POWHIRI

Hello My name is Taki and will be telling you about my day today so far.

Today when I went to school there was something going on.When I got there, there were heaps of sausages.After I had my sausages I had some drinks and I had apple juice and it was so nice.

When I came back from the toilet Hana was doing a Samoan dance and Mr Nath gave her some money for dancing. After she was dancing, the boys came and did their Tongan dance.

Next when we finished we had to go in to the class because the bell rang.When the bell rang Miss Elia asked us to come down to the hall sensibly because the Mayor was at school.

When we got in the hall there was this lady that called the mayor and his crew into the hall.In the hall the Mayor Len brown was talking to us kids and it was funny because we copied what he said.

When Len Brown finished talking we started to sing songs and we sang E Tasi Ae Lasi.When we finished E Tasi Ae lasi we sang all the other songs and it was cool because I sang very loudly.

Last of all, we all went outside to go and see the sod turning and it was cool.When they did the sod turning we sang Te Aroha and when we finished sod turning we went and meet Len Brown then it was time to class.

SEA STARS

Today I have learnt that sea stars don't use blood to flow throughout there bodies they use sea water to go through there bodies.Also I learnt that sea stars have bony skin so that when predators come and try to harm them they wont hurt.In the world there are over 2,000 species of sea stars living in all the world's.

Now I will tell you how to play the game sea star maths now first one person has to write the total of the number then the other person has to come and try to make numbers that add up to the number that the other person wrote.

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.
