Today we had our first session of extension, we carried on with our topic about marine life. We learned about Whakatauki, which is Maori Proverbs. Focusing on the marine Whakatauki we chose one and explained what we thought it meant. The whole extension class did this, having 2-4 slides each. Enjoy 🙂

The International Ski Federation, was barraged from competitors after a number of disqualifications due to clothing in the ski jump competition. The country’s of Germany, Austria, Norway and Japan ached when disqualification fell open their team mates for suit infringements. This causing anger and tears from the competitors.Each team was made up of two women and two men, and all five of those people who were disqualified identified as women.Wind resistance plays a important part in ski jumping, skis and suits are checked by officials to make sure that competitors have not done anything to gain an unfair advantage.The judges at the ski jump declined to comment when asked to do so by Norwegian journalists.
A group of people have been camping outside Parliament, protesting against issues around vaccinations and Covid Lockdowns. NZ Police have been involved in the situation, this is to ensure the safety of all people. So far over 100 people have been arrested. In the statement on Friday Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell said police will continue to monitor this protest at Parliament grounds. Police have been trying to move the protesters on their way, with an unsuccessful attempt the Parliament sprinklers have been turned on in a desperate situation. Apparently these sprinklers will remain on until the protesters leave, and will stay on until then. Police stated this afternoon, that misinformation and a “range of different causes and motivations” are the problem. This making it difficult to resolve the heavy situation with the protesters.

Minnie Mouse was created over 100 years ago, and is getting a makeover. She’s ditching her red polka dot dress, for a blue polka dot blazer with matching trousers. The creator of the look, Stella McCartney, has made it in honour of Women’s History Month. Minnie’s classic red bow has been swapped for a blue one, and her yellow shoes for black ones.
