Fundraise ideas

                                                 Fundraise ideas
Here are three ideas for raising funds in New Zealand.

• Organise a week long Pony Trek from West Coast through to Hanmer and charge people to go on it.
• Organise a fun day at the local lake for swimming and races.
• Organise a party for the town for everyone to come too.  Donations from this would go to the Great Barrier Reef.

Polluted Rivers

                                                 Polluted Rivers
The name of one river that is polluted is the Selwyn River in Canterbury.  It is polluted from Nitrogen from the farms around it. To clean up the river the farmers are being told to reduce nitrogen on the farms.

The Grey River in Greymouth is also sometimes polluted.  The problem is raw sewage is discharged into the Grey River after lots of rain.  They are working on fixing the sewage system to stop this.

Fishing

                                                  Fishing
I think that $100,000 is too much to charge people for overfishing as the sign might have been blown over and they didn't see it. I would recommend changing them $1000 for the first time and then $10,000 for the next, then $100,000.

Selfie

                                                              Selfie picture

In this picture a girl is standing on top of a bridge taking a selfie.  Behind her is a river and a township.  I think they are on holiday there as she is really keen to take selfies and pictures of a beautiful place.  It could be dangerous to take a selfie there because it looks like there is a big drop behind her.  The place could be Venice as Venice has lots of water around it.
I have never taken a selfie before.

The WWF

A name for a green pool

                                              A name for a green pool

• Broccoli Soup
• Shrek's bath  
•  The green water monsters pillow

Milford sound

                                               Milford sound   

I would like to go to the Milford sound in a boat. I would go in a boat because I could jump of into the sea and swim beside the boat. I would also like to go on a boat to the Milford sound because I might see a dolphin and some other cool sea animals.  

The Colossale Squid maths prodlem

                                              The Colossale Squid maths problem

If I had a to move a Colossale Squid with adults and kids I would use 16 adults and 7 kids. I worked this out by 4 adults could 100kg (4x25=100) If I had 16 adults they could take 400kg. That leaves 100kg for the kids. 6x15=90 so there is one kid that has to take 10kg. It would take 16 adults and 7 kids to move the Colossale Squid.

Night owls and early rises

                                             Night owls and early rises  

 I am a night owl. I like to stay up late and read books. Sometimes when I turn the light off instead of going to sleep I think about stuff like "What am I going to the pony camp" or "What can I do to get better at horse riding. My Dad is a night owl too. I look a lot like more like farther when he was younger. My Mum is a early riser. She gets up at half past 5 to walk the dog. My Mum oftener goes to bed at 9:00 pm. My little brother (Mitchell) is a early riser like Mum. when he was a baby he got up at 5:00 am every morning (groan). Now Mitchell gets up at 6:00 am.

Strange plants

This plant is the Rafflesia Arnoldii.

This is the Corpse Flower.
 The three similarities between the 2 plants are

• They both smell bad
• They are both big plants
• They are both a reddish colour.

The three differences between the 2 plants are

• Corpse flower is much taller
• Corpse flower only flowers once every 40 years. This is because the Corpse flower many years to build up energy. 
• The Rafflesia has white spots on its leaves     

Mighty Rosie

                                              Mighty Rosie          

The person I picked was Rosie (my pony). I picked Rosie because she has a strong mind and knows what she wants. Rosie is also strong because she can pull people down the drive way when she wants to get to food.  I think Rosie is tough because if she has a stone in her hoof she still jumps around the pony club.
