NZ Scientists Discover A Giant Extinct Parrot

On August 7th 2019, New Zealand scientists discovered an extinct giant parrot.

This gigantic parrot is 1 metre long and has a massive beak that could break food sources. They named the parrot Heracles Inexpectatus because it's huge.

The fossils are  twice the size of a kākāpō, which means this parrot is the largest of all. 

Going Kayaking😊.

Today on Friday 9th of August 2019 Room 12 went kayaking.

We learned how to paddle and how to get on the boat. After getting on the boat we started hovering to the water and we started paddling. While we were paddling we kept on bumping into each other. Most of the students were falling of the boat but Konzay was the first. I fell off once and the water was freezing but I had to swim to the side because I was sinking.

We had so much fun it made us tired and some were still tired when we arrived back at school.

Wellington Fittest City

In Wellington it has been crowned NZ's fittest city and I think it's because it has a lot of hills for people to run up and down from.

People say they voted for Wellington because it's hills are good for running which also helps with their health. People also say their so lucky to live in a active and healthy place.
