Have you ever wondered how maggots grow? Well in Room 8 we discovered facts, like how the maggot's slime can be used for a healing balm for wounds and fly larvae can suppress our immune system from attacking so it can start eating the skin. It cleans your body by eating the dead skin so the wound can heal. We also learned about the Maggot's life cycle, so if you interested in knowing how maggots grow, read more.

Dear Diary
Today at school we had a big, loud welcome from a huge explosion outside. It was so loud I couldn't hear anything else. I got up and was the first out of my class. It was 12:11 pm when the school escaped. The horror of running through the sounds of screams, shootings, explosions, and bodies. Seeing people lying dead. The smell of bullets on the street, people's blood and flies buzzing around. Finally, I arrived home, it felt like waking up from a nightmare. But it got even worse. One of my best friends didn't escape from the school fast enough.
Dear diary
As I lay on my comfortable pillow in my small room I think of my yellow umbrella. The day I gave the umbrella to the boy made me feel like I gave away a memory. It was a mistake giving him the umbrella. My family had it forever and if I tell dad what happened he'll get angry. I feel so nervous. My legs are shaking . . .
The smell of sawdust from his clothes is getting stronger as he got closer to my room.
My dad asked where the umbrella is...
I have to go. Goodbye.
On Monday the 10th of May 2021, Room 8 went on a trip to the Akarana Yacht Club at Okahu Bay to learn how to sail. During the ride I felt nervous about whether I would get through the day without any mistakes and learn how to sail.
Although the day didn't help us with no wind and rain that fell after lunch, it didn't make the senior class of St Patrick's School give up. We learned how to get the boat ready by attaching parts together, how to steer and move the boat. We didn't really have enough time to jump off our boats for fun but we had a great time getting wet, laughing and playing games.
