Day two/Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson

For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, was brave like Sully.Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully” as he was known, was an airline captain.He was forced to land his plane.Amazingly, all 155 people on board the A320 plane survived the landing.On our blog, we need to recount a time when we had someone do something really brave.

Recount - When I was 10 years old we were visited by a man from the New zealand army after knowing about him I went to my dad in order to further extend my knowledge on people who go to war. My Uncle Aisake,Afamasaga joined the U.S.A army. I think this is a brave thing to do because not all people would sacrifice there life just to save world or country. Now his uniform has been passed down to my uncle and now to my dad and next will be passed down to my brother.

Day two/Activity 2: One Small Step for Man

For this activity, we needed to  imagine that we were Neil Armstrong. We needed to write a short poem describing how we felt when we first set foot on the moon. Neil Alden Armstrong as an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon.He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. I really thought about rhyme it and also making my words detailed.

Poem - I step on the moon and dust came up
             Not a single sound not a single mouse
             Each step left a footstep and eyer step
             Left a remarkable mark. I'm shocked
             I'm scared what planet did I land on
             I can't take another step someone take
             Me down I can feel like I'm drifting away
             And away take me back far away.

Day 2/Activity 1: Flying Solo

For this activity we need to compare and contrast two aviators which was Jean batten and Amelia earhart.Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909.Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten. Here I needed to use the venn diagram provided to compare each aviators.  Did you know that Amelia earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and that.Jean batten was the First person to fly solo from England to New Zealand

Comments

In order to get more points for the summer learning journey I have commented on 5 blogs today. For today I have commented on Avalons,Joel,Victoria,Taheesha and also Sakains blog. I have made sure I have left positive feedback and have left my comment in a respectful way.I have added a greeting to greet them and also a question to make them think.

Day One/Activity 3: Scaling New Heights

We then needed to select a charity that we were  interested in. Then we need to  read all about the charity..The SPCA is a company that helps recuses animals in need. The SPCA is dedicated to preventing cruelty towards animals.SPCA goal is to protect over 40,000 animals in New Zealand every year. Animals who are sick, injured, abused or simply abandoned. People often volunteer to help these poor animals. Did you know over 40k have been rescued.

Day One /Activity 1: Setting Sail

For this activity, we need to make a list of ten food items that we  could take with us. We needed to think careful as we wouldn't have access to a refrigerator or freezer while at sea. Then we need to explain the list of 10 food items we have selected to take on an ocean voyage and the reasons why we chose these items.This was a really hard and interesting DLO because we had to try and think of foods that can't be inside of a fridge, that can be made easily and are also nice and yum.

Day One/Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa

For this activity we need to think about our own experiences and our own cultural background. I have created a DLO to share about my culture.The stars on the Samoan flag represent the Southern Stars that were followed by the ancestors of the Pacific people to the island of Samoa. February 24, 1949 was the date the Samoan flag became official.For the dancese men and boys are topless and have a lavalava with a stringy strap around their legs. For the Girls if they are doing a siva nafi they wear a fala and they have a crown which has mirrors on which is shaped like circle. They girls are also covered in oil to make them look shiny and to stick money on when people give money the also have a necklace and have C shapes on their face. For the girls doing a normal dance they were a Lavalava a matching top and also have the c shape on their Face.Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Samoa is known for its beautiful scenery. There are many native Samoans whose ancestors arrived in Samoa by boat. I come from the beautiful island of Apia.

Garry Kasparov

This week for the Summer Learning Journey it is the teaser week. We have decided to do the teaser week for practise for the real activity's.He has been the top-ranked chess player for 15 years straight ( 1985 - 2000 ). He is also known as G.O.A.T which means greatest of all time. He had started playing chess when he was 17 years. He practised every single day and hour. Here is mys story:

Pay Gap

The Black Ferns have been a very successful team, winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times.Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less money than members of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks. I think that The women should get the same amount of pay as the the all blacks men. I think that this is unfair as both teams are playing the same rugby therefore they should be paying both teams with the same amount of pay. I don’t think that giving the women team members and lower amount of pay is fair because it means that the women's team is not important or useful.

