Issac's Rugby League

     RUGBY LEAGUE
            



In this writing I will be telling you why 
we should get more people to play rugby league.
Just this year Suburbs under 15’s had a combined
team with almost every team in the grade. This is
a problem that has affected New Zealand a lot with sports funding.
This is why I want to convince more people to play rugby league.




Firstly, Rugby league is a fast thinking sport that you can combine
brain and brawn to help win the game. Most people believe that
rugby league is too rough and it is all about trying to hurt the other
team but they are wrong! It is about teamwork and sportsmanship.
While it is rough and sometimes painful there is more chance getting
hurt in your car then there is playing league. 





 Secondly, Rugby league recently has had a massive drop in players
which means there will be less teams for people to play for. At this
rate soon their will only be a hand full of teams to play for. As you
can see if this happens then sports will vanish very quickly.
Rugby league can train you for many
different sports like soccer because you get
amazing leg strength and even mountain bike riding.
I belive that we should all play rugby league.





Thirdly, as technology grows less people take part in rugby league.
That is making more people turn to gaming or being non social which
is very bad for your mental health. As human beings we need human
interaction to live or everyone would be mentally unstable. This is why
we need more league players. 



  In conclusion I belive that we should be helping the league community to get more funding and more players to have more teams. Lets bring
back rugby league! 

The Crime Report

                                         TOKI POUNAMU 
                FILM FESTIVAL

Today we went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival. Each school made a small clip to show a bunch of different schools. My favorite one was when there was a robber who stole 2m💲 was found sleeping behind a shed and then ran away but was caught by two detectives.One angle that I really liked eas when they did wide screen with slow motion.

I really liked the idea of a news report about a robber who stole 2m💲at paroa school. The way it shot because it seemed like it was shot with a real camera.

I'm a kiwi on Google Drawing




We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?

My New Zealand Minibeast Report

We have been learning about 'minibeasts' in class as part of science. We have been creating informaiton reports on a minibeasts of our choice. The minibeast had to live in Aoteroa/NZ. I worked with Noah.

Flax Snail Report

Flax snails are native to New Zealand/Aotearoa. A flax snail is a gastropod which means it is cold blooded and they are also invertebrates which means they have no spine. Flax snails can grow up to 115 mm long. They have a large shell which protects them from predators. The shell is a dark green/kakariki and brown/parauri colour. They can grow up to 20 years old.


Habitat and location


Flax snails live in broadleaf forests and scrub on the top of the North Island of New Zealand. Baby flax snails live in trees 6 meters above the ground. Despite their name they do not eat flax or live in flax.


What Do They Eat?


A snail is an omnivore which means they eat plants and meat. The baby snails eat the microorganisms that grow on the leaves. They eat fallen leaves off trees and some other small insects, worms and even some other snails. They feed on karaka, kohekohe, and rangiora leaves. They have thousands of little teeth that are very sharp which makes it easy to eat their food.


Breeding 
They lay their eggs in the dirt or behind a rock. It will take about 2 or 4 weeks to fully develop. They lay 30 to 120 eggs. Each egg is 12 to 14 millimeters long. They live in big groups which keeps them safe from predators.


Threats

Some of their predators are flies, mites, millipedes, centipedes, some caterpillars, birds, fireflies, leeches and beetles. Beetles also eat their larvae.


This report was about flax snails. Thank you for looking at our work.
