Strange Things are Happening...

Hi everyone, today I will be talking about my holiday! How is your holiday? I had a GREAT holiday. I had lots of fun playing with Hana, Mum, and Dad.

So as usual, my family went to Arthur's pass. We drove down to Klondyke and it took a very very very long time to get there. I mean a very long time. When we finally got there, we drove in to see where we’re going to camp.

There were too many people in the camping ground so decided to leave to another place. It was a shame because my sister Hana and me wanted to go rock hunting. Talking about hunting, Dad likes hunting deer. But he didn't catch anything this season. If you can’t hunt deer, hunt for rocks! Surprisingly, we didn’t get any deer or rocks. This shows how hopeless we are at hunting things.

So because there were people camping near the area, we went to plan B. Camping at the Hawdon. So as we drove down to the Hawdon, we saw something strange… Young viewers, skip to the next sentence, I saw a man urinating off the bridge. (Sigh) Well, I guess that if you have smart people, you’ve got to have the not so smart ones. I’m changing the subject.

So as Dad drives the car trying to find a camping spot, I and Hana chatted quietly about everything related to Minecraft. When dad found a place to camp, Mum and Dad set up camp while Hana and I run around. I almost forgot I saw something else strange. No, it's not like the other strange that I saw. The thing is that part of the Waimakariri is all dried up! And Dad said this never happens. We found this out when we were walking to a hut. I almost died because of dehydration. Well, at least it felt like I was dying.

That's about it, we did stay for 5 more days but for the other 5 days, we just did some hiking, relaxing, swimming and playing card games. Please comment and give me feedback and some thoughts about this. Thanks for reading my post and I hope I will see you later.

The crazy POTOO!

Hi bloggers, you are probably thinking. "What is this thing?". It's the potoo, the masters of hide-and-seek. Well, when its eyes are closed. Their feathers are meant to blend in the environment pretending to be a branch. They would sit on a branch and sit very still, even if the preditor is dangerously close they would continue sitting still. These birds can grow up to 48-60 cm tall and weigh 360-650 g. The population of the potoo is unknown for unknown reasons. Potoos live in the center of South America. They usually eat beetles but can eat moths, grasshoppers and termites. Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, please comment and I'll see you later.

Facts about Toucans

Hi bloggers, yes it is one of my animations. Sorry if it's shorter than usual, I added more detail to this animation. Especially the toucan, it had 1000 squares in it. Thanks for all the comments you commented in my blogs. Thanks :)

Coal is More Radioactive Than Nuclear Waste!

Hi Bloggers, most people would agree that nuclear waste is pretty radioactive. Believe it or not, coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste! When coal burns in power plants to create energy, the waste that is left is called fly ash. Before coal is burned, it has traces of uranium and thorium (that are radioactive elements). After becoming fly ash, the elements increases 10 times their original level. It becomes a big problem around the power plant. The fly ash leaches into water and soil around plants, which affect all the crops around the area.  

I'm cutting this short because throwing scientific facts for a long time would lose your interest. So I hope you learned something or at least enjoyed it. Have you ever used coal to make a fire? And if you did, will you now stop? Bye!
