Phonics

Today I had another lesson of phonics. We did the words that had op and read riddles and find the words with op in it. We found 13 words and circled the words in the sentences. We also have to find 3 words from the dictionary, that had meanings to it. After we did the easy work we did the hard one which we did was paragraphs with the word with op words in it. 

Advertising

This week in writing to understand more about advertising, we created an advertising poster to sell a RWC (Rugby World Cup) item. I worked with Joel, Sakina, Miiana and I to create this advertising poster. The item we decided to sell were the RWC (Rugby World Cup) team jerseys. For this poster we tried to include different and convincing sentences to persuade others to buy this item.

Ook Words / 23/ 9/ 19

I looked outside of my window and saw people playing.  I took m cookbook
and put it away and went and played outside. When I came back inside the
house I got the cookbook and read how to make pancakes. It took me
4 or 5 minutes to read the recipe book and to know what I need. Then
I started cooking my pancakes and I was looking at it like it was gonna burn or
something might happen to my cooking. So if it burns I could recook it again.
So I looked back outside and I was so mad cause everyone was
gone and I wasted the pancakes. I love reading books, then putting them back into my bookcase. I love reading comic books but I don’t like reading other books.

If my books were lost I’ll be mad and I’ll look and look for it until I find it. But I hate it when I put my book on my bed and I come back and it’s already taken away.

At phonics I did 2 paragraphs about ook words. And we needed to find ook words in the dictionary to help us with getting 20 or more words. Then we needed to figure out the ook words that were in the long sentences and find the words with ook in it and under line it, so that we know its the words that have ook in it or at the end of it. At phonics we do paragraphs with whatever sound and make it into a paragraph and under line the ook words in the sentences.

Care Awards | Lorde

This is my first excellence and innovation care award, that I did about Lorde. I did this about Lorde, because she is a New Zealander singer, and I needed to make a DLO about Lorde and how she showed excellence and innovation in her life, because she was a New Zealander singer. Lorde started singing at the age of 13 and she made it into universal music because she was auditioning for singing around the world. She won 2 grammy awards, her stage name is Lorde and her full name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich, also another fact is that Lorde gets over 12 million dollars she earns because of being a singer on stage. Her stage name is Lorde but her real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich.

Today we had Duffy assembly, we had a special guest Jamie Wall. Jamie Wall is an author he wrote a book called Brothers in Black, Jamie Wall was inspired by Men in Black book of New Zealand rugby history. Jamie Wall came to P.B.S to talk about what he does for his job. Jamie Wall is a sports commentator, and hes leaving tomorrow to Japan to report on the rugby for Maori Television. Jamie Wall was talking to us about his job and what he does as a sport commentator. He showed us a video of him traveling around the world and watching rugby games in the best spot where you could sit. Then he gave us our Duffy books. Thank you Duffy for giving me my favorite comic books that I would really love and enjoy reading. And for Jamie Wall for coming to our school and showing us everything.

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic straws?

Plastic straws are really harmful because it harms the sea animals. I think we should ban plastic straws because there are some toxic chemicals in these plastic straws which can poison sea animals, it can get stuck in turtles and birds noses so which is why we should ban plastic straws from New Zealand. Sea creatures and animals won’t be able to digest their food, if they eat plastic straws.

Plastic straws are known to have harmful chemicals in them. Would you let your family put harmful chemicals in their mouths? I think this is not only dangerous but also very unhealthy. This chemical can make these beautiful sea creatures passed away and their will be no more sea creatures surviving anymore, because of what people are dropping on the ground. There has been 65,000 plastic straws that has been wasted and not been reused again. Because these sea creatures won’t survive if there was still plastic straws around. Not only but plastic straws are really really dangerous to the sea creatures, which is not good for them.

We should ban plastic straws since all plastic does is never biodegrade and it causes problems. We should at least pick up rubbish that are plastic and put it into the bin because one day some sea creatures might see it in the water and might think that it’s food. Everyone could get off their bottoms and be picking up the plastic rubbish instead of having our sea creatures dying in the water with people having no brains, how would you feel if there was no sea creatures in the water? We should do this by picking up plastic rubbish and putting it into the rubbish bin. Because what would happen if someone passed away because of having a plastic straw to harm them, how would you feel?

Everyone in New Zealand and in other countries need to try and keep these marine animals alive and not dying because of plastic straws that are ruining their lives. And also think about all the harm these sea creatures are getting into. Its very sad for these creatures to die because of these harmful plastic straws.

I think this is why we should be picking up the waste of plastic that are on the ground and put it in the bin, cause if we don’t there’s gonna be a bigger problem going on with the sea creatures and we're gonna have no more sea animals to swim with.
