My fossil fuels essay


Lots of people in New Zealand and new Zealand,s government believe we should become a carbon zero
country by not using fossil fuels any more. Why is this ? well you must have heard of warming? It is what
people all over the world are worried about. 

Global warming is causing major changes in the weather making seas rise 
And making the planet warmer. How do fossil fuels cause this is what you may be asking?
When we burn and use fossil fuels such as coal oil and gas
The chemicals from them go into our atmosphere and make a massive blanket of 
Bad gasses around our planet.
Why does it warm?
When the sun shines on our planet a large amount of it bounces back into space
But since there is the giant blanket of gasses a lot of the  heat cannot bounce back
into space causing the planet to warm.
How does this affect you?
Well global warming could affect you in many ways like hear in New Zealand and
on other south pacific islands the sea is rising causing lots of land arousion near the  beaches.
If you are living in a large city there can be many harmful chemicals in the air you breath and
sometimes acidic rain that will slowly erode stone buildings and other 
Similar  building materials .

In some countries they are using renewable sources of energy to avoid using fossil fuels and slow
or hopefully stop global warming.The main ways that we get renewable energy are from hydro electricty from dams that have a turbine that the water spins to create electricity when it leaves the damn. The second main renewable electricity source is solar energy that is
Collected by using solar panels that take i the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity. The third main way of harvesting electricity is wind power which they collect by using giant wind turbines or wind mills that will spin a motor creating electricity .

Over all I hope this information has helped you and may even change your view on global warming.

The green house efect



If you do not know what the green house effect is it is the cause of global warming.
In case you are wondering what it is i will explain it.
The green house effect is caused by lots of gases causes made by humans such as methane from farming and other gases from fossil fuels like oil and coal.

When these gases are released into the atmosphere they create a blanket around our planet causing it to get warmer. When the sun shines onto our planet a lot of the heat bounces off of the planet but the heat can not do that now because it is stuck under the giant blanket of gas in our atmosphere

In some cases global warming is not causes by humans such as volcanic eruptions releasing hot gasses into the atmosphere causing the planet to warm .

Noho marae


Last week on Wednesday we stayed at Mahitahi Marae (Bruce bay marae) also known as Te Tauraka Waka a Maui.
We got told about the stories on the tukutuku panels and the stories about the carvings.
On the way there we stopped in Hari hari and Fox Glacier school. 
While we were at the marae there was a power cut but luckily Caleb, the person who looked after the marae, had a generator setup.

Descriptive writing


As I walk towards the carnival I feel damp grass under foot. when I got closer I could hear people talking and laughing. I could smell the rich aroma of the food as I walked past the crowd. As I got to some of the games I could hear children nagging there parents to have a go.when I got to the ferris wheel I hop on and end up at the top. The ice cold wind rushes past me and makes me feel as if I am froze

Here is a DLO: digital learning object  I made about area and perimeter.
