Mascot para team

 

Hello today I had to design a mascot for the paralympic team in tokyo it was actually competition but they had already chosen the winner so I was doing it for fun. My mascot was hard to make because I did out of shapes on google drawing. I hope you enjoy this post!  

History of the Paralympics

Before the 1964 games japan had a low awareness for the disabled, who would if unfortunate enough be put to live alone out of society and were challenged with barriers of eating out, jobs, education, and public transport. The first official (through small) paralympic games did not start in 1964 but instead the rome games of 1948 the paralympic games first started with Dr Ludwig Guttmann who started a spinal clinic in the stoke mandeville hospital just after the war had ended leaving many soldiers strapped to wheel chairs in the summer games of rome in the opening Dr Guttmann organised 18 athletes to attend  this small stoke mandeville games 17 injured soldiers and one woman, little did they know that this stoke mandeville games would turn into something of a global succession. In 1964 with now 375 physically disabled athletes attending the stoke mandeville games they now needed perismision money and help to organise them. So Dr Guttmann held several meetings with Nakamura Yutaka who even visited the hospital in Britain. Finally both men agreed and persuaded others to hold the first official  paralympics in Tokyo Japan a week after the Olympics ended. The paralympics had a big effect on disabled people in japan just a year after the 1964 paralympic games japan had created their own Para sport committee to manage all Para sports in the country soon after that an inventor called Seiichi Miyake invented tenji burokku ( tecial paving) to aid those with visual impairment which is a tile  now used worldwide.        

For this activity we had to read a text on the history of the paralympic games history and how it had effect on the disabled population of japan. Then we had to summarize and put it into our own words I hope you enjoy and learn lots from my paragraph!      

 

Aerospace engineer

 

Hi! Today I am finishing off my T-shaped literacy jobs! For this task I read a supporting text on a Aerospace engineer I also read a created a profile on a museum curator. For both of these I had to put What the job is, Personal requirements for the job specific requirements and what do get paid. The easiest part of this task was adding in how much you get paid in the job. I hope you enjoy this post!     

Five jobs

 Medical doctor:

Facts

A medical doctor or GP (general practitioner) works in the hospital assisting the nurses and working late hours. It takes 11 years to become a proper doctor. After your bachelor degree you will work in the hospital in your first three years as a junior doctor. Working as a doctor is a very demanding job but it often makes people feel good knowing they have helped someone. Doctors are paid by the government and get about 92,000 dollars a year.  

How they were affected by the covid crisis 

Doctors were affected by covid by crushing depression effects as well as a nationwide shortage  of hospital supplies. Because many doctors work shifts late into the night they also become exhausted.  

Farm worker

Facts

Farming is the backbone of New Zealand without them our economy would be dead, our farms provide us with: milk, meat, cotton, wool eggs, apples, pears, berries, wine, nuts… The list goes on. For farming you don’t need any specific entries but it is best if you know the basics, having a family farm can be easily good for this.

How were they affected by the pandemic?

Farmers all over the country were affected by covid 19 a shortage of ships from overseas bringing in feed for the winter days or when the grass was all eaten. So this year farmers instead of depending on other contrys they had to bail their hay much earlier than usual.

Veterinarian

Facts

Veterinarians vets work with sick or injured animals to help them feel better. Vets get paid around 67,000 dollars. If you become a vet the hours that you work can be long and unsocial with animals biting and scratching. 

How were they affected by coivd?

Vets all over the country were flooded with sick and injured pets as well as homeless kittens that nobody wanted to take into their home. With their cages up to full capacity some cats even had to be left on roads.   

Midwife 

Facts 

Midwives are nurses who especially look after new born baby’s in the first six weeks of the baby's life. To become a midwife you must complete a bachelor;s degree of midwifery. Midwives get paid around 49,000 each year. 

How were nurses impacted by corniviras?

Midwives like nurses and doctors struggled with the crisis by dealing with a nationwide population growth as well as many midwives retiring, even now there still is a storage of midwives around the country. 

Chef 

Facts 

Chefs cook and prepare foods for restaurants, cafes and hotels without them having these businesses is impossible. There are no specific requirements to become a chef and if you love food and are good at cooking you could have the chance to open your own restaurants.

