Taniwha Art

So we had to do a taniwha for our art and we did it for our homework. We had to draw it on sumopanit and we used the tools on sumopanit. Then when we finish we have to send it to our teacher. His name is Mr Reid and he sometimes funny. So when I was done with it my art I was very happy with the way it looked. It was the best that I can do because I didn't have time to do the best of all in my room. But it still looked cool to me it was also fun to do.

So I waited tell it was time to go and line up and off we went to the assembly. The assembly was in the front of room one class. I had wait to long so then it was time to tell us all about what was going to happen and the first thing was. Mrs Vickers told us was the rules that we all had to follow because it will get us points if we do follow the so we did. Now was the time to tell us what group we were in and the group that I have been waiting for came to me I was in the red team we were the best team well that's what I think.

New Zealanders are being urged to remain vigilant in guarding the country's borders, with new research showing pests are continuing to spread around the world. I think that it is a good thing that they are doing this so that these animals are safe. It will be very cool to see some of these animals waking around in the Auckland zoo. It will also be a good thing for the posies because now they world not have to go thought peoples bins. Because if they are in the zoos like the Auckland zoo it will then be feed rinsed of eat bad that could kill them. Also if they are getting move to New Zealand people have keep an eye it because they can still do some bad things.

Golden Bay Stranding: Whales Likely Left To Decompose Where They Are

The task of dealing with more than 300 dead pilot whales on a New Zealand beach is getting under way. But as long as the whales are safe at the beach they will not die or safer from not being in the water. Also it is good that their are people that live out their and can help the whales stay safe. Their was 320 whales that may have or so explode on the beach where they lie on Farewell Spit. This is very sad because their are whales out their that don't have the support that the other whales are getting. That is because their are not that meany people that are livening near where these things happen.
