Fish Report

Fish

What is the approximate amount of fish in the ocean? My thoughts are 5 billion, including whales,  sharks, dolphins etc. Due to global warming those numbers are unfortunately dropping, because the corals or something they live in/on are dying.

How do we save fish? My personal solution would be to stop littering and ban the use of plastic bags, make less pollution and use a little bit less electrical stuff.

Will the Pacific garbage patch ever get cleared up? No-one knows if it will ever get cleared up but I’ve thought up an idea to clear it: Get lots of barges with sweepers to clear it.

Why are Fish important? The reason fish are so important is because they keep our oceans and seas alive and blue. Fish also provide food for us and animals to live healthy and happy. A lot of the tie without knowing fish actually interest us eg: David Attenborough shows. Just think if there were no fish you couldn’t go fishing or do other fun experiences like that.

When were fish Discovered? Ostracoderms (shell-skinned) are any of several groups of extinct, primitive, jawless fishes that were covered in an armour of bony plates. They appeared in the Cambrian, about 510 million years ago, and became extinct towards the end of the Devonian, about 377 million years ago.

Athletics

Athletics

This week we had athletics. We had 6 events which were 100m and 200m, sprint shotput, discus, high jump and long jump. I participated in all the events and came 4th out of 8 in the first division 100m sprints and 5th out of 8 in first division 200m sprints. My high score in the high jump is 1.28m but I failed on 1.25m today. My high score in the long jump is 4.01m but today I got 3.75m. Last year I won discus but this year there are a lot better people so I came like 7th out of all the Hillary boys. I might be on the Hillary relay team too.

Room 21's Got Talent

This week in school 4 kids from my class set up something called room 21's got talent. How it worked: 7 people auditioned, 5 people got into the semi-finals and 3 people got into the finals. I got into the finals of room 21's got talent and got second out of 3 people. The acts in the final were Piano (I did that), Dance (Ana did that) and magic (lily.f did that). Ana won room 21's got talent but I don't know what she got as a prize.

This week it is Chinese week and just yesterday the whole school made dumplings in the gym/hall. They tasted a little bit bland but they were still nice. This week my cousin Owen started at hni as a year 8 student and I learned that he's in Mr. Birnie's class which is room 5. I learned how to work out a ratio in maths. I learned how to read the marine weather thingymabob for when we go fishing or diving.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you as you are now my new country leader and wanting to negotiate about some problems that we have in this country.

The first problem is the poverty around the country every street I walk I’ll always see at least one homeless person sitting cold, hungry and just longing for a home. A way to fix this is to lower the housing prices and lower the tax rates because they are just too high!

The second
