The fantasy tree

                                                     Once upon a time long ago at a old rusty farm there was a fantasy tree. This is no normal tree it’s a very special tree. More special than all the other trees surrounding it. The farmers call this tree the Fantasy Tree because that tree helps them grow kumara, potatoes, bananas and some special coconuts. “Ohh now I know why they call this the fantasy tree, now I know where to get my fresh kumaras and bananas from”. The good thing about this tree is that is attracts a lot of people's attention

But the sad thing is at least once a year these undercover ninjas try to cut and

steal this fantasy tree. The farmers a  sick of them trying to steal their tree but they have no option but to protect with all their heart. As night falls the ninjas will come in any minute now, as they are waiting all they can hear is the strong wind and the dogs barking. They can finally see the ninja about to approach them so they get ready to get into battle.

After 6 hours in battle, the war had finally came to an end a the farmers had won again, the happened again a they went thru the same situation over and over again. The farmer were so angry that the barricaded half the land.  

Until one day the farmers were fed up with the ninjas. So they came up with and idea with the ninjas which was a treety “ huhuh get it, treety “. so that night when the ninja would come again, once the farmers saw the ninjas the yelled at them and said “ Hey youse we need to talk to you for a minute”. So they put their weapon down and slowly walk over to each other. So, long story short they ended up making a treety for the ninjas to never ever try and steal the tree of fantasy. Then so they lived happy ever after. The END

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Iron

Oxygen

Water

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

Oxygen from the air mixes with water. The iron surface of the nail reacts with the oxygen mixed in the water. It forms iron oxide. Iron oxide reacts with the water. It forms hydrated iron oxide - red stuff we call rust. This process continues until all the iron is eaten up.

How could you prevent something from rusting?

Use paint and alloys (mixes of metals). Another way of avoiding rust is using spray-on wax or oil coatings that the car companies sell. One alloy that could be used is stainless steel, which helps the the iron to last longer (rusts slower). Keep iron away from water and oxygen. Another way is by galvanising. This means to coat Zinc over iron and only the zinc will be affected but you can easily wash it of. You could also use a coating of paint to stop water from getting into cracks to stop or to slow down the rusting process.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

We learnt that oxygen, air and water is what causes things to rust. Also we didn’t know that rust could be prevented by painting over the metal, using spray-on wax or oil coatings. All iron objects can be rusted if they are exposed by oxygen and water including trains, bikes (chains), skateboards (wheel bearings), house roof and many other things. One interesting fact that we found out was that the harbour bridge has the biggest paint job to prevent it from rusting.
