Kahoot

The last week of turn our teacher wanted it to be fun so we did a few really cool kahoots.
Some of you might not know what a kahoot is, it is a app sort of thing and you put questions onto it then someone who goes to play the game clicks one of the buttons and the button the person who created clicked to say it was the right answer well that means that is the right answer.
So we did a kahoot we even did a 60 something one about spelling.
It was so much fun.
Did you all ready know what a kahoot was?

Pyjamas in the pool

On the last day of term 3 we got to swim in our pjś it was really fun, we had been doing survival swimming and going in a boat but do not forget about regular swimming such as freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, and the caterpillar.
We had heaps of fun it was so cool, it is always the favourite part out of the two weeks.

Have you ever worn pyjamas in the pool?

Rugby World Cup Pools

I did a google drawing of the Pools for the Rugby World Cup.

Do you think I did a good job?

Climate Change

You may not know this but our world is changing this is because of Climate Change.

Us humans are the ones that caused it, we created plastic and we dumped it everywhere.

Everything we do impacts our world and changes the way of our worlds cycle.

Since the earth is becoming warmer in the winter and summer some of our natural forests are turning into kebabs. The forests are burning up and every new fire becomes every less tree in our world.

We need to change the way we treat our earth because eventually at this rate we won´t have a world.

We need to watch where we step because if we stand on the wrong thing our Carbon Footprint.

Every time we don´t put our rubbish in the bin it might accidentally blow away and it might blow into a drain and then out to sea, plastic is not so fantastic.

Rugby World Cup

Some of you may know that this year is the Rugby world Cup, If you did not know but the trophy they win if they win the cup is actually called the Web Ellis cup because he invented it by taking a ball and running with it. Since it is the Rugby World Cup we all got to pick a country and answer some questions about that country, I chose Canada because the colours are nice I like the Maple Leaf and because everyone would probably chose either New Zealand or maybe Australia, GO New Zealand If you don't know but New Zealand won against South Africa. Here is a slideshow on Canada.

Have you watched any Rugby World Cup games? 

I know I have not.

Amazing Aqua Man

We had to write a blog post on what super power we would like to have if we could.
I decided that I would want to have the same powers as Aqua Man.
-Aqua Man can breathe underwater
-hold his eyes open underwater
-control the sea
that would be awesome and you will also have a cool Trident.

Do you reacon my power is cool?
What super power would you want to have?

Hutton's Shearwater

The Huttons Shearwater bird is very Native to New Zealand and special to Kaikoura and to seawater Kaikoura Ranges. They nest high in the mountains and are the only Native bird in New Zealand that nests in the mountains. They arrive in late spring and wait for the snow to melt and show their burrow.
They spend summer in Kaikoura and in winter they fly to Australia, This type of bird is nearly exstinct it only has 2 colonies left, 2. In November of 2016, they suffered a further blow when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake badly affected their habitat in the mountains, destroying around 15% of their nesting area and possibly killing an estimated 200,000 individuals.
These birds are very important to are country we don't want to lose these natural birds to predators and earthquakes do we.

Do you think I picked a good bird to do my work on?

Bumbling Bumble bees

Bumble Bees, They are very important to our world if they go exstinct the world would start dying off and we would be left with no actual living plants and then no honey.
We have to be really careful now days because every little thing we do to the environment counts, the more polluted our world becomes the more bumble bees we are destroying.

The word Bumblebee is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word bumble means:
It means sort of us humans mumbling but if you listen to a bumblebee you can here it make a noise sort of like a bumble noise.

Bumblebees can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour.

 Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do _____

times as much work as a normal honeybee.

Do you know how much more times does a bumblebee work as a normal honey bee?

My Graph

If have done a graph here of many very hot places but these places get into the 70's that must be really hot. These places are not from New Zealand these places are to hot for New Zealand.
Here is my bar Graph.
What is the hottest temperature you have had?

