Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant is a nba player. He plays for the Brooklyn Nets. He has played in team USA. his long arms made him good for dunking and blocking shots. When he was a kid he would run two miles from his grandma’s house to the gym, and sometimes sleep at the gym or have his dinner at the gym, then ran back home again.
I give this book a four out of five because
I liked the describing words in the book and the pictures.

I recommend this book to people who like to play basketball.


Thank You for reading my book report.

Question time: what is your favorite book?

letter writing week five.

Hello bloggers, over the past few weeks, we have been learning to write both formal and informal letter. here is an example of a letter I wrote about a political event in New Zealand's past. here is my letter.

Dear Mr Muldoon,

Do you now about racism? if yes why are you letting this country into our country? the South African's racist and I do not agree with you. I  have been talking with my Neighbors and they have agreed with me and I bet a lot of other people in this country have agreed with this. I hope you have taken my speech into consideration.

Sincerely,

Zac Kelly

Letter writing!

For writing last week we had to write a letter to a family member. this is my letter.

28/1914

Dear Mum,

I am at war in Gallipoli trying to win the war for Britain. Right now we are sleeping in a shelter so we do not get blown up. I am scared. I do not want to die like all of the other people on this island. I am sad that most of my friends died so now I have no friends. 
Please can you write back to me it is so depressing here.

Sincerely,

Zac Kelly

what is a polar ice cap?

Polar ice caps are dome-shaped sheets of ice found near the North and South Poles. They form because high-latitude polar regions receive less heat from the Sun than other areas on Earth. As a result, average temperatures at the poles can be very cold.

The polar ice caps contain the majority of Earth's supply of freshwater. In fact, scientists estimate that 70 percent of Earth's freshwater supply remains in an ice sheet at the South Pole.

Unfortunately, average temperatures at the poles have begun to rise in recent years due to changes in the environment. As temperatures rise, the polar ice caps start to melt and break apart. NASA satellite photographs show that the polar ice caps are shrinking 9 percent every 10 years.

The changing environment at the poles affects native people, animals, and plants. Animals such as seals, polar bears, and whales may be forced to change their natural migration patterns. People who live in coastal villages may have to abandon their homes as sea levels rise.

The effects of the melting polar ice caps may one day be felt well beyond the poles, though. As the polar ice caps shrink, sea levels begin to rise, creating serious problems for coastal areas around the globe.

Fortunately, we can do our part to slow down and prevent the environmental changes causing the polar ice caps to melt. Scientists blame the use of fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and gasoline, for the production of gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to higher average temperatures. Scientists call this phenomenon “global warming."

What can you do to prevent global warming? Conserve energy! Some communities have begun to use renewable resources, such as solar energy (from the Sun) and wind power. Doing your part, though, can be as simple as turning off a light switch when you leave a room!

I like math boards #2

Hi bloggers, my name is Zac and I go to St Francis of Assisi school Christchurch.

So my class had to do a math board for the week. this is my math board for the week!

 

And that was my math board for the week. 

thank you bye bye

Why you get wrinkles on your skin when you swim

Have you ever wondered why you get wrinkles on your skin when you take a long hot shower or bath? Or why when you get wrinkles on your skin when you have been in the pool for a while and your skin starts to get cringley weird thick, lines well in this text I will tell you why you get wrinkles on you skin.

Well you might be wondering why you get wrinkles. As you get older you bodie get thinner, drier and less flexeibull, and less able to protect itself from getting damaged or hurt.

When you are in the water you bodie needs grip to hang on to the side of the pool, well the water gives wrinkles thinken your skin and it makes your fingers get wrinkles and then you don’t fall in the water so it is a win win situation!



And that is why you get wrinkles!! 

Back in time to Ferrymead

Hi bloggers, I am Zac and my hub went to Ferrymead to learn about what things were like back in the day. We went on Tuesday the 29 of October 2019.

First we where greeted by a man named Robert. he told us the rules about Ferrymead and told us that we have to take some photos and we had to answer some question about the places that we where looking at. Next we had to dress up as old school clothes, the boys looked like this...

 

And the girls looked like this... 

Now we had to go into a big hall to get into our groups and to eat and play a game called Money or the bag. Half of the groups went of and had morning tea and the other half played money or the bag. I was in was group six our group leader was Brendan (Lily's dad) Me, Lily, Taine, Lara, Jack and Peita. we got to play the game first we had to listen to some music and we had to guess what the song was about. Charlie Lingaurd got it right and he was the first person to get it right and now he has to answer the question in the bag. he got both of them right and now Robert said 3 pennys money or the bag charlie said bag and then he offered 6 pennys money or the bag charlie said bag and then he got a chocolate. then we had some more people had a go and then we had morning tea. they let us eat animal cookies fruit and lammingtins. Next we went to look at all of the places at Ferrymead. 

My high light of the trip was when we went into the old school and we put our acting skills on to try and act like it was in the old days. the teacher made the boys sit on one side of the room and the girls on the other, when someone talked over the teacher he would hit the desk with the cane. We had to write with ink pen. Here is a photo our hub in the classroom!!

At the end of our time at Ferrymead we got to go on the tram. we where split into the groups that we where in for the morning tea breaks and to play money or the bag and then we got to travel around the hole park.

And lastly my question what is a blog with out a question. have you been to Ferrymead and if you have what was your favorite part about your trip?
