Water fun day

Today the 7th of february 2019 Glenbrae School had water fun day. Room 10 started at the water slide but it was only Kauri, Rata, Nikau and Kowhai that had to wait because it was only two groups at a time. After the water slide we went to walk the planks when we were there Nikau didn’t have a plank so they had to share with kauri. Pinomi and key had to get Nikau's plank and Kauri was happy because Nikau was slowing them down. I was happy because Kowhai bin was full and they had to get buckets so the water in kowhai bin couldn’t overflow. 

Then we went to the three legged race  we had to pair up and one person had to carry the water and the other just runs with them. I was paired up with Wuatai we both took turns I took two and he took two. When that finished we went to spongebob wet pants you had to soak the sponge and pass it over you then the other passes it under them then the last person had to run and squeeze all the water into the bin when I went to squeeze the sponge we were on our second buket.

Once the spongebob wet pants was over we went to the zig zag race.To play we pick up a cup with holes on the bottom and we zig zag around the cones and then tip the water that is left in the cup into the bin.

At the end they had to tip the water in the bin into little buckets. Kowhai had 7 nikau had 5 kauri had 5 and a half and rata had 6 and three quarters  I was so happy because we won and we got to swim for a bit longer than usual. After swimming we got changed into our uniform and we went to class and had a delicious iceblock. After that we enjoyed lunch time playing softball.

DAY 5: Wasting Away

Activity 1: Off the Menu [4 points]











Fishing is a really common activity in New Zealand. In fact, people have fished in New Zealand for centuries. Unfortunately, over the past few decades some people have caught too many fish in one area and left the region without enough fish to refill (replenish) the stocks. When this happens we call the area ‘overfished’ and it is closed to all private and commercial fishing. If people are caught fishing in these areas, they are required to pay a fine (money). The maximum fine for fishing in a restricted area is $100 000.
What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing?
On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!.

I think it is not fair because you’re just fishing and if you get caught you have to pay 100 000 they should lower the price to like just 50 000 but at the same time i think it is fair because it is closed and you are not allowed to go. Also you know the consequence so Thats why I think its is not fair and not fair.

Activity 3: Picture Perfect [10 points]
While New Zealand is home to some beautiful waterfalls, there are a number of stunning waterfalls in places like Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the largest waterfall is called Niagara Falls. It sits on the border between Canada and the United States of America. Thousands of tourists flock (go) to Niagara Falls every year to see the falls and to have their picture taken in front of this natural wonder. Over the past few years people have started taking ‘selfies’ and posting them online. Do you ever take selfies?
For this activity, choose one of the following three selfies. From left to right: Selfie #1,   Selfie #2,   Selfie #3



I have chosen selfie 2 because he looks like he is having the time of his life and it looks scary and awesome at the same time. Also because the view is great so is selfie 3. Also I have chosen selfie 2 is because it looks like we can slide off whatever he is. But I really like selfie because it looks like he is on the statue of Liberty or he is on Christ the Redeemer. Those two are very famous statues and they are my favorite statues.

Activity 2: It’s All in the Name [4 points]

Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a city filled with incredible forests, mountain biking tracks, lakes, and geothermal wonders, including hot springs (geysers) and mud pools. One of the most famous geothermal pools is called the Devil’s Bath at Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. It is a neon green pool of stinky water.
Over the years, people have suggested that we come up with a new name for the pool. What do you think we should call it? Take a minute to let your creative juices flow.
On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most.

Leaky lake
Grass pool
* Demon lake

DAY 4: Spectacular, Spectacular

Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]

Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?

On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

 

I would chose the helicopter because I have not been in one and the view will be beautiful also because so I can face my fear because I am scared of heights. Also because it will be a dream come true being in that helicopter.
