Immersion Assembly Recount

We went to the hall to learn about our new topic for school. We went there At the first day of school. We did our assembly in the hall. And we walked to get to the hall and we were there first to.

Once the whole school was in the hall Mrs.Nua turned off the light’s. We looked up and there were a lot of stars in the roof. Later Mr. Somerville flew his UFO and  Mr.Somerville and Mr.Jacobsen were acting like there was a alien in the UFO. The UFO landed and two big alien came on the stage. During that, Mr.Somerville and Mr,Jacobsen came on the stage as fast as they can they also came with their lightsaber and chopped the two aliens in half.

Next it was time to see what we are learning about in class. The first team was team one. What team one’s video was telling us was how they flew with there car to outer space. They also sang a song about what planet they flew to. Later on it was team, two’s turn to tell us what they are going to be  learning about this term. In there video Mrs.Gaston was singing a song about outer space. The other teacher were dancing to the song.

Finally it was team 3 my team. We were learning space but mainly planets. Our video was about days in our lives which also mean times in our live.Team 3 are also looking at the 4 seasons like summer, winter, ortim, and also sring.  Next it was Team 4’s turn to show us what they are learning. They're video was about how they flew in a rocket ship and blew up. I like teams four’s video.

In the end it was team five’s but they didn’t do a video they were singing a song but the beat was Moana the song was about the planets from outer space. It was so funny how the teachers were dancing.

Non-wild animals

Kiwi

An average of 27 kiwi are killed by predators EVERY WEEK. That’s a population decline of around 1,400 kiwi every year (or 2%). At this rate, kiwi may disappear from the mainland in our lifetime. Just one hundred years ago, kiwi numbered in the millions.

A single roaming dog can wipe out an entire kiwi population in a matter of days

Approximately 20% of the kiwi population is under management.

Kakapo

The kakapo (Strigops habroptila) is a Critically Endangered, giant, nocturnal parrot. It is a classic example of evolution on an isolated island, and has a number of characteristic features that make this species unique. The kakapo is the only member of the subfamily Strigopinae and is the only flightless parrot in the world. It is also the heaviest parrot known and is possibly the longest-lived; the oldest known kakapo was elderly when found in 1975 and was still alive in 2002.

Those were the only two animals that I thought that wasn't wild animals 

Wild Animals

Favourite activity

My first favourite activity was the sailing bit it was so cool it made me feel that I wanted to go ask my Dad if I go sale. My second favourite activity was how we could explore the beach it was so fun when I explore the beach with my family. My third favourite activity was how I can spend days exploring the cosmopolitan streets and bays of Auckland, but its main attraction is found beyond the city limits. Now my second to last favourite activity is how Auckland's rugged coastline with dramatic cliffs and that rolling down the hills is simply stunning. Last but not lest my last favourite activity is driving to the native rain forest of the Waitakere Ranges to enjoy a treetop walk and see more of New Zealand's unique flora and fauna.

New Zealand

The patchwork history of Maori, European, Pacific  Island and Asian cultures, New Zealand has become a melting-pot population - but one with some uniting features that make it unique in the world.
Today, of the 4.4 million New Zealanders (informally know as Kiwi), approximately 69% are of European descent, 14.6% are indigenous Māori, 9.2% Asian and 6.9% non-Māori Pacific Islanders.

Geographically, over three-quarters of the population live in the North Island, with one-third of the total population living in Auckland. The other main cities of Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton are where the majority of the remaining Kiwis dwell.
