W.a.l.t Skilled swimming

Swimming! 
This week the fantastic room 3 *cough cough* way better than room 2. Spent two weeks learning how to be better at swimming, like being able to do freestyle correctly or to be able to go faster. Anyway we leave school with room 4 at about 11:15 am and come back at 12:45, when we got there we had to wait about 30 minutes until we could swim. In my group there were Teia, Katelyn, Jaimie ,Charlotte, Me ,Brad, Hunter, Alfred and Grace. During the week we did back stroke with no legs, when we got back it was lunch and we got to play for only half of it, because we come back after lunch starts.

                          Do you like swimming and if you do then what is your Favorite stroke.

Snow Leapard

The snow leopard, also known as the ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number less than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040

Very rare in most of their range, an estimated 3,500 to 7,000 snow leopards are left in the wild, with 600 - 700 in zoos around the world. Exact numbers in the wild have not been determined due to the


Did you know: When it is resting, the snow leopard wraps its tail around itself like a blanket

Maui Dolphins

Maui Dolphin

The first survey of Māui dolphins in 1985 estimated the total population at 134. Māui dolphins were seen regularly in the Taranaki area in the 1970s. A population abundance estimate released by the New Zealand Department of Conservation in 2012 revealed an estimated 55 Māui dolphins over the age of one remain

Because the population is so small, Maui's dolphins can only survive a single death at human hands every 10 to 23 years. But fishing alone kills about five Maui's dolphins each year.

Māui's dolphin or popoto is the world's rarest and smallest known subspecies of dolphin. Māui's dolphins and Hector's dolphin are the North Island and South Island subspecies of the New Zealand dolphin Cephalorhynchus hectori

Did you know: In 1985 a survey estimated the total numbers of Maui's dolphins at 134.

Endangered Animals

1. Amur Leopard Since 1996, the Amur leopard has been classified by the IUCN as Critically Endangered with less than 70 individuals thought to exist today. It is hunted and killed for its beautiful fur, its habitat is being destroyed for human settlement and agricultural practices.

2. Gorillas Scientists have shown that gorillas live in complex social groups, display individual personalities, make and use tools, and show emotions like grief and compassion. We shouldn't be surprised though - Gorillas are one of our closest living relatives, and they share at least 95% of their DNA with humans.

3. Sea turtles Two types of sea turtles are amongst the most endangered species in the world: Hawks bill Turtle and the Leather back Turtle In the past 100 years, the Hawks bill Turtle has lost 90 percent of its population, 80 percent of which has been lost in the past 10 years. As of 1996, the IUCN classified it as a critically endangered species. The Leather back turtle is listed by the IUCN as Vulnerable, yet many subpopulations are facing extinction.

4. Sumatran Elephant In the past 25 years, the Sumatran Elephant has lost an astounding 70% of its habitat to deforestation for palm oil plantations, agriculture and human settlements. Less than 2000 are estimated to exist and in 2011, the Sumatran Elephant was classified by the IUCN

5.Tiger The tiger has long been hunted for its distinctive patterned fur. Of the nine tiger subspecies, three are already extinct, many are endangered but it is the South China Tiger and the Sumatran Tiger that currently face the biggest threat to their survival. Tragically, the South China Tiger is thought to be extinct in the wild as it hasn’t been spotted since the 1970´s. 9. Rhinos

      Did you know An endangered species is one whose numbers are so small that it is at risk of          extinction.
