Helium is a chemical element with the atomic number of 2 it is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is often used to fill party balloons as it is good at making things go up due to it being lighter than air. Helium is hard to find on earth due to it being made deep underground out of the natural radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium. Helium also changes your voice into a higher pitch due to its low density, This causes the sound to travel over twice as fast through helium than regular air.

For the past three Fridays we have been coding. I have been coding on python I learnt how to use X,Y,Z axis. We had to use the X,Y,Z axis and make a UFO glide to different areas. There were three stages the first stage teaching you how to use basic code. The second code teaches you how to use X,Y,Z axis and the third one teaches you how to add shapes, backgrounds and people and change the colour of them.

Would you like to be forced out of your home due to rising sea levels? Climate change is still the largest danger to human existence on earth. The sea level is expected to rise by 10-12 inches, in places like kiribati this will make it uninhabitable by forcing 130,000 residents out of their homes.

Next week we are going to camp in Spencer park. We are biking to Spencer park, putting up our own tents and cooking our own dinners. We are making chicken burgers for dinner. We are also doing adrenaline forest which is just really high ropes on trees. I have to show resilience because I don’t know how to put up my tent. I have to show integrity to go to sleep. I have to show success by biking to Spencer park and back.

When I came to Tangaroa I was excited because most of my friends were in this class. This year our main focus has been on kaitiakitanga. I have learnt about what kaitiakitanga means. In my group we learnt how to use kaitiakitanga for our waters. We learnt what three waters are and all the kinds of water. I have found this year harder than last year in the education sector. But I also found this year better than last year because we have had lots of other opportunities like surfing and koru games. I think I have achieved all my goals with better handwriting because when I was in Talei’s group where she made us do handwriting every day. I think I have failed at having better creativity because I struggle to think of ideas. Next year I want to improve my math work with fractions because I struggle with that. I could improve my work with fractions by understanding strategies for adding, dividing and multiplying fractions.

Side stroke is a swimming stroke. The stroke is good because it doesn’t use much energy and your head never goes underneath the water. This is why it is used by lifeguards. The military also uses the sidestroke because it allows swimmer to swim more effectively and and reduces the body profile in water leading to them being harder to see in combat operation if surface swimming is required.

My name is Ethan Davis. I am a pet groomer from Brooklyn, New York. It was 3 months ago that my identity was stolen. I got a call from a man named Jagat saying “ Hello this is the microsoft refund department I am calling because of the cancellation of your microsoft account. I thought it was real so I gave them all my bank account information. They found my address and my full name. And started committing crimes under my name. It ranged from small crimes like stealing from shops to robbing banks and hijacking planes. When they would get arrested they would say I made them do it. I got arrested and sent to prison for life. I escaped and then turned to a life of crime. I started a mafia and found a few other ex-criminals to start. Our first heist was a small bank in outer Charlotte, North Carolina. It took weeks of planning for a 2 minute robbery. I got arrested and went back to prison. This time I agreed to teach the government and other major companies. How to protect themself from illegal activities. I wrote a book about my life and made back all the money I lost. I became a major investor in bitcoin and made 10s of millions of dollars.
