Homeless video For Inquiry

Current events Alizay Pulu (thanks to one news)

Police and military in Fiji are investigating an alleged assassination plot against Government MPs.

The Fiji Broadcasting Corporation says it has obtained an email outlining an attack on a parliamentary sitting, which gives orders to "shoot all members" and that "all should be dead".

The email allegedly says one person with a code name would arrange for disciplined officers and the recipient would arrange the manpower for the attacks.

FBC says it has another email which claims some police and military are involved.

The emails are reported to have been found by an Internet cafe owner who discovered them after a customer left their email open.

The owner, Rajneel Singh, is recovering in hospital under military guard after being badly beaten - allegedly by police officers - for reporting the emails.

There has been ongoing tension in Fiji over the past few months between the police and military - the Police Commander Ben Groenewald resigned earlier this month citing military interference in police work.

what birds provided feathers for the feathered cloak

what birds provided feathers for the feathered cloak.by Alizay XD

• The huia's white-tipped black feathers were worn by people of high rank, and were kept in a special carved box called a waka huia.
• Kiwi meat was eaten by chiefs. Kahu kiwi (cloaks) were made from kiwi feathers.
• Tūī can imitate other birds and people. ...
• Kākā had red feathers under their wings.

what makes these  birds so special?

Among the panoply of lions, wallabies, bears and eagles that represent their countries, the unprepossessing kiwi stands (as opposed to flies) above the rest, for no other creature has given its name to both a nation's inhabitants and its culture. The fact that this remarkable feat is probably the result of an Australian initiative only makes the symbolic rise of the kiwi more ironic, given trans-Tasman rivalries.

A more unlikely candidate for national stardom cannot easily be imagined. If the camel was concocted by a committee, responsibility for the kiwi must surely have fallen to a minor subcommittee. A walking stick for a beak, whiskers of a cat, legs of a kickboxer, wings of a hummingbird, an ostrich's egg and a hedgehog's snuffle-little wonder 19th-century ornithologists regarded it with incredulity.

For all its eccentricities, the kiwi was well adapted to its natural environment. For tens of millions of years, it quietly got on with the business of keeping the insect and worm population under control. The arrival of humans on the scene, however, presented some major changes. One of these was the threat of extinction, which the kiwi ignored for the time being. The other was the prospect of gainful employment. As it happened, the kiwi proved the right bird for the job.

Within a few years of settlement, colonial New Zealand went in search of an identity. Part of the natural process of growing up, this need for self-definition was particularly urgent in a country conscious of its youth and isolation. New Zealand needed symbols, and could draw on two rich sources: the old world and the new environment.

The first category included a range of lions, crowns and royal regalia, and offered a sense of tradition and history that the young colony so obviously lacked. Alongside these imports were home-grown alternatives which exploited the country's natural features and the culture of its indigenous people.

The ubiquitous bush, now threatened by axe and match, was such a source. But if New Zealanders were hoping for an antipodean equivalent of the British lion or American eagle, they were to be disappointed. Denied any noteworthy mammals by the untimely break-up of Gondwana, the local field of exploitable animals consisted largely of birds. Kiwi, kea, kaka, tui, moa and huia all became popular images in due course, but the last two were eventually disqualified on the grounds of extinction. Although the huia had only recently departed, the moa came to be regarded as too much of an archaic oddity to qualify for iconhood.

Had it been speed and colour New Zealanders were after, the kea and kaka would have fitted the bill. Had we opted for elegance, there was the tui, with its melodious call and chic plumage. That the kiwi prevailed suggests that rugged individuality was the virtue we cared most about, and certainly one essential to any emigrant contemplating a life in the colony.

Explanational Writing T3 W6

Your writing task for week 6  

WALT: explain how something works.

How do you write an explanation of how things work? (What is our success criteria?) Title Write about each section of our plan. Use word from our list.

Some students at Wesley Primary School would like to know how sea turtles grow into adults. Your mission for this week is t0: Use the teacher's planner to write an explanation of how sea turtles grow into adults. Self assess your work against the success criteria

Title: HOw sea turtles develop into adults

Word list: Once although although

Your explanation goes here: HOw sea turtles develop into adults   (co Wrote) Female sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand and sadly 20 % never survive. Sea turtles have been around since the jurassic time, over 150 million years. Firstly a female sea turtle lays approximately 50 and 200 eggs at one time. She lays her eggs in a hole on the beach and covers them with sand. Once she has done that she leaves her eggs and goes back to the ocean. After the female  lays her eggs they take around 6 weeks to hatch but sadly 20% of those eggs that are layed never hatch. Secondly sea turtles that make it to the ocean have to survive many dangers like  crabs,birds and rubbish.The babies are the size of a humans palm and the size of a ping pong ball.But sadly 50% do not make it to sea. Thirdly the babies  reaches the sea they try and find a hiding place like seaweed because there are many  dangers in the sea like sharks, waves ,dolphins ,crabs and sea birds.When coming out to breath. then 50% of them survive in the sea and the other 50% of them dies. Finally As each turtle grows they are not able to breed baby sea turtles until they are about 20 years in age.But to live that long is very hard being a turtle, because sea turtles are prey and there are many things that could eat them.If a sea turtle is lucky  they can live up to 80 years of age.Then the female sea turtle crawls onto the beach and lays her eggs then another life cycle begins.

Extension task: Film yourself giving your explanation of how sea turtles grow into adults and blog it.
