Wind Beneath My Wings - by Augustine

Flying foxes - by Augustine

One of my powers is controlling things and people. I chose that power so that when someone bosses or tries to kill me I will do somthing to stop them. My power includes flying. I chose that power because I want to fly everywhere including planets. Finally, the last part of my power is everlasting strength and my body is made out of steel. If I get shot it won't kill me because I am a steel.

This is a picture of myself that I drew:





Bird of the year - by Augustine

Tui

Tui is one of New Zealand's native birds. The colours of their feathers are green, white, blue, black and orange. The English name for Tui is called the Parson Bird because of the white tuffs on the neck. Tui birds eat nectar, insects, seeds, and fruit. Tui birds live in the North Island, the west and south coasts of the South Island, the Stewart Island, and the Chatham Islands.

Flying Fungi - by Augustine

7 moulds found in one classroom, and the cleaner said that it would take 5 days to get one mould removed. 

1 mould = 5 days to get removed
2 moulds = 10 days to get removed
3 moulds = 15 days to get removed
4 moulds = 20 days to get removed
5 moulds = 25 days to get removed
6 moulds = 30 days to get removed
7 moulds = 35 days to get removed

For the 7 moulds to get removed, it will take 35 days.

The food that I would put in my special draining sink are:

  • chocolate cake.

Bee Informed - by Augustine

  • The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum, buzz, or drone.
  • Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
  • Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.
  • Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to  50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

  • The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the removal of wildflowers and flowering trees, habitat loss, and extensive use of pesticides.