Faster than a speeding bullet

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce,  is a Jamaican track and field sprinter. Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica.Shelly, who trained for the Olympics with teammate Asafa Powell, became the first Jamaican woman in history to win an Olympic gold medal in the 100 m sprint. For this activity.For this activity, we need to  create four new similes on shelly ann fraser pryce

BFG

BFG is a Big Friendly Giant. He’s a giant yes a giant and he lives with 5 ugly,mean and dumb giants. All of these giant's hate humans but BFG does not he actually sees humans all the time at night as he is the keeper or the person who stores your dreams. BFG is really big and looks old. I imagined he smells like snozzcumbers and frobscottle as he always eat that. BFG is a brave person in one part of the movie he meets the queen. It hard to see someone special when you are different. I would use Big,Friendly,Giant,Funny,Crazy,Brave,Weird,Old,Helpful and kind hearted to describe BFG.

My Pepeha

This week for the summer learning journey . It is day 1 and I have completed activity 2.for this activity, we needed create your own pepeha. You can write the pepeha in any language that you wish. Pepeha is like a mihi that tells other people more about you.  My pepeha explains my name,family,culture,my mountain and my river.

Gifting Rainbow Crayons

To pay it forward LS2 has donated some crayons to somerville. This is a photo showing the crayons we have created. We thought that we could gift some of our crayons to somerville kids because we thought that this would make people feel happy. We packaged these up and sent them to somerville. We thought that the somerville student would love the crayons because of the bright colours and all the gillter. We would like to thank Mrs linda for her help and also like to thank the girls who helped as well as Mrs Anderson.

Tesselation

This week for math we were looking at Tessellation.  Tessellation is an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. This is my Tessellation. I have thought about my colours to show my pattern in a certain way. I have picked the Crossed liked shape in order to make my pattern. The aim was to cover as much of the white squares as possible. Doing this I noticed that I picked a small shape which was harder because the smaller my shape was the more I need to think about where I could place it. But if I picked a Wider shape if would pretty much cover most of the white squares. The colours I used was dark magenta 1,2 and 3. Next time I think I would use more brighter colours and a wider shape.

Rainbow crayons/Fake Instagram advertisment

This is a fake Instagram template we have created in order to get customers.First we email all teachers at the school asked for permission for us to come and collect some old crayons they aren't using. Then we need to color code then and also cut them so that when we placed it in the mold it would fit.Next Me,Haylee and Avalon were sent to the school kitchen to start making the crayons. What we would do was have stations, (Filling Mold,Melting and also the fridge) We worked well and managed to make 99.After that we then need to package them. We used clear packaging. We careful packed each crayon as we didn’t want crayon all over the packaging. Then we need to work on our banner.We then started to work on making a banner and decoration for our stall. We have created rainbow logos and used a lot of colors. We then have taped then together to join it.To make it interesting some girls have put together a playlist for our stall.

Athletics

This week we had athletics day. We all dressed in our house colors and enjoyed the activity. I was team green the people in my team were Nyjah,Avalon,Neavah,Jonothan and Giovanni. We had 9 activity to do. The first activity we did was rob the nest. What we needed to do was try to get as many balls in the hulla hop. There was also one person form your group that had a bib on that person could tag anyone form getting the balls form there team. The next activity was on jump you needed to jump the farest to make your team win. Next was the sponge what we needed to do was jump using the sack collect the spong go under the pipe and over the rope to were the bucket of water is then you need to dip the sponge in the bucket of water and go over the rope under the pipe squeeze it in the bucket and then jump back with the sack.After that we played shot put we had to throw the ball with our shot skills. Then after that we moved onto discus there were 3 different kinds of spots to throw the hop over and they were point 1, 3 and 5 we tried to stick with 1, 3 because it would be easier for use and because at the end of the game we won with 31 points. After that we moved onto the next activity for this we had to line up as a group and lay our chest and stomach on the ground and when the man says go we had to run and jump up and try and grab a ball. After that activity we had a bark under the shad for 20 minutes then we moved on to the egg and spoon game for this we had get into our line and have a spoon and a fake egg on top of the spoon and walk in and out of the cones and walk over the chair and wait until the man says run back and we run back we won that round. After all of the activity we had lunch which was sausages we ate our sausages and our own lunch and went and played when lunch time was finish we sat in our class outside and all the races in each class fasted. l enjoyed Athlectics day because we could have fun and play in the hot weather and work as a team.

