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.

I am sure we've all heard about climate change but how is it affecting our planet





What is climate change. Well Climate change is the process of our planet heating


up. Earth has only





heated up by 1.c in the last century. But they call the amazon forest the lungs of the planet because %20





of the earth's oxygen comes from the amazon rainforest.


What causes climate





change? Burning fossil fuels. Over the past 150 years. Industrial countries have been burning fossil fuels





such as … oil,diesel cole,gas,petrol.


Also the sea levels have been rising because


the Glaciers are





melting the reason they are melting is climate change and climate change made the temperature of





the earth go up by 1.c


in a century. There will be more floods and sea life can't live in warm water


So in conclusion i





believe you should stop using fossil fuels. and my three main points are Glaciers melting and flooding low





ground houses . The animals are dying and if continue doing this the whole Amazon





rainforest could burn down and that would be %20 of the earth's oxygen completely gone

Winter

Today I was learning write descriptively.

I enjoyed brainstorming adjectives, juicy verbs, and specific nouns.

I found it challenging to use a simile and personification.

My digital learning object shows an image of winter.

Next time I would add similes.

Frosty freezing branches waved through the wind. Stiff
icy grass cracked as people walked pass. Grey cloudy sky groaned in the wind.

Fizz,Foam and Froth

We are learning how to make things fizz,foam and froth.
I enjoyed doing the experiment because I love doing them I liked learning how to make things fizz, foam and froth.
I found it challenging to write about it.

Fizz, foam and froth

Have you ever wondered what makes fizz foam and froth? A physical change is when say there is water and you freeze it.I t will turn into ice. But you can change it back to water. A chemical change is irreversible. The first thing you need to do is to label the cups then pour in baking soda then add white vinegar. Leave it there for an hour. Then it should start to fizz foam and froth. It fizzes, foams and froths because of the baking soda and white vinegar. That is a chemical change.
