Thursday Writing (Skipping Relay Recount) (A Boring Game Outside)

 On a warm sunny morning, me and my class were gonna play a game! The game was Skipping Relays, as soon as i heard that  i was disappointed I mean yeah skipping is fun but not for me. So first we went outside and lined up in our team line, next we walked down to the back field, then Miss King leaded us to a spot where we could sit down at. Then Miss King explained the rules of this "exciting game" and when i say exciting i mean boring. So we started the game.. All teams were split apart from each other, We had to skip all the way to the other side where the unevenly split of the team was. After I had a few turns i was exhausted. My legs were sleeping, my arms are aching, I just can deal with me being exhausted so i had my teammates cover for me. Than it was finally done! or at least i thought saw. I shouldn't of talked so early, because there was a competition! I was not ready for this so i didn't put my hand up at all my friend/cousin Willy putted his hand up and he entered the competition. Miss King wanted them to do the skip tricks that she wanted them to do and then when it was the last one I had lost hope but I know in this school everything is possible so I didn't lose my Tumanako/Hope. It was sad when Willy didn't get any points for Hine Moana but the only thing that matters is that the game was actually fun. :)

Today me and my Maths class went to Kiwisport which was learning how to Skateboard! First we were walking in a line to Kiwisport/Skateboarding. Next, we were waiting for our coach called Simon to call us to get a skateboard and a helmet. Then we were doing laps of going forward and backwards. After that we were learning how to pick up our board with our feet. Then we did trick called the "tictac," We had to flip our board and put our feet and put them under the board and put them under the centre of the wheels, then we flip it with our feet and try to land on the board. After six tries I eventually got the hang of it! Finally we had a fun game of "What's the time Mr Wolf," Simon, our couch was the wolf and we were the wolf pack. Whenever one of us moved we had to go back four spaces or if we moved we had to go back eight spaces! After three rounds we had to put our board away and helmet together. Then Simon told us that Moimoi did this trick called "Olly," Olly is a trick where you try and pick up the board with your feet, Moimoi tried three times he couldn't so instead we went in a line and we said bye to Simon and left.

Level 2 At School

Two weeks ago, I came back to school at Level 2! Everyday we do Writing as our first subject, next we do reading on our Chromebooks. After that we do Maths and finally we do our Super me poster, then we all go home at 2:30 but some people go early so they can pick up their brothers or sisters and leave with their siblings. We do this every single day like a morning routine! We wake up, eat breakfast, brush our teeth, put on our school uniform, pack up our bags and then we go to school at 8. Then we go inside the school, say hi to Mr Burt then we go to our class, we take our lunchbox out, put our bag away and we get something to do. Everything has changed since the coronavirus/CODVID-19 ever came, I don't like how somethings has changed because ever since the coronavirus/CODVID-19 ever came around lots of people had to wear masks, wear gloves and had to stay 6 meters away from each other also we had to cough and sneeze in our elbow like we did when the coronavirus/CODVID-19 wasn't here. The changes at our school are when its lunchtime it's shorter then usual and we only have half an hour to play! So that's the reason why i don't like the changes of our planet.

The Last 2 Parts of How Cars Changed Our World.

      One Car, Two Car, Three Car, And More.
As the years went by, cars and petrol become cheaper. People could buy second- hand cars, too. These days, there are well over three million cars in New Zealand.
1. Cars make it easier to carry things.
2. In New Zealand, hundreds of people are badly hurt or killed in car crashes every year.
3. Cars helps us to get to places more quickly.
4. Cars can make us lazy. We stop walking and cycling and become unfit and unhealthy.
5. Cars help us travel long distances.
Lots of New Zealanders own a car. Many people rely on their cars, especially if they have to travel long distances. Cars are useful, but they have their down side too.
1. Some cars are expensive to run and maintain.
2. Cars give us shelter from the weather while we travel.
3. Exhaust fumes from some cars can pollute the air.
4. Electric cars are cleaner to run than petrol cars.
5. If there are more cars, we have to build more roads.

Cars are important in our daily life's, but there are other options for getting around. Maybe we don't need to use cars as much as we do.

Part 5 of How Cars Changed Our World.

                 Exploring The Country By Car.
Cars made it easier to move around and keep in contact, but they were very expensive. Only wealthy people could afford one. The first motoring club began in 1903. Club members would go for drives together. To make driving safer and easier, they made direction signs and warning notices and put them along the roads. They also drew road maps to help motorists explore more of the country. The clubs encouraged local councils to improve roads and to build more.
                                     
