Poetry (1st Try)

 (Trying to rhyme with N or G )

Inside the red gate, nothing would happen.

Inside the red gate, kids are playing.

Trees are swaying, while kids are playing.

 In summer weather, every kid is excited.

In winter, everyone feels cold.

Kids walking to school, while being cold.

People frown and grin, with unexplainable expressions.

Inside their skin, they’re growing.

This year everything changed, with distances happening.

While watching others from afar, and waiting for them. 

Students walk to school and come inside the red gate.

Students go and play before the bell rings.

Through these years I have over grew.

I have learnt to have summon sense.

Climate Change (Group Task)

 

Task description - Today for reading we ad to do a PSA (Public Service Announcements) in a group between 2-4 not more than that. My group consisted of Trinity, Mata, llaisaane (Including me.) We had to choose what type of topic we wanted and we decided to write about Climate Change since it includes some interesting facts and details within the topic.  

We originally had a video but it got lost in the ipad so the more easier thing to do was to write about it instead of just recreating the video again.  

Mystical Figure (Not Finished)

Mystical Figure

There was once a tree, not an ordinary tree, but something special.  This certain tree lived in a small resorted place whose name is unknown. The tree was known to have a mystical, enchanting, twisted figure while being hidden around trees and dark mystical colors. No-body got to take a closer view of this tree for unknown reasons. The tree was similar to chocolate brown with some additions of black (Secretly hidden near the leaves) the leaves were emerald green with some mint green near the edge.The moon was hidden between the dark clouds and the water was slightly shining. Some campers would try their best to find this exact spot but eventually they find a normal tree nothing really special so they were disappointed about this. 

 

16,000 year old kelp in Scotland.

 

Scotland

Scotland is a country which is part of the United Kingdom. Covering the northern third island of Great Britain, mainland Scotland has a 96-mile border with England to the southeast is otherwise...  Capital - Edinburgh. National Animal - Unicorn (The Truth) Population - 5.454 million. The national flag of Scotland is the Saltire. It's made up of a great white cross which spans diagonally across the flag a blue background. This was the supposed shape of the cross that St Andrew was put to death on and therefore the flag is known as the "The Flag of St".

Kelp

Scientists found a type of kelp which was 16,000 years old.

A Team from Heriot-Watt  University think the type of seaweed survived since the last Ice Age. 

Scientists will now investigate of why it survived for that long, especially  they were focusing ioon how marine plants survive extreme changes in climate.

They found it off the coast of Scotland, Ireland and Brittany (France)

One of the marine Ecologists said " Kelp plays a critical role in the Atlantic so it's important to understand what affects its distribution and survival over-time and how sensitive it is to change".

There are 30 different types of kelp, and the one they found is called Oar-weed.

The Overgrown Bridge

Overgrown Bridge

A few years ago, there was a certain bridge which was popular back then but now nobody uses it.  About 5 or 10 years ago, this bridge was really popular since it’s located between a few popular cities.

This bridge (commonly called  Old Harbour Bridge) was really special back then because it was more easily accessible for other people. The people used it non-stop for driving or just a long walk. Eventually people stopped using it for an unknown reason.

People got scared as well since it crumbled down very slowly and people got hurt or stuck. Harbour Bridge was closed for a while but even-though it was closed down for a few weeks it slowly started to get overgrown or basically leaves and  vines grew around the whole bridge for absolutely no reason.

This was a-bit weird but it’s slightly not-surprising for local people mainly because this town was known for weird activities during day-night with no exact cause. They had a pretty bad history because there was a really weird-dangerous illness going around the country and only some people died. This wasn’t the weirdest thing because the people who passed away are slightly seen near the places they were found but that’s what used to happen back in the 1800-1900’s.

Although the history was pretty bad, the people were very nice towards others while a few (3-5) were a-bit Two-sided (Two-siders are people who act very nice-kind but they are really rude and talk bad about you or others you love/don’t know much about.) During the shining day-light, the bridge caught everyone’s attention because of its beauty.

Fossils of 4-legged Whales found in Peru.

4-Legged-Whales

 A fossil of a 43-million-year-old whale with 4 legs, webbed feet and hooves were found in Peru. Palaeontologists believe the marine mammals 4-metre-long body was adapted to swim and to walk on land. The semi-aquatic whale was compared to a otter,beaver of something that was longer and larger. It was found marine sediments 1km inland from Peru's Pacific Coast, at Playa Media Luna. 

Palaeontologists, are about the Study of Life that existed prior and sometimes including the start of the Holocene Epoch. It also includes the Study of Fossils to classify organisms and study interactions with each-other and their environments. 

Sediments is a naturally occurring material  that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported of wind,water and ice.

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's Crust. Then transports it into another location. 

Holocene Epoch is the current period of geologic time. Another term is the Anthropocene Epoch.  

Kiwi Kids News

 

Task description - Today for reading, we had to go on a website called "Kiwi Kids News". We had to at-least read some stories and answer the following questions.

Sebastiao Salgado

 Sebastiao Reibeiro  Salgado Junior  (8th February, 1944 Age 76) is a Brazilian Social Documentary photographer and photojournalist. He has basically travelled over 120 Countries only for his photographic projects. Most (or all) of these have appeared in numerous press publications and books. Turing exhibitions of his work has been presented throughout the whole world. Saldago trained as a Economist, while earning a masters degree in economics from the University Of São Paulo in Brazil. He started to work as a Economist for the INO (International Coffee Organisation), often travelling to Africa on missions for the World Bank, when he first started seriously taking photographs. He chose (in his own opinion) to abandon a career as a economist and chose to continue taking photographs in 1973.

He published different books such as  The Other Americas, Sahel, Migrations, and Genesis. 

 

Edvard Munch

 Task description -  Edvard Munch is a Norwegian Artist and his best artwork (The Scream), has become one of the most iconic images of art. Sadly, his childhood was ruined by an illness called (TB - Tuberculosis). His mother and sister died from the illness and it spread all around the world. It kept killing people non-stop without any trace of where it first started. It's similar to Covid-19 but this disease got to people by it's saliva and just simple coughing/sneezing.

Climate Change Create Task

 

Task description - Since we learn't about Climate Change we had to create a task about Climate Change. Climate Change has something to do with the Greenhouse effect as well.

Climate Change

Task description - Today we were learning about the Climate change and what's it about. Climate change is about temperature and slightly similar to the global warming's. At times climate change comes, either throughout the day, week or year.
