The Food Bank

The food bank is a place or website that people can contact or visit if they are struggling to find the money to buy food. All the food they donate is from other very nice people that donate the food to them. They donate thousands of food parcels to the people in need every year. One way you could donate food to them is by finding their web site. From there they would be able to help you find your local food bank.

Explanation Writing

This is my Explanation writing. This week we got to chose what we wanted to write about, so I chose to do mine about Cheetahs.

Question I am Answering:How cheetahs run fast

The way cheetahs run fast and the way they hunt their prey and chase them down. The cheetahs can
run very fast but not very long their longest running time is around 13 - 14 seconds.

How the legs move fast

Their claws are always out and are non-retractable so they can run faster with extra grip. Cheetahs
have a very different spine as it can expand and then retract to give their legs a boost, This allows
them to be able to run very fast but if they don't catch their prey within a very short time they will
stop chasing them.

Hunting prey

When a Cheetah spots food it will slowly sneak up on it until they are close enough to chase
it down, but this isn't always what happens, they don't always end up with their food they wanted.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal on earth but they cant run as long as other animals. Things like
a rabbit can run fast and outrun them if the cheetah has no breath left.

Performance

One that makes Cheetahs super fast is their genetics. If they didn't have their genetics they would be
a lot slower than they are now. Most cheetahs run the same way but cheetahs that are born with
deformations may not be able to run as fast as others.

 

Matariki Reading

Today for read I did another form this about what I now know about Matariki. This Is some of what I have learned from reading the article

Matariki is the sign of the Maori new year. Matariki has 9 stars in it and the 7 of them are the sisters. Matariki is a constellation of stars that happen once every year, and it doesn't happen at the same time every year.

Matariki is really interesting for me as it teaches me new things about my culture and New Zealand.

Matariki Reading

Today for reading on Matariki I read the article. I think that the article was interesting because it told new things about Matariki and the way they celebrate it. One fact I found interesting is that there is 500 stars that make up the whole of Matariki and the way that they celebrate it.

Reading Work: Matariki

This week for reading my group is reading about Matariki. Our first task is to fill out a form of what we already know about Matariki. Matariki Celebrates the Māori new year. It includes the 7 stars or sisters. Their names are: Tupuanuku, Tupuarangi, Waiti and Waita, Waipuna, rangi, Ururangi and Matariki. Matariki Is the mother of the sisters, the only time matariki
