One dark night the sun had set and the oreo
coulered moon was up. An odd thing whooshed 
around a house and a dark shadow opened the
bedroom window of a little girl. It was the odd
dream giver. He looked like an ugly fairy type
of troll. He opened an egg, it was creamey
golden white chocolate liquid. The odd dream
giver opened the Magic dream egg and with
the egg he created dreams that went all over
the bedroom. The dream giver gave happy,
good dreams.  The girl dream about dancing.
The dream giver put an egg on her desk and
suddenly he the egg rolled off the desk and
cracked onto a scary book which the girl has
been reading ………..  Now the dream giver
gasped because it a scary book. Now The Girl is going to have a bad dream !!!!!!! 

The girl was in bed and all of a sudden
she fell down a tunnel leading into a
nightmare. She rolled down a steep
hill leading to a patch of long dark green
grass. It all seemed good but then something bad
happened. There was a big black shaddow falling
from the sky. The girl started to run and then the
dream giver appears out of nowhere and then cracks
an egg and pours the magic dust onto the ground in
order to save the girl. Then the girl woke up and the
girl  realised it was just a nightmare so she lay down
and had a good sleep for the rest of the night. The
dream giver flew away quietly.

Swim Like A Seal

                              Swim Like A Seal by Olive 

Swimming is a great sport to know. If you do not know how to swim it can lead to death. It can kill  3,536 humans a year. It is very bad. That is why you should learn to swim.

Firstly, swimming is great because it keeps your heart rate up but it takes some of the impact and stress off your body. It builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular (heart ) fitness. It helps maintain a healthy  weight, healthy heart and lungs. It provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming..

Secondly, swimming is the only activity or after school sport,  which can save your life. Your kid or yourself can learn how to save other people’s lives from drowning. Learning how to swim will make you feel comfortable in water.

Thirdly, Swimming can become a career like a lifeguard
or an Olympic, professional  swimmer and you can
start to go to go swimming school. Swimming can
lead to a good job.

Finally,I believe you should swim because it can be  good for your heart and it can save your life, you can save other people’s life, and you can be a  Olympic swimmer or a lifeguard. 

Toki Pounamu Film Festival

Toki Pounamu Film Festival 

On the 14 of november the senior schools went to the Toki Pounamu
Film Festival. It was my school’s  first time. This is a Film Festival
Where the kids in the Toki Pounamu clusters made a short film
of our place or their favourite place. The schools on the West Coast
went to the film festival. The schools which were at the film festival  was
Paroa School , Blacktown School , my school Karoro, Kumara School,
Kaniere School ands St Patricks. 

  

                      My favourite film 

My favourite was the crime film. The characters were the robber,
3 news reporters, and two sheriffs. The shots were great, The
camera lighting was a little dark and blurry at times. The sound
in the background was a bit windy and I couldn’t hear the people
talking a little bit. The location was at Paroa School. The sets were
so funny and it was different to all the other films which I loved. The
props were different to all others as well. I liked the slow motion running,
the time lapse, and the humour. It was very fun to watch.

My collage.

WALT: make a collage on a google drawing. We had to  use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to came together. Here is my work.

 

my New Zealand mini beast

We have been learning about mini beast in class as a part of science. We have been creating information reports on a mini beast of our choice. The mini beast we choice   had to live in New Zealand. Here is my writing. I worked with Porsha.

  >Beautiful bees<

 >What Is A Native Bee?

The New zealand natiAve bee is an insect. There are 28 species of the native bee and 27 of them only occur in New Zealand because one species is rarely found in Australia. They are very fast and tiny so you can hardly see them until they subtly land on a puaka/flower. If one passes you they are not aggressive and rarely sting so don't be scared of them. The New Zealand native bees carry pollen in their 2 back legs. The bees don’t make honey they just pollinate puaka/flowers so no jars of honey are coming from them. Their bodies are much smaller than the average honey bee. Unlike bumble bees they are shiny dark black and people often mistake them for wasps. These are very extraordinary bees but we are trying to stop them from going extinct.

>Where Do They Live?

Most people think they live in hives like other bees but they actually live in a different habitat. Uwha/Female bees make deep anaroa/tunnels in the trees, logs or the ground. The males bees don't make anaroa/tunnels and scientists don't know why yet. The native bees make their anaroa/tunnels very close together. The most common place to find the native bee is a pohutukawa tree it may be surprising but they love pohutukawa trees. These interesting critters have a very different idea of a home compared to the other bees but it seems to work for them better than a hive.

>What Do They Eat?

All the New Zealand native bee species eat the same things and very few things actually. They feed on puaka/flowers but don't produce honey so they only eat nectar and pollen which is an everyday meal for them. They also fly on trees and suck the delicious  juice of the kiwi fruit. Vegetable crops are a yummy snack for the native bees. We know that New Zealand native bees long tongues have similar taste buds to us!

>How Do They Breed?

New zealand native bees breed in similar ways to the common honey bees but here some differences. Uwha/females lay 3-10 eggs before death. Uwha/female bee dig 20-30 centimetres into the ground and then she lays her eggs. The Uwha/female looks after the larvae and starts feeding it pollen and nectar. The scientists still have a lot to discover about the New zealand native bee’s breeding ways.

>Are They Social?

New Zealand native bees are very lonely critters. Unlike honey and bumble bees they live in small groups in anaroa/tunnels but they don't communicate or talk with each other at all. Although they live in groups they are very solitary. It’s mind-blowing how they can live in groups but not even communicate. 

>Are They Endangered?

The New Zealand native bee is very threatened and people are very worried that our native bees are going to go extinct. Many birds impact on the population of the native bees. The honey bee explosion has put a dent in the native bee because the honey bees numbers have gone 390,523 in 2011 to 817,483 in 2017. Most people think the varroa mite kills the New zealand native bee but it only threatens the bumble and honey bee and does even hurt the native bee. Scientists also think the bees are disappearing due to pesticides and habitat loss. We love our native bees and we hope they are fighting for their life.

Native Bees are very different from the well known bumble and Honey bee but it's amazing how we still have our native bee alive and let's look after them so they can survive!
