The LAST One and Only IVANNNNN! (Ponder)

Kia ora peoples!! I will be starting today with a sad goodbye. I have 3 school days left currently at Owairaka Distric Primary. Very sad. So anyone who sees this- ReMeMbEr Me!!!

Anyways on with the ponder.

Here it is:

Ah yes. I won’t forget this book,and I may read the sequel, The One and Only Bob!

I think this book way reative in a lot of ways, and really showed the differences of fiction and non-fiction.

I think maybe someone around my age or younger, yet mature would like this book, as it includes hope aswell as some facts about what ishappening in real life! (Sad facts)

My favourite part was when Ivan or Mud was looking around at his new home. Sadness and joy combined.

My favourite character was Snickers the poodle.

Who did you like?

Ponder week 9

Kia Ora bloggers🌳🌸

Here is todays ponder (this is updated so I wasn’t suppossed to post it today!) (It was a draft!)

I would be very smart.

My reasoning is:

  1. If I am smart, I will quickly learn how to avoid bad luck (If I get it) and also if you were very lucky would you still have your normal smartness? But then again people are saying “What if your so lucky you just get really smart?” Well I don’t know .. Do you get to choose what you get?
  2. It all depends but I think being smart is what matters. I will be content with having a good job, and knowing how to do things well.  But that is my reasoning. What would you be?

💮🦜Kelly Sports post!! (Tabloids Day)🦜💮

🌸Kia Ora people!🌸

Two days ago we did Tabloids Day with Kelly Sports!

It was fun but hard at times.

Here are some photo’s our team were in!

It was fun!

Have you done this? Can you name any of these games? Ill giveyou a hint. In the one with the hoola-hoop you have to travel with all hands on and when the teacher say a word you have to jump in! All feet must be inside the hoola-hoop. We kept on winning that they gave us a smaller one! We all fell over at one point (very tragic).

🍓Novel Ponder 9🍓

I can’t believe I will be ending year 6 soon. Its just really sad. I don’t want to leave schools because this is the only school I have ever known as my home. I serousily doubt that Kowhai Intermediate will be better in any way. I will miss this school so so so much!

Anyways what I think we should do is awnser tis ponder not sulk!

Todays ponder is to finish off The One and Only Ivan book. Here it is!

I think thay Ivan is nervous because hes not used to being with other gorillas anymore. Because he was taken away, he dosent know how to act like a silverback. And lastly also because he was raised mostly by a human!

I think the other gorillas at the zoo don’t know what to think of Ivan. I really do hope that they call him Mud though.

If you could be anything from the ape family what would you be?

I would be a little tamarin. If you don’t know what they are search them up. Or go to the zoo! (There are some there)

I would be a Lion Tamarin!!

What would you be??

Ponder week 8!

Oh my gosh! Week eight already!!

Oh yes, kia ora bloggers.

Todays ponder is sooo hard for me to choose!

As someone said in my class, they would be the best player on a team that alway looses because they would pick up thier team and help them, which I think is an eqaully as good reason as being bad on a good team because then you can take more time to get better. Also being the worst on a good team dosent mean your bad. Every team has someone thats good at something. You should find it sooner or later.

I player soccer, and I’m good at being fearless of what can hurt you. I am a midfielder, and serousily I will bonk into people from another team and tackle till my feet hurt so I can pass the ball to another person on my team (Sometimes I might fall over though).

I don’t let my pain get to me, but sometimes that can be a bad thing. Sometimes it can be serious and trust me, you will know when it’s serious. Once one of the players on out team broke an arm! One person sprained a leg at practice. But I think mud on my legs and a bit of pain won’t let me down! It’s one of the many fun parts of playing a sport. Sometimes in sports though, words can hurt more. I remember when there was someone on the other team being rude and saying not so nice things. It let some of our team down!

What I’m tring to say is I wan’t to help my team as much as possible and do my best, but not push myself too far. I also can’t decide about the question. I guess the worst player in a good team, because everyone can get better! I’m also not a very good teacher.

Do you play any sport? Do you play it solo or in a team? Do you have a favourite position to play?

🍞Would you rather?🍞

Hullloooo bloggers!

How are you?

Today we will be doing a would you rather. I like this one because its hard to choose. Both had its ups and downs (Although I do think being giant dosen’t really have ups).

Here is the question:

I would be the size of a very large bug. Around the size of a GIANT WETA!! (Super scary by the way)

So thats around as big as and adult hand. So atleast I wouldn’t be sqaushed- RIGHT?!

