Online Shopping NOW MORE EXPENSIVE

Technology is getting addicted to everybody that online shopping is getting more and more expensive.
Most  supermarkets for example  warehouse , pakinsave , countdown and more are using online shopping  for us to pay more , when we don't have the time to even drive or walk to the market .  Online shopping is not worth the money .  Because the "online shopping " is getting  expensive people don't see the price .  They are more interested in getting what they need than , looking at , how much they are spending their money.   Once the people see how much they just spent , they will have regrets

SHARKS !!!

SHARKS !!!

Sharks are everywhere only in some places . 
Did you know that sharks don't even have bones that is weird because when they swim the look straight. 
This report is all about sharks and facts that may surprise you.

1.  Sharks have good eyesight .

Their eyes are special they can see in the dark.  You can never hide. They are fast to let you know.  Their high speed is 50 km/h. Others are more faster than 50km/h. 

2. Shark skin feels like sandpaper.

Usually when you touch a fish it feels slimy. 
When you touch a shark , there's a big difference. 
It almost feels like sandpaper .
people don't really know how the shark feels because usually the shark would eat them.

3. Sharks have been with the Dinosaurs

Did you know that sharks have been with the dino age. 
455 - 425 millennium years or more is how long the sharks were with the dinos.

Scientists don't even know if that's true because they wouldn't know because they have not even seen it themselves , 
so it can not be true at all.  

4. Most sharks have good eyesight

Most sharks can see in dark lit areas in the sea. 
Sharks have night vision and can see colours in the dark. 
The back of the sharks eyeballs are called tapetum scientific name is tapetum lucidum. 
This tapetum helps the shark see in little light.

5.  Sharks actually are  blue

Lastly the blue shark displays a  very brilliant blue color on the upper level portion of its body it  is normally snowy white beneath.
The mako and porbeagle sharks also exhibit a blue coloration, but it is not nearly as brilliant as that kind of a blue shark.
In life, most sharks are brown, olive, or grayish kinda.

After School

Yesterday  after school my friends and I went on discord ( a thing where you talk for gamers ). We were well they were talking about trading bey-blades or well that's what i think.  Soon wait there were 4 people in the call Texas , Satui , Halasika , and I . Halasika got bored and I had asked him if “do you want to play some Krunker?” Krunker (online shooting game) and he said “yes”.

Playing Krunker

It took well 20 mins for me to share the link to Halaska lol.

Eventually  He got the link and we started playing.  He was using a shotgun and I used a sniper.  He had kept losing the game and we stopped. We both got bored .  I had asked him, “What happened?” he said “ I’m going to sleep”. I said “ ok bye “

The end.

My reading group is really smart because we are the highest out of everyone.  We always work as a team and whats funny is that there is only four people in our group.  We read chapter books and others.  We always work as a team we have a talk and laugh sometimes.  We always finish our work sometimes.  We do fun things .  My reading group is the best because we are friends and we trust each other and we are kind to each other.

Our reading group name = Kaitiakitanga  

Lost Underground

The cave is as cold as ice.

It is dark that you can not see a thing.

You are trap looking for light.

You finally find light and you climb out.

You go home and say to yourself

"Wow I'm never going to be lost underground.

Riding The Waves

Riding The Waves

This week I have been reading the book Riding The Waves.  In the book it shows lots of facts like how to surf  , the safety rules and others .   I learnt that even though you are on a kind of skateboard on water  the water is very dangerous because you could drown and die .  So if you want to surf you would have to go through simple surfing steps.  There are lots of waves but those are tiny waves for kids to swim.  In Australia , Hawaii , California , and South America... They have gigantic waves for adults that have skill and have guts to swim in but sometimes some of the waves  can be  so big that some one drowns.  

There are lots of tricks when you surf ,  like the pipeline .  The pipeline is a trick on where you swim inside of the wave .  If you ask me if it is scary , well dough it is because sometimes the trick fails.  If you are a learner here a steps to begin

1. Lie on your stomach.  Pretend to paddle with both hands
2. Put your hands down flat , next to your body
3. Press up with both hands.
4. Lung forward with one leg.
5. Bring your leg back to the front and turn to the side.
6. Keep your knees bent and raise your arms and here are

I really enjoyed the book but I am still scared that if I surf I might die.

About Me

My name is Sebastian , don't mind who is next to me .  I like to play sports like soccer touch and netball even though it's for girls.  My favourite subject in school is basically all three.  My favourite thing to eat is anything but not anything.  I am a year 6.  My favourite friends are the one next to me and others.
I am really like to go to school .

My Explanation Writing

We have been learning 
about writing explanations.  
We learnt about the structure 
and how to write it.  We then 
included a simile or a metaphor.  
Here is one of my explanations.

Why Plants Grow

Today I am going to tell you why
you need plants.

Firstly plants as trees give oxygen
to people as you.  Trees are all around
you but some are not because they
are getting cut.  You should believe to
protect these plants because if we kill down
all the trees in the world you are killing
yourself.  This is a very important reason
why we should protect these plants.

Next plants can give food to people . 
Think of veggies like carrots , beetroots ,
and radish these are different to trees. 
These plants give fruits or veggies for
you to eat, but trees give air for you to
live and in return you give plants
carbon dioxide.  This type of thing is
like a life cycle.

Lastly plants give animals like birds and
others a home to live in  . plants give
animals a place for their newborns.
Trees are mostly for habitats for animals
that want to be protected.  Lastly plants
are useful to animals because animals
use the plants to hide / camouflage to
hide from predators.

You can now think about yourself
and think of trees because trees and
people are the same.

Kiwi Can

Kiwi Can

this year room 8a is having Kiwi Can a program that we are having.  Kiwi can is about learning and having fun.  We  have catch phrases like Kiwi can says speak to me truthfully and that is could honesty.  We have fun games for our energizer.  We learn about words like honesty , reliability , and our theme is Integrity.  Is is really fun and a good thing to have.

Matariki Poem

When I see Matariki,  It's always blue,Because it's the first thing that I ever knew.

When I see the sisters the come with something knew,

For something that's always cool.

Their color is powerful that shines so bright,

brighter than a star, and brighter than light.

Will they flow into the next

Matariki is one holiday that's the best.

Ripper Rugby

Ripper Rugby

Every Tuesday, after fitness Room 8a goes to ripper rugby.  Ripper rugby is a game for primary schools.  It is a very safe game, non-contact. It is a safe game for both boys and girls.  First thing Cory (instructor) tells us to do is put on a tag with two colored tags. 

How to Put On The Ripper Rugby Tag

1. first get a black belt / with two colored belts (doesn't matter any color.
2. Next make sure that the fluffy side of the belt is facing out so you can stick the two tags on.
3. Then you stick the other side to the fluffy side.
4. Lastly put the two colored tags on the side of the belt (not the front so you do not Cheat)

Having fun

Room 8a really love to have the opportunity to play ripper rugby

because they like to have fun and participate in it.  Most people really really love it because ripper rugby is similar to rugby that some people think

Pictures Of Ripper Rugby

Here is one of the pictures of when room 8a were at ripper rugby.

Sometime we would do some fun relays.  It mostly a race sometimes.

lastly this relay was different because we had to run, ten we had to bop the ball to the next person

Conclusion

Lastly we we take off our tags and roll it and put it on the ground for the next class to get ready.
