Welcome to this Room 11 blog. Our learning philosophy is to LEARN, CREATE an artifact that shows our learning, and then SHARE it in creative ways, including posting it here on this blog.The purpose of this blog is for students to become accustomed to sharing their learning, recieving feedback, and preparing them for having their very own blog.While students will make every effort to have work corrected and error free it is in fact authentic student work, showing where students are at, and so there are likely to be some mistakes. The aim is to note progress and improvement, and we expect to see this over time.

  6. Cockatiels

    28th May 2013 By Hannah

    Cockatiels are a type of parrot. They are related to the cockatoo and they are the smallest of their parrot group.

    Description
    Not all cockatiels look the same. Some cockatiels have a white body and a yellow head with orange patchs on their cheeks that look like they’re blushing. Others have gray instead of white and have a white stripe across their wing but still have a yellow head and orange patches on their cheeks.


    Habitat
    Cockatiels live in most parts of Australia in the desert and other parts of the world. They are mostly found in Australia because they are a native bird to Australia.


    Life cycle
    Baby cockatiels are born with no feathers and they can’t open their eyes until they are 8 days old. They will start growing feathers when they are 16 days old. They will live for 15 to 20 years because that is the average lifespan for a cockatiel. Adult cockatiels build their nests in holes that are already built.


    Behavior
    When they want to stretch they lift one leg into the air and stretch it as well as stretching their tail feathers. Some cockatiels puff up their feathers and dance.


    So if you are thinking of getting a bird a cockatiel is a great start. I hope you liked my report writing and I hoped you learnt something from it.

  8. The Kea
    11,6,13 By Hannah
    This piece of writing is about the Kea, a native bird to New Zealand. It will tell you about where it lives, what it looks like and what its habits are and some more stuff about the kea that you might need to know .I hope you enjoy reading it.
    Description
    The kea has olive brownish green wings and tail feathers .It’s head is brown. It has a long, curved, black beak that is very useful. When it spreads its wings out you can see the orange bit under either side of the bird’s wings. Where the orange bit stops yellow spots begin and they go to the end of the wing. Just before the yellow spots stop brownish green feathers begin again. The kea has sharp, strong claws that they can use to tear things. They also use their claws to eat things with.

    Habitat
    The kea lives in cold areas in the South island. It can only be found in the south island. The kea lives from Lowland river valleys and beech forests near the west coast up to the alpine mountains.

    Life cycle ,nests
    The medium lifespan for a kea is around 5 years; the oldest know captive kea lived until it was 50 years old. The Kea lay from July through to January. The kea lay between 2 to 5 eggs at a time. They sit on their eggs for 21 days then they will hatch. They make a nest underneath large beech trees or dug burrows between roots. They make nests from moss, ferns and rot wood.


    Diet
    Keas eat a lot of things like tree roots, seeds, flowers, other bird chicks, insects, berries, fruit, beetle larva, lizards, they sometimes attack sheep and rabbits if there is little food. If people decide to make a town, keas have adapted to eat anything.


    Habits /behaviour
    Keas have a habit of attacking and eating living sheep witch farmers hate. They also have a habit of destroying anything such as cars and other things. Keas also love having a swim.

    Classification
    There are about 15,000 kea in New Zealand (in the South island). If people kill a kea they will get a fine of 100,000 dollars. Famers hate the kea because the eat their sheep.

    That is my report on the kea. It’s description, habitat, diet, life cycle and more. Thank you for reading my report. I hope you liked it.

  9. Room 11 have been learning how to write a conclusion for a report. This is my new conclusion for my report on the kea.

    This report has given lots of information about the kea on its description, habitat, diet, life cycle and some more interesting facts. The kea is a very entertaining bird to observe and meet. By Hannah

  10. waikanae library visit

    On the 1st of July room 11 and room 18 went for a trip to waikanae library for a hour. We walked from school to the library and got setted on the mat. A story teller called Queenie which the library had as a guest. She read some of her story's to us. We got to ask our questions well we were there and she told us the answers. She told us what we were doing and off we went.


    We had got given fabric in the shape of a feather and got to decorate the fabric how ever we wanted. After we decorated, we write a wish or a goal on the back of the fabric. The fabric was going to be used to make a clock. Once the clock was finished it was going to go round the library's. Once we had finished we handed the fabric in and we were allowed to look at the books. Some people got books out but most didn't.


    We started our walk back. On the way lots of people looked at what there was to see. It was really beautiful. When we got back to school lots of people were talking about the day we had. Everyone said it was fun.

  11. The big startling shack
    30,7,13 By Hannah

    On Sunday the 21st of July at 5.09 a 6.5 earthquake started in Seddon south of Wellington. There were a series of earthquakes from the very beginning of Sunday morning right to the very last light on Sunday afternoon. There were lots of small and high level earthquakes but this was the biggest of them all. It coursed some damage like some shattered windows and some cracks in buildings. Damage occurred in the lower north island and the upper South island. The rest of the country felt it but didn't find any damage.
    It startled lots of people. I was a little sick when the quake hit so I thought it was me but after a bit I knew it was an earthquake. I ran to the door and stayed there until it was over. After the earthquake lots of people where at the shops stocking up on their survival kits in case there was another one as big. Scientists say that it is unlikely that there will be another one as big but there is still a chance.
    It was quit frightening but exciting at the same time. It is an experience I won’t forget, not for a while anyway.
