Goal

 This week we had to come up with a goal to try to get to by the end of the term,we had to put something we are good at and something that we would like to get to. Here is mine 

Frogs

Frogs

Frogs are special animals because they can live on water and on land.They  like to hide in moist, damp places, and they don't like direct sunlight. You can find them near ponds, at the edges of swamps, and on river banks. Here is a live cycle of how they were born.

Tadpole Eggs

Tadpole Eggs also called as fertilized eggs and are laid by female frogs normally around 2 to 12 get laid at a time. They are little jelly clear round balls with one black dot in the middle of it, they float on water in about clusters of 45 also called mass. Some Tadpole eggs can take up to 8 mouths but most take 6 to 8 weeks.

Tadpoles

Once they form into tadpoles they grow a little bigger and kidda look like little fish on clear jelly,well… at least I think that. When it forms it grows grills that allow it to breath underwater. The tadpoles can only swim and eat for the start. They eat the plants that are underwater, after a while it forms lungs so it can breathe out of the water when it becomes a frog. It also forms little fragile legs and a really long tail. It forms legs so that it can leap instead of all ways swimming. 

Young Frogs

After 14 long weeks It finally forms into a frog. Now it has 4 legs and the tail becomes shorter,and only has a little stub left. When it is young it leaps out of the water for the first time to. Also when it is young it eats nothing… Imagine eating nothing for days.

Adult Frog 

This is when the frog's tail completely disappears and it eats insects insead of plants and water. The young frog will grow for about 2-4 years to become an adult. The adult frogs then lay their eggs and more tadpoles hatch and begin the cycle again!

And that is how a tadpole turns into a frog. I hope I teach you a thing or 2 about a life cycle of a frog.

Here is my expatiation writing on frogs.

Matariki

Here is a DLO on were you can find the 7 Matariki stars.

Matariki

This week we have been forcing on Matariki here is some things I found out.

Report writing

New Zealand


New Zealand is a tourist country. It has about 367,958 tourist visits each year, It also has a nickname, named as NZ. Nz is a nice country to come and look at the amazing landscape. It is also known for their Maori culture and the famous national rugby team.





Landscape


There are 2 parts of New Zealand the South Island and the North Island. The North Island is bigger but on a map it looks smaller. There are many landscapes in both Islands the most popular one is in The southwestern corner of New Zealand South Island and it is called Milford Sound you can see the bright blue sea and cliffs that are thousands of feet high. Did you know that New Zealand is coming more popular for movies because of all of the cool landscapes that are getting found here.





Maori culture


The Maori culture is a big part of New Zealand Because the Maoris are the one who found New Zealand. So Maori is the history of NZ. There are many stories on how they found it. People say that it is really Important to learn te ora Maori when you're at school so that it doesn't become extinct to Nz when we are older.





National Rugby Team


Since 1903 New Zealand have taken part in the worldwide Rugby competition.New Zealand has won 3 world cups in They won in 1987 2011 in 2015 and tied with South Africa and most other Countries. In 1905 nickname is it all blacks Squad.And no one knows how they came by that title.





Although New Zealand has some bad World Records they also have really good ones. I would recommend coming to visit some day and going to see some of the landscapes and maybe finding out some more about the Rugby World Cup and the history.






Here is my second writing on report writing i did it on Nz please leave a helpful comment on what i did good and what i could do better.

Primary School

Primary School


School is a safe place to go to learn How to do maths,

writing and reading while your parents are working.

You are at school for 8 years from age 5 to 12-13.

You can also change schools anytime you want during the 8 years.

In a school there are classrooms, playgrounds and libraries.





Classrooms


A classroom is where all the kids get Separated into year groups.

Some schools only have 10 Children at them and some have

Thousands of children at them. So it depends on how many

children are at that school, how many classes there are at that

school.





Playground


Nearly every school has at least 1 playground, some even have 2

or more. Playgrounds with 2 or more normally have a big playground

and a little playground. The big playground is for the older kids and

the little playground is for the younger kids.





Library

Some libraries have magazines that you can read. Normally your

class goes there once a week to get books out and return books.

If you are a year 4 or up you can get 2 books out but if you are a

year 3 down you can only get 1 out.

school at 5 years old but some start a 4 turning 5. You finish

school at age 12 or 13 depending on when they're birthdays are.

Most kids leave at 12 years old though.





Schools are a good place to go and find friends and learn how to do things.
