Today for the summer learning challenge and we had to do a few tasks and screenshot them and put on your blog about what you think these men were saying because we had to watch a short clip.

Frontline cop cars

 



Today in our quiz we got to pick a topic and  I picked the frontline cop car and they sell them off after 6 or 7 years or 120,000 kms and as I said they are going on the roads in April next year to be a proper cop car and it will give them time to put the stickers on.

save the sea and our sea creatures

For the last few weeks, the class has been learning about graffiti and street art and I found some of the questions hard to understand this was my last task to make a piece of artwork that tells us something behind it and mine is about to save the sea and the animals every day many of our sea life are dying because of plastic.

Banksy

 Banksy is a graffiti artist and no one knows who he is and he is a famous artist and he calls himself Banksy when he turned 18 he went and painted a train with his mates down near the train station he started drawing flowers in vases and rats and other animals bits and now he draws a woman on a wall and it's pretty amazing how much work you put in the art the more it gets realistic and more people to admire it and want to do and make art but Banksy started off with graffiti  and now others like his art it sells for a bit of money because no one knows his personal identity it is hidden and you might have seen Banksy but you thought it was some random and did not care so him keepping his identity make others think like me is he old is he young when did he start his art and lots more we don't know because it is hidden from the public and I think it was a good choice to kepp it a secret but he should have asked to paint in some of the places he did was illigal and should of never done some places if he was found he could of been sent away to a place called jail. I don't think Banksy should let anyone know his identity because that might of been famous because no one knows and you should not be arrested for graffiti because others might like it. 






Street Art Or Graffiti

 

For T-shaped Literacy we have tasked to do and this is my second task and it was hard to find the difference between graffiti and street art it could be close to street art and graffiti would be more inapposite for young viewers and I found some of it hard to describe the difference.

Painting in the town/ Street art

 


Painting in the town we had to tell a sentence for every sentence and it had to make sense all of the art has a meaning and it is true it makes the town better and BTB and better than plain gray walls and it makes the town bight and beautiful and awesome and better and let the town think I wonder what the story is behind that and it is makes people think. 
This art is amazing and it makes me think what is the story behind this art I wish I could make art like this one day and it might have a story and you will have to believe in yourself to be what you want to be you can not be down and not believe if you want to do it try and try until you make it and I will.

CORAL REEFS DYING

 

Today we had to do a weekly quiz in our house groups and my house was green and after we had to research about the coral reefs dying and as you could see look at what we do to the sea without noticing and this could be sad for some people to go through dying nature and we do it to the water and when we go in a boat it could leak gas or oils in the water and catching the fish and they are not there to keep it healthy it is just like our bodies we have to eat healthily or we will die and the is the same as the sea. Do keep our sea healthy and save our coral reefs.

How to play bacon

 Bacon can be a game played in schools and with your friends. 

You can play bacon for as long as you want. Steal the bacon you have to have 6 or more players. 

Equipment

6 or more players 

an object for the middle 

and a person counting the scores 

Rules 

you have to have even teams. 

Honesty: where the object was dropped or put down stop when you get tagged AND ENJOY. 

Method 

The ref or teacher will give each side the same number on either side of the court so when your number is called for you to run and get the object. 

When the numbers are called the two people will run/race to get the object in the middle of the court. When someone picks it up then the other person will chase the other person and tag them before they get back to their line and score a point for the team. If you don't make it back and got tagged they go back and wait for the next number to be called. 

At the end of the game, the person counting the scores will tell you who won the game. 

Always be honest where you got tagged and carefully put the object down so you are not cheating the object should NEVER be kicked closer to anyone line 

We had to pick a game or sport to teach someone about it or how to play and I choose to do bacon but this game doesn't tickle my fancy but some other people do.

Lake Ohau fires

How do the fires start?                                                      

                          

The lake Ohau fires started from 

an electric spark from the power lines.

When a lady went to take her dog out to the  toilet the

dog  spotted the fire as it started and warned the

owner before there were and deaths and they evacuated

at 3:00 in the morning.

The network in Waitaki is starting to

get the power lines back up and running

for some people in the village to return

because some houses don't burn.




Why did it spread so far?

The lake Ohau spread so far because

the wind picked up the spark and pushed

through bushes and in a building burning

40 houses and 48 buildings and before the

fire was flaming through houses they got

evacuated from their village and had to go to the closest town.

