Angles

 In kakapo we are learning about angles acute and obtuse these two are very different to each other An Acute is less than 90 degrees which makes the degree of acute is 45 degrees
how to measure an angle is using a protactor this tool measures the angle that you are working on like the images down below, what you do first is put the centre of the protactor in the Conner of the angle and in the middle of the ruler starting from the bottom to the top it will tell the degree of the angle like 90 degrees 180 and ETC. An obtuse is another angle it is slightly bigger than others.It is more than 90 degrees and less that 180 degrees.

David Attenbrough/A life on our planet

 This week kakapo class has been watching a documentary about  environment crisis deforestation,plastic waste,coral dying,and the life of land and sea animals dying.The person studying this is David Attenbrough

He is a only person making the world a better place like he said if we look after mother nature it would look after us,in his younger years he studded about wild life in his late 20s discovering the world in his life time he doesn't count him self as an animal lover but he has be fascinated about them.

In the documentary he talks about golbel warming as people create machines to help people to be more efficient and live life easier but the gases being released into the atmosphere then  breaking the ozone layer making the ice melt then just becoming nothing.

The coral reefs dying the beauty that lives inside it is very sad because the  ocean was warming,if the ocean  is warming that means coral reefs will turn white then will be dark black and all marine animals will have no homes or food to eat.

The waste of plastic,People poullout all most everyday the amount of plastic world wide is 250 million a day plastic is made out of materials like cellulose,coal,natural gas and salt.Plastic is very dangerous because Marine life will die because they think its food so they decide to eat it then couple of days the plastic inside them will break down making the tiny plastic will go somewhere else in there body then they will die.

And then in the end he said "If we look after mother nature it would look after us"

Native planting

On Tuesday the 15th of September our class got an opportunity to go down lake Nagatu and help plant native plants with bushlands trust summit forest what were planting were Manuka,Kanuka,harakeke/Flax,Ti kouka/cabbage tree,karaka and houpara.When we all arrived the people from bushlands trust talked about what were doing they also talked about some other things about the lake,As they were talking the area we were planting in was a public space where people can go for walks.Then after talking about what we are doing we all went to go and get shovels to dig holes for the plants then we were stuck into it most of us were at the top of the hill then some in the middle and me and my friends were at the bottom working our way up.After couple minutes most of the plants were planted and we planted around 800 in 20 or 30 minutes then every one started to take little breaks going to the bathroom drink of water and then going back to work.After a few more minutes we were finshed we lined up in front of the truck and took a group photo then we had a little treat from our teacher after our treat we had to go and give a big thanks to bushlands trust and summit forest.Then before we had to go eat our lunch we had to wash our hands then go eat then we went back to school and i felt great about that because we were giving back to the environment.
