Science Fair

For the last few weeks I have been planning what I am going to do for my science fair project. I have decided to do mine on photography and for photography I am doing water. I will be taking pictures of all sorts of water but mainly rivers and ponds. I will have to put lot of effort into this as it is due sometime close to now and it will be quite hard to achieve. With a lot of effort put into this I should be able to achieve this.

I have now finished my Science Fair and I think I could of done a bit better. I didn't enter the Franklin Science Fair for Photography and I didn't get anywhere in the School competition. Next time I think I will do either a Research board or a Scientific Investigation.

Why we should protect the Maui dolphins?

Do you want to know why the Maui Dolphins are the most at-risk marine mammal in the world? Well it's because not many people know about them so they are getting killed by propellers on boats, or the net's boats carry around and then the main one that kills lot's of sea creatures and I'm sure at least everyone in New Zealand has done this once before and that is pollute. These are all bad for the Maui dolphins and this is what's killing them, I think we should stop and try to protect them.


Lot's of people love to fish, but what they don't realize is that they re fishing in the wrong area sometimes. Who fishes on the West Coast of the North Island? I know that some people do and the propellers on boats are killing the poor Maui dolphins. The Maui dolphins are so tiny and they can't see very well so how do the people that fish there expect the Maui dolphins to just swim away from the boats, because dolphins don't know that they will get killed, so the fishermen are the ones that should fix this problem. It's quite easy they should just stay away from the area with there boats, there are a lot of other places you can fish, so there is no need to go there.


When fishermen go out to sea on big boats they carry around nets to catch big fish, but they can easily accidentally catch a Maui dolphin and they can't swim fast enough to get out from the net. The Maui dolphins are endangered and how many people know that they are indigenous which is native to NewZealand? So why is this continuing? We should be protecting them not killing them. Yes I know that people are only trying to fish with the nets and only trying to catch fish but you could catch anything with the size of those nets.


People think that polluting does nothing to the Earth, but really if they don’t know that polluting is bad then they really don't know anything. Would you like to die because someone dropped a bit of rubbish? Well you should really stop because those Maui dolphins have done no harm to you, but when you drop one bit of rubbish you have just put a Maui dolphin at risk. How can someone be so careless? It isn't hard to walk a few steps to put something in the bin, think of how many Maui dolphins you will be saving, people could call you a hero and all you did was put a piece of rubbish in the bin. So you should really not pollute and then you could save a life.


You really need to think about this, if all of this stops the Maui dolphins won’t be endangered anymore and then there will be more of them left so you are not doing anyone any harm.If you don’t go near this area and don’t pollute you are a life saver. So do you want to be a hero or a killer?

Me project

This is my Me Project. Room 23 all had to do this and we all worked extremely hard on these. We got given 4 weeks to complete these and all of them looked fantastic. We had to have 3 sections and they were people, places and passions. For people I did my siblings and me, for places I did places where me and my family love going and for passions I did dance and Taekwon-Do.

I spent a lot of time on mine and I think it looks good, it is definitely the best I can do.

Mathletics

This is my mathletics account. My whole class (Room 23) at Pukekohe Intermediate School goes on Mathletics and we work very hard on it. There are alot of different ability levels on mathletics so you can challenge your self if you find something to easy.

There is also live mathletics where you verse people from all over the world and there are 5 different levels level 1, level2, level 3, level 4 and level 5 and they get harder and harder, i like to work on level 3 and 4 because they are the levels suited for my maths level. Mathletics is a great way to practise your maths and i am really glad I am on it.

Zone Cricket Tournament

On Tuesday the 30th of March the year 7 and year 8 cricket tournament was held, it was held at Pukekohe intermediate School. The year 8 team lost a game and won a game which led them into the place of 3rd. They only had the two games but they still tried their hardest and did what they could to get them their result. They had a really hard competition which was good for them so they had to try hard.

The year 7 girls did really well our first game we bet them by about 11 runs and we had 9 wickets when the game ended, we were very proud of our result. following that we had our 2nd game we did a bit better than our first game with a score of 26 from the other team and 40 from our school team. We definitely did a good job thanks to our two batsman that scored the runs and our awesome bowlers who got them out. We had a good result at the end of the day coming first place which we were all very proud of.
