I hope you enjoy what I have done or if your reading my caption first enjoy I hope you like it. I spent a lot of time making this.

My epitaph poem

 There once was a guy called wail

he stood on a very big nail

it went through his foot

and now he's woken up toooo... heaven


Today we have done writing and for writing, we did some poetry. An epitaph poem is a made up poem about someone that dies but thankfully it is not true unless you want it to be true. Poetry is when you write a list of things about one thing but certain poems don't need to rhyme like most. The poem we did is called an epitaph poem it is a poem that needs to rhyme. I liked that I could do about anything I wanted to so it was easy because I know a lot about dogs. my poem was about dogs like you can see in the title. I hope you enjoy my poem and think it's good thank you for reading it.

About my life in lockdown.

 


Today we did a back-to-school post on how we feel about being back to school and what we did in lockdown. My post is about what activity I liked the most in lockdown, and how I feel about being back at school, but since I don't really like school in my opinion so I felt a little bit upset but not enough to cry. I liked that it was easy because I actually remembered what I did. I didn't like that it was hard to do, because some of the work was actually hard but only one thing was hard luckily. I hope you enjoy what I have done or did enjoy what I did if you have already read my work.

Octopus Writing.

An octopus has 8 arms to catch enough food and move around. An octopus has suction on its legs called suckers and they help octopods to move around. The octopus has a brain in every leg and 3 brains in its head.



The life cycle of an octopus.

The life cycle of an octopus comes from an egg and then it turns into a larva which is a young/baby octopus, next is a juvenile which is like a teenage octopus, and last is the adult. All octopods are the same but in their different ways eg: they move around the same, and they have the same shaped body but some are smaller than others.



What are their habitats?

The octopus habitat is anywhere around the world but their main habitat is in marine coastal waters. A lot of other octopods live in their dens which are around the US and other places near that so like I said before all around the WORLD.



The food chain of an octopus.

octopods feed on clams, fish, and even other octopods like themselves which is called a cannibal. crustacean is a dried-up food that octopods feed on. crustacean is the main food that they eat but it is not the most common for them because they live in the ocean and crustacean is dried up food.



The species of an octopus.

The species is an animal but in different styles than the other, that has the same name. The Atlantic pygmy octopus is a rare and very fascinating octopus to research but we haven't been able to research it in time because we had to pick a few species but we only got one in time.


Hi, my name is Curtis and I have written so that you can learn about octopods which is an octopus but a group of them. For a couple of days now we have been researching octopods. this is what I did and you can see my group's work down at the bottom of my caption. I liked that I tried my best and that I did pretty good for the amount of information that I wrote down. I didn't like that we have a week or two to actually research, but then today we wrote it down so I could have added more if I could concentrate when we were researching because then we could have written more down. I hope you enjoy and learn something off of this or did enjoy my facts.   http://paroagreyjaria.blogspot.com/                                                                                                                  https://paroagreyemily.blogspot.com/                                                                                                                https://gmsellah4373.blogspot.com/

The 10 great walks of NZ.

 


Today I and my class did a quiz and then we had to discover one of the quiz questions and the quiz question that we had to do was what are the 10 great walks of New Zealand and if you are into hiking then this slide and these walks would be very helpful for you. I liked that we were allowed to research because otherwise, I would have no clue what to do. Something else that I liked was that I worked my best to get it done and I got it done so I am happy. I  didn't like that it took me so long just to do what I did. I hope you enjoy the slide or did enjoy it. I hope you like these walks and manage to do sometime if you are into this sort of stuff.

I hope that you enjoy or enjoyed what I had done for my word of the week.

Fractions.

 


Today we did some fractions at school and this is what I did and I also helped out my friend a little bit so that he could do it as well. I liked that it was easy and I tried my best. I didn't like that it was sort of hard on the comparing questions because one of them I didn't understand properly and was just originally hard. I hope you enjoyed and thought I got it right.

Why we want solar panels at school.

I am Curtis Turner, and I am writing to you about why we should have solar panels at Paroa School. 

I think we should have solar panels at school because It helps the environment even though it uses more money but some people can make them cheaper. it helps the environment because it absorbs energy, from the sun and the clouds and you have to pay for the solar panels once so it all eventually adds up. 

