Rodrick rules

By: Caitlyn

This book is about Greg Heffley who had a bad summer holiday, and he doesn't want to talk to people about it. As Greg starts a new year of school he is eager to put the past behind him and he just wants to forget about it. His older brother, Rodrick knows all about Greg's terrible summer holidays. Will Greg ever forget about his terrible summer holidays?

I recommend this book for people who are interested in someone’s life. I rate this book 5 out of 5. Children 9 yrs and over should read this book. I think this is a brilliant book and I hope the people who read it, enjoy it.

Praise you O God …

You have given us life and justice

You have forgiven our sins

The dog experiment

Dog experiment

WALT:write a current event

How did the scientist conduct this experiment?

The scientist conducted this experiment with dogs by showing them different pictures of different facial reactions of humans.

Why did they show the dogs only particular face?

So the dogs could recognize humans facial expression.

What was the reason for showing the dogs left side of the picture instead of the right?

Because the scientist think that the face on the right makes them retreat, and on the left side they do not retreat.

Why did the dogs with male owners have a harder time reading their expression? Because of their owners gender.

What are the scientists planning to do next?

They are going to use it on other animals like pigs, cats and hand raised wolves.

Contaminated water

Contaminated water

Have you ever thought of what would happen if there is contamination of the water? Well I have. It can cause serious harm to anyone. Contamination of the water can start by people throwing litter in there drains and then it will go to the waterways. This can lead up to our marine life. Our marine life could choke on the litter that we dump in the sea and the litter put in our drain.

This can affect and breakdown the food chain. This will cause the marine life dying,  like whales. If they die we will not be able to swim in the sea because there is a lot of plankton swimming in the sea and the ocean will be all covered by them. Whales are great eaters of plankton. No whales mean increase plankton out in the ocean.

Another problem is cow waste. When the cows poop sometimes the farmer picks it up and puts it into the drains. When the farmer puts it in the drain it will go to the waterways and go to the sea, and again it can break down the marine lives food chain.

One other reason why contamination in the water is happening is because of pesticide. Pesticide is a chemical that kills insects and

bugs. When people spray pesticide on their plants the insects die, and sometimes when it rains the pesticide can go to the drains into the waterways then into the ocean washed away from trees and insects. That means we will have the chemical in our water that we drink from our taps. So that means we will be drinking pesticide water.

Another problem is acid rain, this can begin by our water getting contaminated then the water from down low will go up into the clouds and then it will start to rain. The result is rain, the rain will make your skin itchy. This is because of the pollution in the water.

Contaminated water is causing one other problem which is oil spills.

Oil spills is when the boats spill oil in to the sea and it evidently kill the marine life.

Would you like to drink contaminated water? Well think about it  having dirty water and having little pieces of litter inside your glass. Well I know I wouldn't want dirty water. Do you want clean water so stop littering.

         

What is good about these Chromebooks?

My Chromebook

By: Caitlyn

Having chrome book is fun. It helped me in lots of thing. With chromebook you can take it anywhere, any place as long as it has WIFI. If you need the Chromebook you don’t need to wait for other people to finish their work you can use the Chromebook anytime. My Chromebook helps me in learning vocabulary, new words I don't know. I can research the words I don’t know and be able to understand them and use them in my story. With the chrome book we use heaps of apps like Dogonews, My Drive, My mail, Study-ladder, Mrs Cochrane’s classroom, sketch pad  and many many more!

I learned more facts about UNICEF as to how they care for children and the poor people of the world. I learned that children have rights and protected by the convention on the rights of the child. I learned about fruit flies how they ruin our fruit and destroy our country's whole economy.

Hippo fossil

Hippo fossils

By: Caitlyn

The researchers have developed that hippos come from a family of plant eating and they could not confirm it, because it was 15 million years ago when it was discovered.

Lihoreau and his research team stumbled on a jaw of a hippo, so they became curious. This was how they investigated and researched on hippos.

The patterns on the fossil found was unique, it made  a connection from the ancient time to the modern day hippos. Did you know that ancient hippos weigh more than 220 pounds !

The researchers believed that hippos were related to whales because both of them spend a lot of time underwater.

Lihoreau called hippos real Africa mammals because hippos were originally from Africa and not brought from another country. Lions, giraffes and zebras were not from Africa, they were brought in from another country.        

Fruit Flys

    Fruit Fly Explanation                   By: Caitlyn

Fruit flies have a devastating harm to New Zealand and many countries. They particularly destroy our good quality fruits and vegetables that have vitamins. They especially ruin  tomato, capsicum, eggplant, pumpkin, all berries, avocados and more.

Fruit flies lay baby eggs called maggots and they get laid inside ripening fruits.

Did you know that in New Zealand  we sell our fruits overseas for a good price and if the fruit flies keep on spoiling our fruits our whole economy will go down. Many people from other countries won’t accept our fruits and vegetables.

The MPI (The Ministry of Primary Industries) have been struggling to get rid of these fruit flies pest so if you see a fruit fly get a plastic container and get some scrunched pieces of tissues and then put the lid on and then put it in the fridge. If you find any fruit flies in your neighborhood or in your house phone the MPI: 0800 80 99 66.

 

Pollution

Pollution

Has anyone wondered what would happen if the whole world  is polluted with rubbish everywhere?  Well I am concern.  It can cause serious harm to our economy, to people’s lives, to animal habitats, and also to our vegetation. We could lose even our lives.

Pollution could do many harm that would affect the world. It can pollute our fresh air. When the air is polluted it can damage our lungs and we would have 20 out of 100% of dying from lung cancer. It can damage our body, cause diseases and death  and affect affect humans in many ways. It can also place an effect on the health of animal and plants.

If pollution keeps on happening we will have no fresh water to drink from our taps and that means all our water will be dirty and not clean. Say maybe some people don’t want to drink dirty water.  That can lead up to dehydration. Did you know? that more than 5000 people have died because of not drinking clean water.  So we have to clean the water-STOP littering.

It can also destroy our marine life that swims in the sea. Did you know that whales eat plankton and if whales die because of pollution there will be heaps of plankton left. And do you know that means? It means that you will not be able to swim in the beach because it is covered full of plankton and it is covered with plastic bags, chip packets, and other thing we litter in the sea. This is life cycle that will not carry on.  The solution is to stop littering and when you see rubbish please pick it up and put it in the right bin.

Who is God?