Shakespeare

This week we were learning about Shakespeare. l was working with Avalon, Nyjah, Chavda ans Marieta we made our own script in Shakespeare language and how he use to write his plays. We made a video on chatter pix which is wear we draw a line threw the mouth on the photo and record our voice. This was really fun to create and learn more about because we got to create our own scripts. We deiced to chose the fighting seen because we all found it interesting than the other sense that were in the play Romeo and Juliet. We each had a script which we had to say when we were recording the chatter pix. We also added some facts and information about William Shakespeare and how old he and when he died. 

Helping Room 2!

Today I went to room two to help some of Mrs Pydres Student. Here is a photo of me helping Tonga and AJ learn the alphabet. I first gave them a tip which was to sing the alphabet to help them remember each letter. Then we practiced writing each letter together I used some simple words to explain how to draw each letter. After writing each word I would get them to make a sentence and then sound out the letter. I really liked how AJ and Tonga were really respectful and if they had a question they would always raise there hands. Thank you to Mrs Pydres for helping me achieve one of my activity to earn my fist gold badge

Personification Writing

The morning shines upon my face and the thick glass protects my face from the roaring wind. People stare and people laugh but all I do is glare right back while they pass. Then all of a sudden I hear a ring by the door and someone puts their hand on my face. But I wonder if they ever use soap..I get shoved in a box then I peek through the whole and see the things I’ve never seen before. After days of being loved, things started to change. My hand tied in a not no longer able to undo and my feet begin to feel poor as I’m thrown in front of the door.  I see the Sun I see the night I see what goes by me whenever I am left alone. As I touched the brown muddy black puddle my holes give way for the brown water this makes me drown and I hope for a bath. My ripped holes make all the water come threw l am scared what to do. My hands aren’t tied l am being dragged through the black muddy water l can feel the rocky muddy ground as l went under for a second dive. Still waiting for that bath!The last thing I heard was the roaring wind across my face the last thing I knew was it was time to say goodbye and off to the bin I started to cry being all alone broke my heart but being unwanted tore my apart.

This week for writing we focused on Personification. Personification means giving a non - living object human qualities. For today's class we needed to find partner. Then we need to sit back to back and try and write a personification writing with out talking or looking at each other.We thought about personification and the 5 senses to help us write a shoes journey. My partner was Avalon we mange to write 11 sentences. It was hard because we couldn't communicate as we both did our own things.

Reading Presentation

This week me and Avalon created a DLO on a Horrible Histories book that we chose. We chose the book Vile Victorians. After that we needed to choose a topic on the Vile Victorians. Me and Avalon chose School as we are in school as well. This first slide explains about the usual and horrible names that were given to children. Queen Victoria didn't like children so she used daily words to name children. The next slide talked about school punishments. Did you know that if you spilled ink on your piece of paper of if you made finger marks your hand would be caned until they were sore. The next slide talked about the school teacher. Did you know that men teachers were paid more that women teacher. The last slide is some interesting facts about queen Victoria. Did you know that On Christmas her and her husband would send decorated trees to school to help celebrate Christmas. People thought of her as a Royal Disease. She had 9 children and she married Albert,Prince Consort. Did you know that she ruled for over 63 years and died at the age of 81. A lot of people didn't know that her real name was not Victoria.

