The big wave

 The big wave

When you're just a little girl the ocean is as big as the universe.

I thought I'd never be able to do what my sister and her friends could do. They could swim unguis the humongous waves.  

As I walked towards the colossal waves. My heart was jumping out of my chest like a frog.

So I was in the deep cloudy water as the waves got bigger into  enormous as big as the sun.!! 

When I got out of the water I sprinted to my mum on the beach because when you're just a 2 years old girl the ocean looks as big as the universe.

today i was writing a story about a time i was frightened.

i found it hard to pick a time i was scared because i am always scared.

i enjoyed writing it because i got to larf about what i was scared of.

next time i think i don't need to do anything.

Faith poster

 

            today we were learning about faith and how to make a poster about it.

I enjoyed making the poster because i got to draw, and i love drawing.

I didn't find anything hard because it was easy.

Next time i think i could get a better photo because you can't read the whiting.  

speech

 

today we were taking videos of are speeches.

i enjoyed videoing my speech because i got to go outside.

 i found it hard to say  y speech because i was nervous.

next time i will take a better video because it was not good quality.

Orcinus Orca

 The Orcinus orca is one of the biggest members in the dolphin family. They also swim in pods mostly of 40. They are also known as the king of the sea. They also weigh up to 6 tons(5,443 kilograms).

Orca are black and white. They have huge teeth to catch fish and other things. They have a flexible tail and they have fins like dolphins. They look a bit like magpies and are cheeky like them too. Orca don't have normal ears like we do, they have echolocation. So they can connect with their friends and their pods. Orcas also have brilliant eye sight to see their prey. 

Orca live worldwide in the ocean. Sometimes offshore and in cold water and Antarctic water too. Most of the time they live in tropical places with dark blue seas and sometimes in clear waters.

Orca are carnivores. They like to eat seals, fish and squid. They have to come up for air like dolphins and they can hold their breath for a long long time. Orca have a motion of swimming up and down like whales.

Orcas need to be protected because they were around when the dinosaurs lived on earth. They are one of the kings of the sea and I think that they need to be looked after.

 

today i was learning about how to write a creature report.

I enjoyed choosing the topic because i got to do do my favorite animal which is an Orca.

i found it hard to find the facts about them because i didn't know that much.

Next time i don't think i can do anything better.

3 sacraments of initiation

                                     today i was learning the 3 sacraments of initiation at school.

                                    i enjoyed making it because i got to used wevideo.

                                      i found it hard to to right the  script because i had to 

                                        learn the 3 sacraments of  initiation.

                                     next time i think we could add what the sacraments ment.

 

Dolphins are endangered

 

I was learning how to right a speech in class

I enjoyed writing my speech because I liked convincing people to save dolphins.

I found it hard to research the facts because I had to research them.

I don't think I can do anything better.

Haven't you always longed to see majestic dolphins jumping through the crystal clear water? Well I have and have even been lucky enough to see them in real life, in England. Dolphins habitat is becoming more crowded by boats, they are hunted in Japan and they are getting tangled in fishnets.  They are the most amazing animal in the ocean and I believe we need to act now and save these unique creatures. 

According to the department of conservation New Zealand is the marine capital of the world. There are 42 species of whales and dolphins in NZ.  Dolphins swim in pods mostly of 40 with there family but sometimes they are separated from their pods by fishing boats. Dolphins love to jump close to boats and swim underneath them, although this would be amazing it can be dangerous for the dolphins sometimes. I strongly urge you to be aware of dolphins when on a motor boat. If you see a pod of dolphins it is best to keep your speed to a minimum and no wake allowed within 300 meters of the pod.  So  please make sure you approach dolphins slowly and with care. 

Secondly, Hunting dolphins is not okay. Japan hunts and kills dolphins for food. It is pretty brainless as you will get poisoned by their meat. It contains mercury that is not meant to be eaten. I think that people should stop killing dolphins for their meat because it is harsh and unintelligent. 

Finally, when people go fishing their fishing nets go in the dolphins path and they get tangled in it. Imagine getting taggeld and struggling to get out and seeing your whole pod swimming off without you. When they get caught they get stuck because they can’t swim. They can't catch any food. They can’t go up for air. So they struggle and eventually die. This is torture. They are innocent creatures and they deserve to live an enjoyable life.

In conclusion, there is no question that dolphins need to be saved. Their habitats are becoming more crowded by boats, they are hunted in Japan and they are getting tangled in fishnets. We need to think about what we are doing and every move we take. Dolphins are very smart but many are becoming or are already endangered, so we need to act now. The sea and the animals that live in it is one of God’s greatest given gifts so we need to protect the ocean and its creatures.

Teeth

Teeth
The rippled water was squishing against the old man's dingy. That was floating the peaceful lake. The green trees were pointing up to the misty sky. They looked at each other in silence. There fishing rods were in between them tugging fish at the other end. A cold breeze swished past them. They could hear the water from the lake moving towards the mountains it was peaceful and quiet.

Swimming Sports

Splash! I dived down into the Enterprise pool, like a dolphin. My arms were like a motor going around and around. I turned on my side and gasped for air, like I haven’t breathed in 100 years. I turned my head down. I saw the bubbles up ahead like little jellyfish. I Knew I must be close, so my arms went faster, they became like propellers. I stretched them out like a rubber band and touched the wall. 

Drip, drip, drip went the drops off my togs, whilst I got out. I could taste the strong chlorine water off my l
ips. Beeeep! went the timer. I saw the other race. They zoomed past me like bullets in the clear water. I sat
down in the finals, I knew I could do it.
