I am a Year 8 student at Tamaki Primary School in Auckland, NZ. I am in the Kia Manawanui syndicate and my teachers are Mr Janse and Ms Schellingerhout.
Kia Ora viewers, welcome to my blog! This is a DLO I've created about Biosecurity. Biosecurity is all about protecting our environment from pests, if you don't know what pests are they are animals that destroy our habitat.
Predator Free 2050 85 million years ago NZ was one of the first countries to split apart from Gondwanaland. Gondwanaland is when all the land in the whole Earth was together in one big country - they split up and became the continents. This meant that the only mammals NZ has, either swan here or flew here.
Because NZ is an island with no mammals, the birds, insects etc became defenseless (because they had no predators to hide from). Maori and Europeans settlers killed lots of animals, and brought with them predators from other countries (for example possums, rats, stoats, dogs).
Those predators brought here by settlers, have destroyed our native birds/plants. NZ has one of the worst extinction records of any nation in the world.
NZ has been trying to control the pests by using traps, poisoning but it hasn’t really worked. We need to work together to control the pests.
It is everyone’s responsibility to control pests and protect native species - all New Zealanders.
This is a presentation I've created about my Hauora. A hauora is about your health and well-being. It has 4 dimensions which are Taha Tinana, Taha Wairua, Taha Hinengaro and Taha Whanau.
Malo e Lelei, welcome to my blog. My name is Falakika and I am a year 8 student at Tamaki Primary School. I am Tongan, Samoan and Niuean. My favorite band is Seventeen. My favorite sports are netball and basketball. I have a brother and sister. My hobbies are to sing and to draw. My goals for this year is to be more confident and to speak louder. I am good at spelling and maths. I enjoy learning more strategies about maths and being with friends. I admire Michael Jordan because when there is something he wants to achieve he always tries his best and he never gives up. He also inspires me because he creates quotes that are very inspiring for example one of my favorite quotes from his is “I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed”. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Today I was told to create a DLO about some stage 7 maths strategies I understand and know how to do. So here are the strategies I've chosen to show examples of.
