Hub moving

Hub moving

Did you know that at David Street School Hub Two is moving into the hall? So if you are interested In finding out more and how we are getting on well keep reading.

We are learning in one big hub with 75 kids with three teachers. We are finding it so hard to not be too loud. And staying on task. So to help  the teachers have put a chart to say where we are allowed to sit. Red means you have to sit by the teachers .A and orange Mean  you have to sit where the teacher can see if you are on task and last of all green. And if your name is on green you can sit where you want to sit.I think we are working quite good with the noise from the construction.

And one thing I like about being in the Hall is working with other people.And getting to work with different teachers.As well as being in a new invirament. I really find working in one big classRoom. And cool to have the opportunity to work in different spaces and environments. In my opinion I like being in one big hub.

OZ to Live after killing zoo keeper

Created on September 22, 2015

In a statement provided by Hamilton Zoo it has been reaffirmed that ‘Oz’, the Sumatran tiger that mauled a woman to death will not be put down.  Oz’s victim Samantha Lynda Kudeweh, 43, was a beloved member of the Hamilton zoo team and had been a zoo keeper for over 20 years.

In a statement released by the Hamilton Zoo, it was said that 11-year-old tiger Oz will not be euthanised. As they assured the public and zoo supporters that they have no reason to put him down. They recognise that there is an inherent risk for zoo professionals to manage big cats like Oz, hence they have no logical reason to put him down.

In a statement released a short time ago, Kudeweh’s family thanked the public and the global zoo community for their messages of support over the past couple of days.This is so sad

Ko becomes youngest major winner

Created on September 14, 2015

Lydia Ko has become the youngest woman to win a major golf title.

The impressive kiwi golfer produced an impressive eight-under-par final round to win her first major by 6 shots over  American Lexi Thompson.

The world number two Ko finished the tournament 16 under. However, it was her final round, which included eight birdies with no dropped shots, propelling her to the title.

At 18 years, 4 months and 20 days, Ko is six months younger than Morgan Pressel, the previous youngest major champion, when she won the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

“It’s amazing that I can leave my name … a little bit in the history books,” said Ko. “Winning at any age is amazing in a major, all players want to peak at their best at a major. To say that I’m the youngest in history for now, it’s so cool.”

Ko’s final round was the lowest by a winner of a women’s major, surpassing the 64 Karen Stupples carded when triumphing at the 2004 British Open.

toilets

Watch what you flush!

Created on September 15, 2015

You may think that only human-waste gets flushed down the toilet, but Tauranga City Council has recently conducted a sewerage system investigation which found rather odd items in wastewater pipes. An overhead projector, false teeth, bullets and animal offal are among some of the very unusual items found in the Western Bay of Plenty sewerage system, as contractors face a ‘particularly bad’ run of blockages.

In Tauranga city, approximately 20% of all wastewater overflows are caused by foreign objects which individuals flush down the loo. Other household items commonly found include cellphones, underwear, glasses and children’s toys. Another very random item found in the wastewater system a few years ago was a deep fryer.

To prevent these blockages, city council’s across the country wish to reinforce the basic waste-water rule which is:

“If you didn’t do it, don’t flush it.” I think that this is a very interesting

World’s Largest Feet

Created on September 14, 2015

A man in Maracay, Venezuela, has taken the record for world’s largest feet in the latest addition of Guinness World Records.

Jeison Orlando Rodriguez Hernandez has a right foot measuring 3.79 inches (9.62 cm) and his left foot measures 3.59 inches (9.12 cm).

The newest edition of the Guinness World Records book was released on the 9th of September, 2015, and Jeison is one of the lucky record holders to be recognised.

I found this weird and gross because i wonder why they grew so big and if he was born like that.

Gold For NZ Rowers

Created on September 6, 2015

At the World Championships in France the New Zealand rowing crews have claimed another two golds and a silver.

The women’s lightweight double of Julia Edward and Sophie Mackenzie defended their world title. They rowed an outstanding race, taking the lead in the third quarter and then coming home strongly to take the win in a time of 6:53.01.

Edwards was happy with the win: “We’re so stoked, we’re double world champions now, we’re very very excited – our smiles say it all. I had full confidence in Sophie going through halfway we were all pretty level but I was very confident in our last 500 metres.”

“We talked about it before the race and Sophie really ramped us up and she got us going. I think it showed in the race, we took length after length so we’re really rapt.”

Meanwhile, Eric Murray and Hamish Bond continued their winning ways on the water. The Olympic champions won their sixth consecutive world title.

The formidable duo worked their way into the lead to win by a clear margin. The win suggests their continued dominance in the men’s coxless pair will continue for some time yet. It was their sixth consecutive title in the event in an impressive time of 6:15.83.

Bond was delighted with the race, “Really pleased that we could go out there today and execute with a rhythm that I was pleased with. It’s a good time but even more satisfying than the time is just putting a good race together.”

animals

The Southland Museum is calling on Southlander’s to collect live Huhu grubs to feed its very hungry tuataras. Over 100 tuataras have come out of hibernation and the museum does not have enough Huhu grub food stocks to feed them. The tuatara curator, Lindsay Hazley, said that Tuataras eat a variety of insects but Huhu grubs are the ‘safest’ for members of the public to collect for the reptiles.

While the museum is pleading for the public to collect Huhu grubs, they are asking that they are gathered from more natural areas rather than city areas. This is because city areas are ridden with pesticides, from which the insects must build up the immunity to face. So there is a preference that grubs come from outside of the city boundary where there is no contamination.

For huhu grub first timers, the best time to find the insects is under rotten logs with finger-sized holes in them, which is usually a sign of grub infestation. While lots of people liken the grubs to the taste of peanut butter, for the tuatara the insects are a lovely thick shake.This looks verry interesting I hope i can learn more about this cool animal.
