Kayaking

 23/3/2020 

Kayaking

My kayaking adventure from Cloughs Road doublecrossing to our swimming hole, we left home at one-thirty pm expecting to arrive home at three-thirty pm.

 I went kayaking It was me, Bro and Jack. I was in my own kayak and Bro and Jack shared one, we had been paddling for about half an hour we came across the first bridge it was really creepy we had to get out of the kayak to get over all the broken sticks. Once we got onto the other side we kept paddling for about ten minutes we then found the Clough Road water hole, it looked like a scene from a movie it was so pretty the water was see-through.

We paddled for quite a while  dodging sticks and floating logs. It was hard but we did it. It was so pretty.  

The scenery was amazing. I have never seen anything like it before. It was something I would definitely do again. 

 

Deforestation

 Deforestation

Deforestation happens when people are cutting down too many trees. It also happens when trees die because of many other things like diseases and wildfires. Which is causing climate change to get even worse. 

Trees are very important to our health because they store carbon and replace it with oxygen. But a lot of the time it is happening in the Amazon rainforest where people are destroying the rainforest by cutting down trees at the rate of 30 football pitches per minute. And one of the biggest wildfires happened in the Amazon Rainforest. 

You can help stop deforestation by not cutting down trees and help to fundraise money, so the government can buy more trees to plant. You can also help stop deforestation by looking after trees and making sure you're only using fallen trees for firewood. So that you don't have to cut any down. 

Why Plastic Pollution Is A Global Problem

 Why Plastic Pollution Is A Global Problem

Plastic pollution is causing the death of most marine life, like seagulls, turtles, sharks, dolphins, and whales. And without these animals the Ocean will not be able to survive. Like sharks that eat the fish, and this stops the Ocean having too many fish.

Plastic pollution is causing sea life to die so people are killing the fish. And at this rate there are not going to be any fish in the ocean for us to eat.

In 2015 whales started dying because of plastic pollution.  Now over 200,000 whales have died because of this, it is not a nice environment for them to live in. Just imagine, you get up every morning and to get to the other room you had to climb over lots of plastic. Not many people would like to live like that. But this is how a lot of animals are living. That is why we should not litter, because it will reflect badly on us and kill a lot of marine life.    

Plastic pollution is one of the world’s biggest problems and we need to fix it as soon as possible. Or eventually it will kill our planet. 

We could work on reducing the amount of plastic we use daily to help all our animals. Live happy plastic-free lives. And that means that they can live a healthier life.

What does well being look like to me

What does wellbeing look like to me

With what has been happening in this country in 2020 the word well being has been thrown around and talked about by the media and politicians. Wellbeing is a word we hear often but what does it mean and what does it look like. My name is Tamzyn and I am going to tell you what wellbeing is and what it looks like to me.

The oxford dictionary definition of wellbeing is “the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy” but when I look up the word wellbeing on google wellbeing has so many different meanings it appears to be broken down into mental well being, physical wellbeing, social wellbeing, and spiritual wellbeing. So I am going to explore these areas concerning my wellbeing.

Mental wellbeing seems to have been talked about most in the media this year as experts such as neuroscience and educator Nathan Wallis fears about the ongoing mental well-being effects of 2020. After researching and looking at these articles mental wellbeing for me is being able to accept that I have lots of different emotions in every situation and being able to recognize that emotion and act appropriately such as if I am frustrated then it is ok to cry but it is not ok to punch someone in the face. Mental wellbeing will always be changing as our environment changes but knowing I am supported and loved makes my mental wellbeing healthy.

Physical wellbeing has changed in 2020 as people were not able to leave their houses to access doctors, gyms, parks, pools, and outdoor activities. My physical wellbeing was impacted this year as I was unable to go riding out on my horse. I have never really thought about wellbeing before but this was a huge impact on my normal life. Since lockdown is over I appreciate being able to ride my horse out in the bush and being able to do things in the community such as going to the pools. The foods we eat also impact on our wellbeing. If I eat junk food such as KFC, lollies, and fizzy drinks then my body is not getting the nutrients I need to function properly so I get headaches and tired. However, most of the time I am lucky and have homegrown vegetables and meat from the farm so can have a balanced diet and this makes me feel better. 

Social wellbeing being is very important. if you don't have good Social wellbeing you will not be able to connect to other people and if you can't connect to people you won't have a lot of friends because you don't socially connect to them.

What I have realized is that all the areas of my well-being need to be good for me to feel happy healthy and to have good wellbeing. My name is Tamzyn and thank you for listening

Famous New Zealander´s

 Antarctica

When you think about Antarctica you probably think about it as a death trap but when you look into the
walls of the ice you will find a beautiful place. But there are some downsides. 

How hard is it to get a job in Antarctica? Well before you can even  go to Antarctica you need to go to a
happy camper school. Happy campers school is for all people who are going to Antarctica. It prepares
them for the harsh conditions, how to stay hydrated and build a survival shelter. You can apply for a job
as a scientific researcher, and member of the medical staff. Or a maintenance worker.

How to protect your house in Antarctica. Most of the homes are built on hydraulic stilts so you can lift
the homes up so the snow will go under and around the home instead of going over it. They also have
special homes so they do not freeze.

In Antarctica, they have a race called the race around the world. It is called that because they go through
all the time zones in the world. They can not run it because of the high altitude so they use snowmobiles
and other missionaries, and sometimes even sled dogs.

In conclusion, I think Antarctica is a lovely place but very dangerous so I hope you learnt something
about Antarctica. And what you need to survive and adapt in Antarctica.

Trench Warfare
World War One was a tough primitive time of war - basic one to one fighting with no nuclear weapons but there were some bombs during the war. Trench warfare was used to shelter the soldiers from gun fires, explosions and by limiting the number of gases getting into the trenches.

Firstly World War One is very muddy,  and because of that the soldiers got a very gross infection called trench foot, and some of the worst cases ended up having to be amputated. But some people just had a little infection. Some of the trenches had wood at the bottom to prevent trench foot.

In the trenches, all sorts of things lived in the trenches including a big rat called a trench rat. Trench rats are extremely big and they fed on mostly meat but in the trenches, they would eat the leftover food out of the tins. Some soldiers said that they could hear the tins rattling at night also some rats would eat the dead people's eyes and eat away at the people's feet if they had trench foot.

In conclusion, the trenches were not a nice place to be, a lot of people died in the war and it is important that we respect the people that served for our country in the war.
