SPCA

 SPCA.

The SPCA is a place for pets when they are injured, sick neglected, abandoned and abused 

so they have to give them to the SPCA. An SPCA is a bit like a vet but they do much more stuff to help

pets. The SPCA doesn't just do pets they can do other things like birds. 

SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.


 Imagine that you were invited to join Nainoa for three weeks at sea. You are asked to pack your own food. List 10 food items that you could take on the trip. Remember you will not have a fridge or freezer!

marmalade,

water,

steak,

bread,

apples,

bananas,

plums,

coconuts,

potatoes

lettuces

Movies.

 Movies.

Movies have been around for a very long time, the first Movie ever made was made in 1888. It was Round Hay Garden Scene. When I grow up I might make movies and cartoons. There are a lot of types of movies: musicals, cartoon movies, violent movies, (not for kids) monster movies, animal movies, human movies, non-fiction movies and fiction movies. My favourite movie is called Star Wars and my favourite musical is The Greatest Showman.

What Happens If You Read To Much?

 What Happens If You Read To Much?

Do you ever wonder what happens when you read too much? We are about to find out. you should read a book for 30 minutes a day but why should we, you might think well if you read the whole day none stop you could forget very important stuff like maths and other stuff. I am not saying you should never read I am just saying that you can't read for so long. the first ever book made was called The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Fun fact. Did you know that you can get a headache just by reading for a long time?

Food

  Food.

Food can be tasty, some food is gross. 🤮 Some food you can be allergic to. I am writing about food because I love food so much. My favourite food is tacos. Tacos are a type of food you can put lettuce meat, vegetables and other stuff in it. A taco is like a burrito or a rap. Fun fact, water is more important than food. People can survive with no food for 30-40 days just drinking water. Sometimes when you read or write about food you get hungry.

UFO's.

 UFO's. 

UFO's are one of the most wrest sights to see. before I tell you fact's I just need to tell you that 
UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. once I went to bed and I saw moving thing's going in slow motion at there were 50 of them and they were going up at first I thought they were shooting stars. but then I thought they were to slow to be stars, they must be UFO's I thought. 
Any way back to the facts. UFO's have been around for a long time. Once kids at a school saw
one and screamed and ran to the teacher the teacher told them to draw what they saw in every drawing there was lights all the drawings also looked like a UFO the UFO had been hidden behind two tree's. UFO's are a type of space craft for aliens so if you come to think of it aliens are real. Some people tell story's and movie's about UFO's. Most UFO's look different to others. People believe that lot's of UFO's will come to earth and then the world will end. Some people believe that UFO's are real and some don't. 

Fish.

Fish.

Fish can be found all over the world. You may like to eat fish, admire them at zoo’s, do some fishing, or even keep them for pets. Fish can be plant eaters, meat eaters or both meat and plant eaters.Many fish can taste without opening their mouth. Fish can come in different shapes and sizes the smallest is paedocypris and the biggest is a whale shark. Sea horse’s don’t have teeth so they have to suck in their food holes. They need very small food because they are very small. The male seahorse gives birth to the babies not the female. There are over 30000 known species of fish. The smallest shark is the lantern shark. At night fish don’t sleep, fish can rest though. At night they hunt for food.Fish don’t go up for air instead they have gill’s so they breve under water. If you touch a fish’s gills it may die. Many fish can see in the dark better than cats. Tuna can swim at speeds of up to 70 kph (43 mph). The smallest whale is the dwarf sperm whale. My favourite fish is the lantern fish. There are 4 ocean zones, the sunlight zone, twilight zone, midnight zone and the abyssal zone. The first fish ever discovered was the pikaia. Shark’s do not have bones.Here are the types of sharks I know. Hammerhead shark, basking shark, sawshark, Thresher Shark, carpet shark, nurse shark, goblin shark, blue shark, bull shark, great white shark, mako shark, tiger shark, mega mouth shark, greenland shark, whale shark, pygmy shark, dwarf shark, and the sand shark.There are 4.3 million squid in the world. And 44 species of dolphins. Baby fish are called fry. A fish surrounds itself by it’s snot to protect itself? Some flatfish camouflage to hide themself on the ocean floor. Goldfish can’t close their eyes as they have no eyelids. One puffer fish contains enough poison to kill 30 people. Starfish are able to grow a new arm if you cut one off. My favorite fact is that when Anglerfish mate, they melt into each other and share their bodies forever.I would not mess with the box jellyfish, they are the deadliest jellyfish in history and The most dangerous fish to eat is fugu. If I was you I would not race a sailfish they may not be the fastest animal on earth, but they are the fastest fish in the world. and The last fact is The first fish to walk on land was the tiktaalik.

Push Up Challenge

Push Up Challenge

 Facebook there is a push-up challenge. I got the idea of doing it from mum because mum started doing it and I wanted to join in.
You don't win any thing, it's just so you have something to do.
All you need to do is do a video of you doing push ups and post it on Facebook. Lotte and Johanna aren't doing it, so they do the videoing. In the Groot family the people who are doing the challenge are Dad, Mum and Me.

very tiny origami bunny.

Today I made this very small origami rabbit. I believe I broke a record because it is possibly the smallest origami rabbit that has ever been made.. The one I'm pointing at is the one you think it's a crumb but it's a rabbit.

Climate change


What is climate change? It’s the warmth and coldness.


How are rising water levels affecting ice packs, sea levels,  Antarctic etc? According to oddizzi.com as the temperature rises, our ice caps are at risk. The two polar caps are shrinking and huge amounts of ice fall into the sea. Sea levels are rising and people are at risk of their countries being flooded.  Melting glaciers could cause a shortage in drinking water.


How will rising sea levels affect New Zealand and countries around the world? People by the sea might lose their houses;  as the ocean could wash the houses away. 


 What are Greenhouse Gases?  Greenhouse Gases are gases that make the world warm, it's like a blanket. Without Greenhouse Gases the Earth's temperature would average negative 18 degrees.


 What can you / we do about it? We need to stop consumerism and over population.

 Pollution - how has the Coronavirus affected pollution? Since we have not done much shopping and travelling pollution levels have gone lower. In India you can now see the Himalayas.

Morepork.


On the 2nd of May we played spotlight. When we were going to start a round we heard a noise. It was a Morepork, the Maori name is a ruru. I did not know what type of owl it was so I said “hey it’s an owl”. Mum said "It’s actually a Morepork, can't you hear the sound". So we took a photo before it flew off. I thought that I was very lucky to see Morepork.



 This is a picture of the morepork I saw.

Lockdown

What it’s like for me in lockdown.

I'm hating lockdown because I don't get to be with my friends but I have had fun and I have done lots of baking. I really want to leave the lockdown in a few weeks because I want to see my friend Charles. It’s a bit frustrating having to do school at home but I have got used to it. I have never been in lockdown before. I don’t know when we will go back to school but I think we will go back when we go to level 2. It’s a bit annoying not being able to get out of my house. I feel like it’s the holidays but doing work. Good thing my dog is able to keep fit and healthy. I have been outside getting fit but most of the time i'm doing my work.
