Kia ora Paparoa Range its Pippa from Karoro School. I enjoyed Kids Country Calendar because it was interesting showing the farm and what they do on it . You couldn’t really hear the person at the start but apart from that it was great , I liked how they showed the truck coming and going. Next time try to add some of the people's voices.

Animals Should Not Be Kept in Zoos

Information Report Cicada

Cicadas

 Cicadas are living Insects that are vertebrates which means it has a spine. They can be both social and solitary since their life cycle goes on for 3-5 years . They normally live for 13-17 years and are very beautifully patterned. 

Habitat Cicadas habitats are the crown, trunk and branches of trees. Females cut slots in the branches so she can lay eggs in them .They spend most of their lives underground as larva.

 Features
 When cicadas do a clicking noise they turn it into a song and other cicadas join in. It sounds amazing because you cannot see them but you can only hear them. On a sunny day you can hear them in the trees.

 Food & Predators
 Young cicadas eat liquid from tree roots, while molting cicadas eat twigs. Cicadas are commonly eaten by Birds,Wasps, Mantises and Spiders. Even though they can get caught easily they can hide in trees. Flying Cicadas are actually not very good at flying and are quite clumsy when flying in the air. Most people would think they are very good at flying because of their big wings. 

Colour & Shape
 Cicadas can be black, brown or green and their eyes can be red, white or blue. Cicadas are oval shaped winged insects.

The Importance of Cicadas
Cicadas aerate the tree soil as they grow and can help when they die. They release nutrients to the tree. They are sometimes called natures little helpers.

 As you can see cicadas are so important to our ecosystem, like plants and trees.

Animation

WALT: make animation on slides. Today we made a animation on slides which was fun.
All you  had to do was find a background based on the animal or object  you have chosen
before you got an image you had to write in the end of your picture name you had to write
png so there would be no background and it would be transparent. You had to be very patient  because it took a bit of time but it was still very fun.

Division

WALT understand division problems. Some times division problems are just like family of facts. Division is looking at groups and how many make up that number. You can turn a hard division equation into a Multiplication equation which I think makes it easier.

Adding Masked Images

We used the Explore tool to find an image, then we clicked on the arrow next to the crop tool. It is called the mask tool. It was hard to choose a shape to match the picture, because you had to be able to see all the picture when it was masked. Next you used the line tool to make it look like a frame. My favourite masked image is the dog. I am going to use this tool to make my work look better.
