Triangles DLO

This is my trangles DLO that I have created for people who need help with identifying the sides and angles of the triangle!

Valerie Adams has a barbie doll made after her!


New Zealand Shot putter professional Valerie Adams has now gt a Barbie doll made after her.


The reason Valerie Adams has a barbie doll made after her is because she was chosen as New Zealand's barbie role model for 2020. 

Valerie Adams is the second woman in New Zealand to become a barbie doll!

Mattel ((The brand that makes barbies)) pick a inspiring woman each year from around the globe and this year it happened to be Valerie.

Valerie deserves to have a barbie doll made after her because she has inspired many children and adults. Also is a four-time World champion, four-time World Indoor champion, two-time Olympic, three-time Commonwealth Games champion and twice IAAF Continental Cup winner.

The Barbie doll comes with a shot put and a sports bag.


The Mattel factory head quarters is in El Segundo, California Here is a map of where it is:

Honesty

This is a google drawing that I made and I wrote about Honesty and Lying. I hope you learn the importance of Honesty if you havent already! -Enjoy

Plant sketching

Last Friday I drew a few leaves of a Rimu tree. Here is the actual leaves and here is my drawing!

I also wrote a description and Identification in my book. This is what I wrote.
Description:This plant is a light green colour and it has sharp leaves that point upwards. This plant is the king of the forest and it is very common in the NZ bush.

Identification: This plant is called a Rimu and my drawing is only of a few leaves. Rimu is a large tree that grows up to 50m tall. Rimu trees grow very slowly reaching 800-900 years old. Rimu trees have very droopy leaves. The trunks of the Rimu trees are very thick and the bark is a red colour.

At my school from now on every Monday we have INTERCHANGE!!!

Our interchange classes are New Zealand history with Mrs Prendergast,Geography with Miss Hines and Science with Miss Power.
This week on Monday in New Zealand history we watched a interesting video about who first discovered NZ. In Geography we had to name all of the continents that make up the world and also circle all of those continents on a map. Lastly in science we did a experiment called spinning water and you had to grab a cup tie string on the sides fill it half way with water an spin it around and I was kinda surprised because the water actually stayed in the cup. "WOW"

My Dog Sunny infomation report

                                                               ~Hello FRIENDS~
In my class we have been learning how to do information reports. This is my Information report about                                                         my dog Sunny I hope you enjoy it!
                                                              Do you have a dog?
My dog Sunny

Have you ever had a dog that is VERY crazy
and emotional at the same time? Well I do.
My dog is called Sunny and he is my first ever dog.
Let me tell you all about him.


Last year I REALLY wanted a dog and I went ON and
ON about it. I went on and on about wanting a dog
for about the whole year by then my mum had said no
but I understood because she isnt a dog person and we
wouldn't have the time for one at her house because we
are always at school and work and also we live next to a
highway so that is very dangerous for a dog BUT my
dad never said no so I kept begging him. I would always
look online like on Trade Me and Facebook for dogs to
potentially adopt and then I found THE ONE. I found
the dog on trade me and it wasn't just one dog it was
actually a bunch of dogs that were the same breed.
Dad took me down the street to his friends house to
look at his dog because is was the same breed of dog
that the dogs were on trade me. When we got there
I really liked the dog and I really wanted one. Soon
after Dad said that we are going to look at the dogs
we saw on trade me so we went on about a 40 minute drive up to were the dogs were. I had a look at them and they were so cute. Dad told me that we were gonna get one and asked me what one I wanted to pick. My eyes lit up and I had a good look at all the dogs. All of the dogs were the same breed and the same age but some were white with black spots and some were white with brown spots. I immediately chose the second smallest dog he was so cute and little he has brown spots. I was so shocked that dad actually let me have a dog well I mean I was quite annoying when I was literally begging for a dog. As soon as we left with the dog I came up with a name and I choose SUNNY! I just thought that name was so perfect for him because the sun would kind of reflect off his brown face and spots. He also looked like he was full of sunshine.

Sunny is quite a lot older now, He is almost two years old and you may be wondering what breed he is and what he actually looks like other than the brown face and brown spots. Well Sunny is a Springer Spaniel and he has a long nose with a white streak going down it and big floppy ears with long fur on it. Sunny is a very silly dog and some of the stupid things hes done are run into doors,bark at my mirror at night,bark at my big shrek toy and when he goes for walks sometimes he accidentally gets himself tangled up in his leash and then he walks funny because he is tangled. Sunny loves to interact with kids and other dogs. His favourite thing to do is go swimming and play fetch on the beach. He could do that for days on end. Sunny is very hard to train. I have trained him to sit,shake hands,drop a ball,come,fetch,turn around,roll over,lay down and stand up. But he only does those things when he is focused. Sunny is surprisingly emotional. You can definitely tell when he is happy and when he is sad or scared. When he is happy his ears are up and he is usually panting because he has been running around also his eyes are lit up. When he is sad his ears are down and his eyes just show that he is sad. Also he usually leans on you when he is sad or when he just wants pats!


Sunny is very good at quite a few things. He is good at
sniffing things out which comes in very handy for
retrieving ducks. Springer spaniels are used in hunting
to retrieve ducks once they have been shot. Sunny is
getting trained to retrieve them and he is doing pretty
well because he can easily find were the duck is.
In his training we have a duck wing and we have to
rub in on the lawn and hide it somewhere then we
let Sunny come and find the wing and it usually only
takes from 15-30 seconds. The bad things about Sunny 
hunting is that he is scared of loud noises such as a
Vacuum cleaner which is not good because he needs to
be around a gun and get used to the loud noise and
know when to retrieve the duck. Also another bad thing
is that he needs to learn to be soft with his mouth
while carrying the duck because at the moment he just
thinks its a toy and you wouldn't want bite marks in
your dinner.



I love my dog Sunny so much he is
such a unique dog and no other dog
is quite like him. He is a big softy
and he loves being around people.
I think he will be good at retrieving
ducks and I hope that he enjoys the
rest of his life with me!