How were they affect by the crisis 

Many chefs around the country retired in the crisis due to the Lockdown where all their customers dried up. Even the chef that survived the crisis still didn’t have the businesses they did before. 

Hello everyone welcome to my blog, over the past two days we have been looking at jobs!, this does not mean we are choosing jobs for the rest of our life or we can't change what we want to be It just means we are doing a little study on jobs. Today we had to read an artificial on the top twenty jobs in new Zealand and choose five to write some facts on and how they were affected by coivd 19. I hope you enjoy this post!

  

Octopus information report

Introduction

Octopi is an eight-legged animal with the brain in each leg. Octopuses or octopie are intelligent and tricky creatures that lurk under the surface of the ocean. In this information report about octopus, you will find ordered with a subheading, topic sentence facts on an octopus habitat, predators, different species, and prey.  

Habitat

Octopuses live in many different places under the ocean. 

Octopi can be found in kelp forests and sometimes coral reefs. Octopi tends to prefer waters meaning they live in the sunlight zone. They can also live in tidal rockpools where using their soft body they can disguise themselves as oddly shaped rocks.  Octopi also has no skeleton so they can squeeze into tight places. 

Predators

Octopi has a range of predators...

Here are some of the predators of an octopus: Seals, fish, conger eels, sea otters, moray eels, dolphins, many birds, sperm whales, and sharks. Octopi have clever ways to defend themselves against predators one of these is expelling themselves out of water when they are threatened.

Different species  

There are a lot of different species of octopus around the world.

There are 300 species of octopus, for example, some include the coconut octopus, blanket octopus, and the California two-spot octopus. Some species of octopus are rarer than others. Different species live in different environments such as the pressure under the sea. Here are some other species of octopus: blue-ringed, giant pacific, common, and Caribbean reef octopus.

Prey 

Octopuses eat a lot of different sea creatures.
Octopus feed on crabs, clams, snails, small fish, and sometimes even other octopus! Octopie is one of the most intelligent creatures in the sea to catch their prey. Octopie also has a source of venom and in one species (the blue-ringed octopus)  the venom is deadly to humans. 

In conclusion, the octopus is an intelligent and credible creature I hope you learned something new about the amazing creature by reading this report. 

Caption: Hello everyone I hope you are all well and welcome back to my blog! Over the past few weeks, we have been working in groups on an information report about octopus to work on topic sentences and paragraphs first we did a draft copy, and then we all did it separately on our blogs. I hope you enjoy this post! 

   

  

explaining suffix's

 

Today for spelling we had to make a DLO (digital learning object) about suffix's. The hardest part about this task was trying to explain some of the rules of suffix's such as the three syllable rule ( as I explain) I hope you enjoy this post!   

Having more trees

Hi my name is Lotte and want more trees around the town and country. Having trees around will: Help the environment, make greymouth and the country a more beautiful  popular spot and the health and safety benefits of having a tree around. I hope by the end of this letter that you will agree with me.  

The first reason I want more trees ids the endless benefits. Don't believe me? well here are a few: Oxygen in an hour one tree can provide enough oxygen for day for a family of four. Stress reliever having a bad day at work? The sight of a tree will instantly calm you down and finally energy saver trees can very naturally reduce energy by sucking it in through its bark. Barely any of these benefits can be found with out some how relating to trees. As you might agree with me trees have a lot of benefits that help the planet the other thing about this is they are a renewable resource, meaning they can never run out as long as action is taken by humans plants and animals.            

Trees are a sign of blooming and life anywhere in the world. Even as a city, Christchurch is full of trees, Hagley park and everywhere in between around the city, having trees around not just provides a very natural beauty but almost completely reduces fear and stress. This is one of the main reason Christchurch is a very peaceful coumtiy/ city. I my opinion this is a great move from the city officials because of popularity and comfort it has provided. As you might of noticed towns and city's with more natural beauty tend to be more popular for example: queenstown, lake tekapo, ect. 

As great as they are trees can cause some very bad accidents. The story of these accidents will often go something like this: a kid that has never probably seen a tree let alone climb one, next they will try and climb the tree...well you can imagine what happens next. So how do we fix this common problem without trees this question is very hard to answer, but with tree this is easy. We could even have half an hour long classes on tree climbing and planting trees to stabilise the future. Having one tree at our school I can tell you right now that you will find about one hundred kids from my school alone.   

