A Force Of Air

Summary:

A group of scientists have created an air umbrella. The air umbrella creates a force of air which is so strong it bounces the rain away from the area above you.

Opinion:

I think the new device would be cool to use. I would like to have one so when it rains I can use it and it wouldn’t break from strong winds. I also think it will become very popular and cost heaps of money.

Summary:

McDonald’s has created a new flavoured broccoli bubble gum. The bubble gum broccoli was proved that McDonald’s encourage healthy food. Unfortunately the experiment didn’t work.

Opinion:

I think the new flavoured broccoli looks pretty because of it’s colour. I would like to try it because it might just taste like normal bubble gum. Then I’d eat it.

Into The Jungle

Summary:

An bull elephant has killed his trainer in Thailand and run into the jungle with two tourists on his back. The bull elephant was taking the tourists on a tour. The elephant was later found three kilometres away with the two tourists and was still clinging on. The elephant was shot with tranquilizer darts to make him sleepy so he could be rescued.

Opinion:

I think this bull elephant should be killed after what he did to his trainer.

Selling Thousands Of Bones

Summary:

The Government is being caused by the museum manager to stop the sale of Moa bones on websites like trade me.  However the trade me trust and Safety Manager John Duffy has commented that it was legal to sell Moa bones in New Zealand. Some buyers on trade me are selling thousands of bones from the Moa.

Opinion:

I think the Moa bones should be displayed at Auckland Museum instead of trade me so people can see them. If I had Moa bones I’ll sell them for lots of money.

Operating A Short Route

Summary:

For the first time since the 2011 earthquake, the Christchurch Tram will be back up and running making a full loop around the central city. The tram was operating a short route from the museum to New Regent Street via Cathedral Square. Now the trams are in good shape and ready to hit the road again.

Opinion:

I think having the trams back on the road will be helpful and useful for people that don’t have cars and for people that need to go to work.

The Manaiakalani Film Festival

Summary:

The movie I enjoyed was called I can do anything by room 12 at Point England school. The first thing they did was spend a lot of time practicing the lyrics and understanding them. They also spent time planning their animations. The drawing of each lyric took a long long time but, they were proud of what they have created.

Opinion:

I think what room 12 have done was awesome. I really enjoyed watching their film for the Manaiakalani festival and it even made me laugh.

An new invention known as the SlideRider, is close to being available on the market. The invention turns normal stairs into a fun and safe slide. The new sliderider is designed for all ages and can easily be stored at the top of the staircase. The idea for the SlideRider was suggested by Trisha Cleveland from Minnesota and the designs were finished in September.

Opinion:

I think the new sliderider sounds awesome and fun for kids that will enjoy it.  I wish I had stairs at home and could use this.

Summary:

A mysterious account on Twitter has been receiving a lot of attention. It appears a ‘magical’ account has been activated. The account name is @thetwofaireis. They appeared online on October the 30th. A Cornish school, where many children had never seen real snow, became one of the lucky targets of the fairies' magic. Their school transformed into a winter wonderland overnight.

I think these two fairies are very kind. If I saw a fairy at my school I’d be stoked and happy. (As long as they granted me a wish of course!)
