Daffodil Reflection

This is my amazing daffodil art. It look lots of work and patience. I really like how mine turned out. We started our daffodil 3 weeks ago. We made 3 daffodils, a vase and borders. We coloured the 6 pieces of papers and dyed them 3 times. 1 was for our trumpet. 1 was for our petals. 1 was for our vase. Another was for our stem and 2 others were for our border.

 For our petals, we had draw a petal shape 18 times and cut it out. We glued the petals to the paper and made a daffodil. Next was to make the trumpet. We got one of the papers and drew a cylinder shape and cut it out. Later, we glued it together and cut the outside of the trumpet.

 We made our stem, by cutting half of it then we rolled it tight and glued it. While the glue was on, we had to hold the stems tight for 30 seconds. After I was done with the daffodil flowers, I was given 1 A2 sheet of black paper. I had to draw a border 2 cm wide. I had to do the same with my two background borders. I had rule the border up into 2cm strips.
I cut out the strips and ripped them into pieces to glue them on to make the border.

Overall, making the daffodils were very fun. I really liked how I did something different and unique. I really like the process of the daffodil, and I hope to do another one in the future.

Zoo Recount

On Friday 31st August, we went on a trip to the zoo. The first animal we saw were the otters. They were very small and cute. The otter’s area was very spacious and beautiful. In the Tiger's area, they were doing construction on the place to make it more entertaining for the animals and people. Later, we went into a gate and saw lots of Australian animals like the kangaroos, wallabies and the tasmanian devils. After that, we stopped for a little snack and watched the alligator.  After morning tea, we went into the classroom to find Polar bear and Lion skins. The man (Fraser) told us that the polar bear died because he was growing mould on him due to the temperature in Auckland.

Even though Polar bears are supposed to be living in cold weather, in Auckland it is very very Hot. That's how the mould came, so they decided to put the polar bear down. We got to touch their skin to feel what they felt like. He also showed us a real live kiwi egg in an incubator. After this, we headed to the NZCCM, (New Zealand, Centre for Conservation Medicine). It was a pet lab, where they helped out animals from the zoo and rescued animals too.

 In addition, while we were looking around, stopped to eat lunch. While we were eating lunch, we were watching the elephants play around and eating its food. As we were on our way to the african animals, we saw were the lions. The lions were sitting and resting.

Overall, the Zoo trip was pretty cool. My Favorite bit was when we went through the meerkat tunnel. It was pretty short but worth it. I hope next time when I go to the zoo, I could explore more and visit the newly constructed areas around the zoo.

Zoo Photo Slide

Today I decided to make a Zoo photo presentation. This was all our photos from our Zoo trip and our expirence with the animals!!

Child Labour

1 out of 5 children in Africa are in child labour. Child labour can be harmful by health, safety and A
ability to have a childhood. 246.4 Million kids perform dangerous child labour for addition with hazardous
conditions. All over the world, more than 24.6 million kids have performed child labour. Million’s of girls in
the world work as domestic services in an unpaid household. Some work in plantation’s and others work
in the livestock herding.

In Arab, 1 out of 32 children become people’s slaves. According to scientists studies they have shown
that, boys have a greater risk of child labour than girls. Out of 152 million, 88 million boys are in child l
abour and 64 million girls perform child labour too. In africa, 62.1 million kids get founded to perform child
labour. Also, 62.1 million in asia and pacific perform child labour. 4.1 percent of Central asia and Europe
are slaves.

Overall, I believe that child labour should not be happening. I think the children all around the should have
a chance to get a education and to get a life of their own.

The Mintie Challenge

The Mintie Challenge

Sayonara was the one that had the longest Mintie wrapper. It was 102 cm long. I think she had the
longest Mintie Wrapper because she took her time, she ripped small little pieces and she was very
patient. Nigel was the one that had the shortest wrapper. It measured 36.6 cm long. I think if Nigel was
patient enough like Sayonara, he would have got around the 50cm mark.  

Unfortunately, there were no same measurement in our class, but the closest measurement to each
other were 44.3 and 44.9cm. The most common measurements are the 40s and 50s. For the range, I
subtracted 34.5 to 102 which equals 67.5cm