Tech

Today was another session of Tech at Tamaki Collage. Today we were programming our Mbot to avoid objects using the sensors. Sensors means something that detects if something is in the way. Like us human our sensors are sight,smell,taste and feel. The program blocks we were using were Action,operators,events and control. On my first try I got it to avoid the bowl but then it fell over the table. This meant that I needed to put a stop. Once doing this I tried it again but i didn't work. So I removed it and tried the obstacle that Mrs Dunn had built using binders,box and flies. My Mbot did avoid the files but it kept bumming into the box. I went back to my computer and change so that is was less than instead of greater than. I really enjoed this weeks lesson and hope to do something more exciting.

Banning Energy Drinks?

Today I have created a DLO based on two points of view which is Yes or No and I have also shared my opinion on this change and a short explanation on what Energy Drinks are. We needed to think about how we were going to back up our evidence and about our opinion on which side we would chose. I think If they said yes we should ban it or no we should ban it I wouldn’t really care because I don’t drink Energy drinks and it doesn't really affect me in any way.

Hiwi the Kiwi Saving the Fish

Saving the Fish

Why do help we fish? What is a fish? Who is doing this? Why is this happening? So many questions pop into our heads when someone says “Saving the fish”. The most important question is why we should save these amazing creatures who can breathe as well as swim under water. It not about how they look nor is it about their size but it's about how each and every fish is still alive enjoying its life underwater. Not only does fish need saving but our water too. Pollution could potentially harm our sea Creatures. Scientists have identified 200 areas declared as 'dead zones' as not a single organism can be grown.

Today Hiwi the Kiwi came to our school to talk about saving our fish. Fish in maori is called Kai Moana. We know that Kia Moana is made up of 2 words Kai and Moana. Kai means Foods and Moana means sea. It important to save our fish as if no fish are saved our New Zealand food tradition Fish and Chips will be broken. What’s harming our fish are plastics. These hard misshapen plastics bottles could kill our Fish’s. Due to plastic pollution over 100,000 fish have died from all sorts of plastic..If we see plastic we should remove it from the ocean.

If all fish are gone people could lose their jobs as fishermen. We learnt that if we caught a fish we should measure it but if the fish was really big we needed to back them back as they are breeding fish. Using a Wet cloth and picking it up and putting it back into the water is another way to say our fish.We do this because if we use our hands the coating that is used to protect the fish’s scales will rub off and the scales will be damage. We needed to remember if we caught a fish we needed to put it in a bucket mixed with salt and ice.

Not only do our fish get harm but our Birds do throwing plastic in the sea makes the seabirds mistake them for food.There are about 1 million seabirds who died each year. Throw water at seabirds to shoo them away from boats when fishing - save our seabirds by keeping boats clean and putting bait away.They also taught us that safety was the most important thing when fishing. Children and Adults must wear life jackets as if the boat is in danger they can hop out and float using the life jacket. Always tell someone where you are going and when you are coming back if in danger use a flare so someone can spot the location you are endangered. Make sure that your boat is clean so it won’t attract birds.

Why do help we fish? What is a fish? Who is doing this? Why is this happening? The most important question is why we should save these amazing creatures who can breathe as well as swim under water. Remember It not about how they look nor is it about their size but it's about how each and every fish is still alive enjoying its life underwater. Not only does fish need saving but our water too. Did you know that over there are about 14 billion pounds of garbage into the ocean that is killing our Fish. If we don't stop what seafood is left to eat.

Financial Literacy

Today some students from LS2 learnt about Financial Literacy ( Money Learning). Today learning intention was - To understand profit equals income minus expenditure. The first thing we needed to do was make a recording sheet in our maths books. We needed to gather some items 2 dice one number 1-6 and a dice that was plain so that we could use a dice to write J,J,H,H,B,B we then gather 2 different colored dices.I was playing with Angela and we were adding up our balances at the end we found that Angela made the most money but had a big amount so that meant that she overdraft she didn't make a profit. l made 121 dollars and taking away 70 dollars for rent l ended up with 60 dollars.

Tips to stay safe on Guy Fawkes

This week since Guy Fawkes is taking place soon, the seniors created simple and creative DLO's about Guy Fawkes. We did this to explain some clear and understanding safety tips about guy fawkes to our juniors. We made it look interesting, by using free icons and clear words.

