what is a base

 An acid is a liquid that has a H/Hydrogen atom that can react.

• Nitric acid                      HNO3
• Sulfuric acid                   H2SO4
• Hydrochloric acid           HCl

A base is the opposite of an acid. Also has an OH Which is Hydroxide that can react.

All About Stoats

 KIA Ora readers, today I will be talking about stoats. Stoats are a pesky weasel that are endemic to New Zealand and kill native birds for fun sometimes. The stoat is part of the weasel family and they have a brown/black fur on top and a white undercoat. 

We are learning about NZ flora and fauna which is like plants and animals in hurumanu 1/ Nga Tangata and that stands for The People. We read this book called Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff from page 12 -16. In my opinion this book is fantastic absolute lovely and I would like to read it more so I can get more information about New Zealand flora and fauna.

My reflection is that I enjoy doing this because there are many animals that I did not know that live in New Zealand and I get to learn about them. The book Uncle Don Know Heaps Of Wacky Stuff is very fun to read and it has a lot of facts about New Zealand flora and fauna.

The Bittern

 KIA Ora readers, I will tell you about what i'm doing today. We are learning about NZ floura & Fauna which if plants and animals endemic to NZ and I learned about the bittern which is a bird that is very shy and hardly seen. We learned it in hurumanu 3 which is Te Ao Whanui and the story that we had to read was uncle don knows heaps of wacky stuff the book is very interesting. I used this app called canva which I had never used before, it was very interesting to use and I would like to use it a lot more. 

Reflection:

It was my first time using canva and I really like it because it is very unique and way more better than google slides. And it was so much easier to use then a google slide because you have to search a picture and then take a photo of that and put it on your google slide. With canva there is a search bar and search a picture and it comes without making a tab of a new picture and delete the tab.

My favourite piece of decades of music

 My favourtie piece

Hello readers we have been learning about music from different decades, we could ether do it on a slide or a google doc and once we chose we first had to write 1900s - 2000s and write facts about the most popular singer, band and what type of music.

 My favorite was the 1920s because I really like the sound of the music and how calm the music is, also there is many different variaty of music like jazz and others. In the 1920s Jazz was the most popular type of music and the most popular singer I think it was willie the lion smith and his music is really good and clam if you want to hear it the the text. Just saying it is really relaxing and fun to listen. I really liked doing this because I could hear people from different decades.

1. summarise in your own words

She was born in Liverpool England in 1847 and she was married at 24 to a man called walter.  At the time women could not vote and she wanted women to vote so after a couple of years she joined a wctu known as women’s christian temperance union. Next she went to New Zealand and she wanted New Zealand to be the first country to let women vote.

Circle the nouns and underline the verbs

Sheppard traveled all over New Zealand, writing to newspapers, holding public meetings and talking to members of parliament.

Womens could now vote! New Zealand women were the first in the world to be able to vote.

1. Many men didn’t believe women should have the right to vote.
