Today I am sharing with you some information about the Moa. I decided to do some work on the Moa because I saw it in an amazing book called Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff that me and my class have been working on for awhile.

Today I am sharing with you amazing people some information about earthworms. I got the inspiration to write about earthworms from the book Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff. The text in the book was "Our largest native earthworms grow up to 1.4 metres long and are found much as 3 metes under the ground." I did a presentation about earthworms on canva. On the presentation I wrote facts about them and their habitat.

Today I am sharing with you lovely people my work for my Hurumanu 3 class. Lately my Hurumanu 3 class has been reading Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff, it is about this boys uncle named Uncle Don and hes a doc ranger, the doc in doc ranger means department of conversation. The boy went with his uncle and found out a lot of fun facts and went on some adventures. While reading on page 11 I saw flax/ Harakeke and a fun fact to that and I got interested and went to find some information abort it and then made a canva presentation about it.

Today I am sharing with you some of my work of this great book called Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff and also Nz Flora and Fauna. The reason we were watching a video of Nz Flora and Fauna is to practice copying down information for the future. Here is some things I found out about Flora and Fauna.
Kakapo in Maori means night parrot. They can live up to 80 years old. They are the worlds largest parrot but cannot fly. They were thought extinct in 1977 but then they're were discovered 213 adults. They start breeding at the age of 5 years old. Every 2-5 years they breed. 40% of Kakapo eggs don't become adults.
In 1978 this different kind of wasp was discovered in Hamilton in a aircraft. They were a danger to bird's bats and native animals. They ate the bugs and insects that the animals need to eat to survive.
The Horopito is found all over New Zealand but they are mostly found in Stewart island. They have blood looking splotches all over the Horopito. It is a traditional spice used over meals so it is edible.
Finally my favourite and interesting fun fact from the book Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff is about starfishes.

Today I am sharing with you my awesome viewers me and Michaela's business Deer Rind Co. Our business is about skincare. We did the whole business for this market that the Hornby High School is hosting. We first had to get some inspiration and tested some logos, then we had to choose our colour palette and me and Michaela both had different colours but we made them work. We chose some different font's for the writing and they were Lora and Indie flower. I went Canva and made some logos for it. Michaela than made some things that the name should be and she said "It should be unique and flawless and be nature's shine" She actually found the name Deer Rind Co on this site and we both liked it.
Thank you for looking at my blog! Have a great day! Comment if you want.

Aim: To make hokey pokey using sugar, golden syrup and baking soda.
When the sugar and golden syrup combine what the baking soda it froths and makes carbon dioxide gas. This is why the hokey pokey has bubbles.
Materials:
1. 2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
2. 4 Tablespoons sugar
3. 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda
4. Pot
5. Tablespoons and teaspoons
6. Bunsen burner
7. Grease proof paper
Method
1. Put 4 teaspoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
3. Add baking soda and stir vigorously
4. Put the hokey pokey on a piece of grease proof paper to cool.
The more the sugar syrup is cooked the browner it becomes. If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes burnt.
Explanation:
1. Why do we stir it? We stir it to make sure the sugar and baking soda doesn't get all clumpy.
2. Explain why the hokey pokey rises and has bubbles? It has bubbles because it has carbon dioxide.
3. What gas is made by the baking soda? Carbon dioxide.
