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.

Tech

Today we went to tech at Tamaki Collage. This week was the final week for editing and Videoing for our tech movie that was going to be presenting on the last week. Me,Fui and Chavda have been creating a movie with an animation on Line following something that we have been confident about. We have made scripts and finish filming now it is time to edit. When editing I need to think about the music I use and the title I put in.

Speech

Speech

Kia ora everybody I’m Angela and I am here to tell you why we should never change our national flag. Would you like it if not only the flag was changed, but also our culture, our people, our food and our religion? As New Zealanders we should take a stand and stick together as we all live on this land.

Leaving our flag’s history and honor would mean us New Zealanders are disrespecting the original flag of New Zealand, and disrespecting the efforts of those who fought with that flag on their sleeves.
Yes designing the flags took a lot of time and effort, and yes they have quiet attractive colours, but wouldn't saving our money be sufficient. Imagine all the money wasted changing signage or to change every flag sewn or printed onto every uniform would cost a lot of money. Money that could be spent wisely to keep everyone above the breadline.

Did you know that in 1992, the former Minister of Māori Affairs, Matiu Rata asked to re-establish our national identity. Our current flag first flew on the 24th of March, 1902 and it still flies now, so why change it. You wouldn’t like it if your country’s flag was changed too so why change this one? Why change the flag that has been flying for over 119 years. Ask yourselves why you would do such a thing to your land?

Although the options of the new flag were attractive changing the flag would mean letting go of our past and changing our identity as New Zealanders, something I’m not prepared to do.

LI:To write a speech that persuades others to think the way you do

This week the Seniors has been working on speeches and the Juniors have been working on memorizing poem. We need to give eye contact and have expression as well as hooking the audience with persuasive language features. We needed to be confident to project our voice to the class. I think I have done a really good job because my language features changed from my last speech. What I could work on is building my confidence so I could be better when reading my speech. On Wednesday we had a guest visitor Mr Stevenson from tamaki collage to judge the selected peoples speech. In our class head girl of 2019 mele came first. Second came Jack head boy and third was Marieta. 

RISE UP: THE STORY OF THE DAWN RAIDS AND THE POLYNESIAN PANTHERS

Today me and Haylee worked collaborative to create a DLO about THE STORY OF THE DAWN RAIDS AND THE POLYNESIAN PANTHERS. First we read the story together and then formed an opinion on what we thought about this true story. My opinion on this event is that these people have no right to march into a house at an unreasonable time and arresting them with no Waring or reasons. I am proud that my county took a stand to fight for there own right my marching on June 1971 for there rights to be in a country. In our DLO we have surmised the story in our own words and included picture of the Polynesian panthers logo as well as the march that took place.
