Glaciers, is formed out of thick masses of ice for over hundreds of years, they form when lots of snow in one location for a million years and scientists had confirmed that there was over 200,000 glaciers around the world As the glaciers move they rub against the ground it is a really known fact.

Today’s I have done some research about Mt Discovery. This week I will be blogging a lot about Antarctica because last week we had a very interesting man come and visit us and talk about his trips to Antarctica. His name is Jacob Anderson from the BLAKE TRUST, company in New Zealand. A interesting fact about Jacob is he has been to Antarctica 6 times.

Today we were put into groups and were told to do some work on Game Changers with Logan Williams. Logan Williams invents useful things to help save the environment, for example he used Keravos pellets and combined it with wool and polyactic acid(PLA), which is a plastic substitute. Wool to plastic, he is changing the amount of plastic being produced in the world.
Today I have done an activity all about the saying Seeing is believing. Seeing is believing means you can be whatever you see even with a disability. I did a short biography about an Paralympian named Anthea Dixon. Paralympics is just the olympics but made for people with a disability. Something I learnt is that even with a disability to never give up on your dreams.
Today for literacy my class and I have did an activity on a a story called The Whale Rider. The Whale Rider is basically a story about a little girl named Kahu at the age of 8 who lost her mother due to her birth, and because of that her dad went to move somewhere else because of grief. That wants to become a chief just like her ancestors, but her koro (grandfather) always tells her that she cannot be the chief as it is only a job for boys and he says that the tradition of a line of boys being the eldest child, and the eldest child always has to be the next chief, but Kahu was the eldest and she came out a girl which the grandfather didn’t like. This is basically the story but you will see the activities that my group and I did for this story.
Fakaalofa lahi atu,
today for writing, the whole class did an activity that is focusing on the sentence, Subject Sentence, but to learn more about how to use this during real stories we did an activity involving frogs. What we had to do is open a site with different facts about the frog. Then what we had to do was to find different things about the frog to make up a simple sentence, after we did that we added some of the different facts from that site, that is all from me, bye.
Fakaalofa lahi atu,
Today for Niuean language week my class and I have done a google drawing explaining why the coconut is important to the Niuean culture and the other cultures. During this activity we had to split into groups of 2, and we did. Coconuts can be used for different stuff or things like gas for vehicles, and for furniture, did you know that Niue lies 2400km northeast of New Zealand which is in between Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands this is one of the many facts that I learnt yesterday but forgot to put it in my blog.

Today for Niuean Language week we have learnt some facts and learnt how to properly say greetings in Niuean, for the activity my class and I have taken a screenshot of people saying something, but instead of the text already being there we had to put in the greetings myself, I can’t really explain what happened I don’t know why but you will just see the activity for yourself (but the easiest explaination is just learning the different types of greetings) as in a greeting towards one person two people three and more. This is it from me hope you enjoy my blog.
