My Creature is a Red-bellied Piranha

Some things I needed to consider about my creature:     What I’d consider about my creature is that it lives in South America rivers, they are 30cm in height. The piranha picks on small fish and they live in groups and they’re meat eaters.

My enclosure has these special features for my pet:        To feed my pet you push the blue button at the back of the fish tank and the blue batin at the back of the tank opens so you can feed without the water coming out.

What I am pleased about: I’m pleased that I got all the materials and it came together nicely and it went according to plan.   I had to plan quit a bit because if the plan had no detail I wouldn’t no how length, width and the height. I was absorbed in P.B.L also I had to persevere to get it all done.

What I have found tricky: What I found tricky was cutting the hole in the top because it wouldn't cut and also it was hard putting the toy on the top of the inside of the tank because it’s not flat.

What I would like to improve: What I’ll like to improve is the amount of sand because I think I did not put enough sand and stones in the tank.

Camp Omatua-2016

This is me in my swag. My car is a mini cooper. I named my car rich money. My car got its name because it has a money sign on the back.	This is the handsomest group, we were making a house out of bamboo and tape and it was really fun.
Look at me on the big black tube. It was so much fun going on the tubes. I hope we bring the tubes next year.	Does Mr Ford look fancy dressed up as a waiter? He was serving the V.I.P ( very important persons). I wonder how much he gets paid?
When I bring the kayak up the river this is what I looked like, I know... so handsome!	These are all the gorgeous faces in Kauri 8/9 on the steps behind the dining room. Can you find me or do I blend in with everyone that is on the steps?

Hope you like my blog post- please comment ;-) :-)

Animal Band Reader's Theatre

WALT perform to an audience.
Success Criteria.

•  speak clearly 
• speak loudly
• speak with expression
• speak together as a group

For the Animal Band performance, we had to speak clearly, speak loudly, speak with expression and speak together as a group.
I was a robber, I had to say "Help, what's that terrible noise?"  
The main characters were the donkeys because they had the most parts.  
I was very nervous because I was sick and it was hard to keep my cough in until the play was over.

(Here are a few photos) 

This is me

These are the robbers eating and drinking.

City life is better they country life.

In my opinion city life is better they country life.

First, in the city the shops are around the corner, but in the country the shops are far away from your home and it would take forever to get to the shops.

In country life it would be hard to raise a baby or a kid, because you won’t have the money.  In the city you will have the money because you will go to work.

In city life there are more aquariums so you can see the things that live in the ocean.  The country has no aquarium to see the wonderful things that live in the ocean.

Therefore I believe that city life is better they country life.
