Kauri Dieback

LI: To understand the story behind our flag

Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on hike at camp. I worked with Kane and we found it interesting that Kauri dieback disease is having a devastating effect on our kauri trees and the forest ecosystem that relies on them.

When The Disease is spreading the Tree Begins to fall and when it falls the Kauri Dieback Get out and the go find another Kauri Tree.

Sisters of the Secret Realms

 

Once upon a time, there were two sisters who had to be separated because they lived in a secret realm that was attacked. They took an autopilot plane and were meant to land together, but something went wrong. One sister landed in the water, while the other landed next to a castle. Ariel turned into a mermaid when she woke up, and Belle was found by a prince who was under a spell—whoever saw him thought he looked like a beast, but he was actually a wizard who had cast the spell himself. The spell could only be broken if he found true love. The realm was in a hidden place called The Troll, and it was attacked by their worst enemy, The Hole, known for creating the largest black holes in the world.

Ariel saw a wizard who could cast spells, and she asked him if he could help her find her siblings. When the wizard did his magic, she saw two brothers—one who looked like a prince and the other a beast. She was shocked because the beast was in the same place as her sister, Belle. Ariel was astonished to discover she had brothers, and surprisingly, the two brothers didn’t even know they were siblings.

Ariel asked the wizard if she could have a boat and legs. The wizard agreed but warned her that in 24 hours she would turn back into a mermaid. Ariel accepted, got her legs, and set off to find her brothers and sisters. Unaware of the challenges ahead, she encountered big waves and saw a boat with a man who looked like her brother. She revealed to the prince that they were siblings. Just then, they encountered a wizard who tried to strike them with lightning, but they needed to find their sibling quickly. Ariel wasn’t scared; she was amazing, and the prince was surprised at how well she could navigate the boat.

 

Fake New’s

This week on Thursday we had cybersmart, For Cybersmart we had to create a fake news, We had to options, The first one was a tablet, The secound one was a smartphone or phone. I picked the phone because of two resouns, The first resound was because I liked it, The secound reason was because no one really watches or reads the news on their tablet, That is why I picked a phone

The first thing that I had to do was make a copy and find out what I am going to do, I picked Aliens in peoples toilets because I think it would be good. The next thing that I had to do was to show my teacher, I showed my teacher and she read it and said to go and blog it.

I enjoyed making it up. I did well at making mistakes for the fake news. I need to improve on trying to make it look realistic.