Summaries the text/Protest

This week in reading, Waiheke group read a book about some of New Zealand's most historical protests. This book was called "Stand Up - A History of Protest in New Zealand".  During reciprocal reading, we made a list of vocabulary, questions, and predictions. The task was to complete a literacy weaving from everyone making their own strip and using two words each from the book. I chose Protest Signs and The Depression Riots. Our summary above made up of two example protests in the book, shows how the people protested and why. What is protesting? It is expressing your opinion of a cause using signs, banners, flags, marches, and etc

Literacy Weaving

This week Waiheke group were practicing Reciprocal Reading to unpack the text that we read. After doing this we got to pick two words from the book. We then used the Literacy weaving template to add our words and pictures. We put the words in the 3rd and 5th boxes and we put our pictures that were related to the words in the 1st and 7th boxes. We didn't put anything in the X part because that was saved to put the other Literacy weaving on top. After doing this we had a learning conversation to discuss the words we picked and meaning.

Guy Fawkes

This week is Guy Fawkes and today we made a DLO about Guy fawkes to find the meaning behind this celebration.Guy Fawkes is remembered since he helped the catholic people. The catholic people did not enjoy being ruled by King James 1 in fact they decide to kill him. King James didn’t allow the catholic people to read the bible. A man by the name of Robert Catesby declared to kill the king he gathered 13 men along with Guy fawkes. They used gunpowder to try and kill the king. Today we still celebrate guy fawkes by lighting fireworks and more. in order to remember what happed

Tech at Tamaki Collage

Today was another session of tech. Our tech teacher was Mr Grundy. For tech most of us continued to use the backsaw to cut a piece off the wood. Today I managed to use the chisel and sandpaper for the 2 pieces of my wood. Some people were using the benchook, mallet and chisel to cut a piece off their piece off the wood. As usual we added our names to the board for help from Mr Grundy. Next week I will continue chiseling out my second piece. I am trying to make a piano for my mum as last time I made a clock with Mrs Ferguson for my dad.

A want or need enterprise

This week for inquiry we did a research on enterprise and define what a want or need is about and added examples to it. I worked with Angela, Taheesha & I. We first needed to define what a want or a need was all about. After researching about it we added the definition to it and put 2 examples about a want or a need. On the other slides we had questions which were, how do we know or find out what other people want or need?, What is enterprise/an entrepreneur? that was the questions that we did for our DLO that needed to be answer. Our DLO is just based on enterprise and a want or a need. A need is when you need water, food, shelter, which are the most important things that could make a human being alive. A want is when I get older and I want to become a doctor or and artist since I enjoy art and helping people when I can. Sometimes something you want might not come true, and a need is something you really need in your life.

My New College

My New College
Talofa Lava and I’m Angela who is a year 8 at Panmure bridge school. I enjoy Arts and Food. Next year I will be attending my new college. Edgewater College is my new college in 2020. I feel a little nervous about adapting to a new school as I enjoy my current one. Attending my new college would be overwhelming and I think adapting to a new college can make a new me. Today I am writing an explanation on what college I am going to and how I feel about it. It's not about the people there nor is about how they look but it's about how you can get the best education you can.

What college am I going to?
For 2020 I will be going to Edgewater college. Edgewater college is a college full of Year 9,10,11,12 and 13. Edgewater provides a safe environment for students to learn and experience a wide range of activities. A dynamic and exciting school that serves its community exceptionally well.A wide range of subjects and pathways that meet students’ needs and interests, A safe, supportive and happy learning environment, Well-qualified and exceptionally dedicated staff who work alongside students and their parents, Differentiated classes and programmes, including gifted and talented and leadership opportunities.

Why I chose this college?

The reason why I chose this college because when I attend the year 9 for 2020 orientation ti gave me a lot of opportunities. They also gave opportunities for Arts like Choir - EC Voices, Jazz Band, Otago University, Shakespeare Competition, Theatresports, The School Production. They also give opportunities for Cultural groups like Cook Island Cultural Group, Fijian Cultural Group, Filipino Cultural Group, Japanese Tounagisa Group, K Pop Group, Kapa Haka, Samoan Cultural Group, Tongan Group Cultural.

