Orana park.

Hello, Today I'm going to make a new blog post about our tour to Orana Park.

When I got to school in the morning of 23rd of Sep, I went to the new Kahui, There was no one inside, I asked some people if they know where TZ and BH are and they said they are in the learning commons going to Orana park. So I went inside the learning commons, They were waiting for me, my teacher asked me about the form that our parents need to sign, I gave it to her. The bus driver took a long time before it came to school. We had a morning tea early, For waiting the bus.

 We saw the bus coming and we lined up outside. And then go in the bus so we arrived at Orana park,  There was a girl waiting for us. Outside the bus we went down the bus and then listened to the woman's instruction. First she told her name to use and I Forgot it. When we were listening to her instruction there was a duck walking and it looked so cute and messy. We went inside the park, We saw meerkats. We and then walked long to where we can put our bags or the bag area. 

We walked to the other animals in the zoo mostly animals that we went to we're cool, My favorite animals was the lion, We looking at the lions and they were like communicating my each other by roaring. The boys and girls we're separated because if they are in the same cage, The boys might fight for the girl lions. We went to the kiwi house it was dark inside because kiwis are only active at night, We got inside their house and then I saw a kiwi it was so cool, I imagined that I saw a rare animal. 

We went to another place and its called a kea house, The tour guide is asking us a question, The question was how many kiwi and kea is in the world, The answers we're. 68,000 kiwis and 3000 kea, The kea was rarer I imagined that I saw a really rare animal. These birds are smart.

The next place we went to is gorillas and orangutans, They looked so ugly. But they are very smart, we cant look them on the face because they will be so aggressive. Because if you, someone goes into your room what will you feel. This is why we can't look them to the eyes. I forgot their name. The oldest one of them looks like King Kong. 

The next place we went to is to the giraffes, we all formed a big line and then fed them one by one, The giraffe I fed had a very big eye I was surprised that there is an animal had that long neck. It was so cool to feed them because they wrap the food on their tongue. We went back to the bus and then, got back to the school.

Reflection.

Hello, Today I'm going to be making a new blog post about my reflection today at using sphero and scratch. Scratch is a online site and you make games with it, You can play other peoples game. I have played my friends game and it was so fun. I made a game and its about basketball. We make the game by programming it. I programmed it to move and shoot the ball. This is what I did in scratch. 

In sphero, We also programme it like scratch but you don't make a game with it. You play with it, This robot is very fun to use. You control it with its own joystick. It can move fast slow in can move any sides but not jump. If it can jump I would actually but one and play with it the whole day.

I would prefer use sphero because its fun to use it, I can still use scratch but I still would prefer to use sphero.

P.E Hurumanu

Hi,
Readers today I'm going to be making a new bog post about P.E.

Bench ball:
At first we did the warm ups for the bench ball, We did high knees, running weight, spirnts with the whole group.and  high knees. After the warm up we played a game similar to octopus it's called catch granny. So the granny is the bad guy and if we catch her or he you are going to be the granny.

 This game was very fun but exhausting but it's ok. After the drill we played the game the game we played was bench ball, the other group told us the rules and the equipment we need. The rules are no blocking but if they throw the ball you can hit it while in the air.

 In first the year 7 tz's and year 7 bh versed together. We talked about what we are going to do in bench ball. We started. I was the jumper in our team, Ms Simpson threw the ball up and then the other jumper tried to catch it but he jumped late.

 When I got the ball I threw it to my teammate and then throw it forward so the catcher in the bench can catch it. My teammate Jesse threw it to our teammate in the bench and then it missed. The pass was to light.

The other team got the ball they got closer to the people in their bench and then they scored 3 in a row. They won the game, I was disappointed but I thought it was still fun to verse TZ.

Math: In maths we have been learning about adding the perimeter, I though it was hard but when my teacher though it to us it was very easy, You add the length and the weight of a shape, You measure it and then add it all together. I learned how to add perimeter, we use strategies in our group we have been helping each other to answer a question and then we always answer it. The best strategy I learnt was the perimeter.

Volleyball:

In the last few weeks we were practicing to teach people how to play volley ball we have been practicing what we are going to say. This is what we have been doing in the last few weeks.
Last time I think I was really annoying because I was not listening to my group but now. I have been listening to them
the graduate profile point I am working towards is listening to my team. I demonstrated this by listening and not being annoying in my team.

Tane Mahuta.

Hello readers, Today I'm going to be making a new blog post about Tane Mahuta, Today we have been collecting weeds from the soil, we did this to make the plants grow properly and without grass.  This is all what we have been doing in this CIP. We did gym sports, Because this is a part of our CIP.

 In gym sports we have been playing Multi sports this has been very fun. In multisport, the sports are hockey, basketball, netball, football, and touch rugby. We have been spitted in two teams I played hockey for the first, the second sport I played is basketball and we won. The third sport  I played is football. We played all the sports and we lost, I wonder why we lost because we we're taking the lead. But I realise that I was cheering the other team. The score in the end was 10/5 this is all what we did.

Night Vision / Rain fall

Kamusta readers, today I'm going to be making a new blog post about Ella West. Ella West is a great author she had made brilliant books like Night Vision and Rain fall, Today she came to our school, she came from Dunedin to Christchurch. I think the distance from Dunedin to Christchurch is very far. I think we are very lucky because we met her today. She has been sharing her stories with us, Her stories are from other documentaries that she watched in the last 9 years. The documentary is about the people with a sickness called XP. It can give you skin cancer. She showed us picture with kids with the skin cancer, they had made a very interesting thing to stop this. The kids can play in the sun but they need to wear a clear mask, I don't know what it's called. 

The Night Vision is about a kid who has XP, the first thing that happened in the story is a murder, a guy lit the car up and it exploded while this kid with XP is watching in the dark with night vision goggles. She had been scared from the fire but she went to the forest and then she hid from the fire. She also made a Italian version of the Night Vision. She wrote the book carefully by thinking what she was going to write. She had been thinking about the settings, The places the setting are in USA and NZ, I think she combined this two places and then made the stories in this places. The places I have seen is the Real Mexican Food Restaurant. She said that the first book she wrote has been published after 3 years. I was like What?!

We asked questions to her and then she answered some of  it. 

This is what we did when she came to our school.

Math DlO.

Digital tech.

Hello readers today I'm going to be making  a new blog post about what we did in our digital technology. So in digital technology we've been doing a lot of work we have been busy by almost 3 weeks. In our technology we have been doing issues, the issues are the environmental, ethical, and social. I have chosen an environmental issue. This global warming . I have chosen this because the earth is going hotter because of this, The ice in antartica is melting and making the sea level or water level high.

Here are two example:

Who/what does your issue affect?  

It affects the world because of the litter everywhere. The air gets hotter because of the carbon from our breathing and from the cars we exhale carbon dioxide and the cars have carbon monoxide carbon is making the world hot that is why amazon is burning right now.

What did your first source say?

Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They fly off trash piles, garbage trucks, and landfills, and then clog storm water infrastructure, float down waterways, and spoil the landscape. If all goes well, they end up in landfills where they may take 1,000 years or more to break down into ever smaller particles that continue to pollute the soil and water.
This is what we have been doing. Please comment on my blog post bye.
