How to play dodge ball.

 How to play dodgeball. 

This explanation will be about how to play a game of Dodgeball. It's an easy game to play. But also has rules and other things you need to know before you play the game. 

Before you can start playing the game you need to have teams to play. Then when you follow your team to your side of the courts. When the whistle blows you run and get a ball.  You have to try not to get out but get the other teams players out.

You hit people with a ball but not their heads. You catch the ball to get the player out. If you drop the ball you are out. The jail is on the other side of the courts in the half-circle. 

When you are out you need to try to catch the ball from your teammate. You can win when everyone is out on the other team. Then you restart the game and play it again. 

You guard the jail to make sure the other team won't get them out of jail. When you catch the ball you go back and play with your team. You have to dodge the ball and when you get a ball you hit someone with it but not too hard and not the head. 

In conclusion, this game is very fun to play when you follow the rules and have fun.

Causes and Consequences of changes in our oceans.

Causes and consequences of changes in our oceans.

We need to save our planet not destroy it. If we keep letting plastic into our ocean it is going to kill the planet not help it. Just one plastic bag can kill an innocent turtle in the sea. So that means when we are older there won't be any kai in the sea to catch because there will not be any fish to catch.  

If we don't want our sea creatures to die then stop putting plastic on our beaches and in oceans. Stop dumping plastic on the roads and beaches because it flies into the sea and kills our sea creatures. 

Oil spills are one of the biggest pollution problems in the sea. Oil spills kill 25,900 Mammals, 82,000 birds of 120 species, 6,165 sea turtles, and more each year. If we don't want fish in our sea then this is how we are going to achieve it. They are living animals.

Plastic pollution is the main cause of all of the ocean creatures dying. It is one of the main things that we are doing to our ocean and killing all of the animals so there is not much fish in the sea to fish and looking at all of the cool and fantastic animals we can go diving and look at them. Every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans. There may now be around 5.25 trillion macro and microplastic pieces floating in the open ocean.

So now you can see how everything that is killing the sea creatures and the ocean is all us people. Go plastic-free to keep our ocean alive and not try to kill it. , Save Them.   By Maddison. 

   

Why Flooding Causes Destruction

 Why Flooding Causes Destruction

Floods are the most common type of natural cycle. The water that comes from the rain and waterfall land that is usually dry but because it has been raining so much the rivers have overflowed the waterfalls and they are getting onto the road and streets. And the rubbish is a big concern to our flooding because it washes the rubbish into the drains and stops the water from flowing normally.   

Did you know In general, two or three inches of rain per hour onto the street makes it flood. Yet if eight to ten inches pours down in an hour or two, roads usually are flooding and cause overflowing. When it floods the rubbish gets stuck on the fences and leaves lots of mess on the fences. 

The problems the floods create

Floodings can cause lots of damage to our properties and also farms like damaging houses, blocking off roads,  streets and rivers slip onto the roads, cars floating away, people drowning, and many more bad things to our countries. 

How can people solve or reduce the problem of flooding?

Better flood warning systems, modify homes and businesses to help them withstand floods, construct buildings above flood levels and clean out gutters and clean out strims for water to flow normal and fast in the drains. People can also stop littering because the rubbish gets stuck in the drains and streams and blokes off all of the flowing water so it can not flow like normal.

Did you know even six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet, and a depth of two feet will float your car. If you don't want your house or farm to flood then clean out every drain or strims and gutters you have on your property need to be cleaned out when it floods so it doesn't overflow and destroy anything. So it would be a really good idea to clean out all of your drains before a heavy rain.

How to care for a Gypsy Cob Horse

How to Care for a Gypsy Cob Horse

Gypsy cob Horse. I will show you how to take care of them,
what you need, how much exercise they need, and what is
the best exercise you can do for them.

The three main places to get a Gypsy vanner horse is

Auckland. Auckland is the last main place you would find a
Gypsy Cob horse but Gisborne and Wanganui are the main
places to find a Gypsy Cob Horse. The first purebred horse

the day but need lots of water. Any good shampoo and Conditioner
but the thing one is the best Warhorse Solutions Natural Equine
Shampoo and Conditioner.  Also, a shelter of Stable when it rains
or is too cold for them. 

How much exercise they need and what is the best exercise
you can do for them. The first one is trotting around your biggest
paddock to keep them fit and to show them that you are confident
and you have control of them, for them. Then you can ride them
around places. The next exercise is putting standards around your
paddock and going around them all. And taking them to the beach
or on teaks.

Make sure they are happy in their new home because if they are
not they will not be happy and they don't want to do anything,
make sure they are in a safe place at all times and make sure
they have Food and Water at all times.

Coronavirus 2020

Coronavirus 2020

It all started in the 2020s on March 15.
All of New Zealand and other countries went into lockdown for
weeks and weeks. Because people can stay at home and not
spread to other people then other people spread it to other people
and then it wipes the whole world out so that is why we are
staying at home for that amount for the time. We all had to be
homeschooled for the weekday for normal school and do the
normal work but at home and without your friends and your
teacher with you. Just with the family who live in your house.
The lockdown is hard for some people as they still have to go to
work like supermarkets, Police stations, fire people, Hospitals,
medical practitioners, Vets will also be open in case your pet gets
sick during the lockdown, Funeral homes, cemeteries,
crematories will also remain open and more. Some People like
Mums and Dads that don't work. They will have to homeschool
their kids and have the same breaks and work time just like you
are at school.

The fun day

The Fun Day. 

On Saturday 26 February we had a fun day at the Kaitaia rodeo grounds. Tamzyn and I were the only kids from Ahipara School. There were a lot of activities on the day. The runs I did were, Team Barrel racing when you get a partner and you get a rope and you do the barrels without letting the rope go. And I did Barrel racing, which is when you go around 3 barrels and try to beat everyone else and beat you time. And  Pole bending is when you have 5 to 6 poles and you throw them and beat the other person.  And this is the hardest when you don't have the right horse for its  Team drafting is when you have three people in the arena and you get a number and the are 3 calves that have the same number and it goes up to 10 and you have to get then past the barrels and try not the let them out of the line of the barrels and I also did the Keyhole its when is have a line and you need to ride on the line and then turn around in the circle and race back on the line and beat the other person and the Jackpot barrel race it's when you do the barrels and beat all age and no limit and they try to beat everyone else and we had to pay $20 to do it and it did lots more. All my family that lives up here was there and some were on the Fun day. It was a great day and the sun was out most of the time. The horse that I rode was my horse Darkey. And the horse that my Aunty Therese rode was her horse Cuda. The fun day went on all day. I won $20.00 for the team drafting, And a horse cover from the kids raffle.

that is put on the wood and make the color as the lights and it has a letter or initial of your name. 

And you carve it out and put it on the wood and you paint the wood and then paint the letter.
then you connect the wires together and make the light’s go.

It was my first time at tech. It was fun and I loved it.

Our class teacher is Mr. Benjamin.
