5 Biomes

 Today I learnt about 5 different biomes. What is a biome? A biome are five major types. Grassland, forest,desert,aquatic and tundra  all these biomes have different animals the live under the land or on the land.  The biome I like the most is the aquatic biome because it has lots of fishes and other sea creatures that some people have never seen and only in photos. This is one creature from the aquatic biome. this sea creature is a sunfish.  A sunfish like a shark but without a tail they are very huge that they are the heaviest bony fish in the world.  They can grow over 10 feet long and more than 8 feet from fin to fin. Sun fish don't have tails because instead of a tail they have structure called a clavus. A sunfishes life span is up to ten years in cavity.

When one of them got injured and couldn't make the jump of so his friend asked if they can share the gold instead of having a jump of. And the official said "That is Possible". Barshim nodded and Tamberi started clapping. (Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim won Gold)


Last is Weight lifting David Liti is in the Men's super Heavyweight Weightlifting.  David Ltit Came 5th in the super heavyweight division. But Georgian broke his own snatch world record in lifting 223 kg.  He said "He felt happy and it was fun for a first time."  His third attempt to crack 241 kg was a fail but he wants to come back and win Gold.  (David Liti came 5th.)

Once we got there we walked into there theater and sat in our spots.  I sat on the left side in the front the people sitting next to me were Nature and Marytina.  I would say that the production was romantic and funny.  The main characters were Red and Arial.  My favourite part of the production was when Red saved Arial from her abusive boyfriend chuck.

Measurement Activities

 

Story from Kiwi Kids News

 

So Today I chose to write about the elephant that got rescued from a well. The well was covered in bushes but there was no wall or fence to cover it up. Then a man came to see what the loud noise was and it was the elephant that fell in the well. They used a crane to life the elephant up but the people said that two other elephants fell in the well in the past.

Reading

 So the book I chose was on https://storylineonline.net/ its called Library lion. I paused the video to write what I think would happen next.


So what happened was when the lady started reading a book the lion came in to listen but the lady reading the book was complaining because the lion wouldn't leave the library so she called the lady that works there and said "The lion won't leave the library"then the worker said "But there are no rules about lions in the library". So I think that the lion waited until the next storytime and played while waiting

Letter writing

 Letter Writing



When Jacinda Ardern came and visited us, she asked our class if we could write letters to her and talk about problems we see in our school/community or New Zealand.  Think very carefully about these problems and what you believe we can do to solve them.  Once you have finished writing your letter I will send them to the prime minister.

Dear Prime Minister 


Body of your Letter


1st Paragraph - My name is Fifita and today we are learning about writing letters to the Prime Minister. Thank you for leading New Zealand and putting us in levels that will keep us safe
