Plight of the Sea Turtle

Plight of the sea turtle

The story of the plight of the sea turtle is about sea turtles lives. It is also about how we should look after sea turtles and their habitats. It even tells us why we need to look after the sea turtles and how they are surviving in the hot temperate Pacific Ocean.

The big problem is people. People do illegal stuff with the sea turtles like sell Sea turtles in the black market. They get gains from their selling and as well eat the meat. People throw their rubbish to the shore. Plastics are the biggest trash they throw and it became a problem for the sea creatures. They get tangled in their necks and they get choked with the plastics. Plastic bags are the biggest problem out in the sea.

Another problem is we as people use plastic bags for shopping instead of proper shopping bags that are not made out of plastic. One more problem is people trash their habitats. Predators eat the eggs and as well the baby sea turtles. It is tough for sea turtle to survive.

Yes there is a solution to the problem but it requires our help. We need to look after the beaches and keep the water as pure as the blue sky. We should stop the black market selling of sea turtle shells and meat. Never buy such stuff produced from sea turtle shell and other animals. Also please never ever kill sea turtles, and destroy their homes. We try to cherish them forever and ever.

Tree grows 40 fruit!

The tree grows 40 fruit

Award winning artist and also professor, Sam van Aken’s latest creation has mixed flawless art with science and also gardening, to create a tree that grows 40 fruit!  

The tree can grow 40 varieties of plums, peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries also this its an nut called almond  and more.

Sams mix of fruit tree creation is better than loom bands and due to the fact that some of these fruits are ancient. This tree is so rare to come across. The tree itself is marvellous and an inspiring work of art and in stunning colour. The colour of the tree is crimson, pink, purple and with a touch of white blooms. Sam has placed sixteen unique forty fruit trees around the USA museums around the community.  Isn't that amazing?

Sam hopes his creation will be famous around the world and that it will teach people about the different fruit like peaches, plums and apricots that were ancient fruit.  Also one query why you cannot get as many in shops.

NO VOTE FOR ME!

NO VOTE FOR ME!

Some of these politicians may have the looks, the talk and the money cha ching$ but do they have the votes to conquer John Key. Labour could do that but the rest of them have a one in a million chance!

I think we all know who will always win the elections I don’t even need to say the name but for those who do not know who I will say it John Key. I mean people really should not be interested about the elections its not like someone could just walk in and win the elections even school students yeah school students should have the right to not be interested in these elections. No campaign or kind of smartness could change peoples minds about who to vote for. How can people trust these candidates. They are surely DIRTY politics!  

Whatever after sink or swim

Whatever after

sink or swim book review

The book whatever after sink or swim is an amazing book. This book sink or swim is a fascinating book about a brother and a sister their names are Jonah which is the brother and the sisters name is Abby. They have a magic mirror that takes them to any fairy tail like Cinderella, Snow White’s fairy tale and also Rapunzels fairy tale. This book is also about Abby and Jonah changing the little mermaids story Abby and Jonah mostly change the end parts of the fairy tales. I don’t like this book I love it because they change the fairy tales and make them more exciting and longer, The part I love in this book is when Abby says that she forgot her pyjamas at Snow whites haha very typical. I recommend this book for grades 3-6.

Te Taha Wai Marae

Te Taha Wai Marae

By: Gina

We went to a marae on 19th  of August. First we had to wait behind the waharoa because we could not just go in also because it is sacred land.

Once we heard the lady say haere mai we got to walk through the waharoa. I was so nervous it was like I wanted to smirk but I did not it was cool. We had to pause for little while to think of our ancestors those are our great great great grandparents. Then we continued to walk the walk till we got to the steps of the marae. We had to take of our shoes and leave them next to each other after that we got to go inside. I was so excited because it was my first time in a marae. The boys had to sit in the front and the girls at the back. Joshua K did his Mihi,  and Joshua J did the speech. We learnt about the ancestors that were carved on the wall and they showed peoples names in a story way. We also ate a one biscuit and one cup of water that was our morning tea because we were not allowed to bring our bags. After that we splitted up into two groups and did different activities.  We did weaving and an action song I forgot what it was called and how it went. Then we got to feel the ancestors they felt like good timber.  We also drew a bookmark of them. Suddenly we had to go and I was grateful that I had got an opportunity to go in an marae.

Dear dumb diary

book

review

The book dear dumb diary is about a girl who has a diary, And the stuff she writes about is true or at least as true as it needs to be. This  girls name is called Jamie Kelly. she hates where she comes from and her favourite place is…  ELSEWHERE! and her favourite food is foreign food. I sort of like this book because they make it like  a real diary. The reason why I don’t like is because at the end it just changes tone. I recommend this book for ages 7-9. This book is by Jim Benton he has wrote 16 books. He is an amazing author. I hope you read his books especially this one.