And it went through 5,040 hectares of land and lake Ohau is

5,400 hectares that were a lot of land lost. An old couple had

Been living in a caravan building a house there and it got wiped

In the fires and a lot of memories and furniture was lots but the best

Thing was no one was injured or was killed.








Who was involved in the fires?

Firefighters and D.O.C were involved in

the fire and the firefighters warned the D.O.C

on how it could be a potential blaze that could

go through Lake Ohau for years until this happened

D.O.C there had been new fire dangers on D.O.C land.

Murray the firefighter that had informed D.O.C for 25 years

And when he retired and fire happened on D.O.C land.








Today we had to research Lake Ohau and the fires that have happened in the school holidays and it was sad for some people to lose there houses and memories of loved ones in the fire and doc had been warned it had a high risk of a fire.

Japan History

 Did you know that Japan is 40% bigger than New Zealand? It has 100 million people living there. Have you heard everyone gossiping about the cherry blossoms in Japan? The cherry blossoms are not the national flower, they are the second national flower. The national is a Chrysanthemum. Japan is a well-known tourist attraction with flowers and one of a kind shopping centers. Everywhere you go is a beautiful view.  


Culture and Tradition  

Early Japanese culture and tradition are influenced by China.  Edo Era Japan was isolated and closed there borders from the rest of the world. The national bird of Tokyo is a green pheasant why? because every country has a national animal, flower, and more. Japan has lots of unique views it will leave you stunned. 


Location/Geography  

Japan is a small island in the pacific ocean off mainland Asia. Tokyo was a small fishing village where they eat lots of fish and sushi. Edo Era during the 16 century Edo was a small castle town which is 1,600 years. Did you know that it's made up of 6,900 islands. Japan is the content of Asia. Japan is surrounded by the sea. 

Sports 

Japan's national sports are sumo wrestling, judo, and karate. Japan plays other counties' sports such as rugby, baseball, and soccer. The Olympics were supposed to be held in Tokyo in 2020 but they were canceled because of COVID19. The sport Japanese love mostly is baseball and the traditional sport is sumo. 

 

History 

They eat lots of imported fish, most sushi is fulled with browned rice and fish. Sometimes in Tokyo on their diet, they eat pork and beef. Did you know that Tokyo is the cleanest city ever it looks brand new? In 1923 an earthquake struck and took half the city down.  Japan was discovered 11 February 660 bc. 


Conclusion 

Well here we are all finished my information text and I hope you have learned a thing or two. 






In the last few weeks, we have been doing an information text about Japan the teacher picked the topic because of the Olympic that was canceled there because of coronavirus. Did you know this year the medals were going to be made out of recycled phones because they were just getting thrown away with silver, gold, and bronze?

water waste

Water Waste- How it is affecting us  


Water is important for the world, it is the main part for us humans.  70% of the world is salt water from the sea. And 5% of its freshwater. 
You find water waste at  a factory all over the world to be changed into freshwater or spring water to be put into bottles and to go to peoples houses through the pipes so they can have a glass of water and a clean shower so you're not showering in somebody else's silver from their teeth.

  In the cycle the water turns to vapor when the sun hits it it makes cloud that's how some freshwater gets to us we rely on water every day if you want water in the world slow down on waiting it and more of using it in cooking you use it when brushing your teeth you need it getting clean is there for us  not their to waste. 

And also in climate change places get no rain and the rivers dry up like auckland they are not getting enough rain so they are low on water not like the west coast we are getting a lot of rain most of the time the water is polluted by cows of road run of its killing out water cycle if you want water to whatever you can to save it like don't leave the tap on while brushing your teeth and dont spend 1 hour in the shower.
So do anything you can to save water or slow down with the waste.

I am showing how to mow
I am adrenaline for hard injections

Should children be allowed to chew gum at school?

SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED TO CHEW GUM AT SCHOOL?

1. I  think children should not be allowed to chew gum at school because it ends up on the carpet or on your shoes.

2. What if someone puts there fingers under the table and catches germs and all there bacteria out of there mouth and your spreads germ to yourself and others.

3.  So if you do find gum and you accidentally touch it wash your hands and don't touch your face.

4. don't chew gum at school because you make the teacher grumpy.







1. Children should be allowed to chew gum at school so they don't  get bored .

2. if children were allowed to chew gum at school they should not share gum and put in the bin.

3. if children were allowed to chew gum they could get it at a  time the teacher says.

4. if you were allowed to chew gum at school the student should have parent permission.
