Summer life

Kia ora,

Today I have been creating a poem about summer life. My poem is set in my favourite place. Can you guess what it is?

If you were wanting to write a poem I would  suggest writing one about something you know alot about so it's easier to get describing words.

A picnic outside a graveyard

 Kia ora,

Today I wrote a poem about when I was on my way to Hamilton and we stopped in Rotorua to have a picnic and soon we realised that we were having a picnic at a graveyard.

What's one of the weirdest things you've done before? I know that's close to the top of my list.

Well, I was in Rotorua. I have learnt that roto means lake in mario and I know that rua means two so rotorua means two lakes. I also learnt that there were other places with roto in the name like rotoma white lake and roto ete  small lake.

My Poem

  Kia ora,

Today i have been writing poems

To write a poem the first thing you need to do is choose a topic it can be about yourself, your favourite food or even a place or a season.

Once you have chosen your topic you need to think of some word to describe your topic like if it was a dog you might say furry or loyal.

I enjoyed writing poems because I think that it's really fun finding heaps of new words that you can use.

I found it challenging to find a topic for the poem.

surfing with the jellyfish

 Kia ora

Today i have been surfing at Makorori beach. 

At the beach there were heaps of weird jellyfish canes and huge jellyfish about the size of both of you. They especially looked very cool because they had little blue strikes coming out of them. 

So inspired by this I have written a poem about it.

For my poem I have picked a background that makes the words stand out on the page.

This was a really fun thing to do because I got to experience what I wrote in my poem myself.

How long will it take

 Kia ora,

How long will it take?

How long will it take for that old candy raper you through on the ground to decompose?

Mabey 1 year mabey 5 nope it actually can take up to 20 years for one small candy wrapper to decompose and that's just one candy wrapper amagen how long it would take for a plastic bottle to decompose that can be up to 450 years that 130 more than you can count on your fingers.

So I went down to Midway beach and picked up over 20 pieces of rubis. There were plastic bottles, a bene, some lollie rapper, a packet of chips, a toy car and even a piece of a milk bottle and heaps more stuff.

So next time you go to a piece of rubbish on the ground think is it worth it.

The first thing I needed to do was build a structure to help me with this. I watched a video that taught me about bridges. Have you ever noticed a bridge that has sides that look like triangles? triangles are often used for building because if you put force on the pint it will not bend.

Buzy bees 🐝

 Kia ora,

Today I have been playing on minecraft bees.

On minecraft i got to learn heaps of interesting facts and i even got to decorate my own field with flowers and hives. 

Well doing this task i learnt about honey bees, worker bees, honey bees and mason bees. 

Worker bees collect pollen from flowers and then bring it back to the hive. 

Mason bees or jewel bees can be bright sparkle green,  blue or red.  

Unlike humans All bees have a hard outer shell called an exoskeleton. Bees have three main body parts: the head, the thorax and abdomen. Bees also have an open circulatory system meaning they don't have veins or arteries but rather all their internal organs are gathered in liquid, a mix of blood and lymphatic fluid.

I enjoyed learning about the bees especially mason bees and the cool colours the can bee
