The Horse

Regardless of a horse or pony's actual birth date, for most competition purposes a year is added to its age each January 1 of each year in the Northern Hemisphere and each August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere. The exception is in endurance riding, where the minimum age to compete is based on the animal's actual calendar age.


Colt: A male horse under the age of four. A common error is to call any young horse a "colt", when the term actually only refers to young male horses


Filly: A female horse under the age of four.


Foal: A horse of either sex less than one year old. A nursing foal is sometimes called a suckling and a foal that has been weaned is called a weanling. Most domesticated foals are weaned at five to seven months of age, although foals can be weaned at four months with no adverse physical effects.


Gelding: A castrated male horse of any age. Mare: A female horse four years old and older.


Stallion: A non-castrated male horse four years old and older. The term "horse" is sometimes used to refer specifically to a stallion.

Explanation writing

The past couple of weeks room 2 has been working on Explanation writing. To right an Explanation you need to have a introduction and you also have to describe your topic. Then you explain something about your topic. The conclusion has to summarise the explaining of your story for an example here is Ebonys  "Germs" explanation



Our bodies are pretty awesome right? Day, after day, after day, they work really hard to fight these little invaders called germs.

Germs are actually tiny micro-organisms (living things). There are two main types of germs and they are bacteria and viruses. When people are affected by bacteria and viruses, they often have coughing, sneezing, fever, inflammation, vomiting, diarrhoea and cramping depending on what the illness is. If not treated it can get worser and worser and lead to bigger problems.

Now if I was to look for these germs I would need a microscope to see them. They are that small ( that's really small).


How do bacteria and viruses make us sick? Well they can get into our bodies through our ears, mouth, nose and of course, our skin. We can pick up germs from many different surfaces and even air and these surfaces could be: a bath mat, a remote control, beds and pillows. Maybe even a bag? A bottom of a shoe, headphone=, a drinking fountain. A phone? One of the most common places is a door handle and also a bar of soap. If you take a careful look at a screen of any device you will a least see a few germs sitting there on the screen.

How do we get rid of bacteria and viruses? Well bacteria can be treated by antibiotics from you local doctor.To get rid of viruses from your body you need to drink plenty of water, have plenty of rest and (if need) take a pain killer.

So think how often have you washed your hands today?

The Huia

The past couple of weeks we have been working on information reports. I decided to do it on the Huia. The Huia died out in 1907 but was sited in the Urewera in the early 1960's. It is one of the very few birds where the female and male have a different physical forms. They use their beaks to dig into soil to get at grubs. They are a rare species of the New Zealand wattle bird. The female beak is twice the size as the males.This is what I found out about the New Zealand native bird called the Huia.

The Powelliphanta


The Powelliphanta. Never heard of it and what a long name for a snail! But it is the size of a small orange.
Also scientist believe that the snail could live for up to 20 years. There are 21 different species but more could still be discovered. Powelliphanta even have blue blood "EEWW!" A regular gardern snail only lives for approximetly one year.
Once we ran up the stairs we had made it to the recording studio I met two other lovely children called George and Lottie. I let George go firstand it sounded amazing. Then I got to hear the finished product and it was awesome. I can't wait to the exibition

Milk!



How milk is processed into different products?
Do you Know how important dairy products are to New Zealand? Especially milk! 
Milk is an Emulsion. Can fat and water mix? An Emulsion comes from a lattern word for “Milk”. Milk is made up of Fat, Protein, Lactose, Water, Vitamins and Minerals (Such as Calcium). Milk can only come from a mammal such as a Cow, Goat, Sheep and many more.
The Milk has to be collected from the vat where it is stored after milking. Once the tanker has collected the milk it is delivered to the factory where it is stored in a cooler. Then it is processed into different products like Cream, Cheese and Butter.
In 2011 dairy farms produced 730 million tonnes of milk from 260 million cows. There are 10,500 dairy farms in New Zealand.
Milk is one of the best sellers in New Zealand. If there was no farms there would be no Milk!
