Mischa's quick write

In the weekend I went to Guy Forks with my friends, Jade, Hayley and Jades little cousin. At Guy forks we went on the same ride about four times then bought some ice cream and candyfloss. Afterwards we had a high five competition than met up with Paige and went on the same ride as before while the fireworks blasted off into the sky. When the fire works finished we walked home.

I Wonder question of the week, how could we reduce NZ possum numbers?

This Week I thought hard about this question and did lots of research because I don't know much about possums!

If you didn't know that possums are a threat, why? because....

1. Possums compete with native birds for habitat and for food such as insects and berries.

2.They also disturb nesting birds, eat their eggs and chicks and may impact on native land snails.

3.Possums ignore old leaves and select the best new growth.

This is why we need hunt possums to help save the native animals!

Calf club Activities

Today at school we made miniature gardens! The rules were that we had to bring our own supplies, that the garden had to be on a dinner plate/tray and we couldn't buy anything at the store. My theme was Alice In Wonderland. To make my garden I used sticks, pom poms, glitter, cardboard, paper, a doll, plastic red and white mushrooms and e.t.c. After we finished our gardens we presented them to other classes than made a blog post about them!

Current events, Fussy Diet causes blindness

                                                              

A diet of hot chips, Coke and nothing else nearly blinded Australian, Cian Moore.

His mum, Kerry Moore, had tried ophthalmologists and pediatricians trying to figure out why her sons blindness kept growing and growing. But nobody had an answer!

Than Cian's parents saw Sydney ophthalmologist Stephanie Watson attempting to find out what was causing his blindness, turns out he had vitamin A deficiency.

When Cian was young he had fussy eating habits and all he ate was chicken, potatoes, dried bread and coke, this was obviously very unhealthy, unhealthy enough that he started going blind!

Cian is 16 now and is eating lots of vitamin A and his left eye is basically perfect now but his right eye is permanently blind.
