On my blogroll there is origami instructions. It is easy and fun to fold.

10576 litres a week (not including cleaning our fish tanks because we clean the fish tank every two weeks and luckily it is not this week).

My family could reduce our household water if we wear our clothes for a longer time and not for a day then that will lower the days my mum will wash.

 If my mum showers more faster it might take 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes, that is 200 litres of water saved. (My mum has the longest shower in the family of four).

And if my dad uses the watering can and use the water from the rain water we have saved, then that would help too. And last of all if i turn off the tap when i am brushing my teeth then that maybe will work as well.

Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen  (July 16, 1872 –  June 18, 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions. He led the first Antarctic expedition to reach the South Pole between 1910 and 1912. He was also the first person to reach both the North and South Poles.He is known as the first to traverse the Northwest Passage. He disappeared in June 1928 while taking part in a rescue mission. With Douglas Mawson, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton, Amundsen was a key expedition leader during the North and South Poles.He is known as the first to traverse the Northwest Passage. He disappeared in June 1928 while taking part in a rescue mission. With Douglas Mawson, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton, Amundsen was a key expedition leader during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.On December 14, 1911, the team of five, with 16 dogs, arrived at the Pole . They arrived 35 days before Scott’s group. Amundsen named their South Pole camp Polheim, “Home on the Pole”. Amundsen renamed the Antarctic Plateau as King Haakon VII’s Plateau. They left a small tent and letter stating their accomplishment, in case they did not return safely to Framheim. The team returned to Framheim on January 25, 1912 with 11 dogs. Amundsen’s success was publicly announced on March 7, 1912, when he arrived at Hobart, Australia.

Amundsen’s expedition benefited from careful preparation, good equipment, appropriate clothing, a simple primary task (Amundsen did no surveying on his route south and is known to have taken only two photographs), an understanding of dogs and their handling, and the effective use of skis. In contrast to the misfortunes of Scott’s team, the Amundsen’s trek proved rather smooth and uneventful.

In Amundsen’s own words:

“I may say that this is the greatest factor — the way in which the expedition is equipped — the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding it. Victory awaits him who has everything in order — luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck.”

Sir Douglas Mawson was born in 5 May 1882 he was an Australian Antarctic explorer and a geologist.In1910 Mawson lead his own expedition.They used the ship called Aurora to travel.On 24 May 1912 the average wind velocity for March was 49 miles/hr;April 51 miles/hr and May 67.7 miles/hr.

On his way back,he married Paquita Delprat and was knighted.He died at his Brighton home on 14 October 1958 from a cerebral haemorrhage.
