The Day of Athletics...

Yesterday, 28th of November we did Athletics in our school. Some of the things that we did was, sprints, long distance high jump, shot put, discuss and long jump; of course we also had rest time. All/most of the students, from junior to senior participated in every sport, we all showed resilience when things got hard for me I think the hardest ones we're the jumping sport because I don't really jump that high or long. But I did do a pretty good job at the high jump, sprint, shot put and discuss.

Deadly snakes

 Introduction

    Deadly snakes

Kia Ora my name is Shanarnia. Have you ever heard of snakes? If you haven't heard about snakes I can tell you about snakes. Like what they eat and where they live and how they grow and how they have baby .

How they grow?             

Do you know that snakes can grow up to  3.9 metres or be as short as 10 centimeters long. The largest snakes can reach up to 9 meters.                                                                                  

Where they live?

 Do you want to know where snakes live? I will tell you where snakes live they live in Greenland, Australia, UK and America, Mexico.

What does a snake eat?

Do you want to know that Snakes can eat any animal. Snakes eat eggs, birds, rodents, deer, pigs and people.

How can snakes have baby?

Female snakes produce young about twice per year. In some species babies are born alive. Other species lay eggs. Snakes can have anywhere from one to 150 baby snakes at a time.

How can snakes hear?

Snakes have no visible ear, so they don't hear sounds as we do. But it's not quite right to say that snakes are deaf. They have vestiges of the apparatus for hearing inside their heads, and that setup is attached to their jaw bones, so they feel vibrations very well and may hear low-frequency airborne sounds.

How snakes move?

Snakes have four ways of moving around. Since they don't have legs they use their muscles and their scales to do the "walking". Serpentine method: This motion is what most people think of when they think of snakes. Snakes will push off of any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc, to get going.

Snakes jaw?

The jaws of the snake are not fused together.  That means that unlike our jaws, snake jaws are not connected at the back of their mouths.  This makes it possible for them to eat very big meals, bigger than their own heads!  That would be like you swallowing a whole watermelon!

If you had your mouth full of a watermelon, do you think you could breathe?  Not likely!

Snakes can.  They have a little tube at the bottom of their mouth that comes out far enough to get air when the rest of their mouth is full.

In conclusion

Some people don’t like snakes because they bite you so hard. They  swallow you down like a big  watermelon. I love snakes because they eat any animals like  for example pigs or deer.

Some people from different Islands they like to eat snakes. I haven’t try a snake before but I would like to try one.

BOLD

W.A.L.T Read the instructions then we are going to teach you how to play BOLD.
This week and the past few weeks we learnt how to play some games. We got some games from the Warehouse. Because the Warehouse donated some money to us so we can buy some games. So our teacher decided to buy some games for us to play with. We just wanted to say thank you to the Warehouse people. Me and Khaylanie decided  to play a game that we haven't played yet. So we picked a game called BOLD because it looked really cool.

Last day of Canterbury Swim School

Today is the last day for swimming lessons at Canterbury Swim School. We had to put clothes on in the pool. Then we had to take our clothes off in the pool but we had out togs underneath. This showed us how heavy our clothes would get if we fell in the water.

We also tried saving people using noodles. In my team I had Meleana. She was pretending  to drown in the water. I wan't to achieve blow under water.
