Michael's Heart Map Writing

When I go to the beach I like to go under the water.
The water tastes like sand. Once I opened my eyes
and I saw my uncle in the water. He was going under
the water with me and Wyatt. My other uncle came
and did a big splash. It made a big wave.

At the movies I went to see Annabelle comes
home. I saw a boy  at the movies and his name was Drake.
I went to his house and he had a brother named Josh.
He was very nice. Josh's family let me have dinner with them
and it was yummy.After that I went home to bed.

Yesterday I went over and played tag outside
then went  inside and played Planetside 2.
I was in the blue team. It was fun and we went
shopping. I got two games from the warehouse
and it was Zombies and Aliens.

Dams Dictogloss By Ken P

What is a dam?

Dams block off water in a river or a stream, so that
it must pass on to a barrier,  lake, or a reservoir for
storage.

Where are Dams built ?

Dams are built across a stream, a river or an estuary
to retain water . Dams assist with hydro electric power
and they support irrigation systems.

What are the purposes of dams?

Dams serve the primary purpose to retain water,
and are used to prevent water flow.

Where are Dams?

Water Care operates
fourteen supply reservoirs, five of them located in the
Waitakere Ranges, two of them located in Helensville,
and four located in the Hunua ranges.

Facts about Dams

The dams supply 80% of Auckland's water, since they
are built very high the rain water flows down them.
Earlier dams were made out of concrete.  After World
War 2, they were made out of earth and rock. Now
dams are made from concrete.

Dams in the Waitakere Ranges?

In the Waitakere Ranges there are five dams.
Three concrete dams, and two earth dams.
