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.

Technology Wood

On Wednesday 24th of July my group and I  went to tech.

I have chosen to make a jewellery box for myself .
I think this is the best choice for me because my sister sometimes plays with my things and usually ends up breaking it.
It will be used to hide my jewellery in it and it will be used at home.
For this project I will have to consider how to get my measurements as accurate as possible.

Silver Ferns won Netball World Champions

New Zealand net ball team(the Silver Ferns)won the world champions to Australia by 52 to 51 points.

Silver Ferns had been the worlds champions since 2003 and on.
This  means that New Zealand has now won the title 5 times.

Australia did their best to fought against New Zealand and won 3 goals but New Zealand did enough to hang on.

Picking Up Rubbish To Save The Environment

Yesterday On Monday 1 of July the whole school of Ruapotaka went down to the Tamaki Estuary. Freaza and his team was telling us how we can save the environment and experiencing how birds can die from plastic and rubbish that are chucked around the sea.

We picked up rubbish around Tamaki Estuary and found some rubbish and news papers under the rocks and all the way to the park.

We finished picking up the rubbish and we sat down the next to the park and ate our lunches. After we ate our lunches we went and played at the park for few minutes and head of back to school.
