Pacific Paradise or NOT?

This is my book review. I am  learning to summarize in my own words and form an opinion.                        Pacific Paradise By Mary Campbell  

What I have read is Pacific Paradise. This book is mostly about eels in New Zealand. the life cycle about eels and how they lay their eggs.   

First of all, This is the life cycle of an eel, im sure you want to know this. First they start off as eggs, as they grow a bit older they turn into larvae. then they would turn into glass eel. After that they would grow older and turn into elver. after all of that they finally turn into adults and reach full maturity. Here is a picture to demonstrate the life cycle of eels.

For the last part of this is them as adults about to lay their eggs.

So, how do they lay their eggs? Well it takes awhile, but they have to make their way upstream to make it to the ocean. Well when they finally make it it is time to lay their eggs. Once they have laid all their eggs they are so so exhausted, they die. Then off their eggs go to make it back to the creek to start their new lives.

I found this article very interesting and helpful. I enjoyed learning about the life cycle of an eel and knowing how they lay their eggs.  

Well there you go, that is all I have to share with you today.

 Fun With Mum By Ricci

                                                                                                

   On a Marvelous Friday afternoon Me and my mum and Kim went to Westfield mall in Riccarton.

   Firstly what we did what was obvious,  we went into the car and took off. My mum yelled out to me, “come on Ricci it's time to Go”  and I replied nicely “ok im coming, be there in a Sec” So the went into the car and put our seatbelts on and took of to Westfield Mall in Riccarton.

                     

Twenty  or so minutes later we were there, we went all the way to the top of the parking lot to find a carpark. I took ages to look for a empty carpark. I was waiting for years to find a carpark. But then…. WE FINALLY FOUND A PARKING SPOT! I shouted out loudly  “yay we found a parking spot.  By the time we found an empty car park I was like an old man.

  So then we hopped out of the car like rabbits and made our way to Kmart and Timezone.

After that we finally made it to kmart to buy some toys for me.  We were walking in Kmart then finally found the toys aisle.   The cool toys that I found was star wars spaceships The spaceships that I got was Tie  fighter, Stormtrooper transport and the ghost from the program Star Wars Rebels. The other toy I got was a big fighter jet including a guy to fly the fighter jet.

   My mum asked me “is that all you want”? I replied “Yep”so then me and my mum went to go to the counter and paid for my toys then skipped out of Kmart to go to Timezone.  

     After all off that We finally went to the final place of the day which was Timezone to play some games. Then I saw ghostbusters pinball but it was the plain version. That was the only game I played. So I jammed that game for a an hour or so until the money on the timezone was out. An hour later the card was out of money witch meant we had to go return it to the counter and then go back home. I said “oh man there is no more money left on it. So then it was a long walk back to the parking lot at the 20 minute drive back home