My current school?
At Panmure bridge school we are expected that students respect other teachers. We get them to listen so they can learn better. Panmure Bridge School loves to have new students. The teachers need them to listen so they can give them the education they need so they should listen and be respectful to the teachers. At school, kids should be able to be confident when they talk to visitors or at assembly. They should also be confident because some visitors might ask what they are learning about. They need to talk so that the visitor can learn about the different things that Panmure Bridge does at school.

Remember It's not about the people there nor is about how they look but it's about how you can get the best education you can. Edgewater College is my new college in 2020. I feel a little nervous about adapting to a new school as I enjoy my current one. Attending my new college would be overwhelming and I think adapting to a new college can make a new me. My goals are to always try to show respect to teachers at all times and give a positive attitude towards my learning. Try my very best to be on time every day and present myself in full correct uniform.

Important Values

Important Values

It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. Today I will be talking to you about some important values that I think we all need to share to get it back. For example, respect if we show it we get it back.

What is respect?

Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general. Respect means treating someone with kindness and tolerance. For example, if someone is vegetarian and you have something that is a meat. Eating in front of them could be affecting their religion meaning you are disrespecting what they believed so you have to respect and accept that they are vegetarian. At school students are expected to respect other teachers. It is always respectful for a student to listen so that the teacher can give them the education they need.

What is empathy?

Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. It’s just like the opposite of sympathy. The Definition of Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings with another. For example, if someone is sad it's only good to talk with that person and understand what they are going through and just accept that the person feels that way.

What is tolerance?

Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. The definition of Tolerance is being patient, understanding and accepting of anything different. For example, if someone is smoking at the there house when you visit there it's only respectful if you accept it because it is their house. Tolerance also means accepting people for being a religion like Muslims, Christians, Catholic. In general, it means accepting people for who they are.


Remember It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. For example, respect if we show it we get it back. I hope I have convinced you to spread kindness.

This week we had our first practice for our writing sample. Today I was writing about some about some important values like tolerance,empathy and respect.Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general.Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. I think next time I should work on my punctuation and interesting words.

Maori Enterprise

Before

Enterprise and Economics was first introduced, by our Maori ancestors, before the Europeans settled in New Zealand. Coastal Maori sold Seafood (Kaimoana), while the Inlands preserved birds and berries. The Maori's would often trade valuable items, not knowing it's true value. Maori had grew a number of plants that had been bought by the first arrivals. By the 19th century Maori's ownership passed out


After

Enterprise was introduced, by Maori's.
Coastal Maori and Inlands preserved food.
Good items were sold with cheaper bargains.
Maori plants were brought from the first settlers
19th century they gave ownership.


Today we have created a 5 sentence summary on the Early Maori Enterprise story that we read. The before shows what we wrote about the book in 5 sentences. Then we need to change something. We need to have only 10 syllables in each sentences. We used our body to help us count each syllables in each sentences this was pretty hard but I manage to finish. I was working collaboratively with Mele and Marieta.

Water Filting

Why did we create water filters? Did you know that 2.4 billion people don’t have access to clean water. We had the idea of creating a water filter in groups, so we can see if we can filter the dirty water that we collected to represent the water that those people have access to. We then filled our bottles with our materials in order and tied it off with our cloth and coffee filters.The final part was to test it and our groups water filter did the best.

What is PHN?

PHN is a Nurse role. If you are a PHN then you need to work within the comuntiny to impove the health of everyone in the area. To be a PHN you need to be able to provide screening test to show your patient the disease or part that are damge and you need to be able to treat it and idetify the disease,part damage and the diagnosis.PHN is a role were you are working with illness,inguiry and some disease. PHN is a really importnat job as they help people live.

