My Composition

 This is the real Composition artwork

the real Mohammed Melehi.

This is my piece of artwork that I made 

trying to model the real Composition.

Today I was learning what it would be like if I signed up for the Summer Learning Program. It seems fun like it will be lods of fun. Here is a link to find out more about the artist and there art. If you want to make your own piece of artwork click here.

I found it hard to download my artwork and put it onto my blog because we needed to take screenshots. Trying to model it because we needed to keep on clicking on the button to see the real panting. 

Next time I would change some of my colors because I think the could be more brighter to make my art pop. 

I enjoyed making my art look good and changing it to be a bit different than the real art.

Thank You Letter

Gisborne

Dear Ray,

I am writing to you today to say thank you for driving me and my friends safely to Tui Ridge, Paradise valley, the Loog and back to Gisborne. It was an amazing drive, I loved the view. You drive perfectly I didn't even throw up. I loved watching the movies.

On Camp my favorite parts on camp were the flying fox, I went zooming down like I was flying! I also enjoyed going down the loog, it was my first time going down the loog so it was kind of scary. I loved going to camp.

Thank you for coming on camp and driving me and my friends safely to places. I hope you had fun at camp and enjoyed yourself. Thank you very much for the lollipops you gave us all. I loved the strawberry flavor, it tasted so yum.

Thank you again,

Rosie.

Term 4' s R.E Value

Today I was learning about St Mary's Term 4 value.

Next time I would change where a lot of things are because I think it looks a bit squished.

I enjoyed learning about Term 4's value so I can show it around the school.

Rugby League

We did rugby league and it was so fun. Turanga Health teachers Luke and Riched, come in to our school and teach us to play rugby league. It's fun to be active, it is fun to be outside. It helps us keep healthy.

We start with warm ups and a fun game like Capture The Flag. Then get into the game. We are learning how to side step people. It will help us in games like rugby and some other sports. We are also learning how to pass to people which will help us in other sports.

Is Farming Really Bad For The Environment.

Have you ever wondered about farming and does it help the environment? I strongly believe that we can do better to help the world and also farm carefully. Farms help provide food for people in many different ways so they really help the world as well, but they do pollute the rivers with all the animal waste being washed down into the rivers by the rain. We should be able to think of a better way of farming and helping the environment. 

Firstly, I strongly believe that farms are a great way to provide food, you can get fruit, meat and veggies. You could live mostly off a farm and you would save a lot of money. I would think that all the fruit you get is from an orchard with oranges and apples. If you sit down at the table with a delicious piece of steak in front of you it probably would have come from a farm. So farms can produce huge amounts of food.

Secondly, I absolutely know the rain water washes the farm waste down into the river. So it is hurting the environment. Which a lot of people do not like so they are not so sure on this farming idea. I believe that we can change this and we can make a change by planting plants. It helps the environment if we plant trees next to rivers, they filter the animal waste. 

Lasty I personally know that the waste from farms gets washed down into the river by the rain water. It is not very good for the environment. Without a doubt I like farming, so I personally think there is and will be a way to fix that problem. Maybe we can plant trees next to the river? That will help!

In conclusion, you can all see that farms help people to get food but the waste is getting washed into the rivers, we can help the problem by planting trees on the river bed. There is no question that we can still farm but we just need to think of a better way to help the environment.

I was learning how to use emotive language and a rhetorical question.

I found it difficult to use my emotive language because I could not find places to put emotive language.

Next time I would use a better hook and to use more repetition because it will help my speech.

I enjoyed writing my speech because it was my fist time writing a speech in St Mary's School.

Giraffes

 Giraffes

Giraffes are the tallest living land mammal. They are like the cow family. All Giraffes have their own unique pattons. Female Giraffes are called cows, the male is called a Bull and of course a baby is called a carf. They only eat plants, no meat so they are herbivores.

Giraffes are 14-19 feet tall about the size of 3 humans. They have 7 bones in their neck, the same number of bones in a human's neck. Their necks are 6 feet tall. A cow can weigh up to 1180kgs. The Bull can weigh up to 2000kgs that's a lot. Their tongues are 46cm long about the length of a child’s arm. 

Giraffes live in the dry Savannas of Africa. They travel in groups of 15 which are called Towers. They travel over the plain woodlands in towers. Sometimes you see them in two’s that can be a baby and a mother. It may be a pair of friends.

A baby can grow 1 inch per day for a week. Giraffes can live up to 25 years old. They eat 45kgs of food a day and spend 16-20 hours a day eating. They walk 30 mins and only need 5 minutes a day of sleep.

I think that Giraffes are beautiful tall animals. That deserves to live happily and that should not be hunted. They need to be protected and live freely like they want to.

Weta

Weta

Classification

Weta are the biggest insects in New Zealand. There are over 70 types of Weta but they are nearly extinct! They look quite like a cricket with there big massive back legs. They can jump very high with there legs. 

Description

They Giant Weta can weight up to 70g, a small rat. They are very camouflage, they have no nose and 4 ears two o each front leg. They can be different colors, the Cave Weta is red and black. Wow, they can grow up to 100mm long, that's pretty long for a bug.

Habitat

There are a lot of different types of Weta, so they all like to live in different habitats. The Cave Weta lives in caves. Tree Weta live on trees, so they do not come on the ground much at all. There eggs need to hatch in a most places. 

Dynamics

This is crazy but the Tusked Weta can stay under water to hide for 10 minutes. The Weta can lay up to 300 eggs in it's life. They do big poos which helps the environment. they are very camouflage and can hide very well. It would be hard to play hide and seek with them.
