My Mihi

This week we have been learning our mihi so as you can see here i have put my name my 

parents names and where i am from.

Brunner Mine Site Visit

Yesterday T3 went to the Brunner Mine where 65 people had died in explosion in 1896. We have been reading a book about the mine disaster in class called "The Mine's Afire." We went there to find out more information about the mine. In the afternoon we went to the Stillwater Cemetery to read out the names of the miners that had died and got buried in that Cemetery.  

I learnt that after the mine exploded they still had to go back into the mine to work for money to feed their families.

What's been in the news this week?

Thirteen common dolphins were found dead in Marlborough Sounds. They do not know why the dolphins stranded on the island because they did not look sick.

My opinion is that it is very sad that whales and dolphins die from beach stranding.  I hope scientists work out why and fix it soon.

Harris's Top Ten Skateboard Brands

This week for blogging we got a choice of creating our own top ten list on a topic of your choice.  You could choose to do top ten music videos or top ten animals or anything else.  I chose to do my top ten skate board brands.  This is what the leader board for the best skateboard brands are in my opinion.  

Do you have a favourite skateboard brand?

Auckland vs Lime Scooters

Auckland are thinking about permanently banning the lime scooter due to the brakes failing. 
My opinion is to ban them and make something else that the brakes won't jam up and fail on. The council pulled them off the street last week until they fix the problem. Over five people have in hospital.

The council is making the final decision on the ban today. 

What do you think?