                                              Building roads was hard work.

Part 4 of How Cars Changed Our World.

                            Life Before Cars.
Before William Mclean brought his two cars into the country, life was very different for New Zealanders. In early times, Maori got around by waka or on foot. Most people lived close to lakes, rivers or the sea. It was usually faster and easier to travel across water than to struggle through the thick bushes and over the steep hills. When Pakeha arrived in New Zealand, they brought animals to carry thing. Bullocks could haul heavy loads on sleds, and wheeled wagons and horses could carry people. This allowed people to travel further and faster. They could now keep in touch and find out what was happening around the country more easily. In the 1850s, horse-drawn coach services began. They carried people, parcels, newspapers, and letters. Most people worked closer to home in the days before the motor car. Local communities usually had their own shops, doctor, police, post office, and school. There were no buses or cars to carry children between home and school - children walked, cycled, or rode the family horse. In the early 1900s, there was about one horse fore every three people in New Zealand.                              Square Palmerston N.425.

Part 3 of How Cars Changed Our World.

Cecil Woods was one of the people who built their own car. He was very proud of his invention, but one day, a butcher chased him and threatened to chop the car to pieces with his meat axe. The noise of the car has startled the butcher and his horse. Cecil had to turn off the engine and push his car home so it wouldn't frighten anyone.
Fred Dennison was a bicycle mechanic and engineer working in Christchurch in the late 1890s, he decided to make his own motor car, too. In June 1900, he drove his 'Dennison car' from Christchurch to Oamaru. In a modern car,  the 250-kilometre trip might take about three hours. In 1900, it took Fred five days, and the journey wasn't easy. The roads were rough and dusty. At one point, the car got stuck in a riverbed  and Fred had to take it to pieces to get it out again. Then, on his way back to Christchurch, the car caught fire. Fred wasn't hurt, but he lost all his luggage in the blaze.

Part 2 of How Cars Changed Our World.

                                        Look Out - It's A Car!
Soon more people began importing*cars. Others built their own. a lot of people weren't sure about these strange, new machines. Motor cars were fast and smelly and loud. They scared horses - and their owners!
                     The first traffic ticket.
                                    In 1901, Nicholas Oates was caught driving his car over
                                    the speed limit of 6 kilometres an hour along Lincoln
                                    Road in Christchurch. His car scared some horses.
                                    Oates received the first traffic fine in the country.
*Importing:bringing something in from another country.

                How Cars Changed Our World

The first motor cars arrived in New Zealand more then 120 years ago. There were just two of them, and they came from France on the steamship Rotomahana. The cars reached Wellington on 19 February 1898. Their new owner was a man named William Mclean. It must have felt like Christmas to William when he saw his two shiny, new machines!  

                       

                        A car similar to one of the cars that William Mclean brought to New Zealand

One of the cars was small, with a top speed of 16 kilometres an hour. the other was larger and could go almost 50 kilometres an hour! That was faster than any horse and cart could travel. William decided to call the big car Lightning. William wanted to show everyone how good a motor car could be, so he took the mayor of Wellington for a drive. Things were going well until William lost control and ran into a fence. The mayor hurt his nose, and onlookers were shocked. They had just seen New Zealand's first car accident!

ANZAC Day (Australia, New Zealand, Army Corps.)

                     What Is ANZAC Day?

Imagine traveling a long way to go on vacation. As you walk through the central part of the city with your family, you notice a huge display of red flowers, with people standing around. But this is not a garden you are looking at. You are in Australia on ANZAC Day.

ANZAC Day is a holiday that starts back when our New Zealand forces and Australia fought in the war, it is a day where their is no school so we can remember the people that fought for us.

Every April 25th, ceremonies are held in both countries to honor the sacrifices of their brave military men and women. It is similar to Memorial Day and Veterans Day in the US, except both the war dead and living service members are honored during this one day.

                How did ANZAC Day start?

In 1914, World War I started and Britain went to war with Germany. Because Australia and New Zealand were British colonies, men in those countries volunteered to fight for Britain as part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

On April 25, 1915, these soldiers landed at Gallipoli which is part of Turkey. The Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought courageously there for 8 months in muddy, mucky conditions. About 8,000 died in the fight and around 18,000 were injured.

Besides the fighting, they suffered with lice, bad food, little drinkable water, and illness.

Even though they had to withdraw, they were viewed as brave men who sacrificed everything for their countries.
