Advertising DLO

We have been learning about advertising because this will be our writing topic over the next couple of weeks. I have learnt that advertising is when someone is persuading you to buy their product. This means there is persuasive language features involved in this piece of writing. We had to write a little paragraph with exactly 25 words not 26 or 24 it had to be 25 words my group and I did really well.

Attributing Photo

We have been attributing photo. We have been doing this because we want to show people that we have been saying thanks. We also did this because it is illegal to take the pictures without attributing them.

Spark- Leadership

Yesterday afternoon we had a visit from Lynne, Lynne works at spark. The manaklani and spark have a working relationship. She visited us because they fund the Sir Peter Blake Trust. After we got to know Lynne we had to write our role models. My role model is my dad because he takes care of me. After we did that we had to think of our own dream and my dream was to be success in school so that I can get a great job. We then also had to write what we want NZ to be like.

Reflection About Oreintaring

Today we played another game of orienteering. I was really tried and exhausted. In my opinion I think I wouldn't be the right person to represent our school for this game because I can not run as fast as others. My partner and I were getting timed and our time was 25.10 minutes. It was really hard to keep on going but we finally made it even though I was tempted to just fall and stop but I kept on going. I started to get a stitch at the finish line lucky it was at the line because we ate as soon as we finished. We tarted 2.40 minutes after some of the people. My partner and I did not get a photo as soon as we finished if you took a photo we looked like to people that were about to die.

Life Education

Today was our third session. We learnt about people showing empathy. We learnt how to understand how people get stress and how it is not good for you. We learnt that if someone is bulling someone they don't necessarily know what is going on during there home life's. So before you verbally hurt someone think about what your saying and how your saying it because you don't know what is going on.  So far I have enjoyed these event's. 

My Speech

Good morning to all, Is this really how you want to end our world? It is making our world look like a pile of trash to be  very honest. Sometime we don’t really like the truth. We keep making unnecessary equipment. As you can see i think really strong and powerful about my topic.

f we don’t do anything about pollution it might spread or even worse.. If I were you I would try and distinct the pollution.  I feel like we have done nothing to help our earth but ruin it.

I know for a fact that china is filled with smog. It is because China create a variety of things. Such as clothes, toys and zectra and zectra. In China they have to close down schools and even  highways because of the smog.

Pollution might kill the plants and we need plants for our oxygen.. Earth is our home and we should take care of our home. I love living in Aotearoa I wish I could do something about this pollution infact i am I walk to school everyday. I try my hardest to walk everywhere but when I have to go place that are far i have to go in a car. At least I know that I am trying to make a change

Cars, there are so many cars in the world. We need to think about smog and realize that the smog didn’t appear from nowhere. We created it. Shouldn’t we get rid of it?  Knowing that people are responsible for pollution is heart-breaking.

I think if we just walk a bit more and go on trains more often we could make a huge change. I just hope that you have learnt something very important. We all need to lend a hand and help us make our world a better place.

So what we need to do is think about what we are putting in our air. I don't really want to breath in filthy air. I know you wouldn’t want to either.I hope you have thought really carefully

about pollution and who it can affect.

This is my speech. I presented it to my group. Tomorrow the finalist will be presenting to the whole class. When I presented my speech I felt scared and afraid.

Reading

I have been playing some reading games. Playing these games should improve my reading skills. I got most of them  rightexcept one of my question. I think I did really well and I think I should try to get 100% so that I know I can be the best that I can be.

Staying Wise With Your Money..

Yesterday we went to over to the theater for get wise. We were learning about money wise we also learnt about cross roads.  Cross roads are when we choose what way to go. Everyone in the world passes a cross road we either choose to go the easy way or to go the hard way by the hard way I mean challenging ourselves.  Jeremy quoted : Spend some on you and save some to. If you choose to save your money in a piggy bank you should be able to put all your piggy bank money into a bank account. Do you think you could earn money by doing nothing? Well you can because you get interest free. You get interest free by creating you a bank account. We learnt ways how to earn our money. If we would like to earn a lot of money we will have to work hard because someone is always watching you.As we get older most of the people that went will start at fast food places such as: MacDonald's, KFC, BK and Fish and chips. There were 27 people that turned up for this event Jeremy said that 7 people will be SS ( Superstars) 10 people will be FS ( Fence sitters) 5 people will be NS (Not Sure) and 5 people will sadly fail. Money can be bad and good at times. It is bad when we want to much and we are be really greedy and money is good when don't expect to much and we just get the right amount. I think learning about the cross roads was really helpful to some of us because we need to think about what we are doing and what the consequence will be. 

My Writing

I have just created an invitation to a depressed dentist. My invitation was for him to come to my birthday party. We had to use a website called Story Starters. Here is a link to the game if you want to try it out for yourselves. In my opinion I think that it was harder to do the actual drawing then the writing.

Reading Activity's

We have been playing a few games called Trapped and Did I Read it or not. I really enjoyed these games because they were really interesting. I did not do well on trapped however that does not mean I will do bad later on in the future. Did i read it or not went really well because it was easy to understand and i didn't have to keep reading over and over it which was really amazing.
