A Little too MUCH!

Summary:

An obsessed lady with animals had gone a bit too FAR! A 24 year old named Jordan Ryan has 71 animals and they’re not as average as people think. She has snakes, millipedes, lizards, tarantulas and alpacas! They all live inside her house. She says she’s still getting more for her home zoo.

Opinion:

I think she has too many! I don’t think that I would have that many animals living in my home. She must really love animals to have heaps of them. I wonder how much it is to feed them, buy their enclosures and get all the equipment for the enclosures.

This is a list of how many animals they have:

• 20 snakes
• 10 ferrets
• 10 lizards
• 6 fish
• 4 rabbits
• 4 terrapins
• 3 dogs
• 3 frogs
• 3 alpacas
• 2 millipedes

Can This Be Achieved?

 Kiwikids news ;)

Summary

An Italian artist, Sven Sachsalber is trying the impossible. He is trying to find the needle in the haystack! He says this is contemporary art. He says it was supposed to be for 48 hours, then he announced that he won’t stop until he finds it. He’ll be at the Palais de Tokyo gallery in Paris. People say it’s impossible and just a phrase, but he says the impossible can be achieved.

Opinion

I think this person can pull it off if he works really hard on this one task. I also think that this would take him forever to do. Maybe a month or two. It is a big haystack!

Success Criteria Gone Weird?

Summary

My favourite movie for Manaiakalani film festival was from Stonefield School, Success Criteria For School. It was about a boy giving tips about how not to do a test, then how to survive a test and how to survive a bully. It’s funny, but it also shows you what is good and bad too.

Opinion

A rare superman comic book is worth over $2,000,000. The bidding on E Bay is still going. They say there are only 50 to 100 copies left in the world.

A Weird Invention For A Weird Reason?

  An odd invention in Korea made many people interested in what it can do. Was this necessary?

  The weird creation called Trongs caught the eye of hundreds of people, but was it really necessary? They help you pick up food without you fingers getting dirty. Trongs are plastic and are designed to stick to your fingers. They were made for people that love sticky, messy food and if your food is too hot you can lift it up with these.

  

  They say it’s more efficient to use and you won’t need to use napkins. I wouldn’t use them at all. Would you use Trongs?

  

  

My Blog Comment!

Today I had to comment on one of my classmates blog post. I chose Elizabeth's blog about the four winged dinosaur. We had to be cybersmart about what we were going to write and write about the specific things about what was in the blog. We also had to do a question at the end about what you were unsure of or if they had forgotten to write something. It was fun trying to think of something to write for her blog.

A Child Mayor?

A 5 year old child named Bobby Tufts was mayor of a small town called Dorset in Minnesota. He had been running the town for two years but lost the election to 16 year old Eric Mueller.

  

Bobby was only three when he won the election. The town only has 28 people and is known for a having tourists and no official government. The mayor is chosen from names in a box at the Taste of Dorset Festival. They pay $1 for each vote.

     

Bobby mayor says the first time he was mayor he declared to be at the top of an ice-cream food pyramid and raise money for the Ronald Mcdonald House Charities. He enjoyed it but he now has to give the job to Eric.  

Pakistan's National Symbol

I chose this symbol because I thought it would be great to do and it's simple. I also like the moon and star together.

The national symbol was created by a man named Syed Ameer Uddin Kidwai. It was based on the original flag of the muslim league. It was adopted in August 11, 1947 just before the country went independent.  

A Criminal Toddler! by Destiny

He then crashed into the side of a house. The baby jumped out of the car and went back home to watch cartoons.

  The police had been chasing a baby. A three year old boy wearing a nappy was driving a car on the motorway!

  

  The police went to the baby’s house and saw him watching T.V like nothing happened. The 22 year old mother was fined for not taking better care of the baby and the police give out a warning for all parents to look after their kids.

   When she went to get up her legs were numb from sitting down and she couldn’t move.The dryer’s stir that stirs the clothes kept pushing her onto the washing mac and she couldn’t breath properly. Her older sister tried ice, peanut butter and butter, but got her mum and ran to her aunty’s house. They tried to pull her out but she was stuck.

The Government Horrible Decision by Destiny

     The New Zealand government still allows drilling for oil in the Maui dolphin sanctuary area. I think it’s a really bad idea as there are only 55 of them left. I don’t understand how this can be a good thing?

  People say that it is going to be the extinction for all Maui dolphins. He has already taken over 3,000 kilometres of the sea and are soon starting drilling the sea bank for oil. There is a massive chance this can affect the dolphin population.
