My trip to a Wetland

My trip to Wetland

A few weeks ago we went to Whangamarino wetland to find out more about the wetland, what DOC does to preserve it and what animals live in it. In the morning we set off to the Whangamarino wetland to meet Chris and June. They had come down from Hamilton just to talk to us about wetlands and what live in them. So first he showed us some of the traps they use to trap Cats, Stoats, Weasels, and Ferrets. Then we went on a walk through a very wet wetland I mean it was flooded. You could not see some of the fence posts that were used to stop people from going into the wetland and getting lost I assume.

You may not know but eels are becoming extinct because people are finding ig eels and killing them and sometimes not even eating them. The big eels are all females and have not have not mated yet. When eels mate they do not mate in their rivers or creeks they travel to a secret spot around tongo that no one has discovered yet. We also found out that when you dump  unwanted kittens on the side of the road or in a wetland they can cause serious trouble to our native birds that live in our wetlands.

Tanki Online

Tanki Online is a 3d Adobe Flash game where you are a tank. You start at recruit and work your way up the ranks until you hit generalissimo which is hard to do and will take while. You can get different guns,  hulls, and paints that you unlock when you rank up. I play it and I am a Warrant Officer 3 at the moment. It is a online game that you play with other people around the globe.

There are test servers that is on another site that the game  turns on to let people test things that they are about to relies into the game. On the test server you get 1 000 000 crystals is a lot of game money. Crystals/Cry for short.

In this photo a shaft(that is the sniper in the game) is aiming at a Titan M1 and a Twins M3.

When you start Tanki it is hard to stop, you can do pakour, team, or go in a battle all against everybody which I find very annoying because I need people to heal or defend I am not a person who likes to be by myself.

I hope you will find the game fun!

Jobs You Will Not Believe

So I was loom for something to write about when I saw this, these jobs are crazy and I would love to be a few of them. I would love to be a Video Game Tester Testers  or a Professional Sleeper

I think these jobs are crazy and fun, I mean a job where you get hired to sleep in it. It is very very fun I imagine.


1. Food Taste Tester Professional taste testers give their opinion on everything from chocolate and toothpaste to even pet food. The tester gives the opinion on food appearance, texture, aroma, flavour and after-taste.

2. Professional Sleeper This truly is a dream job! The sleeper is hired to experience sleeping in different circumstances. For example, a hotel in Finland hired a professional sleeper to sleep in 35 different rooms and then write about the experience.

3. Video Game Tester Testers are hired to play unfinished versions of video games to find any glitches and report them to the game developers to be fixed before being sold. Getting paid to play video games all day? Sounds pretty fun!

4. Fragrance Chemist Fragrance chemists are scientists who study smells and scents. They develop and test different scents for men’s and women’s perfume, soap, lotions and other products.

5. Nail Polish Namer Ever wondered where the unusual names for nail polish colours come from? Well there is a job for that! A nail polish namer is hired to come up in new and unique names for the new colours of nail polish released by their company.
