Kiwi kids news feachered news!

Critical Thinking Challenges:

1) Imagine that the rest of the world really has forgotten New Zealand exists, what are the pros and cons of being in the world but not part of it?  

1)- A pro is we have a higher chance of not being in a war or a battle between two countries! A con is that we might be left out of some things!

2) Why would, for example, India or China be upset if a map was made without their country on it, but map-makers are happy to forget New Zealand?

2)- Because we are a ‘humble’ country.

3) Use a computer or by freehand, draw your own map of the world and remove a country without telling anyone. What does the map look like? Is it odd or is the missing country unnoticeable? Show it to classmates, can they recognise which country is missing?

4) Research into how maps have changed and evolved over time. Look at all the changes and how map-makers have shown the world in different ways. What kinds of things do you notice? Can you spot the same countries and cities in maps from different times and places?

This website might be a good starting point oldmapsonline.org

5) Visit worldmapswithout.nz and look at all the maps that people have made with An Important Missing Ingredient… OK?

Microbiome writing

This is my microbiome writing!

INTRO: Do you actually know what is in your gut? Read more to find out! I am going to tell you about,: What is the gut microbiome, and how it can talk to the brain! What is in our gut microbiome, there may be more than you think!, What is fermentation, you may be surprised by how old the art of it is! And how frementing helps us, it can do more than you think! 

 What is the gut microbiome?

 The gut microbiome is home to colones of about three hundred and eighty thousand billion bacteria and up to five different species. It takes up to 3 years to have a good gut microbiome. Science has lately proven that our gut microbiome could possibly talk directly to the brain.One reason is that 90% of the body *serotonin Is produced in the gut! *An important messenger sustenance 

 What is in gut microbiome?

 There are 3/4 main types of bacteria in our microbiome there are friendly ones that help us digest grub that we can’t. Ones that do there one thing, and by being there they take up space from bad bacteria, and stimulate our immune system. more friendly ones that stimulate the microbiome to heal/grow faster. And bacteria that aren't really bacteria, the Immune system, the ‘things’ that help us heal and stay well, they are like gard’s of the royal gut. What is fermentation? Fermentation is the process of using microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast to make our meals more 'healthy', the microorganisms are as good as medicine. The earliest signs of fermentation were about 6600 BC! And the art of fermentation is called Zymology! How fermentation helps us: Fermentation help us break down some foods that we can’t digest ourselves, like a blender. It also gives us a better gut microbiome. Some of the best grub to ferment are: Pickles, lemons, peach, and bread.

 CONCLUSION: 

I just finished explaining about ,What is in our gut microbiome and how our little passengers help?, What is fermentation and what is in fermented foods. How frementing helps us,and what it does to us!
