Fun facts about polar bears

Polar bear

• Polars bears are the largest carnivores on land.
• Male polar bears can weigh up to 680 Kg.
• Scientists think that there 20000 polar bears in the world.
• The scientific name for the polar bear is ursus maritimus.
• Seals are the most of a polar bear's diet. 
• Polar bears can reach up to speeds of 40km on land and 10km in the water.
• Polar bears have rough feet to stop them from slipping around on the ice.
• When it is very cold some polar bears will cover their faces to stop heat from getting out of their noses.
• Female polar bears dig a den to give birth to cubs.
• Polar bears have such amazing fur and fat and in summer it can trap a lot of heat so the polar bear gets too hot and has to lie on the ice to cool down.

Dolphins

Dolphins are awesome

What I already knew about dolphins.

Dolphins are mammals that live in the ocean.  They swim past Kaikoura and live

in pods. I have seen them doing flips out of the water along the coast of Kaikoura.  

What I learned about dolphins

Dolphins can be bred in captivity.  The study showed that captive dolphins

like to interact with humans.  Dolphins can live in sea pens in captivity.

What I want to know about dolphins.

How do they breed?

How do they communicate to each and show affection?

How many breeds of dolphins are there in the world?

How long do dolphins sleep for?

What age does the baby dolphin leave its Mum?

Colour find

Colour find

Today we did a Colour Find what's in the bag experiment.

My Mum put 6 Lego blocks into a black bag.  She said there were 2 different colours - orange and blue.  I didn't know how many were blue or how many were orange.

I predicted that there were 4 blue and 2 orange blocks.

We did 10 takes out of the bag.

Take out of the bag.	Blue	Orange
1	Yes	No
2	Yes	No
3	Yes	No
4	Yes	No
5	Yes	No
6	Yes	No
7	Yes	No
8	No	Yes
9	Yes	No
10	Yes	No

After the 4th go, I changed my prediction to 5 blue and 1 orange because I still hadn’t got an orange block.

Mum showed me the blocks in the bag when we were finished and I was correct.  There were 5 blue and 1 orange block.

Have you made a game in lock down

BOARD GAME

Today, me, my sister and Mum played a board game called ''Sorry".  This is a board game that my mum played with her sister when she was a child so my Yiayia  (grandma in Greek) kept it safe.  I will describe it for you because its a really fun game.  You need 2-4 players.  The board is set out as a track around the edge so you move your counter from start to the safe zone and then home.  Instead of a dice you use cards - they give instructions on what to do.  For example, start a man out, or move two space and take another card.  You can't start until you get a one or a two.  The best card to get for you is a card called SORRY. This card sends one of the other players counters back to start.  It is good for you but not for others.  We started off the game to a good start because I got a two so I got to start a man out and take another card. The first person to get a man into home was my sister but my mum made a massive comeback.  I was losing so my sister was mad of her winning because normally in our games whoever is losing will win.  Eventually I  won the game and my sister and Mum were facing off to get a two. "YES" said Isabella.  S he came second and my mum came third. It was a really fun game and we enjoyed it and cant wait to play it again!  What is your favourite game to play?

Run boy run!

Today we did running around the block 5 times.  You would think it is short but it is not!  My mum said to get up and do some running with me. My sister Isabella had to do it too, I wanted to time myself so I got my stopwatch.  Ready-get set- go!  My sister ran off in front of me and my mum. Well it wasn't a race but that's how my sister runs, so me and my mum just ran together. Almost there, I sprinted the last part and stopped the stopwatch.  Me and my mum got 2.47 minutes, my sister got 2 minutes. We had a rest to cool off and have a drink.  Second time I got off faster because I was ready to run. The last one was like a warm up.  "Yes!" I said to myself.  I got 2.41 minutes this time, 6 less seconds than last time.  My sister got 2.40 min.  40 more seconds than last time.  For the 3 time my sister didn't do it as she was too tired from trying to break her point shoes in, which is really hard so don't judge.  Dang I got 3.07 minutes.  That was not my best.  I was very tired so it is fair enough, my mum went inside to check if my sister wanted to do the last one.  She said no.  I almost conked out on the last one I couldn't even sprint the last 20 m so I got 3.39 minutes. When I got inside I had a big drink and went to have a shower.  I loved it and can't wait to do it again.  What sort of exercise have you been doing and can you recommend any?

Seriously

Today I was going to bike to my friends house to drop off his helmet.  When we got there I was very happy to see him, but we did have to keep our distance. We talked a lot about games and how we were going to contact each other through the games we play online.  Then we were going back home, my Dad was leading us through a very unrecognised route to the bike park.  Sadly in the bike park, dad was taking us to a one way trail that was going the wrong way, so we had to go back.  Seriously I said to Dad, listen to Mum.  Me, my Mum and sister knew which way to go so my Dad just stayed behind.  When we got home I was so hungry but I was still really happy to see my friend!! 

Cake cake cake!

 Two days ago it was Saturday and I want to tell you all about it. I woke up not wanting to get up it took a long time for my sister to wake up to but finely we woke up the day was on to a rough start until I saw my breakfast waiting to be eaten. It was a toasted bagel with cream cheese - yummy! Always we go for a walk in the morning. We didn't go for a long walk but we did go for a nice walk.  When we got home I was really bored but then my mum asked me if I wanted to bake a cake. I definitely said yes, who can't resist a cake.  We were making a chocolate cake when my sister got off from reading. She helped me stir the mixture in while my Mum was getting the cake tin ready.  The cake was delicious and I was happy I made it. I think it was my favourite part of the day.

Bike jumps

Today I did some awesome jumps on my bike.  They were both drop offs. If you were wondering what they are, they are some kind of jump that you are on a platform then you drop off a ledge. One of my drop offs were harder than the other because you had to go up to do it then you don't get much speed to drop off so you kind of just have to trust your self to go down. Why I wanted to do them, is because my Dad took me to the skate park to do some jumps and then he showed me what he could do, so I copied.  I think I am awesome at doing bike stunts and I cant wait to learn more.  Tomorrow I am going to start to learn how to do wheelies!! I am very excited.  Do you use your bike to do stunts like me?

Sorry there are no videos they are on my mums phone and we couldn't figure out how my mum could send them to me😢.

Another day in quarantine

The start of the day I just finished my Lego.  It was a Star Wars Lego set. It was hard to make but I just finished it so I am really happy.  After we went for a walk like every morning, today the walk was much shorter I thought it would be. The sun came out so my Mum went out to do the garden and pick some Cranberries so I went out to play with my Lego.  My friend Daniel started calling on face time so I was happy to see him.  Almost the end of the day we went bike riding on the same track I did yesterday.

Bike ride

Hello guys. Yesterday I went bike riding in Burwood Forest and I want to tell you about it. When my Mum said we were going for a bike ride I didn't want to because I was playing on the device but when I got out I was much more happy.  At Burwood Forest we went on a track to a big hill. We had to ride up a big hill to a watch tower.  After we had some photos we went down hill.  I went in front because I am the fastest going down hill.  After down hill we went up a sharp hill.  You know that it's best to go up a big hill because you get to down after.  We went into a lot of bush and dry grass to get out. After we went out of the track we went home to have a shower. The bike ride was really fun I said to my Mum and now I want to do it again! 

Do you like going for bike rides and where do you like to go?
