 In our reading group, our learning has focussed on New Zealand innovators and inventors.

I chose to learn about Alan John Hackett and bungee jumping

Check out the presentation I made using Canva!

My New Zealand Innovators and Inventors

 In our reading group, our learning has focussed on New Zealand innovators and inventors.

I chose to learn about who created pavlova first (NZ VS AUSTRALIA)

I found out that New Zealand made pavlova first but Australia was the first to make there own version. So it depends who you think was the first to make the yummy treat.

MY INVENTORS AND INOVATORS

 In our reading group, our learning has focussed on innovators and inventors.

An innovator is a person who introduces new methods, ideas, or products.

Kids can be inventors too. I found out that Benjamin Franklin made hand paddles at twelve (we now call them flippers).

I would like to invent booster boots (they are boots that make you bounce 10 meters!).

My Amazing Game Froot

Today we were using canva to make gifs.

It was fun because we got to do it ourselves.

It was challenging to make the words but I got there in the end.

I can't have the GIF on my blog because of a problem but you can see how I made this by clicking on the link and starting the gif up. NOTE to start the GIF up click on the stomp button and watch the magic happen.

under water kingdom

 In our literacy group, our learning has focussed on the underwater kingdom.

An interesting thing about Great White Sharks is they have 300 teeth!!!

Penguins only live in the southern hemist ther

Marine Reserves are important because they protect and help sea creatures like turtles.

I think the Lost City of Atlantis is fake although it could have sunk in the Bermuda triangle.

The Sea And Me

 In our literacy group, our learning has focussed on the sea.

An interesting thing about dolphins is When you do something easy a like a wave they will be like hey i can do that do and they might wave back.

Marine Biologists study fish and and other creatures that live in the ocean.

Shellfish are important to the sea because They clean the sea floor.

Seaweed is amazing because we have lots of species native to New Zealand and a 3rd of them cannot be found anywhere else.

Kakapo The old night parrot

In our literacy group, we have been learning about Endangered Animals in New Zealand.

I chose The Kakapo because it is very native and critically endangered.

They are endangered because of plastic, predators and diseases.

An interesting thing that I learned was There are only 201 Kakapo left.

To help endangered animals, I think we could keep our rubbish with us or throw it in the bin or put lots of rat, ferret, mouse and anything that wants to eat the eggs or carrys diseases with them put traps down for them.
