The Importance of life, Poem

 The Importance of Life, Poem!

Life is short,

We shall all support,   

All lives matter,

Racism should shatter,

We all Struggle,

Like we’re in a bubble,

But from there,

We still share,

We care for the poor,

They really mean more,

Nature is wonderful,

Beautiful and colourful,

There's no need to hate,

It’s a really bad trait,

We shouldn't judge others,

We’re all sisters and brothers,

We are all different sizes, colours and cultures but we’re all the same, so hold your head up high and don't feel shame,

Live life to express,

Not to impress,

Forget the rest,

and be your best.

All About Covid-19

All About Covid-19

What is Coronavirus?

The coronavirus pandemic is a disease that causes illness.
It all started in Wuhan, China on the 31st of December, 2019.
It started in China because Chinese people would eat bats
& they didn't know that the bats had the virus. They call it
coronavirus because it looks like lots of little crowns through a
microscope, but its real name is covid-19. The government has
cancelled all flights to New Zealand.

How Does Coronavirus Affect the Human Body?

The virus can affect people’s breathing and lungs. How it works
is the virus gets inside our cells and takes over them. Firstly, it
affects your throat cells, airway and lungs turning them into
coronavirus factories. It then discharges huge amounts of new
viruses that affect even more body cells.

How does coronavirus spread?

It spreads from person to person by coughing & sneezing, also
if you touched someone who has the virus. It can also spread
when a person touches an object that has the virus on it, then
touches their eyes, nose or mouth.

What are the symptoms of having the coronavirus?

People may be sick for one too 14 days before developing
symptoms. Most common symptoms of this virus include;
coughing, difficult issues with breathing or fever. Older people
with medical conditions may be more exposed to becoming
severely.

How to protect yourself

The best way you can protect yourself is by washing your hands
frequently. It is important to avoid touching your face and close
contacts (2 metres) with people who are ill. It is recommended
to wear a face mask and avoid large events or mass gatherings.
You should also cover your mouth and nose with your elbow
and a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

Statistics

As of right now, March 25 2020, 
there have been 422,913
positive cases worldwide. 109,143
people have recovered
from this virus, however, there have
sadly been 18,905 deaths.

My Summer Holidays

This is my summer holidays, this explains the things I did in the holidays. I hope you enjoy reading this.

Chocolate Recount

🍫Chocolate Making🍫

It was a lovely day to make chocolate!!!

On Friday November 22nd our class made chocolate. First, we had to get in
groups of 4 or 5 people. I was with, Stella, Meron, Julianna and Galila. Once we got
into groups we went and sat at a table. While the jug was boiling, we got to choose
which chocolate flavour would we like. There was white chocolate, milk chocolate
and dark chocolate. My group chose white chocolate to melt. First, we got a pot
filled with boiling water and then placed a plate on top. After that, we place our
white chocolate on the plate and slowly mixed it with a spoon until it melted into a
liquid. Once it formed into a liquid we then received a Moulding tray. Then we
pour in the melted chocolate into the mould tray.We were also allowed to swap
with groups to get other flavours in our moulds.
After moulding all of them, Miss Paton took the mould trays to the staff room fridge
to let them cool down for a couple of hours. We wrapped them up in foil once
they were hard. We put them in a zip lock bag. In two weeks time we will take the
chocolates home and give them as a Christmas gift.

My Holiday Recount

My Time at Kura

On July the 4th it was my big brothers 21st birthday. We went to a Japanese Restaurant called Kura. I really enjoyed the food. The type of foods that were there was Fired chicken, Fried dumplings, Sushi, Seagrapes, rice, Deep-fried veggies, Cooked/raw salmon and many more. for dessert, I had Ice cream, chocolate drizzle and cornflakes. I loved it. I ordered this one because it sounded yum. I also had strawberry mochi. There was this other dessert that was Japenese tradition like coconut banana and some other type of Liquid but I didn’t know what it was. The drinks I had was orange juice and water.

Before we started eating and sat down we had to take our shoes off, It was a tradition. We were sitting near a big rock wall. On the wall, there was an enormous dress hanging on the wall. At first glance, I was like WOW. I asked my sister why is that There, she said it was the great Giant king of japan’s dress. She said his name was Kura and that’s why this restaurant is named Kura. But after all she was lying, I actually thought that she was telling the truth. But I don’t know why the dress was there. There were other rock walls with other dresses on it but they were all different.

After dessert, we kind of had a second round of dessert, and that was the cake, the cake was tall, I would say it was about 50 cm tall. My mum brought it with her when we came. My brother was so happy and grateful he said thank you to my mum. Before we ate the cake we sang happy birthday and he blew his candles and make a wish we clapped 21 times and 1 lucky clap. Then we started eating the cake. The cake was chocolate with light chocolate cream and strawberry drizzle. It was Delicious. 

After eating and having a great time we left home. My house was a bit full of family. It was time to give gifts. I gave him his favourite candy and a card. My sister got him a huffer shirt and a card, the shirt was really expensive. My other brother gave him chalone and a card. Lastly, my mum gave him $200 and a huge card with her note in it and all of our signature’s. My big brother was really happy. This really was a fun day to remember.

My Lions Report

Lion’s Report

Something very special is that a lion's roar can go up to 8 miles away.
Lion’s can live up to 25 years in captivity. Did you know that lions are one of
the biggest family orientated animals!

Diet

Lion’s eat a lot of things of animals such as antelope, buffaloes, zebras,
elephants, rhinos, hippos, wild hogs, giraffe, crocodiles and tortoise.
They also eat small creatures like mice, rats and birds.

Habitat

Lions live in savannahs and grasslands. They can be found on the western side
of India and also in Africa. They are now only found in the South Sahara
Desert and in parts of Southern and Eastern Africa. Historically lions were
found in Greece through the Middle East to Northern India.

Appearance

Some lions appear to have no manes at all. Lions have tawney or
yellowish brownish fur. Lions have golden fur because they are
camouflage and they want to be blend in with the grass.  
Male lions are larger than female lions.

Endangerment

Lions are under threat of being endangered.

Who is killing the Lions? Group hunting, known in Maasai as Olamaie,
gives the lion population a chance to grow. However, in Kenya, where this
practice is illegal, Olamaie may be used as a reason for retaliatory killing
against lions suspected of killing livestock. Maasai customary laws prohibit
killing a sick or infirm lion.

Presentation About Lions

This is my presentation about lions. so when we first started this we had to do a dictogloss. Those of you's that don't know what a dictogloss is, is when we have to get a piece of paper and and it has what it looks like, where they live, what they eat and something special about them. this was kind of easy for me but i still learnt a lot about lions. So after we get given our piece of paper the our teacher (Miss Paton) reads out the whole lot of information to us twice and we have t listen carefully and put in the right information in the right box and then after that we had to make an google doc lion report and then make this presiontasion

Thank You!

Reducing Plastic Waste at School

Plastics

I feel we need to tackle the litter problem at school level.

I think that our school should reduce plastic and packaging.

By doing this it will help our school become a better

environment.

Also having containers and ziplock bags are better too

because we can reuse them for packaging of foods.

We could have nude foods as they provide no litter,

and would be great  for a worm farm and in the compost

bin.

The kind of nude foods you can eat are bananas, apples,

pears and mandarins. If your parents give you any

packaging foods, then tell them to put it in usable

containers and ziplock bags.

Another option at school level is to have separate bins for fruit

scraps, plastic, recycling and waste. We could educate our

kids to put their rubbish in the right bins. We could have different

coloured bins and also to put the labels on.

Our school should be rubbish free so that we have no litter

around.