Why is it important to have an positive adduitde

 What is Positive Attitude? Well, positive attitude is made up of 2 words Positive and Attitude. We know that positive means happy or something good and we also know that Attitude means the way you act or another person. What does Positive Attitude mean to you? Positive attitude to me means being respectful to my teachers and elder family members as well as putting on a positive attitude every day I am at school. Having a positive attitude towards teachers,staff, parents and families give them chance to trust in any way. Having a positive attitude is important as it shows how responsible you can be showing a positive attitude can make you become a good role model or leader. Using your positive attitude could help progress strong Confidence. Some examples are not only at school they could at home to like respecting your elder family members.

Tutor someone who needs extra help with a skill

Today I help sakina do math as she struggled on multiplication using big numbers. The reason why I had chosen to help sakina is because I knew I could help someone with somthing I am confident about. It is important to help people because it means you are a kind person and you care about your class mates or the people around you.

Our first game was a against Ruapotaka. The next game we played was against Panmure District we played very well but we lost 16 nil. The next game we played was against Stone Fields.

The next game we played was against Pt England we did really good but unfortunate we lost to 10 to 0. Our second to last game was against PBS purple we did really good by passing to every team mate but sadly we lost 4 to 3.

Technology has been a must used item everyday people check social media,Notification and more. We not only get distracted by technology but we also get distracted by our friends. Sometimes people just don't understand the work and tend to play around which means we would need to help them. After this we talked about how we can help our selves from getting distracted. LS2 thought that we could move away and ask a person nicely to be quiet. Today we did two activity the first activity was when we had to tap our hands the same way as the person next to us to succeed we needed to focus.

Explanation: Should New Zealand ban plastic straws?

Why are we banning straws? What is it harming? Why Straws? So many questions pop into our heads when someone says “banning plastic straws”. The most important question is why are we saving our Marine animal as well as our earth. Earlier this year {2019} people of New Zealand have been trying to ban plastic bags yet still more plastic is flying,breaking down and polluting in our world. Would you save our sea animals? When people use plastic straws they are really being careless about their actions.

Have you ever thought about half of the world being a dumping waste. No so why are you trying to create one. Our world can be sacred to all people, a place called home, a place people created history, memories and love. If we don’t ban plastic straws we could be endangering our sea animals. Turtles could be harmed by having a straw pushed into their nostrils. If we stop using plastic straws then this can give marine animals a chance to breed which increases sea life. Thousands of animals experience the pain of having a single plastic straw in their system, stopping their ability to digest and more.

Plastic straws could cause pollution and harm our ocean. Did you know that according to google. about 65,000 straws have been found on our New Zealand beaches. Banning plastic straws will decrease the amount of straws over the years which gives our sea animals a chance to live their lives. Also, metal straws are currently being sold around the world and this means you can reuse them for quite a long time, meaning you don’t harm the environment as much.

We have tried to make our world a better place by banning plastic bags yet we are forgetting about these harmful straws. Yes drinking our delicious drink with a straw would make our life easy but think about the world,people and animals I’m pretty sure we are all capable of drinking without a plastic straw. Doing some research I found out that according to national geographics “In a cringe-inducing video that's gone viral, a team of scientists spent nearly ten minutes pulling a plastic straw from the nostrils of an olive ridley sea turtle”

Why are we banning straws? What is it harming? Why Straws? So many questions pop into our heads when someone says banning plastic straws. Remember The most important question is why we are saying our Marine animal as well as our earth. Earlier this year {2019} people of New Zealand have been trying to ban plastic bags yet still more plastic is flying,breaking down and polluting in our world. Would you save our sea animals?

Aesop Fables

This week is Book week and to embrace it we have picked one of Aesops fables and created a comic strip retelling the story. We needed to include the moral of the story. The moral of the story is that Betray a friend, an you’ll often find you have ruined yourself.Aesop is a famous storyteller who was slaved for over 45 years. He then earned his freedom by telling stories and served as an advisor for a king. A fact about Aesop is that he never wrote down his fables he only memorised them. He went to Delphi on a diplomatic mission from King Croesus of Lydia, that he insulted the Delphians, and was sentenced to death because of temple theft, and was thrown from a cliff. It is believed that Aesop was born around 600 BC and to have died around 560 BC. Most of his fables were about animals.