Safety Sun Screen

It is very important to be careful when in the sun because if you spend to much time in the sun you could get skin cancer.
Here are some ways on how not to get skin cancer.
1. make sure to apply sun screen regularly when in the sun.
2. wear a hat so you do not get a burnt face.
3. if you feel like you are getting sun burnt of feel hot go under some shade.
4.If you were a shirt or a rashie (swimming suit) there will be a slightly less chance of sun burn.
5.The last one is optional sunglasses, sunglasses protect your eyes from the harmful sun.

Make sure to be sun smart, do you have any other ways to prevent skin cancer?

exciting New Zealand

This Holidays the teacher gave us homework to do (optional). This time we had to write what we think the best time of the year is to visit New Zealand. I reacon that the best time to visit New Zealand is in the Summer, because hot weather, sunny skies, and more cool atractions to go and do.

If you do think about visiting New Zealand her are 3 things you could do while you are here:

-You could go to the Shy tower and have dinner or high tea.

-You could go to snow Planet or Rainbow end.

-Last but not least you could go to Te Papa.

If you were a tourist thinking about going on holiday would you consider coming to New Zealand?

My bashful Beast

My Beast

For my holiday work we were told to describe our imaginary monster/beast.

My beast has got firey red eyes with big black pupils.  He has an afro as big as the hills.

His teeth are jagged and would leave holes as deep as valleys.  The fur that covers his body is dark brown and is as thick as vines all tangled together.

His nostrils are like 2 big fat watermelons so that his huge chunky fingers can fit up there.    My monsters name is Drillson, he likes to eat human gummies and drink strawberry milk.

Fashion Ferns

Fashion Ferns 

This holiday we are given some homework,
this holiday for this post I am doing it on 3 teams that have Fern in there name and then we had to pick there uniforms and pick my favourite and why.

Black Ferns

Silver Ferns

Tall Ferns

My favourite uniform is the Silver Ferns because it is very similar to a dress that you would wear out, I am not really a dress person but netball dresses I would wear. (even though I do wear them on Saturdays.)
One of my favourite colours is black so it is perfect for me.
This uniforms Fern is a lot bigger and better only because it hangs from the bottom rather then the middle so it is different to your typical Fern.

SAVE the freshwater seals!

Help save the freshwater seals.
The freshwater seals are dying  soon we are going to lose the freshwater seals.
There are only 360 left, the seals require snowbanks if seals give birth to there pups on the ice there babies could die of the cold or get eaten by predators.

The world wildlife fund is trying to save the freshwater seals but they can' t do it without your help.
So far the world wildlife fund group have created some snow banks to help the animals give birth in them and to snuggle up in them.
This is just a temporary solution we need your help for a permanent solution.
There hasn' t been mentions on there success a the moment.

Do you have a solution?

 

This footprint has got ways to be positive online to others.

It also has things about how to be smart and responsible while using technology.

Crushing it with Christchurch

I am hear to talk to you about my home town which is Christchurch, and all of its beauty.

The Gondola
If you have never been to the Gondola listen to this the Gondola is a giant compartment that has seats on each side.  You sit in the the compartment and then you get lifted up on a big cable all the way to the top at the top there is a gift shop.  Along with the gift shop there is something where you can hop in a moving cart and watch a video on the history of Canterbury.



The Tram
Riding on the Tram is like riding in a big open bus, (but way more fun.)
For the tram you either hand over money or get a tram pass.
When you are on the Tram you go on a trip around the town or you can get off at your destination.



New Brighton
beach/pier
At the Pier you can walk across or you can stand on the beach near the Piers pillars.
New Brighton has the history, where Duke Kahanamoku came and surfed down in New Brighton even though New Brighton wasn' t your typical surfing spot. K




Mrs Higgins
Mrs Higgins is a place where you buy cookies but not just any cookies yummy cookies in all shapes and flavors.
When you visit town checkout Mrs Higgins.


What is your favourite part of your home town?
