Our class has been learning about simple machines. Before we started learning about
them I thought that a simple machine was something like a remote controlled car. But after
learning about them I know there are 6 simple machines. They are a lever, a screw, a wedge
, a wheel and axle, a pulley and a inclined plane.
Ngā Ika
Poor polluted water as packed with plastic as a rubbish bin
Sea animals suffering
Toxic floaties lingering above me
Schools of ika swerving through the sea
Star fish attached to a rock below me
Boats going ZOOM above me
Whistle of waiaua
Little fishes giggling like little kids in a candy store
Deadly Diesel
Obnoxious Oil
Sea salt sinking in the sea
Wheke ink sneaking up on me from under a cave
I’m scared of getting eaten by a gigantic
shark
I feel like a feather in the sea
I feel like jumping through the ocean like a dolphin
I would go back in time and change the way some people treat the environment
Today I had to read the lyrics from 3 songs the song lyrics that I read were the lyrics to, Blinding Lights By The Weekend, Dance Monkey by Tones and I and Don’t Start Now Dua Lipa. My favourite one to read was Dance Monkey because it was easy to read and it has a good beat.
I had to read 3 articles from this magazine. My favourite one was called How Do Scientists Tell The Age Of Fish? They can tell how old a fish is by looking at the little bone in a fish's ear. The bone grows when the fish grows. The bone has rings on it because a thin layer of bone is added everyday. They said because the daily rings can become really blurry so they look for the layers of thick summer rings and thin winter rings.
Today I had to read a graphic novel. My favourite part of the novel was when the little girl the size of a thumb called thumbelina was trying to find her way home because she had just escaped toads that were trying to get her to marry their son. It was my favourite part because on the way all sorts of animals were helping her because the toads were mean to them too.
