Yesterday room 1 and 7 went to the Zoo. We went by bus at 9:00 and arrived there around 10:00. We learnt new facts about the animals there. The reason we went there was to learn about pest control.

Here are the facts

Giraffes - They have 7 bones in their neck

- Their tongues are a foot long

Ostrich - Their body's are to heavy to fly 

- Fast runners

- Lay the largest eggs

Report

Last week Thursday the school had reports. I had to  arrive at six o clock in order to be on time for my appointment. We walked in and my teacher went over my report. When she finished reading my report I then showed my parents my writing. They enjoyed my writing and was happy with my reports. I felt proud of myself. For having a good report my parents took us to Mc Donalds and bought burgers for us all.
 

 

Tongan Alternative Methods Of Curing

The first method is if you have diarrhoea you can
1 grate some Tutu'uli bark and put it into a cloth
2 then you put some water in a cup and put the cloth with the bark inside to soak
3 when the mixture is ready take 1 table spoon 1-2 times a day

If you have a toothache you chew the leaves of the Tutu'uli but do not swallow.
If you have a soar tummy you can swallow little pawpaw seeds and it will make you feel better.
But if you are a child your tummy is soar you can use the nonu leaves put it into a cloth let it soak in water and drink.
If a mosquito bites you you can just tap the pawpaw with your nail and you can use the juice on the bite.

This method is used for joint pain and headaches
1 First you have to gather 12 nonu leaves and uhi leaves and then crush them together
2 Add a tiny bit of water to the leaves
3 then put the crushed leaves on a another leaf and rub all over your body

Here are some photos of those methods.

Lost Trampers Rescued

The two trampers who went missing in bush north-west of Nelson say they spent nearly two weeks without food - and their only saving grace was water they had found.

An intensive search and rescue operation had been underway to find Dion Reynolds and Jessica O'Connor, who have been in Kahurangi National Park since May 8.

Dion Reynolds revealed that he had only realised the pair were walking in a loop around a Manuka forest after he recognised one of his own footprints in the mud.

"We went up the river for two days and made our first campsite, and pretty much the first thing that started going wrong is we ended up burning our socks, I burnt three out of the four socks that I'd had after the river crossing."

The next day as they carried on they realised they had made more progress than they expected to.

"We looked at our map and what we thought was the waterfall that we got to wasn't what we got to really. We decided to go up the hill and thought we'd cut across the track and carry on down towards the lake.

"We thought we were going to just carry on heading east up the hill in the same direction that we were, but obviously it wasn't."

What I Think Smart Foot Print Is

I think smart footprints is looking out for scams online and not giving private information. Lastly I think smart footprint is about keeping on secure websites and staying on task.
