How Bushwren Adapted to Its Environment


This is a poster I did on how the Bushwren adapted to its environment. The bushwren was a small bird that adapted to its habitat.  Check out...http://gssmatthewb.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-bushwren.html to find out how bush wren adapted to its habitat.

How to play Red Light, Green Light

One player is the caller and stands facing the other players. He or she calls out "Green light!" and the players run towards him or her. When the caller says "Red light" they stop. Any player who moves or takes another step after "red light" is called is out of the game. The last person standing wins and becomes the next caller. A bit like “What's the time Mr Wolf”.

My dad's bike got stolen

My dad's bike got stolen.
We think it's a man in a Holden.
So my dad has to walk, looking like a dork.
My dad's bike is Golden.
PS, this is not true but my dads bike did get stolen ( we think ):






The best gaming console ( my opinion )

1. Nintendo switch. I think the Nintendo switch is a good gaming device because you can play offline. It's a portable device, designed for long car journeys.

2. PS4. I think is a PS4 is a good device especially for just relaxing and when you have nothing to do. The bad part about the PS4 is that it's a bit chunky and it's not portable.


3. And last but not least the Xbox. Xbox is not as chunky as the PS4 for the way you hold the controller because it is rounded so it's not my favourite. In some games the graphics can be really bad.

The Lost Ship Pt1

Steven was just an ordinary man with a huge past.

Let's start from the beginning…

What had happened to cause such devastation? How could such a mighty, prestigious vessel have ended its journey in such a way? Was there any sign of the precious cargo that the ship had started its journey with? Where were the crew?
These were just some of the questions Steven was asking himself as he stared through the submarine’s porthole. Turning around he saw his diving gear, which was still wet from the morning exploration, and decided it was time to go and find answers.
One day Steven had decided to go on what might be the biggest ship that ever sailed on earth, the Titanic!

So he went and got tickets a year before it sailed.
When the day finally arrived he showed the man at the ticket booth his ticket and got on the boat. When it set sail Steven was at the bow of the ship. he had already gone to his room and put the luggage away. He said goodbye to all his family members and hoped he would see them again soon.
After about 5 days at sea he noticed a strange smell coming from the kitchen of the Titanic. It was a like something was burning, he just thought that perhaps it was just some food that they were cooking left on a bit too long.

At about one in the morning he heard people shouting “what are they shouting about?” Steven thought to himself. He got up and got dressed and noticed that the boat was tipping forward a bit so he ran upstairs to the top of the ship and noticed there was a big black hole in the side of the ship. Steven reported it to the crew members and when they saw it they told the captain who immediately sounded the alarm which woke everybody up. Within 5 minutes the crew members started telling everyone to evacuate the ship immediately. They said there was a fire and they didn't deal with it because they thought it would be gone by now.

Just before they got everybody to the escape rafts everybody noticed the captain was going towards an iceberg accidentally because it was very foggy. Before the captain could turn the ship the iceberg hit right where the black hole was and normally it could withstand the iceberg but the metal was weakened because of the fire.

A German Army ship sailed by and they started to shoot cannonballs at the Titanic which made it sink even more. After that almost everybody got off onto the escape raft but there was no room for other people to go on so they had to hold onto the side of the ship. Steven was lucky he got a raft that was only big enough for one person. Steven was also very tired so he fell asleep and he started drifting out into the ocean.

When he woke up he noticed he was hitting something and it was land. Steven had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in one night and he was by a port in New York City. He did not know what happened to anybody else he just hoped they weren't dead.

He did not know what to do now that he found himself in a different country so first he went to find the police station to report what had happened. He asked people for directions and eventually he got there. He went up the stone steps and told the person who looked like he was in charge what had happened. Afterwards the policeman asked Steven for his details and then asked “By any chance do you know where the other people are” Steven just replied “no I don't sorry”.

After living in New York for a while he got a job as an underwater explorer and go to go on many explorations. Steven was chosen for one particular expedition……..

