Endangered whales

Why are whales endangered?

Whales are endangered because of oil spills from ships.These oil spills are polluting the sea so whales are dying.Oil spills can affect the food chain.When whales eat oil-infected animals in the sea it can affect them because oil can injure the eyes and lungs.

Whales are also endangered because whalers are using their fishing nets to catch them.Using fishing nets catches a large number of whales.Whalers also use drift nets which catch whatever swims into them,including whales.These whales get tangled up in the nets and drown.

Ships often go very fast and can accidently ram into whales.Whales hit by these ships can be seriously injured,losing parts of their tails to propeller blade or dyes.

POEM

MATARIKI POEM

7 stars in the sky shining bright in the night.
I’m a man walking in the night 
looking at the 7 stars so bright.
I’m a man that got all my question right 
about the seven stars.
My raps are so tight 
and so bright like 7 stars in the sky.

Kahawi

In the this story I read was Kahawi. First there was an old lady and her mokopuna that went fishing and there was and sign that said danger because it was polluted water.When they went to go fishing there were heaps of broken stuff and there was a city that was broken and even the Sky Tower was broken too. Then when they finished looking around they started to fish.Soon when they put their little net down then they got a fish that was called Kahawi. Last of all the old lady that was with her mokopuna  put the fish back into the water.

This story is trying to tell us not to pollute the water and so that we get staff to drink and not to cuck rubbish into the water.

loopy people

Today we had to measure our self  so we can make our loopy people for maths.

First every one in the class had to get into pairs and we had to get a measuring tape so we can measure ourselves.

Next we had to write down our measurements in our books. Because we wanted to save paper we had to half our measurements so we make smaller loopy people.

After we had to get some paper and measure our  half measurements on the paper and cut it out. After we cut our measurements out we had to decorate our loopy people.

The final part is putting our loopy people together and then displaying it on our wall.

Long Bay Survival Trip

First thing we did there was have morning tea because it was morning tea. After we had morning tea we had to get into groups. Our group went for a hike and we went to the native trail. It was not so long and when we got back we had to talk about some trees with the teacher Shan.

Then we all had to swap teachers so we can do the next thing.The next thing we did was pitching the tent and we had some help from Dora’s dad but we finished second. After we could go inside the tent then we had to pack the tent up and put it back in the bag because Sarah told us to.Then we cooked some sausages and it was nice to eat the with the bread and tomato sauce.

After that we had to swap teachers because we had to learn the next thing and the next thing we did was relays but we had to get the list so we know what we had to go and get, then when we are finished Magritte will tell us if we got the right or wrong stuff then when that was finished we had to get two long sticks and make a stretcher so someone can lie on it.

Last of all we had to sit down and listen to Sarah, Magritte and Shan then we all had to line up so we can go back to the bus and off to school.
