Justin – What is Meningococcal B And How You Can Prevent Spreading It

I can’t stress enough how important this is,

But you’re probably asking what is Meningococcal B? Well I’m the perfect person to ask! Meningococcal B is an uncommon but serious infection caused by the Bacteria Neisseria Meningitidis. It does serious damage to the body causing  Limb Removal, Brain Damage and Deafness. 

Babies, toddlers under 5 and teens are the most at risk group to be affected by Meningococcal B. If you live in a crowded household or working in a crowded environment you could also be at risk. 

How does it Spread? Meningococcal B transfers through sharing saliva by sharing drinks, food, utensils, kissing and even TOOTHBRUSHES so be warned. Sneezing and Coughing over someone also doesn’t help. 

Now How do we prevent it? We can prevent it by wearing a mask when in public, covering your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, Get your own toothbrush and not share food, drink or utensils with anyone!

Nuclear Protest Poem

The sky looks very clear, the birds fighting over a piece of bread

Seagulls squaking and flying around

Hearing the crashes of the waves

The splashes of the waves is nice to the ear.

 

Police Sirens

Scared because i’m in a wooden boat

The smoke spreading around our area

Rocking yacht makes a attentive moan.

 

People of our country protesting

The screams of the people

“You have no right to this”

Furious, I can’t believe this is happening!

Ki-O-Rahi Tournament 2023

Yesterday our school held a Ki-O-Rahi tournament of Year 5’s 6’s 7’s and 8’s, The game was played with rippa tags and teams of 7, everyone was put into teams of 4 which were our houses I was in Kauri and the others were Rimu, Rata and Totara. There was a schedule for each match and the people who were gonna play, while I was looking at the schedule I saw that I was only gonna play once and that was the very first match versing Rata at 11:20 and ended in 11:40 but I asked if I could sub in for a absent player at 12:20 ended at 12:40 sadly I was versing my own team.

The games were tough and close matches the first game my team won then the second game I played was a lost but it was a very even match, The tournament ended with Kauri taking the crown winning with a 3-0 record.

I really loved playing in this tournament I hoping we do this again in the future.

Letter to the President of France (Bomb Gone Project)

Dear President Jacques Chirac 

 

I hope this letter finds you well.

 

I kindly request you to stop testing in the Pacific. The radiation is killing our resources in the Pacific. Fish and vegetation are dying. Children are being born disabled.  We can not survive if you continue.

 

So please stop testing here and start testing underground in France so we are not hurt.

Measuring Angles with Protractors 2023

On one morning we learned what angles is and how to measure them with a protractor, We started with Ms. George putting some tape over our tables so we had to measure the angles that the tape formed and write our answer down near the angle. When we started me and my friends were quickly measuring angles and double checking for some of the difficult ones, While we were working Ms. George taught us that the interior angles of a triangle always added up to 180 degrees, We finished in about 5 minutes then began doing some other work but next week we pulled all the tape off it was really satisfying!
