The strength of a thousand. By Katie

 Since she was young,Kate had known she was different to normal people. It was only now though that her true powers were beginning to be realised. 

"WHY MUM" Kate screams "BECAUSE I SAID SO" Kate's mum says, Kate storms off into her bedroom with the door slammed shut and locked behind her and starts to cry. "We cant keep her in this house for eternity" her dad speaking to her mum, "I know but, how are we going to let her out into the outside world" her mum speaking back to her dad. Kate comes out of her bedroom and sneakily makes her way to the front door only to discover that it was locked.When she thinks she should give up she sees the keys on the bench,then an idea pops up in her head. "Can I have a cookie" Kate asks "ok" says her mum, as Kate reaches for the cookies she snatches the keys on the bench then creeps away to the front door again and unlocks it. "KATE NO" says her parents,Kate steps outside and feels a slight breeze,in the distance she can see a car collision about to happen,but she looks back at the house and can see her parents charging at her like angry bulls. She runs as fast as she could to the car collision and picks up both the cars that were hurdling toward her. Everyone was clapping and saying she had the strength of a thousand. From then on her parents allowed her to prevent crimes like robbery,kidnapping and many other things. She from then was known as WONDER WOMAN.

Octopus

Hello everyone, today I will be talking to you about octopus. In this information report you will hear about different types of octopus,their habitat,their predators, and their prey. They are an 8 legged sea creature and are extremely intelligent, they are amazing escape artists.  

Habitat:

Octopuses live in many different parts of the ocean. Octopuses live in coral reefs and kelp forests,octopus tend to prefer warmer water,meaning they like to live in the sunlight zone. They also live in tidal rock pools where they can disguise themselves as oddly shaped rocks to capture prey. Octopus have no skeleton so they can squeeze themselves into small and tight spaces.                                                                                           

Species:                                                                                     

There are a lot of different octopus all around the world. Some species of octopus are rarer than others,different species live in different environments such as the pressure as you get deeper in the ocean. Her e are some types of octopus: Blue ringed octopus, Giant pacific octopus, Common octopus, and Caribbean reef octopus. There are 300 species of octopus here are some more: Mimic octopus, Coconut octopus,Blanket octopus and California two-spot octopus.

Predators:

Octopus have a range of predators. Like Seals, Conga eels, Sea otters, Moray eels, Dolphins, Sperm whales and Sharks. Octopus are so intelligent they have different ways of defending themselves, they swim head first and in times of danger they can expel themselves out of water.

Prey:

Octopus eat a lot of different sea creatures. Octopus have venom and different octopus have different levels of toxicity ( which means they can kill their prey easily ). Octopus feed on crabs,clams,snails,small fish and other octopus. Octopus are one of the most intelligent creatures to catch their prey.

Ideas about the topic:

Octopus have three hearts and nine brains, one brain in their head and one in each tentacle. Their age in the wild is 1-2 years old. Towards the end of the females life she will get hungry enough to eat the male.

Conclusion:

So I really hope that you enjoy this post about octopus and hope you learnt more. This post was a bit of a tricky one but thanks for reading.

So this is my post about octopus, and first everyone researched and made a poster in groups. Then we all made a plan with subheadings,topic sentences and explanation boxes. After we did that everyone made a post like this on their blog. So make sure to check out everyone's blogs in whenua and see what they have done. Thanks for reading bye.

The 10 great walks in NZ.

 

Today whenua and part of taiao did the weekly quiz, one of the questions was about the great walks in NZ. so Ms. Farr made us a deal and said if we finished this by the end of next block then we get to pick what we want to do for the next 2 blocks. So here it is. I had a lot of pressure on my back as I was nearly finished but so was the time. Hope you enjoy and maybe visit some of these places in NZ.

Humpback whales.

Kia ora,

Today all the year 6 students in whenua ( our class ) got put into Ngahere ( another class ). Ms Farr was teaching that class so she set us to work to do some research on humpback whales. We had to answer these questions

Where they live

What they eat

Body parts

Adaptations

I also put some fun facts in there. I did as much research as I could because we got a time limit. To get the whale picture/drawing was hard because I had to search up humpback whale drawing which I didn't know to do that first, then I just labelled it.

Hope you enjoyed

Bye everyone.

Silhouette art.

Today we did art, we draw over silhouettes and then draw lines on the paper not through the picture though, next we coloured the silhouettes in with pastel next the background. Then outline everything in black. Hope you enjoy.
