Cultural festival

"I'm gonna throw up" whispered Isabell, standing backstage for 10 minutes was nerve racking not to mention we were performing in front of 1 thousand people. Then out of nowhere they annoyed our school, by a matter of seconds I found myself standing directly towards the audience. After all the songs and the haka we were walking down the stairs, it was the most fastest 8 minutes of my life. We got to our seats and watched the performances, but all I could think about was if the camera zoomed in on my face. Overall it was an amazing night I'll never forget it luckily I'll have the DVD forever.

Tessellations






A tessellation is a repeating pattern that can rotate and it has no gaps.

The shapes I have used to tessellate are triangles.

My shapes have been tessellated by reflecting.

Do you support tourism in Antarctica?

Some people believe that tourism should be allowed, while other people disagree. This statement will help you decide weather your are for or against tourism in Antarctica.

Firstly one of the amazing unique features of this hidden gem is the breathtaking wildlife,in Antarctica there are a lot of eye catching animals, from whales and seals to orca and penguins. Many people come to Antarctica for many reasons, mostly for spotting unique animals and amazing scenery.

Another amazing feature is the scenery, in Antarctica you can see glaciers, mountains and of course the breathtaking southern lights. At night it is one of the most extrudanary light shows in the world, colours of green, blue and yellow bursting out of the sky are amazing.

However pollution in Antarctica is one of many downsides with tourism. Damaging this continent could lead to ocean wildlife disappearing, leaving land animals with no food to raise there young. If tourists keep coming to Antarctica in the future will end up becoming a polluted floated waste.

If tourists visit Antarctica one of the bad things that will happen is frostbite. Frostbite is when your fingers of toes turn black and you would have to amputate them. That would mean if you wanted to go to Antarctica you would have to bring the right equipment and gear. This is an amazing continent but it can be a dangerous spot, so watch out!

In conclusion I believe that tourism should not be allowed in Antarctica because of the pollution and the wildlife. I hope this statement has helped you understand tourism in Antarctica and what it can cause if polluting this amazing continent. What would you do if you we're the cause of polluting Antarctica.
