The Tui- Lachlan

 

Tui

 The tui

Tui is medium-sized, common, and widespread birds of the forest They look black from a distance, but in good light, tui has a blue, green, and bronze color to them and white throat tufts. They are usually very beautiful, with a mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts, and wheezes. In-flight, their bodies slant with the head higher than the tail, and their noisy whirring flight is interspersed with short glides.

The tui also has a good habit of singing in its surroundings. But they only sing when they have landed in a tree or on the ground.

The lime green puppy

Harrison- Valerie Adam

 

Valerie adams

Today in Whenua We had 30 minutes to research as much as we can about somebody from the quiz that we did earlier and I decided to research Valerie Adams. The easiest part for me was getting the information because she does shot put and there's a lot of information about her medals and achievements. And the most difficult part for me was getting enough information in 30 minutes. By Harrison 

Beatles- Taj

 The Beatles statue

The Beatles were a rock band that made a lot of music and they were very successful and there is now a statue of them in Liverpool's Waterfront in December 2015 donated by Cavern Club. the statue is seven feet tall and weighs more than 1.2 tonnes. The statue was revealed to the public in 2015. When the Beatles Broke up in 1970 Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980 and Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001. McCartney and Starr are still doing music.

Today my class did a Quiz and I wanted to do the Beatles statue and it was fun because now I know some stuff about the Beatles and it was a bit hard to because I did not know that much and it was sad because one of them got killed.

Miro G- Armageddon

 Today we had to do a quiz about the current events and then research the thing one of the questions was about. The question I chose was, "Armageddon Expo celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. What is Armageddon expo?". I researched everything I could find about the convention. I would have added more but the school blocks the Armageddon site. To be BTB I could have searched more on different websites.

Katelyn- Current Events

 

A Green Dog named Pistacchio

 

Today we did a quiz. My group got 6 out of 20. The quiz is really hard. After the whole class did the quiz Miss Farr (our teacher) said we have to research and put it on our blog about one of the questions. I choose to do the mysterious green dog because I love animals and it is crazy that a dog can turn colors in the wound.

I enjoyed this activity because it wasn't how we do the quiz thing because Miss Farr usually picks one of the questions from the quiz and pick one that is interesting to her. 

It was difficult because we only had 30 minutes to do this.

I really hope you enjoyed it :)

NZ Land Wars- Miro G

 

 This is a timeline about the New Zealand land wars.

It was kind of hard because I had to change the words to something different from the book we were getting the information from, otherwise, I would be plagiarising.

Keil's Islamic New Year

Today's Schoolwork we had to research another country that has a New Year celebration and write about it with all the 5 'W" and "H". I found it really interesting and fun to do.
