72,843 (News)

Did you know that the Amazon rain forest is on fire? You probably know, but it hasn't been in the news very much. Already this year, there have been 72,843 fires recorded. The worst bit about it is that the isolated tribes, that live in the heart of the amazon, might die!! All of the tribes will have to escape from the flame, and run to safety through all of the fire, and hot spots. That would not be easy. All of the smoke would make it so hard to see, let alone run. I think that everyone should donate a bit of money so that the "Earths Lungs" Can live to breathe another day.

Tessellation

This week, we have been working on different types of maths. I have been doing tessellation. I did a google drawing on tessellation to show what it means, and then did some tessellation art on paper. Here is the drawing.


As you know from the start, I did some art. I made a shape using squiggly lines, and traced around it. The final result shocked me, because I don't think I am good at art. You don't need to be amazing at art to do tessellation!!
Here is the of the final product.

I hope you like my tessellation as much as I do, and that you try to do it as well!!

What's been in the news this week.

This week, The black caps (The NZ Cricket team) Played Bangladesh in the cricket world cup. This was our second game in the world cup, we hadn't lost yet and then... We played Bangladesh. Our team was playing well, but not on our A-Grade. They were batting first and set an goodish score of 244 all out. Now we were batting. Our opening batters didn't do to well and went out for a partnership of 49. The game was mostly close, and at the end it came down to when we needed 1 run from 14 balls. We finished it off with a four and won our second game. We are unbeaten and still are going well!!!

What's been in the news this week...

Did you know, that this week, with flying colours, Auckland council with just under 90% (Or 7997 people) votes decided to petition the government to ban private use of Fireworks! It would then be illegal to let fireworks off at your house!!

The SPCA, Fire and Emergency NZ, NZ Veterinary Association and SAFE all spoke in favour of the ban. The biggest concerns raised in the submissions were the safety of people and animals, followed by noise.

I agree with this decision as I have two dogs and one is terrified of fireworks! People can still go to public displays.

Football's Most Expensive Goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga has been in the news. 

Was it For a good reason ?? 

No, no, No, no, and NO! 

He plays for Chelsea, who played Manchester United earlier this week in the league. All game the score was a tie, so it came to penalty shootouts.  The Coach of Chelsea wanted to bring Kepa Arrizabalaga off the field and replace him with the other keeper because he seemed injured, but he REFUSED!! He didn't get off the field, so he ended up doing the shootout and suprise suprise, they lost 4-3. 

Maybe he should have listened to his coach...
