My Trip To Travis Wetlands

On Rapare 22 Here-Turi-Koka the tuakana from Ata Hapara went by van to Travis Wetlands.

We were met by Pete a C.C.C. environmental educator. 
I learnt about how the food chain works and about the bugs and birds that live in the Wetlands. I went catching them with a sieve, using the figure eight method. I identified and caught in my tray: 1 Water Boatman, 2 mites and 6 Water Fleas. We went bird spying and identifying and I saw: 2 Canada Geese, 6 Pukeko, 13 Mallard ducks and 1 Black swan. We also learnt how the wetlands are a bed and breakfast, sponge, sieve, airport and nest to all birds. It is a bed and breakfast for birds because they can have a nap and have a snack, it is a sponge because it absorbs and releases water to stop floods, it is a sieve because it cleans the water, it is an airport for birds because birds can land here, have a snack and take off and it is a nest because birds can mate and have their babies here. I enjoyed bug catching because I love catching bugs! soon we had to leave, when we got back to school I hoped we could return soon the end.

Take Care Of Your Chromebook!

This term me and my class are learning how to care for our chromebooks,

This slide show is an example of what happens when a drink spills on your chromebook.

It was hard to make the water and the rest was easy. My No Drink animation when we were working on chrome book safety,

first I started with simple shapes then added more and more detail finally it was done.

Beep Test Reflection

For the past 2 weeks the tuakana have been working on our taha tinana. I have completed 2 fitness tasks. The beep test and wall sit. I achieved a level 1-1 because I was confused whether it had started or not during my first attempt, I got a level 4-1 on my second. My goal for this week is to get a level 4-8. For the wall st my record is 55 seconds.
