Green Anaconda

The green anaconda weighs up to a significant 550 pounds in weight is one of the largest species of snake in the world. The average length of the snake can range around 4.6m to 3m but in most parts of the world the female anaconda is most definitely always bigger than the male anaconda in weight and length.

The green anaconda is a dark olive brown colour with scaly hot skin covering their whole body. They have black spots down the side of their back and smaller oval spots with yellow centers along their sides. Their eyes and noses are perched on top of their large heads, allowing them to breathe and see their prey in water.

Green anacondas are usually found in warm hot forests. The anaconda can be found in tropical south america. They live in sluggish streams, rivers and swamps and marshes across the world. In the daytime they usually lay on rocks to keep themself cool. When an anaconda hunts for its prey it has to be very strategic in not letting the prey see them and not let it out of its grip around the animal.

The anaconda does not rely on its bite to kill its prey but its huge body to wrap around its prey and suffocate it to death by squeezing its throat and stomach.

Snakes are very fascinating creatures and have a lot of interesting facts about them.

Mental health speech 2020

Mental health? Have you ever heard of mental health issues or do you even know what mental health issues are. Every day millions of people suffer from mental health issues but are often too scared to come forward because they believe they can't reach the impossible standards society visions us to be. So today I'm going to tell you why you need to start taking care of your mental health. 

Here in New Zealand we have one of the highest Mental health issues in the world and nearly all of them are teenagers.  If you still don't think mental health is a big issue I have experienced it first hand. I lost my uncle to mental health issues. I never want any family to go through what mine has. You should treat mental health the same as your regular health. If you are struggling you should not be scared to talk with someone about your feelings because everyone's feelings and emotions matter.

There is no cure for mental health problems but you can do things to improve it.You should not spend all of your day worrying about your mental health because that will just make it a lot worse but I would urge you to do those small things each day to improve your mental health and your wellbeing. Like meditation, and positive attitude Some people are scared to talk about their mental health issues because they often think that they can self manage it but really they do need help. And most likely they will refuse help and try to deal with it themselves. This all happens because their head is in the wrong place and if you see people like this make sure you help them. But if you do those things it shows you really care about them. 

I hope I have encouraged you to think more deeply about your mental health. Thank you for listening to my speech.

Iwi unhappy with ocean sanctuary

The New Zealand government is aiming to establish a ocean sanctuary around the kermadec.

The sanctuary will contain 6 million birds of various species, 35 species of whale and dolphins, three species of turtle and 150 species of fish. Chairperson jamie Tuuta said that the government has ignored the impact the sanctuary would have on iwi fishing interests. 

Also the sanctuary would be off limits to commercial fishing and aquaculture, recreational fishing and fishing related tourism. Let me know what you think of this?  

My matariki breakfast

"Boring old fruit" i said to myself "no ones gonna like that" as i roll up into school with my pink chocolate ice cream container. Near the end of the term our school has been really keen on the matariki theme celebrating the maori new year. The school had set up a matariki breakfast for us to enjoy, everybody had to bring a shared meal. I was looking forward to all the nice tasty food that i was going to enjoy like pancakes sausages donuts and all the delicious meals.

 I thought my fruit was pretty boring considering all the amazing things that other people had brought. As i was walking out to play basketball i saw another teacher bring in nice crispy hash browns, my taste buds squirming all around my mouth wanting a taste of those nice hash browns. when the bell rang i raced to the classroom like a bolt of lightning could see all the nice juicy foods we had a lovely prayers then we were allowed to eat.The girls got up first then us boys raced to the delicous food i only grabbbed a pancake and i definetly put way to much golden syrup on my pancake. The slimey stiky stuff devoured my mouth my tastebuds were in disgust. And then i lost my apatite and could not eat anything else my stomach just could not take it. So then i just read. It was a great matariki breakfast and i loved it.

air sending goosebumps all over my skin. I open my curtains and see
the surprise of a cold shivering morning. Something that caught
my attention was the roads were bare only a few cars coming by
once and awhile.

I get comfy i lay there nicely for about half an hour.
Then i realise that i gotta go and do the rubbish so i slowly get up and

put on my warm jacket and my shoes and go outside to put out the 

rubbish. The sun was beaming on me as i put down the rubbish
by the letter box. It was 8:15 and the roads are usually
crowded with cars going all over the place. But today it was silent on the
streets. I thought to myself. “This is going to be a long lockdown”

Dear god bless all those soldiers who now lie in peace with god the father in heaven.
All those brave fearless soldiers who fought to the death for the honour of our country.

On ANZAC day we not only remember the soldiers but the frontline nurses that worked day and night for countless hours helping our soldiers with injuries bullets and broken bones. All of the nurses and health care workers are in our hearts.

ANZAC day is not necessarily a sad day. Its about remembering how the soldiers of aotearoa
saved our country from other countries. may god bless all the soldiers on ANZAC day. Amen

The Badge of Honour

the main characters in this story are Isaac Fai Tamasi


isaac and Tamasi are best friends but Tamasi is involved with some bad people who
fight and do very bad things.

But Tamasi and Isaac are captains and have to be role models for the school and everyone
and as a captain myself i can relate to this story a bit.

Fai tells Issac what is going on and Issac is shocked.
Issac tells Tamasi that he should stop
doing this since he is a captain
but he does not listen and carries on fighting other people and doing bad things with these bad people.


Then Fai tells the teacher on Tamasi and Tamasi asks issac to back him up.


Tamasi has done a lot of sins but god forgives everyone from there sins and
i think isaac and Fai did the right thing.

Is zealandia a continent

From (Tyler)

To day im here to tell you why zelandia the huge
submerged land area that overtime has sank two thirds of a
mile under the south west pacific ocean 79 million years ago
should not be considered as the 8th continent.

Firstly let's start with the definition of a continent. A continent is one of

Huge land masses covering up a certain area know as a continent. 

Right now in the world there is 7 official continents.

Antarctica Europe asia north america south america and

Australia. But zelandia has never been recognized as a continent

Since it has overtime sunk down into the pacific ocean.

Millions of years ago there was 8th continent
but then zelandia sunk down into the pacific ocean. Since then
there has been only 7 continents. Australia one
of the 7 continents has a land size 7.7 million

Square metres while zelandia only has 4.7 million
square metres, there's also africa with 30.37 million square metres.

And lastly there's asia with 44.58 million square metres.

If you look at zelandia compared to all the other continents land size

There is a huge difference between the other continents.

 The main reason that zelandia is not recognized as a continent is

because it  has sunk. If it would of not sunk then it would be
most likely considered a continent nowadays.
I do think it would of been a official continent have it had not sunk that
is the main reason why it should not be recognized as a continent.

Throughout this piece of writing i have shared with you
3 main points why zelandia should not be a continent.

  

I was learning about zelandia because it was our reading task for this week I found it difficult to find the write sites to teach me about zelandia because the writing was to complex. I enjoyed finding out about all these continents because i've never took the time to research about them Next time i would change my writing because it was a bit to complex
