Hamlins Hill Field Trip

Last Friday 28th of February the intermediate classes went on field trip to Hamlin's Hill.

We climbed up the hill, looked around and talked about traps for pests. Frazier explained to us how these traps work and what they do to pests. We walked around the forest and found little ribbons that were blue and pink. Frazier said that the blue ribbon was for clues and pink was for pests.


Frazier then tells us to look around for tunnels ,chew cards,Black wavy cardboard and poisoned plastic.I was very interested in the chew card because its has peanut butter on the side of the card that can track and know what pests came and ate it.

We had a lot of fun and we all felt tired because of walking up the hills.

World’s Only Pink Manta Ray

They say this creature is the only pink Manta Ray in the world.
A photographer named  Kristen Laien pictured this while she was diving Australia's great barrier.

Despite she may look small but she is humagise. This stingray is 3.3 meters some say it was difficult to find in the five year since it was noticed.

But I believe that around this world there are many more where this pink Stingray came from.

Wood Tech

Yesterday on 26th of February me and my group went to Wood Tech.

We were looking at cool liquid metal that can be shaped as something or someone as long there is no hole in it .We are learning to create necklaces for your family, yourself or friends.

We've been writing names of people who were giving the necklaces to. We have to write down 4 things about of what they like.

In the end I think it's going to be really cool.

Sean Plunked Says NZ Should Get Rid Of Halloween

Radio host Sean Plunket said that New Zealand should get rid of Halloween because he says it's not magical it's foolishness.

He is disagreeing with the holiday that gives sugary treats to children and he says that "we should do better and give our kids better than a celebration of type-2 diabetes once a year" 

In my opinion Halloween is a really fun holiday because you get to dress up and get free candy.