In conclusion I want more trees to help build a better more sustainable future for me and the other children of today tomorrow. I hope after you have read this letter that you will now agree with me and take immediate Action to my requests.  

Sincerely Lotte     

           

Trees

Trees

By Daisy and Lotte

Without trees, we wouldn’t be able to survive because trees not only filter carbon dioxide they also make oxygen our bodies need this because we need oxygen to breathe in to pump out all the carbon dioxide in our bodies.

                                 

 Trees provide us a lot of supplies from their wood without trees we wouldn't have the number of things we have now, trees (coral) are even needed underwater, they do the same as job as the ones on land do except it’s in water, eg. provide shelter and supplies and filter the water as trees do in the air.

Trees provide birds with a place to build nests and eat food. Some trees give us the food we need to survive with e.g mangoes, apples, oranges, pears e.t.c Some trees have hollow basins that are filled with water. Some trees sap can be made into medicine. 

Trees and plants are also a HUGE part of ecosystems because they are producers taking them out would destroy the world they also take a big part of the biodiversity web ( it means a tangle of food chains and species)  for example if you introduce a new species to remove trees from an ecosystem the whole ecosystem would slowly die because they would not have enough food and they have increasing numbers of the induced species, that is why trees are so important.

The magic tree

The tree was all that remained. A solitary figure stood there in defiance of the destruction surrounding it. The bark had begun to peel away, one piece at a time, joining the wreckage of other trees that lay scattered across the scorched earth. This tree was different from the other trees. It contained magic. It contained hope...the other trees had been slashed to the ground helpless and moaning, maybe the pain of losing its friends made it stronger for many years humans were foolish and believed that trees had no feelings, not now, not any more humans had everything in ruins it all started with an evil family who vowed to destroy all creatures maybe even humans, a silk evil bloodstream of hatred ran in their blood, nothing could stop them on one fateful night two children were sleeping soundly their mind’s blissfully blank then suddenly they were awoken by a sudden rearing noise, they leaped out of bed there hearts full of horror and shock. Where their once was a forest there lay the wreckage of trees now only two remained, now went for the skinner of the two after a number of seconds, he was a goner. The children didn’t need to hear their cruel laughter to know how bad these people's hearts were. Feeling helpless the watch as they turned their attention to the last tree in the world, they lifted the ax up high but then… light slashed the horizon burning everything in its road the men fell back in pain and trees trunk uncurled revealing a secret passage with a magical greenish glow as if a magic magnet was dragging them they leaped in. It was a whole new world filled to the brim with magic, they watched as fairies floated high above the ground, and everyone was equal. They watched as a fairy much bigger than the other flew to the ground and she also had a crown on her head. She looked like she had been carved out of wood which she probably had been. When she reached the ground she looked the children strait in eye the with great alarm, she said:” the world is in danger it is too late to try and retrieve the trees that we have lost but there still is time to plant more”.              

Can you continue the story? What is so different about this tree? What has happened to the other trees around it? 

Question time! 

What do you think has caused the destruction all around the tree? 

Why has this one tree survived? It has unspeakably powerful magic only those who look properly can see it.  

If you walked through the portal, what would happen to you? What would you see? I would see dragons and other mythical creatures such as the loch ness monster.    

If this is a portal to another world, would you go through it or stay on Earth, even if you had no idea what could happen? I would take the risk because some risks pay off and it might even lead to a better world without COVID-19. 

Is it good to take risks? not always sometimes you can look at the perspective of the risk to decide whether not to do it. Are some risks riskier than others? Yes 

Sentence challenge! 

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between one thing and another. 

It may tell you where a thing is in relation to something else. E.g. The green, shining door appeared inside the tree. It may tell you when something is in relation to another event. E.g. The portal would not close until the electrical storm had ended. Can you find any prepositions in your writing? Can you write 2 sentences that contain prepositions? The birds could not fly without the power of the sun.

The portal could not open until the last tree had been cut, that was when the world really needed its help.

Sick sentences! 

These sentences are ‘sick' and need help to get better. Can you help? 

► The tree stood, shimming the moonlight it was now it only friend his other ones had been sliced to the ground helpless, but little did humans know that there was a secret land hidden in the lurking knots and branches of the tree.
