Art colouring Book Activity

 I found it hard to get the small little spaces but then I figured out how to use the zooming tool.

I found it easy to make it symmetrical with matching colours and patterns.

Next time i would think of different patterns and colours.

I choose it because it was big had lots of detail and looked like a challenge.

Thank You Letter For Camp

 40 Campion rd 

Gisborne

Dear Jason 

I am writing to you to say thank you for  looking after me at camp.I liked how you made sure I was fine after every activity. So thank you for looking after me at camp.

One of the highlights was the rock climbing wall. It was really fun. The reason i liked that was because when i climbed up you  brought me down really really fast and that was really cool. Also you looked after me at the start of camp when i wasn't feeling like going on the big trip to tui ridge in rotorua.

So thank you for coming to tui ridge and looking after me as well as making sure everyone else was fine. So  thanks for looking after me at camp. I really appreciated it!

Sincerely 

Elena

Weta research

 The weta is a very interesting species. They waugh up to 70 grams which is like 3 small mice. The weta can not harm, they have no venom and only the fully grown adult weta can draw blood. The weta was named god of ugly things.

The weta have slime scales also known as the back of the wetas body.Two of the legs are attached to  the  tummy of the weta. They have two beady eyes to help them see at night. They are nocturnal and have ears on their knees.they also have no sense of smell they use their antennae.

The weta live on the north of new zealand some can be found in tall kauri forests.They can also be found in little holes in the ground.

The weta have something called counter shading which means the insect or animal are darker on the top of their body and lighter on the bottom. This helps with camouflage and hiding from predators. They mult 10 times in 18 months. After they have multed they eat the skin I know right its gross!!

Is Climate Change Actually Bad For The Planet?

We were learning to write a persuasive text. The topic that i chose climate change because it is a very serious matter.  i found it very interesting as well. i found it easy to think of the introduction but the rest of the speech took a little bit of time. i found it hard to think of my second argument.

 Is climate change actually bad for the planet?

Is Climate change actually bad for the environment? Yes, Climate change is very bad for the environment. It is without a doubt that climate change is bad for the environment because it is heating up the earth, melting glaciers, rising sea levels.

Firstly, climate change doesn't just have an 

impact on the animals has a huge impact on us as humans. The weather can become very hot and trees can catch fire like how it did in australia. It destroys the environment by heating up the earth and making huge fires. The way to stop this is to stop using too many fossil fuels because it is basically heating up the earth.as if you had a fire under a pot.

The weather can become very hot and trees can catch fire. the sea level will rise when the glaciers melt and that will flood the city's. The glaciers will melt and that will slowly take away the polar bears and penguins habitat. 

The sea level rises about 0.13 milameters every year.

That means in about 70 years it will have been raised by 0.18-0.59 milameteres. The sea level will someday flood the earth.

Fossil fuels is the thing that is causing all these problems fossil fuels run cars and factories and many more. The United states of america use coal,oil and natrual gases for 81% total energy.

Also coal alone provides most of the electricity. 

In conclusion I believe that climate change should be stopped so that the sea levels don't rise and the glaciers don’t melt and also so the earth does not heat up. So do the earth a favour and stop using fossil fuels.

Tigers

 

Tigers 

The malayan tiger is born blind. After 2 weeks of being blind it gains eyesight.The scientific name for the malayan tiger is panthera tigris jacksoni.tigers are part of the feline family. Cheetahs panthera umas lynx jaguars and lions are also part of the feline family.

The malyan  tiger has black and orange stripes. Their skin is also black and orange. Tigers only have 30 teeth which is 12 less than most dogs. Tigers teeth are 3 inches long. They also have sharp claws to grip onto their prey 

The malayan tigers have limited habitat. They live along the south tip of thai land. They are also found in the malay peninsula. The south tip of thai land is a very hot place during march,april,may and june.

A single punch from a tiger could injure you or even kill you. The malayan tiger is not that fast so they rely on stealth to get a meal. Some tigers stalk their prey for minutes, hours and sometimes even days.

Personally i think that we have to try harder because if we keep this up (poaching tigers and selling the pelt illegally for lots of money) all the malayan tigers and all tigers all around the world could go extinct.

READ

Practice reading the information below out loud - you might need to read this with
someone who can help you explain the meaning of some of the words

• In 1831 a petition signed by 13 northern Māori chiefs was sent to King William IV of Great Britain. 
• They were worried about other countries taking over New Zealand and also requested protection
• from lawless British subjects.
• On this day in 1833, James Busby arrived from Britain as the first ‘British Resident’. 
• He was asked to protect British settlers and traders, and prevent injustices and crimes against
• Māori, but he was not given any authority, money or troops
•  He was to be a kaiwhakarite – a mediator between the different races (Māori, Pākeha) 
• in Aotearoa.
• Soon after James Busby arrived, he decided that NZ needed a flag. Trading ships from NZ were getting seized by customs in Australia because they weren’t sailing under a recognised flag
• James Busby invited 25 rangatira and their followers to his residence in Waitangi to choose a flag. This became known as the United Tribes flag.

• He Whakaputanga- The  Declaration of Independence was signed in the home of James Busby on 28th October 1835. He co-authored this with missionaries Henry Williams and William Colenso.  This was a statement for chiefs to sign in which they declared themselves rulers of Aotearoa New Zealand.
