Argument

Here I am again with another argument but this time it is about banning 1080 poison and if you do not like 1080 poison good on you. Why because we should not need it we can hopefully keep it under control and if other countries have banned it then why can't we. And its also killing native birds and it has a cycle affect.

Should 1080 poison be banned?🖒🖓

I think 1080 poison should be banned because it's killing more than the d.o.c {department of conversation} wants to kill. It's also getting into waterways and animals are drinking the water. 1080 poison probably kills more birds than rodents do. Experts say that 1080 is banned in several countries including Brazil, Belize, Cuba, Laos, Slovenia and Thailand so why can't we ban it.

First of all it is killing more than its supposed to.its killing more than possums and rats its killing native birds.  Why can't we find different ways that is just as good can't we just use loads of traps, I have killed about ten rats this last month if we can get loads of traps all over the place we would probably have good control over the pests.

Secondly It’s getting into waterways. I’ve done the research It does not kill marine life, but animals will drink from creeks then probably die in the creek if there grazing or sleeping on the bank of the creek So making the creeks unsafe.

 Lastly It might actually be killing more than rodents do. so there might actually no point in using it expert say “1080 kills  everything—native animals as well as introduced pests.” Australia's native mammals, birds and reptiles have developed much higher tolerance to 1080 than introduced animals, due to their evolution with naturally occurring 1080 in some native plants. ... “1080 kills only domestic dogs, it doesn't kill wild dogs.

So  just a recount 1080 should be banned in new zealand because it's not just killing pests, its getting into waterways and It's probably killing more than pests do. Thank you for understanding

Wearable Arts

Hi today I'm going to tell you what my group is doing for wearable arts. First I need to tell you who is in my group it use to be Finn, James and I but James left the group and now we have Vin. Our project is a kiwi, how we are doing it is we have cage of chicken wire to hold the fabric. What are doing for the mask is we are paper mache a balloon and then we will cut it in half and paint it brown the beak is still a working progress but we think we will be able to pull it off.

Basic Algebra

Today I'm going to teach basic algebra. In math we have been focusing on algebra and I'm going to teach it to you unless you don't want me to if so close this tab if you want me to teach you then click this and go on the slide. So did you get those questions? Great job.

language

Hi its Marlin again and I just want to talk about what we are doing in the classroom. Lately we have been learning about Italy and we are going to learn the basic words. We have already  looked at the shape of Italy its kind of a boot kicking a ball. Here are a few basic words in  Italian.                                                                    

  Ciao - Hello

Buon giorno - Good morning

Buona sera - Good evening

Si - yes

No - no

Grazie - thank you

production

Hello again its Marlin and I'm here to talk about the Production. The Production was done in week 3 term 3 at Grey Main School and it was a blast, although there was a lot of practising even on Sundays but it really paid off as loads of people was there. We did three shows one on Thursday 7pm, Friday 7pm and Saturday 1pm then after the Saturday show we had the after party. Other than the work it was pretty fun but if I had the choice of doing it again I would probably not do it. So that's one more thing about the Production.

Coordinates

 Hi there marlin here with more maths DLO's and this time its about coordinates. Coordinates are things like if you have a square with on the x axis you have a-g grid and on the y axis is 1-7 and you wanted to mark the middle of that square you would say d-4 and you would hit the bulls eye. If you've played battleships you will probably know the coordinates but still please click this link

Enlargement

 Hi its Marlin again this week we've been doing enlargements for maths. At the start we started using ordinary shapes and enlarged them by mostly 2 - 4  squares bigger. But in week 4 we got a cartoon character and printed it to an A4 piece of paper and drew 1x1 cm squares on it, seen how many squares  it took up on the y and x axis and then divided that number by the A2 piece of paper length (59cm) and width  (42cm) and then enlarged it by that amount. my cartoon character was PAC Man.
