Myself

Hi I am a girl, I am 10 years old.  My name is Lana .  I live in the suburb of Glen Innes , in Auckland, New Zealand.  I go to the greatest school in our area called Glen Innes. I am proud of my Green and Black uniform and wear it daily to school.

I have dark brown eyes, and black long hair.  

The things I like doing at school are to hang out with my friends , swimming , Basketball ,   and relaxing under the trees with my fiends .  Going swimming everyday is soooo cool.   I also love writing and updating my blog every week.. It is cool to see so many people from all over the world reading my writing.

Like all the students in my class, I like food.  I enjoy eating bakery food, pizza and hot crispy chips but my favourite is Mcdonalds .

I have many friends at school too.  In school we get together to play Basketball .  I love playing Basketball  with my best friend, Sina . Sometimes we get together after school and hang out.

Glen Innes is quite a boring place to be in.

                    

The bellbird

THE BELLBIRD


The bellbird is a member of the honeyeater family, and as such has a curved bill and a long tongue, frayed at the end like a brush, which is used to reach deeply into flowers and drink nectar. Like the other two New Zealand honeyeaters, the Tui and the Stitchbird, they feed on a mixture of nectar, fruit, and insects.  The male bellbird is a dark olive green, paler on underparts, with a glossy purple head. The female has a similar plumage but none of the purple gloss and has a narrow white stripe across the cheek from the bill. Both Female and male have red eyes.  The juveniles are like the female but have brown eyes and the cheek stripe is yellowish. Bellbirds have a short curved bill and slightly forked tail. The bellbird is named for the bell-like quality of it's song and when many birds sing at once, mostly during the dawn chorus and at dusk, the famous bell notes are impressive.  The song consists of loud clear liquid ringing notes interspersed with grunts and wheezes, not dissimilar to the Tui's grunts and wheezes but slightly more refined. The alarm call is a loud harsh note repeated very rapidly.Bellbirds have always existed on Tiritiri Matangi and the population continues to grow every year.   They have flown across to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula from Tiritiri Matangi and have been observed to be breeding in Manly.

The Parakeet

The New Zealand Parakeet

This is a parakeet it is a beautiful forest bird

that is native to New Zealand.

The Red-crowned parakeet, commonly known by its Maori name kakariki, is a long tailed bright green parrot with a red crown and forehead and a band of red which extends from the bill through the eye and beyond. It has crimson rump patches and bright blue on its wing coverts and some outer flight feathers.

Kakariki are very rare in the North Island, though this wasn't always the case. They were common in the 1880s but introduced predators such as feral cats, stoats and ship rats decimated the population. They are even rarer on the South Island, but are widespread on Stewart Island and many predator-free island reserves, including Tiritiri Matangi.  

What are germs

WHAT ARE GERMS

Germs also called microbes, have to do with humans? Humans (and plants) are a place for germs to live. Think of it this way: humans need certain things to live, like oxygen, food, and water. If you take a human out of this safe, earthly environment and sent him or her to say, the moon, without food, water, and oxygen, he or she would not survive. Germs also need a certain environment in order to survive. And to some germs, the best place to be is inside the human body. Others thrive on our skin, or even just inside our mouths. Germs look for what they need to live.

One important thing to remember is that not all microbes are bad. Many are good and they help our bodies stay in balance. The bad ones, though, can make us sick. The four main types of germs are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa .
