Facts about the Arctic Fox

• Arctic foxes change the color of their fur with the seasons. In winter they are white to blend in with the snow, while in the summer they change to brown.
• Alopex lagopus is the scientific name for the fox
• Lemmings are what arctic foxes eat mostly and they will eat anything they can find.
• When the Arctic fox hears an animal under the snow, it leaps into the air and pounces, breaking through the layer of snow right onto the prey beneath

FIRST DAY BACK AT SCHOOL!!

As I happily entered my classroom on Monday morning from a two week holiday, I briskly chucked my bag at my desk and went to see my friends. It was the first day back at school and the last term of 2015. At 8:30am the year 7 and 8’s had to sit in the street for the karakia and himene. Soon after that we headed to the Hall for our Immersion assembly, I didn’t put my shoes on and it had been raining therefore my socks were soaked!!

After a couple minutes of waiting excitedly, Mr Burt our principal greeted us and told us that this term we are learning about survival and adaptation. Then he showed us a movie he made about an extinct bird called the Fia Poko Parrot and it was  really annoying that the people of the town got a Fia Poko hunter to hunt it down. It was Hilarious!!! Next we had team 1 teachers come and  tell us what they are learning about this term and they are learning about how animals adapt. They also had a karaoke competition where they had to sing ROAR by Katy Perry and  a year 3 named Mirka won and she got a  prize that was a free trip to go to the Zoo with team 1.

Team 2 was up next and they are learning about dinosaurs. The teachers of team 2 showed us a movie they made. They also had someone dress up as Barney and picked random kids to shake Barney’s hand and give him a hug too. It was pretty cool. Team 3 came up and they told us that they were learning about dinosaurs and they are going to make up their own type of dinosaurs. The teachers had already made their dinosaurs. There was Bossareptor, Musslesaurs, Manosaurs and Discosaurs are the dinosaurs  I can remember from Monday.  

Then we had team 4 and their teachers explain to us that they were learning about animals and their habitats. They had also made a movie where there were 4 kids in a green screen room and they had to guess what animal was behind them and  where they were. It was so funny watching them! The Final team was team 5 and the teachers performed a skit about adapting. Where they had a competition of who could finsh a plate of noodles in 30 seconds using chopsticks. Miss Clark won because her family used chopsticks all the time but Mrs Peato had never used chopsticks before and never had to. Then Mrs Hockly said she went to Japan so she had to adapt to using chopsticks because it was part of the Japan culture.

In the end I enjoyed being back at school and my favourite had to be team 4 and their movie. I can’t wait to learn more about adaptation and sense this is the last term of the year I will try and make sure this is the best term ever!!!

GEG Student summit

Last week on Wednesday the Year 8 and 7 extension group went to Hobsonville school for the Google educator group student summit (or GEG for short) where we had to present something to the other students that came. There were lots of other students presenting they all had there own stations. We traveled a long way to get there.

Hobsonville school is a really flash looking school and is really big. First we went inside and there was a woman who told us to follow the boys outside where we got goody bags with name tags, note books, pens and a small bag of chips. We got to decorate our name tags with stickers and markers after that we went into the Mobile Learning center which was full of technology stuff like computers and Ipads that you can draw on with a pen.

The first presentation we went to was the play dough and makey makey were we all had wires, a Computer and play dough each where we had to go on Scratch were you can make stuff like video game.Next we had to make sounds on scratch and then we got to make something with play dough  and I made a snowman named Willy then we got the wires and the makey makey and connected the wires to the makey makey which was connected to the computer and when we connected the wire to Willy the snowman it made the sound we made on Scratch play. It had to be my favorite presentation I had lots of fun.




Morning tea was next and after that we went  to a presentation about what are some of the google apps. They told us to write what was those google apps for. While we did that the other group was presenting what was P.E.N.N which stands for Point England News Network. We had lunch after that and we got to play tag on the on park it was really fun and when it was time to go inside it was our turn to present. our presentation was about how to use google apps like google docs and google slides. It was really nerve wreaking but I did it. 


The last thing we did was see a presentation about How to use Blend space. Which is  a site where you can create digital lessons. They also made presentations about all sorts of subjects that they made on blend space. Over all I had I great time at Hobsonville school it so cool I learnt some very interesting stuff and when after everything we did on that day we went into the gym where we had to put our name tags in the bags and take a seat. They started to do a raffle and there was lots of prizes to win and as peoples names were being called out for prizes name was called out and I got a 20 dollar voucher for Dextech! I so was excited and I just loved every moment that I spent at the summit. I hope I get to go again.

Tiritiri Matangi Recount

Last week on Wednesday the year 7 and 8 Extension group went to Tiritiri Matangi Island to look at Biodiversity and the animals that live on the island. We had to get up early to get to school for the trip because we had to leave at 8:00am. My alarm woke me up at 6:25 but it took me 5 minutes to get out of bed as I was so cozy. After Breakfast I packed my lunch and got dressed in mufti.

My mum  and I got in the car and drove to Khaia's house to pick her up and take her to school with me. We got to school around 7:30 and walked to the creative space  where Taimana and Mrs Lagitupu were. Mrs Lagitupu told us to take a water bottle and put our names at the bottom.

We got on the shuttle bus at 8:00am and went to Auckland city and got on the ferry to Tiritiri Matangi island. After 1 hour and ten minutes on the ferry we got on the Island and split up into our groups and went with a tour guide.

First we went to see the Little Penguins or Blue Penguins and they lived in little burrows made of rocks. Then we went on a walking track through the forest. The second bird we saw was a little FanTail or in maori ‘Piwakawaka’. It followed us and the Tour Guide said the fantails like humans because when we walk we make vibrations in the ground which make the insects come out and the fantail loves to eat insects.

Five Facts I learnt about Tiritiri Matangi

1. Birds like to drink raw sugar and water mixed together
2. Tiritiri Matangi used to be a farm
3. There is a thing called a Weta Motel
4. That there are no pests/predators on the whole island
5. The Takahe is  an endangered species (looks like a Pukeko)

We saw lots of different kinds of birds and plants like the Bellbird and StitchBird and when we got to the end of the track we saw the light house. We went to the courtyard to have lunch, then we all went up to see the light house and the view was amazing and we also saw a Family of Takahe.

I really enjoyed the trip and learnt lots of things about the Island and what lives on it. I will never forget the trip.