“We’re almost here” said the captain of the submarine “the Titanic - now Steven you should know about this place like the back of your hand after all you were chosen for this mission because you have sailed on the Titanic” “I wouldn't exactly say I know it like the back of my hand but I do know it fairly well” said Steven.

When they got there Stephen went straight to his diving gear then out the top of the submarine and into the Titanic. He went straight to his room on the Titanic to see if any of his stuff was still there and indeed it was. All his clothes and other stuff he had taken along with him were still there, so he gathered up all the stuff and went back to the submarine to put it under his bed. He went straight back down to help the other explorers to find out how the Titanic had sunk.

Now Steven did know but apparently there was more to just an iceberg the fire and the German Army ship…

I have naked hips
I hate sports

calendar art




This is a picture of the calender art we have to do. Calendar art is where you draw something and it gets printed onto a calendar. This year we had to do a place in the world where you have either a place you've been to or where you want to go. This year we based our art on heather galler.

Butterflies

Flying butterfly
Chasing a guy
Why chase a guy
“I like pie”
Said butterfly
The guy was a lie 
So was butterfly

The bushwren



Bushwren



The Bush Wren is a small creature that roamed New Zealand until about the late 19th century when it became extinct.

Features:
The Bushwrens had olive green heads and they had a black beak and brown eyes with a white eyebrow strip. Their bodies had dark yellow with white feathers and their legs were a brown stickish colour.

Habitat:
The only authenticated reports of the North Island Bushwren since 1900 were from the southern Rimutaka Range.With probable sightings on June 13, 1949, near Lake Waikareiti. When they introduced mustelids and joined rats that killed the bushwren.

Behaviour:
Bushwrens ate small moths, flies, beetles, insect larvae and spiders and did not fly much.

This bird shouldn't have gone extinct and should have flown away when it saw its predator. I hope scientists can bring back the the Bushwren.

Finn limerick

There once was a boy named Finn
Who was rather fond of a gin
       His parents said no
He really must go
and put the wee boy in the bin

leopard limerick

During athletics day the kids of Good Shepherd
Got frightened one day by a Leopard 
Who’d escaped from the Zoo
Wearing one shoe
And set the 100 meters record

Global warming

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep it’s pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives.

Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.

Climate change (or global warming), is the process of our planet heating up. The Earth has warmed by an average of 1°C in the last century. Although that might not sound like much, it means big things for people and wildlife around the globe.

Unfortunately, rising temperatures doesn’t just mean that we’ll get nicer weather – if only! The changing climate will actually make our weather more extreme and unpredictable. As temperatures rise, some areas will get wetter and lots of animals (and humans!) could find they’re not able to adapt to their changing climate.

GREENHOUSE EFFECT

What is the the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a warming of the earth's surface and lower atmosphere caused by substances such as carbon dioxide and water vapour which let the sun’s energy go through to the ground but impede the passage of energy from the earth back into space.

A greenhouse is a house made of glass. It has glass walls and a glass roof. People grow tomatoes and flowers and other plants in them. A greenhouse stays warm inside, even during winter. Sunlight shines in and warms the plants and air inside. But the heat is trapped by the glass and can't escape. So during the daylight hours, it gets warmer and warmer inside a greenhouse, and stays pretty warm at night too.

How is Earth a greenhouse?
Earth's atmosphere does the same thing as the greenhouse. Gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide do what the roof of a greenhouse does. During the day, the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up in the sunlight. At night, Earth's surface cools, releasing the heat back into the air. But some of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That's what keeps our Earth a warm and cosy 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit, on average (In summer that is.)

How to stop it
Drive Less or by Carpool. 
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Go Solar
Buy Energy-Efficient Appliances
Reduce Waste
Use Less Hot Water
Avoid Products With Lot of Packaging
Turn Off the Lights
Turn off Electronic Devices
Plant a Tree
Use Clean Fuel
Look for Renewable Fuel Options
Save Energy

 I hope you learned a thing or two about global warming and why we should stop it.
