 We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my bird branch and background. Have you ever had a go at this?( if not then try). bye.

Algebra DLO

Toothpicks

My stop animation.

Today we learned how to get our animations to go continuously on our blog. You have to go into HTML and change all the words that say false into true and where it says 3000 you can change it to another number depending on how fast you want it to go. \

ScreenCastify of my learning

WALT to create a ScreenCastify of mearning I am proud of. I have shared a slideshow about Germany. It was hard to speak and change the slides while I recorded. It was much quicker and easier to embed it to my blog.

Without bee

Without bees?  Bee video The Death Of Bees Explained

We are learning to understand the importance of bees in nature through learning
about pollination and interdependence.  We are learning to take key information
from an information report and write it in our own words. 

Have a heading.

Have a minimum of four sentences.

Explain how bees pollinate.

Tel us why this is important.

Be aimed for Miss Ireland’s class so they can understand this text.

To be written in my own words.

To use an additional photo or diagram if wanted.

WITHOUT BEES.

Without bees I do not know how we could possibly live for long.  Bees pollinate
1 THIRD of our food. We would not have pizza or at least tomato based pizza
because bees have to pollinate the tomato plant so it will not die. This is the same
with other plants or trees as well. 

Vegetable plants and any other plants that get pollinated by bees would die without
bees. Soon trees would die! After that we would be next on the line because trees
produce oxygen. Without oxygen we would all die. Sea life would die as well and
Earth would become uninhabited.

COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER.

Bees are rapidly dying out and this is known as colony collapse disorder. 
In 1988, 5 MILLION hives were in action but in 2015 we only had 2.5
MILLION hives that were active. The domestic honeybees have lost as
many as one-third of their hives. The domestic honey bees wild cousins
are virtually extinct in many places around Earth. Some species, such as
the rusty patched bumblebee, are even listed as endangered species.
Populations of bumblebees and other solitary bees have steeply declined
in many places, largely because of insecticide and herbicide use, habitat loss,
and Global warming. Bees are also being killed by 1080 Killed By 1080 ( BEES) . 
This is some reasons why bees are declining, and what the world would be like
without them.

Bee a BEE lover.

3rd of April in the morning Room 1 and Room 8 + R1, R8, teachers, teacher aids and
parent supervisors all went down to Watson's Creek by the Tasman Sea to do a beach
cook out ( note this is part of the William Pike challenge). In my group were Jennae
(group leader), Korban, Ethan, and me, David. Our parent supervisor was Angus Taylor.

We cooked Nachos. We each had a budget of $5 each and I was responsible for pan,
tongs, oil, butter ( the butter was for dessert which was pancakes).  The Nachos were
great! We had mince, cheese, sweet and sour sauce , and doritos. When dicing the
mince I dropped some precious Nacho mince over the pan and into the fire!

We made our own camp fire using tinder, kindling, and fire wood. I can definitely
say that it was awesome. I enjoyed eating the most but the rest was great too.

Marae stay 2019

W.P.C.A.  5 of March 2019

WE are welcomed by the sound of peaceful Kaikaranga and Miss Ireland answered back. When we got in to the Marae we sang a waiata and a man named David gave a gift to the people in the Marae.

After we went through the powhiri  we had to hongi the elders of the Marae. We sat down on the floor and they went through the rules.

At morning tea a table was filled with pies and savouries and red velvet cake. My table was the first to go up and we were allowed to take four things at a time. Firstly I took two sausage rolls, one pie and a piece of red velvet cake. I did not stay the night but I came back the next day to do a walk.

A day later we went for a walk to Lake Mahinapua. We walked to a spot were there was a BIG fight between the Māori tribes. Apparently some great chief of a tribe drowned there.  When we got back to the car park we started the not so short drive back to school.

Slow down when driving!!!!!!!!
