Good morning everyone! My name is Dea Ametysta and I am from class science 3. If you’re sitting here at School Hall today, it means you want to make a change of your school. You’re here on your own time because you care about this school—and you want to make sure I care about it as much as you do. You want to make sure I’ll bring real solutions with me to office, not just bandages. Well, I’m not going to waste any of your time. My main focus today is our school.

I am standing here as a candidate of the leader of student council, period 2013 / 2014. If I’ve choosen to be the leader, I will work hard to makes student’s wish come true. I will try my best so I could hear and know what student needs and make it come true.

For the example, I will make an event that you can give your opinion to me. We can make a forum that we can speak as a friend, so you can tell me everything.

I will make a change of this school. Like, make this school cleaner that before so you can study comfortably. Every Friday, every class should clean their class after the lesson finished.

Bazzar, is the best event of every school and I will make the best bazzar you’ve ever seen. I will make this school more exist than before. More fun and cool.

I will make a lot of positive change in this school, but I couldn’t make it come true without your vote. So, vote me for the better change of this school. Thankyou.

Holiday

Holiday is something that we always waiting. It’s the time for us to rest after 6 month studying. Some people going to another city, and some going to another country. About me, I spent my holiday in Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia.

Home sweet home! I miss my parents, my little brother, my home and my room. Actually, I live in apartment. I lived in Apartment Kemang Marbella in Kemang Road, Bangka Raya Street, South Jakarta.

In Jakarta, nothing special. I just spent my holiday playing with my little brother. In the morning, I went to fitness center in my apartment after that I went out of the apartment and going somewhere, sometimes mall or restaurants or watching some movies or somewhere. I come back to my apartment at 10 o’clock or 11 o’clock in the night. Sometimes, if I came back to my apartment at 6 o’clock, me and my little brother went swimming in 5^th level of my apartment.

In the end of my holiday, I just doing my homework, monochromatic and polychromatic. It’s really hard but after it finished, I really loved looking at it. Because I think it’s beautiful.

Glow Worm Cave

The Waitomo Glowworm Caves attraction is a cave at Waitomo on the North Island of New Zealand, known for its population of glowworms,Arachnocampa luminosa. This species is found exclusively in New Zealand.

The name "Waitomo" comes from the Māori words wai, water and tomo, hole or shaft. The local Māori people had known about the caves for quite some time before the local Māori Chief Tane Tinorau and an English surveyor, Fred Mace, did an extensive exploration in 1887. Their exploration was conducted with candlelight on a raft going into the cave where the stream goes underground. This is now the exit for the cave. As they began their journey, they came across the Glowworm Grotto and were amazed by the twinkling glow coming from the ceiling. As they travelled further into the cave by poling themselves towards an embankment, they were also astounded by the limestone formations. These formations surrounded them in all shapes and sizes.

They returned many times after and Chief Tane independently discovered the upper level entrance to the cave, which is now the current entrance. Tane Tinorau and his wife Huti, by 1889, had opened the cave to visitors and were leading groups for a small fee. The administration of the cave was taken over by the government in 1906 after there was an escalation in vandalism. In 1910, the Waitomo Caves Hotel was built to house the many visitors.

In 1989, the land and cave were returned to the descendants of Chief Tane Tinorau and Huti. They now receive a percentage of the cave’s revenue and are involved in the management and development of the cave. These descendants encompass many of the employees of the caves today.

Geological and volcanic activity has created around 300 known limestone caves in the Waitomo region over the last 30 million years.

The limestone formations in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves were formed when the region was still under the ocean about 30 million years ago. The limestone is composed of fossilized corals,seashells, fish skeletons, and many small marine organisms on the sea beds. Over millions of years, these fossilized rocks have been layered upon each other and compressed to create limestone and within the Waitomo region the limestone can be over 200 m thick.

The caves began to form when earth movement caused the hard limestone to bend and buckle under the ocean and rise above the sea floor. As the rock was exposed to air, it separated and created cracks and weaknesses that allowed for water to flow through them dissolving the limestone and over millions of years large caves were formed.

The stalactites, stalagmites, and other cave formations grew from water dripping from the ceiling or flowing over the walls and leaving behind limestone deposits. The stalagmites form upward from the floor while the stalactites form from the ceiling. When these formations connect they are called pillars or columns and if they twist around each other they are called helicti. These cave decorations take millions of years to form given that the average stalactite grows one cubic centimetre every 100 years.

The most renowned animal in the cave is the glowworm Arachnocampa luminosa. There are several small underwater lakes that were created by freshwater creeks or brooks.

The walls of the caves are covered with a variety of fungi including the cave flower (a distant relation to the genus Pleurotus) that is actually a mushroom-like fungus. The most common animals in the caves are insects. This includes albino cave ants, giant crickets, and of course the glowworms.
