Orana Park Trip
Hello everyone, Today I'm writing about my school trip to Orana Park with the rest of room five and room six. First we went in the parent helpers cars and drove to the park. After that we met the Animal helpers and they gave us a tour of the park. First we visited the frogs, The Tigers, Lions, Lizards, Kiwi and then we learnt about the body parts of different animals that have died and then have been stuffed or dug up like the Lion skull we looked at. We also got to learn about if they were carnivores, herbivores, frugivores and omnivores, If they were a carnivore they would only eat meat, if they were a herbivore they would only eat herbs, if they were a frugivore and they would only eat fruit and if they were an omnivore they would only eat plants, animals, algae and fungi. After we learnt about that we had a break and looked at the rest of the animals such as Gorillas, apes, and other kinds of monkeys I cant remember. We also learnt that a way to show it's your territory they leave their scents by rubbing it on the things around them, spraying the area with their urine and pooping on the territory. After this we went to the giraffes and fed them some leaves, then we went to see the water buffalos, cheetas, bisons, yaks, rhinos, meerkats, otters and the other animals that I can't remember cause we saw a lot. It was an interesting trip and there were a lot of pretty cool animals. Ok anyway here are some pictures that we took. Hope you enjoyed ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

Dragon writing T2 W10
Hello everyone today I going to be showing you my dragon writing that I did for descriptive writing, we started learning about how to do different writing things like noun w, DE:DE, 2a sentences, P+P,S+A, all examples, some:others, connectives and generalisers. we also had to have subtitles, like appearance, habitat and the amazing facts. before this we had to pick a color that we wanted our dragon to be and then do a descriptive report on them about, what they look like, what they eat and where they like to live. I picked the blue dragon and wrote my report on it. After I finished that they told us to make up our own dragon and then do another report about them. This is what I did. I also kind of used my information from my other report to help me out with this one. I also did a drawing about this dragon but I didn't get to finish it and now I think it's lost. welp, enjoy my writing:) .
The light blue dragon
The blue dragon is a very rare type of dragon with very extraordinary breathtaking eyes.
Blue dragons are rare themselves but these are on a different level: they say that a light
blue dragon only appears every 100 years. These creatures are very fragile and are protected
at all costs by their family and they can only keep in the air for a certain amount of time before
getting tired.
Appearance
The light blue dragon has a large strong tail with prickly spikes along the sides.
Some light blue dragons have colossal wings; others have enormous horns on the top of their heads.
Each blue dragon will have a rare ability like being able to control their tails, or being able to fly
high in the sky without draining their power. These rare dragons, which have amazing white eyes,
are chosen to make the most important decisions because the blue dragons are sure that they
have appeared for a reason.
Habitat
The light blue dragons like to be around trees and nature, because when they’re surrounded by tall
trees they feel safe and protected from the dangers of the outside world. The light blue dragons sit
below the biggest tree in the forest before making decisions. They like to eat fruits and vegetables
- berries, oranges and bananas - are all examples of foods they like to eat. They love animals and
refuse to harm them.
Amazing Facts
These extraordinary creatures have sharp, white teeth and icy, freezing frosty breath that could
freeze anyone or anything that comes too close. Even though these dragons are guarded and
protected they never seem to be able to get away from trouble.
Did you know that the 4th light blue dragon was taken out by a falling branch.
Dragonologists believe if you are underneath a light blue dragon and it uses it’s frosty breath it
could turn into a hail storm in an instant. These rare dragons are very dangerous but also
surprisingly on the calmer side. The bad news is that hunters will stop at nothing to get a hold
of their claws, apparently they can be worth a lot of money and some people like to collect them.
In short these dragons aren’t safe.
I think I did a pretty decent job on this report but next time I could choose something a little different to write about since this one was kinda similar to my other one.

holy week concertina art
Hello everybody, this week room 5 and 6 have been creating concertina art pieces for R.E and they've all turned out great. The pictures in my one are the cross and the eucharist. I turned out pretty cool and i'm happy with what I created but I think that I could have put more effort into the eucharist part of my art. What do you think? have you created art like this before? well, bye.

Toolkit
Hi everyone! Today at St bernadettes school the seniors have been doing a thing called toolkit where you learn about different subjects, but most of the activities were about creating things digitally. My personal favourite was a thing called pixton comics, here is a link to the website PIXTON COMICS so the first thing you had to do is sign in with google, and the after that you can make your avatar and start messing around with other avatars and backgrounds. anyways that was the website I enjoyed most, The thing i liked most about it was you could make your own avatar and the like make little animations.
Some of the hangouts didn't work though. like one of the hangouts declined me like 6 times. others were blurry and some of them, the sound just wouldn't work so I had to exit out of the tab and come back.
Reflection: I think i could've done more work on making an animation but it was still fun.
Okay! bye people. :)

Smart relationships and how to have a good conversation
Hi people,
Today i'm going to tell you what i've learned about spam comments and how to start a good conversation with people online. We used a website called book creator so that we could make these books about how to deal with spam comments and start good conversations.
When you know someone is spamming you is when they leave comments but when you click on they're blog you can't find their blog or anything. When this happens it is best to show an adult or a teacher. When there is a good comment on your blog post, for example " hi -name- I really like your work, bye.- when this happens you can say - hi, thank you for commenting I like your work too, I think we have a lot in common.- that would be a good way to start a conversation with another person. Right now i'm going to show you this book that was supposed to be finished today, but when I did my work it got deleted, so this book is going to have nothing in it i am truly sorry. So here's a link to the .urumanuka site, it is where i got my information.
I think i could've done more information but yeah, it was kinda hard to make the pictures and stuff but it didn't really matter anyway, cause it got deleted. Do you like my book? heh
ANYWAY Here is the cover of my book.
also i will come back and finish the book later.

Blog Commenting
What I know about blog commenting is...
You should start with a hello
say who wrote the comment
Comment nicely
think about what you write before you write it and say bye
You can delete your comment if you don't want it to be up anymore
you can reply to someone's comment and you can report rude comments
last week we learnt how to put a link into a comment.
<a href="insert URL here">Insert display text here</a>\
Where it says Insert URL here, you delete and past the link.
Where it says insert display text here, you delete and write what you want to say e.g. " Click here to listen/watch/read"
Are you going to leave me a link comment? If so good job!:)

KOWHAIWHAI - What Did we do?
MY KOWHAIWHAI
My Kowhaiwhai
My kowhaiwhai pattern has eight korus in it to represent my family. They are all over the place to represent how my family is kind of strange. The one in the middle is The oldest, the one next to it is the 2nd oldest, the 3 on the top represents 3rd oldest, 4th oldest and 5th oldest and the one on top of the oldest is me the youngest.
My kowhaiwhai also has mathematical transformations, for example rotation and reflection.