It would be fun hiding in small areas. I already love small areas so much. Sometimes I will just sqaush myself in somewhere and stay there for a little. Very fun. Dosen’t sound like it, but it is. One time I got stuck in a box though…

But that is my reasoning. If you could have the flexiblility of a house cat (Domestic cat), or the strenth, and speed of a dog, what would you choose? I would have the flexiblility of a cat, as they are already exceptionaly fast! It would be fun, climbing up a tree, super fast!!

☀The one… And ONLY! MUD!☀ (Ivan)

Hullo bloggers!!

Tody I will be awnsering this One and only Ivan ponder. If you confused of the title- Ivan’s gorilla name is… (Drumroll) Mud! What a nice name.

Anyway’s lets not get carried away. I’m here to anwser this ponder, not talk about strange names!

So here it is:

I think he does remeber his childhood, and just (As the question said below) dosen’t want to remember, because it’s sad.

Here are some things he remembers

His dad grunting

His dad

His mum

His sister

Being taken away

How Tag got her name

The nest

Hunting

How he got his name

Drawing on his mother’s back with mud

The yellow bird

How many days hes has stayed in captivity

His sister hoping

Him not hoping

The smell and look of the cargo box

The correct simile/metaphor for his sister wanting to go back, then realising

And yes. Thats alot isin’t it Ivan? The second question asks why Ivan/Mud would want to forget.

Well here is my reason. I think it’s just generally despressing and hes given up with longing to go home. He knew from when they had been taken away. He knew, that they wouldn’t go back. I feel so sorry for Ivan and personally a little more sorry for Stella. She can’t not remember anything because thats how her species of brain’s work. She also stayed longer at Big Top Mall. And when she died she when in a garbage truck. No memorial. No grave. “NOPE TOO MUCH MONEY!” I bet Mack thought. And also she had to wait through unbearable days and nights with an infected foot. That must really hurt.

Thats done.

Would you rather work at the zoo looking after mammals, or reptiles? What sort? Why? Would you work with fish or birds? What would you do to help? I would work at the zoo looking after the small mammals as in rodents! If there are any there.

🌸Would you RATHERRRR!🌸

Kon’nichiwa Bloggers!

Today, as set up for the class and I, Me and the class, I must do a ‘Would You RATHER?!’.

I would have a kitty robot to bring me snacks because I am lazy! It would look like one of those automatic hand sanitizer dispensers but it would have cat ears, and a little screen for the face. Last Japan Day, we saw a robot that looked like that. It was soooo cute! When I was little I would collect random stuff to make a ‘Robot’. It would also be better than a jetpack in my opinion because the jetpack couldn’t even be able to go that high otherwise it might hurt you. Also I think it would be boring sometimes. And there are many other ways to fly; For example, planes, drones with cameras, even hot air balloons. Wereas not much people would get the experience for a robot. Also it would also be fun having a cute lil buddy to hang with you in the house. A jetpack wouldn’t bring you as much joy as a new friend, I bet.

Anyways that is my explaination.

Would you rather find out whats in space, or the deep ocean?

I would look into the deep ocean- I woud like figuring out our planet first!

🍓The one and only Ivan Ponder🍓

Ello! Aoibheann here.

Today I will be awnsering this blog ponder. Today’s ponder I had fun sorting out.

Here it is.

So I think that it is not okay to take animals from thier natual habitat today. But we must keep in mind that to get say, a wild rabbit into a domestacted one, you need to first take one out of the wild. After years of eveloution, it will then turn into a domesticated one. But it is still not okay to unessecarily take an animal out of their habitat. Reason why not to is:

Populations might decrease.

It might become depressed, if extremely social (like a rodent).

And overall its just cruel!

So if you are thinking of getting a pet always put your research into them. You must know all about them before getting one because you never know.

The second question is less of a debate. When is it okay to take an animal out of the wild?

If its hurt

If its mother or parents have died, and need caring for.

Or if it needs breeding because extinct there might be a breeding progamme at a sacturary!

Thats it for today.

Do you pefer zoos or sacturaries?

🍓Would you rather?🍓

Kon’nichiwa Bloggers!

I am going to share my opinion on yet another WOULD YOU RATHER?

Todays one is pretty interesting.

Here it is.

I would have a car that would go underwater because,

  1. So many cool sight of things you might have never seen
  2. I’ve been up in the sky so many times before. The sight are always beautiful but no big mystery.

Downsides would be

  1. You would have to dodge the sealife
  2. Depends on what gas you use (Because it could be harmful and possibly pollution causing!

Thats all for today.

Would you rather find out whats in space or find out whats in the ocean?
