Spring rolls

 Today while the year 7's were at tech, the year 6's and I made fresh spring rolls, for the last 2 weeks on Friday mornings we have been learning about nutrition and the 6 things we need to keep us going, Vitamins,  Minerals, Carbs, Fats + Oils, Protein and most of all WATER!!

We made fresh spring rolls because they are healthier than deep-fried, deep-fried spring rolls are cooked in oil which makes them greasy.

The Olyimpics

  

                                     

Every four years, athletes from around the world gather to compete in events such as sprinting, long jump, gymnastics, BMX riding, swimming, and more as part of the Olympics. The first Olympic game was in 1896 held in Athens, Greece. The first-ever prize to be presented was an olive leaf crown/wreath, James Connelly won the triple jump which was known as the “hop, skip, jump”.

The ancient Greeks loved competitions of all sorts, each year they would hold big festivals of games and competitions which held honor towards the gods.

There are 2 different types of Olympics, the winter Olympics, and the summer Olympics. Since the Olympics started there have been 28 summer Olympics in 23 cities and 23 winter Olympics in 20 cities.

The 2020 Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to covid-19, they were held this year in 2021.

The approximate cost of the Tokyo Olympics 2021 was $12.6 billion dollars, however, due to the pandemic the cost has gone up to $15.4 billion dollars.

During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, two Japanese pole-vaulters tied in second place.  Instead of competing in the event again, they cut the silver and bronze medals in halves and fused them together. This was done so that each of them had a half silver and half bronze medal.

172 or more of the same people have appeared at the Olympics more than twice to compete in the Olympics, it is quite common for people to get hurt in the Olympics depending on what event they are competing in. In the 2020 Olympics due to covid-19 on day 6 people have already had to leave because they don’t want to be stuck in japan not being able to go home, the Olympics usually go on for 2-4 weeks.

Octopus Report

                                                         Octopus report

Octopodes are amazing human-like creatures, they are very intelligent and inquisitive and also famous for having 8 arms also known as tentacles. They are very soft and have no bones which makes it easy for them to squeeze through tight spaces, when they are captured by humans they can free themselves by squeezing through gaps. Here's a fun fact, the smallest gap an octopus can fit through is the size of a coin!

What do octopuses eat?

Octopi eat small crustaceans such as clams, small fish, shrimps, lobsters and sometimes they even eat other octopi. 

After the female octopus gives birth sometimes the mother and father octopi die to protect their baby and prevent them from eating the baby octopi, Octopus is serious cannibals they tend to eat their babies and sometimes other octopi.

Octopus have prey but also preditors, the preditors of an octopus are moray eels, seals and sperm whales they are the top 3 sea creatures octopi want to stay away from.

Where do octopi live?

Most octopi live in coastal marine waters around the united states also in any coastal marine waters around the world depending on the temperature of the water and the coziest place they can build and find dens.

Octopi like their water to be 59 to 61 degrees.`

Even though they like warm water they can also be found in cold waters anywhere around the oceans.

The life cycle of an octopus

The life cycle of an octopus has 4 stages - The egg, larva, jevenile the last part is the adult.

The egg and larva lasts for about 56 months at the most, the mother carrys the eggs for the 53-56 months and then births them.

It takes octopi 1-2 years to grow fully from a juvenile to an adult.

The 10 Great Walks In New Zealand

Today we did a brochure about the 10 Great Walks of New Zealand, Some of our class are away playing soccer and the class next to us, Taiao also has people away playing soccer so the kids that didn't go came to our class and we started doing a brochure.

I think my brochure is simple and easy to read and understand and it has most of the information you need to know about the walks.

Here is my 10 Great Walks of New Zealand Brochure.

Humpback Whales

 

Today our teacher gave us a task to learn about humpback whales, the year 6's in Whenua were in Naghere because the year 7's were at Polly Tech with William Pike.

Everyone in Naghere including the year 6's from Whenua made either a google doc or google drawing, I chose to do google drawing because I find it easier than docs.

Here is my blog post about humpback whales.
