I am going for a trip to the bottom of the
ocean I will need to take……

Scuba diving suit.

One silky smooth Scuba diving suit

That has metal that lets out heat

Soft spongy stuffing

A nice smooth salty grey on the outside

To keep me warm

Submarine

One big black submarine

On the inside It’s warm cosy ,soft ,spongy
and squishy

 On the outside it is a soft warm buttercup
yellow 

With black tinted windows 

To take me to the bottom of the ocean. 

One large air tank

That is mat black on the outside

And soft silver gray on the inside

That puffs out fresh air

To help me breath underwater when
I explore the ocean. 

A small underwater camera 

Thats soft grey 

With a transparent 50 inch screen 

To see out of when I am taking pictures

For taking pictures under the ocean
And of course my friend James 

So I don't get lonely

Rugby League

            Rugby league

                   Rugby league is a great sport to take up. It is      

                         popular around the world.

Firstly, rugby league is a great sport because you get fit,Strong and you can get great fast thinking. It makes you fit from the trainings. Trainings get you better at tackling, reaction times, passing and kicking. Rugby league also develops fast thinking because you have to think quickly about where to pass the ball and you have to think quickly what you are going to do.

Secondly, more and more people should play rugby league because it is very fun and good for you. As technology grows more people are becoming gamers and are playing less and less rugby league and that’s not good because people are getting lazy. Rugby league is good for you because people have fun playing it and it makes you feel happy. It is also good for you because you are getting outside and getting outside and being active.

Finally, it is a good way to make friends.You meet different people. You can play for different teams. When you get older and make it in a team like Kiwis or other teams you will travel the world but thats if you want to keep on playing. Rugby league is a great way to make friends.

In conclusion, Rugby League is a great sport because it gets you fit,strong and makes you think fast. Also it is fun and good for you and it is a good way to make friends.   

As you can see, this is why you should play Rugby League.

Toki Pounamu Film Festival

Toki Pounamu Film Festival

Today Karoro school went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival at the  Regent
Theatre to watch about 5 or 4 school films that they made. I enjoyed the 1st one
because it was a crime/robbery film about a girl who robbed a bank and I liked
it because it was funny to watch. I think that the slow mode was really well
done. It was different to the other films because the other ones were about
our Greymouth. I think the people that made it did really well. I hope we go
next year to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival.

Kiwi collage

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drive. We had to use the example,mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together.We had to make a NZ kiwi  bird and put it into its habitat. It was lots of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you had a go at this?

Katydid

Katydid are shaped like a leaf. They have wings so they can fly. Their wings
fold along their abdomen. When they are young their wings are 10mm and
when they are an adult it is 40mm.Their bodies are 15m long. Females are
equipped with a long straight ovipositor for laying eggs in soil just like a weta.
Did you know that their bite can be strong. Their common names are katydid,
kiki pounamu and they are also known as NZ bush cricket. There are two
main types in NZ of Katydid. The two types are the leaf shaped katydid and
the longhorn grasshopper or meadow katydid. Katydid bodies look like leaves.
They are a lite green. When they are young they have a bright pink on them.
The meadow katydid often have broun wings. They are a type of grasshopper.
They have got big back legs so they can jump and their antennae can be 2-3
times the length of their bodies to help them navigate in the dark. They have
very good camouflage in the bush. Like weta their ears are on their front legs.

Habitat

Katydid live throughout NZ. They are common in NZ.

Feeding

Katydid mostly eat leaves and grass but they have been known to eat fruit and
a few tiny insects. 

 Social behavior

Katydids make a chirping sound. The’re nocturnal so they come out at night. 

Threats

Katydid get eaten by cats, possums, rats and stoats.They are not threatened,
which means they are not endangered. 

When you are in the garden look out for the katydid. They are a cool insect.
Make sure you look after them.
