Showcasing Stanley

Today we are showcasing some of Stanley's work.  Check out more on his blog here: http://gmsstanleyg0389.blogspot.com/
Here is some work we have done this week about deer. It is about if deer are pests or not.  Different groups of people have different opinions. What do you think?  Fill out my survey below.
Are Deer Pests?

Showcasing Rylan

Are possums pests?
This week we were learning about pests. My groups question was are possums pests and why? We had to ask  two people what they think. I think they are pests because they carry lots of diseases like TB and they are killing nature but I also think they are good because they are  killing 95% of ticks and ticks carry lots of diseases  too.  They are cleaning the forests by eating any dead animal.

What's Been In The News This Week (Mega Mall)

This Year, in Auckland, right now, the largest of this particular thing (In New Zealand) is being built.  A MALL! A 790 million dollar mall is being built right now in West Auckland.

I have Quoted Stuff here "Auckland's highly anticipated Newmarket mall could open in July."  There will be 230 shops, Some of them haven't been seen in New Zealand before, including Coco Republic, which offers quality furniture. There will also be 2800 car parks. (That is not a store, but there will be 2800 car parks)!

I would like to have a look around the mall when it is open, but the only flaw in that plan is that I don't live in Auckland.

Showcasing Cruz

This map shows the journey of Poutini around New Zealand.  Poutini was a taniwha.  He stole a lady called Waitaiki from the North Island and fled down around New Zealand with her.  When he got to the Arahura River on the West Coast he was afraid that Tamaahua would catch up with him and get Waitaiki back so he turned Waitaiki into pounamu and laid her in the river. That is why Waitaiki is known as the mother of pounamu.
