Ferrymead Heritage Park.

Hi everyone,

We went to Ferrymead Heritage Park and I got to ride on the train and the tram. The train I went on is actually called a a rail car. 

When we arrived at Ferrymead, we got admission tickets to get into town. We walked about until we reached the tram  stop. The tram brought us around town. The town is an old fashioned town with a bank, jail, school, church, bakery, cinema and shops. 

 After the tram ride, we walked to the train station to get tickets for a ride on the rail car.

We also went the mini train display.  When we push the red button on the wall, the mini trains went around the tracks. It was amazing.

I enjoyed myself very much and my favourite part of this visit is looking at the mini trains and tram ride. 

International Antarctic Centre

Hello everyone,

Today mum and I went to The International Antarctic Centre while  John went to mush the huskies.  

We started with the Hagglund ride. It is a special vehicle that can climb steep hills and rough terrain. The ride was very bumpy but I enjoyed it. 

Then we watched the keeper feed the penguins. The penguins shiver when they are hot but I shiver when I am cold. The penguins were fed little fish. I like to see the penguins swim in the water. 

This was followed by watching a 4D  movie [The Small Foot]. The theatre had  special effects  like snow storm, water spray and the seats shook during the exciting parts. 

I also went to pat and had my photo taken with a husky. Its fur is so soft and the huskies were so gentle.  

After that we went to the Storm Dome. It was so cold [-18'c] and I only lasted a few minutes in there. 

We also went to the Antarctic Gallery where I  learnt the about the food chain; 

krill <---gets eaten by---> penguin <---gets eaten by ---> seal <---gets eaten by---> killer  whale.

 

Mum and I ate at  the cafe while waiting for John to finish his programme. I enjoyed myself very much today and my favourite part was the Hagglund ride.

About blogs

Hi everyone 

I did a blog scavenger hunt on Lukas from Rawhiti school and compared with my own blog. 

What I have learnt about blogs today is that blogs show 

1. URL/ Blog links 

2. How many visitors 

3  Who left the last comment 

4. Labels 

I also noticed my blog didn't  show where the visitors are from. The 'About Me' section is empty in both blogs.

Weekend Reading

Hello everyone

Over this weekend. I did some reading activities. I read the books 'Robot at the Zoo' and 'Snack Time'. 

 

Snack Time 

After reading this book, Mum and I played a memory game where I told her the fruit eaten on Saturday (pear), Sunday (grapes), Monday (apples), Tuesday (plum), Wednesday (banana), Thursday (strawberry) and Friday (orange). I also drew and painted the fruits in my art book.

 

Robot At The Zoo

After reading this book, we discussed about the food eaten by the animals .I learnt that:  

Carnivores - eat meat (like lion & tiger), 

Herbivores - eat plants (like elephant & zebra)

Omnivores-   eat both meat and plants (like bear & rat )

Cannibals - eat its own kind (like tuatara)

We also looked at:

Orana Wildlife Park and the things that we can do there

Tuatara - did you know that 'Tuatara' means peaks on the back in Maori?

Tortoise - did you know they can live till 80 - 120 years old?   

Bakugan

Hi everyone

It was my birthday on 29 May 2020, Friday. Mum and Dad  got me some Bakugans. It is the most interesting toys and I love mine.

How to play the game 

The Roll

Step #1 - Each player selects 3 favourite Bakugans and set up the core matrix with BakuCores. 

Step #2 - Each player take turns to roll one Bakugan towards the BakuCore. The Bakugan will open                     when it lands on a BakuCore. 

The brawl

Step #3 -  Add the total from that Bakucore to the Bakugan Character Card. Higher total wins.

The win 

Step #4 - Continue. The player to win 3 brawls wins the game.

This is a video of the game
