbon dioxide evaporates and the calcium carbonate that is left forms stalactites and stalagmites we see in caves.

What, when, where, who, why

I really liked because I have never been in a cave before and I was amazed by the terrain and how big the holes and big drops were.

Next time

Next time I would like to go on more bigger caves and ones that go deeper and then go out. I also wish next time we could go on ones that have more types of insects and things like bats and rats.

Conclusion - summary

I had so much fun and really enjoyed experiencing these opportunities. I went  out of my comfort zone a little bit and I would love to go again!

Our topic...

Our (Sami, Daniel, Rhys and I's project)  Topic was to find a way to save the Earth from an asteroid named Doomsday one. So we formed into a four and started Researching. In the end this is what our presentation turned out to be....
