Summer Learning Journey Practice

Hello bloggers,
Today I am practising for the 2019 to 2020 summer learning journey. So you might have seen this type of blog post one my blog before. This is just a practice. Enough of this now lets get on with the main part of this post. I will be sharing 3 facts (Plus a bonus one) about my hometown New Zealand.


1. New Zealand was the first country to give woman the right to vote. This momentous occasion happened in 1893. This occurred because of a woman named Kate Shepard .

2.The highest mountain in the world, Mt Everest, is about 8848 meters. The first ever person the climb it was Sir Edmund Hillary. He did this along with his partner Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. Sir Edmund Hillary was a New Zealander.

3.New Zealand has a very special dolphin called the hectors dolphin. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as one of the most rarest dolphins in the world. There are only abut 10000 left. So if you come across one you can say you are lucky.

Bonus fact. No matter were you are in New Zealand you will never be more then  128 kilometers from the seaside.

I hope you enjoyed. What is your favourite fact about New Zealand? BYE!

VR headsets

Hello bloggers,

A few weeks ago we tried out some VR headsets. Now we are trying to convince our
principle to buy some for our school. Here is my persuasive writing.

I think that you should buy some VR headsets for the school. Firstly, it is fun, secondly,
the teachers don’t have to plan as much and thirdly it gives us amazing opportunities .
So today I am going to convince you to buy a couple VR headsets.

Firstly it is fun. Most people in the school will probably love the VR headsets. Like me. For
example,
if the teacher plans something that some students hate, doing it in VR would make it fun
for them. If the class didn’t do it in VR and they hate the subject they wouldn’t try their
hardest and wouldn’t pay attention. It could take a long time for a teacher to sort that out
but in VR they probably would pay attention. Another example is that it could be a fun game
for students if they have been good. It would never get boring.

Secondly it would make the teachers plan less. The students would choose what they learn
about rather than the teacher. For example, if the teachers have run out of ideas then
they would get stressed out and lots of bad things will happen. If we have the VR headsets
she could say to describe something that we saw in VR. But it wouldn’t be an ordinary piece
of writing. Since things in VR are really realistic you can see every detail which will make
student’s writing easier because they can see the little detail you normally wouldn’t see
other than trying to think of what a shark's eye looks like. It’s like a two in one, the
teachers plan less and the students get better writing.

Thirdly, it can give us experiences that we would never get to do. For example, we
could go to a different country. I am 99 percent sure that our school would never
take students to a different country. Another example is that you don’t have to
organize everything to go to the real place. We could just go there in VR and it would
be much easier.

Please buy VR headsets because it will make the whole school happy. It is an easy and
fun way for us to learn. We would appreciate if you bought some.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any feedback please comment on it.
Do you think our principal should buy us VR headsets? BYE!!

Should animals be kept in zoos?

Hello bloggers,

Today I will be showing you my piece of writing. It is about animals and how
they shouldn’t be kept
in zoos.
Here is the writing.

Humans have a free life. They can do whatever they like.
But it is different for some animals.
They are kept in enclosures and kept away from where they are meant to be. 

I strongly believe that animals should not be kept in zoos. It is like an animals prison.
There are told to eat, sleep and drink. Some of you might say then how are
going to learn
about animals?
We can research about them and read books.

Secondly if we give them the same food every day they might not want to eat
it anymore
and could die because
they weren’t eating.
But if they were in the wild they can find any food they like to eat.

Thirdly, when they are in the zoo they are relying on the zookeeper to give
them the stuff they need to survive.
So when the animal is released back to the wild it won’t know how to hunt
and where to sleep so they will die. 

So animals should never ever kept in zoos. As people say you only have
on life so let them make the most of it in peace.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any feedback comment it.
Which side are you on? BYE!!

Animals

Hello bloggers,It has been a while since I have posted something. But I hope you had an amazing holiday. Today I did some writing about four different animals. Here it is.

Today I will be telling you some facts about four different animals.

Rabbits

Rabbits enjoy munching on cabbage, carrots and dried fruit (Walnuts, almonds). The house of a rabbit is called a hut. The material that is covering rabbits is fur. Some have short fur and others have tall fur. To survive rabbits need lots of attention from their owners. 

Birds

A bird's favourite meals consists of seeds and apples. Pet birds have to be kept in cages so they don’t fly away and escape their owner. Unlike rabbits there are covered with feathers. Sometimes birds need to be put outside in their cage so they can breathe fresh air.

Dogs

A dog's diet is meat, dog biscuits and canned dog food. Pet dogs live in their home called a kennel. Their body has a thick coat of fur around them. For pet dogs to live you have to take them for a walk and groom them with a brush.

Fish

If you have a fish you have to feed it fish pellets and flakes. They live in a fish tank or a bowl. There is a layer of scales covering their body. Once in a while you have to clean the water so the water won’t get contaminated.

Aiko Hiko Student Toolkits

Hello bloggers,
Today we had our Ako Hiko Student toolkits. If you don't know what a toolkit is it is when all the schools from a cluster come to one school and present workshops. The people running to workshops teach other kids how to use something digital. Anyway the workshop that I enjoyed the most was droning high. We got to fly a drone and it went all over the place.  I presented a workshop. It was about the coding game scratch. I was nervous but also excited.

Have you ever went to a toolkit? If you have comment it. BYE!!
