Orana Park ADVENTURE!

Kamusta readers,

This exciting week we had done a lot of stuff like moving in on our new kahui classroom, but in this blog post I will tell you about what we did on Monday this week. On Monday we waited inside the learning commons for the bus to arrive at school ready to zoom in at Orana Park. After an hour, our bus to Orana Wildlife Park finally arrived, we rushed straight to bus excited to see the animals. When we arrived at Orana Park we first had to listen to what the orana park staff had to say, she told us how we can be safe, like not reaching your hands towards the animals in cages. After we listened to all she had to say we walked through the gate and we walked pass the little, cute meerkats. While we were walking around orana park we saw a lot of animals on the field like antelopes and Tasmanian devil, they were amazing but I didn't take any photos of them because I was waiting for a certain animal. We kept walking until we ended up where the lions cages are they were very scary but they roared like elephants. We walked and walked until we reached the kiwi house, we went inside the kiwi house and it was extremely dark because kiwi's are nocturnal animal, they were eating peacefully until we came in and made some noise one of them hid their selves in the bushes while the other one was still eating, we got to its nice long beak. AND finally the most excited animal I was waiting for was the gorillas! They were big and muscular they looked very tough there were three gorrilas one of them was the boss his name is Futaki and the other two are Mahali and Fuzu and these are animals that I only took a photo.

WOOODD TECHHH!

Kia Ora readers,

In this blog post I will tell you about the things that I've made on our Wood Tech because this week will be the last day we will do our wood technology. The first thing I made was a car it took along time to make it because we had to shape our wood by using a saw which was really hard the second thing I did was a face on a stand this one was easy because the only thing I did was draw on a wood and made a shape of a head. Finally the third one that I have done was a pencil holder this one was easy to because all I needed was a fat wood and put holes in it with a drill. 

That's all thank you for reading!! I don't have any pictures because I took them home

KAMUSTA Readers,

In this blog post I will tell you about the readers theatre and what play my team and I have done.

AUTHOR IN HORNBY!

Kia Ora readers,

Today in period 1 we had to walk from our class to the auditorium. We were meeting an author here in New Zealand the author was a girl her name is Ella West, Ella West has published 6 books in total. In the auditorium she told us about her books, and what book was the highest selling book that she had made. Her highest selling book was her book "Night Vision" which was published in 2014 and she also told us that this book was translated in Italian language. The Night Vision book was about murder and a little kid that had a genetic problem, she was not allowed to be exposed in the sunlight. After she told us information about her book we were to ask questions about her. After we finished asking some questions we walked back to our class.

DIGITAL TECH HURUMANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Kamusta readers today I will talk to you about my Digital Tech Hurumanu this is the first blog post about digital tech hurumanu, and so I will tell you all the things we've done so far.

In Digital Tech we started of learning what the Environmental, Ethical and Social problems first we watched a video about Social, Environment and Ethical videos after that we were given 3 pieces of paper and the people in my group were Joshua, Alex, Tevita and Hamid. With our 3 pieces of paper we had to write Environment on one paper and Ethical on the other and social on the other one. On those papers we had to write ideas of what might be the issues of each one of them.

Finally the second activity we did was to pick one of the 3 topics I chose Environment. I had to research one of the issue in the environment and I picked Climate Change. I had to research different websites to get information about climate change but I couldn't do that much work because I had ESOL and one time I had an Ipad which was really hard to use so I couldn't get onto google and search some websites.

But some of the issues I learnt about Climate Change is that some of the ice are melting and the sea level is rising and some people that lives near the sea will get washed off so they had to evacuate. I also found out that one of the forest in Brazil The Amazon was burning because it is hot.
