Interviewing an inventor

Today my class was tasked to interview an inventor like Thomas Andrew who is the person I chose. 

Who would you interview if you had the chance?




Hello my name is Tane and today I am going to be interviewing Thomas Andrews the

creator of the mighty Titanic.



1.Who originally planned the creation of the Titanic and I know it might

be you but just explain to me what the original idea was?


2.What made you create the Titanic and was it always supposed to be so big or did you just plan it too far ahead and

that's when you were going to name it the Titanic?



3.When did the original idea come into

existence or mind because I just can't see myself wanting to

create a giant boat which would later just sink but I understand you didn't know this but still?


4.Where did the Titanic first start to get built and where was

it finished or did it just always stay in the same place?


5.How did I afford to build this massive boat and

how was it able to be built in under a year which shocks me to be honest?


6.Why did you want to build such a big boat with only

14 000 men and why did you ever create this boat like you should've known that it was destined to sink?


7. So were you on the boat when it sank to an iceberg? 


8.Did anyone survive the shipwreck and was able to escape?


9. How old were you when you first started to build the Titanic and how old were you when it sank?


10.Did you ever have any other plans in mind like making or creating another invention?

Traditional maori plants

 Silver Ferns


Maori would use silver ferns to mark their land by maori maraes all across aotearoa.They were also used to allow people to memories where there marea was at.They were most effective in the night because that would glow when the moon would shine on them creating a path for people to safely walk home.


In recent days the new zealand netball team named themselves the silver ferns returning the favor for what they did many many many years prior.


Fun fact silver ferns can actually grow up to ten meters or 33 feet . Also the fern can take a rare creeping form which isn't even half the size of a normal fern only growing up to 4 meters tall or 13 feet.


Silver ferns were discovered in 1880 and are known as the symbols of New Zealand by many all over the world.the fern is symbolised as many new zealand citizens homeland .

3 inventions

To me my three favourite inventions are water fountains, washing machines and dishwashers.




1. Water fountains are good because they help thirst dehydration. An early example of a fountain, found in Mesopotamia, dates from around 3000 BC. It consisted of a series of basins which made use of a natural spring. Mechanically operated fountains became familiar during the 15th century in Italy. But now today we find them everywhere in places like parks, schools and even in public places like shopping malls.



2. The first washing machine was made in 1797 and in 1851 it was updated into a manually operated machine. The earliest machine was in fact, less of a machine and more of a scrub board. I believe it’s useful for keeping clothes clean so you smell good. 


3. The first dishwasher was made in 1850 by a woman named Joel Houghton. I like the dishwasher so I have more time instead of doing dishes.