Solar panels cost around $17,000 each or for two solar panels, I'm not quite sure how many. Solar panels can be cheaper but it depends on what company you buy them from. some schools have solar panels on their roofs but we will be the first on the west coast.

To cover the main 3 roofs and power the school we will need 47 solar panels at our school. We would need to fundraise a lot of money but eventually, it will work. We would still need the wifi obviously because that can't be powered by solar panels.

In conclusion I beleive that we should have solar panels so please think about it happening.


Today we have been writing letters to the pta and this is what I have written down, I hope that if you are reading this and you are apart of the pta you can do this for us. I liked that I had a couple of ideas so that made it a little bit easier. I didn't like that I had to think for a while because some of this I made off of my head.

Solar panels and the cardboard map.

 



For the last 2 weeks, we have been making a couple slides and a map of our school. I liked that it was Harry, Jesse, and I so that we could finish it faster and make it better than we probably would of and, I tried my best. I didn't like that it took so long for me to do it. I hope you enjoy or did enjoy what I made and wrote down with my friends that wanted to help me with the project and the ones that actually came to school. I learned that solar panels are $17,000 and the solar panels use around 1.7 to 1.8 kilowatts or kw which is short for kilowatts. I also learned that to power our school with solar panels, we would need 47 solar panels which is a lot of money and solar panels.

Energy.

 


For the past two weeks, we have been researching how Tokelau gets their energy from that far away. I liked that it was easy and I tried my best next I will have a cardboard map of my school unless I don't finish it in time. I didn't like that it took me longer than I thought because some people are already done so I have been pretty bored because I wanted to do the cardboard creation stuff.

Energy.

 How do wind and the sun affect your daily life? The sun affects your daily life by giving you light and some people power. The wind affects your daily life by being able to fly a kite.


What activities do you do that engage the energy of the sun and wind?

I go outside and play with my dog by throwing a bone or a dog toy for her. I also go to the beach and feel the breeze when it is really hot so I don’t faint.

The ways Tawhirimatua influences us.

He influences me by making me want to try bodyboarding because the waves he makes look cool and fun to bodyboard on.


This week we have been researching more energy stuff. I liked that we had a book to read off of. I didn't like that it was hard to find the stuff I wanted to wright down.

School rock climbing wall.


Dear PTA and whoever is reading this. For the last couple of weeks, we have been doing persuasive writing to try and get some stuff from either our parents or a company. I liked that I tried my best even though it was hard. I didn't like that it took me over a week or over 2 weeks to actually finish. I hope that you enjoy or did enjoy what I wrote please consider doing but you don't have to do it. Sincerely Curtis Turner.

Energy

 


Yesterday our whole class split up into four different groups. We were writing down what we already know as a group and presenting it to the whole class afterward. I liked that we did it in a group and not individually. I didn't like that I didn't know much because we haven't done much electricity.

Descriptive writing of what I did in the holidays.

 Once when I was on a holiday with my Mum and Caiden, we went to flip out in Christchurch. Caiden and I had fun while we were there, I was sweating a lot because I and Caiden were robbing the cushion things that flip out have. We were hopping around like bunnies, a lot around all of flip out and it's very big which is also very tiring, as it is bigger than it looks on the inside than it looks on the outside. I and Caiden were at flip out for over two hours which is surprising because we bought for one or two hours so I and Caiden were excited that we got more than two hours. we had to go a little bit early because we were leaving Christchurch that day and coming back into Greymouth. I liked doing flips into the foam pit even know it gave me a bit of a fright my first time doing it. and I also liked just regularly jumping because the tramps were really good so they bounced me really far into the foam pit. The foam pit is about 5-7 meters long and about 10-11 meters wide. I hurt myself a little bit from jumping from the high places and then falling on my knees because my legs couldn't hold me up but now they might be able to I also got trampoline burn which hurt. THE END thank you for reading my story. By: Curtis.

For the past week, I and the rest of the class have been doing descriptive writing. I liked that I could do whatever I did in the holidays and I tried to be descriptive. I didn't like that I had to remember it because I could have done more if my head wasn't full of stuff.

getting to know me.



The week we have been making our all about me/getting to know me slide. I liked that I found it kind of easy and I tried my best to create myself. I didn't like that I had to make a background because I like to be BTB and make my work detailed.
