Here is a presentation that we have created in literacy. It is about the 6 Thinking hats, and the article that I was reading was Breakers Book Spot In Grand Final. It was about the Breakers!

Badge Of Honour

This term our Literacy class is learning to use Themes. You’re probably wondering what I am talking about. Well a theme is another way of saying “the moral of the story” Here is a poster that I have also created about the story that we have read.

Talking Points

Here is a presentation that I have created during our Literacy class. At this moment our literacy class was learning how to use Talking points. I have finally completed this! We were learning to justify our opinions on a statement or article. 

What is a Theme?

Here is a presentation that my friend Mao and I have created on describing what a theme is. This presentation can teach a kid younger that doesn't know what a Theme is. You can make a copy of this presentation to answer the questions that we have put in. Also remember to leave feedback on how we did with this presentation.

How to prevent yourself from getting sick

Ugh! It’s winter, and what comes with winter is sickness!! It really does suck being sick. We should all learn how to look after ourselves. Below there are ways from preventing yourself from getting sick.

One of the easiest ways of staying healthy is eating a balanced range of food. This means eating from the 5 food groups with a focus on fruits and vegetables. If you do that then your body will receive all the nutrients it needs to be in the best condition to fight off invading germs.

Another way to prevent yourself from getting sick is by not sharing drinks or foods with other people. This means if you have a drink or a really nice food do not share it with others if you have already taken a bite from it, why? Well your your saliva could get into the food or drink that you have already drank or eaten. If you do this you could also prevent others from getting sick.

The last and final way to prevent yourself from getting sick is to wash your hands frequently. This means after coming from the bathroom and before dinner you should always wash your hands. Why? because you could be spreading your germs into your dinner or after you’ve used the bathroom. If you do this you could help yourself and also people around from getting sick.

Eating healthier, Washing your hands and NOT sharing food with others could really help you!! If you do these things you could live a better and healthy life.  I hope you live long and happy life!

Poetry

This week my literacy class has been learning about poetry, and in our writing one of our tasks were to create a poem about a certain emotion. I chose to use the emotions for my poem. Hopefully I have made your day/night.

Letter to Gustav Guttenbeil

              Dear Gustav Guttenbeil,

Hopefully you could get sent back to Tonga for all that’s wrong that the New  Zealand  Government has done.  Malo E lelei my name is Sela.

I was just reading your letter and thinking about how sad your story was. It is quite terrifying to hear that your father had died. I know how it feels when something wrong has happened when you didn’t do it. Also knowing that were interned wrongly was a great mistake. Why did they do that?  

I do believe that it was a huge mistake as you were interned. Sooner or later the government should notice that you should be in war. Hopefully the government reads your letter and kindly sends you back to Tonga.

Yours sincerely and faithfully Sela.   

Zeal Zone Art

Every Friday our senior students have classes which are called "Zeal Zone" Last week I had the greatest opportunity to be in the art class, with Ms Tito. I had created this piece of art symbol, that I thought would remember our soldiers. 

Inference Poster

In my literacy group. One of our tasks were to create a Inference poster about this character in the book (Too Close to the Wind) Here is a picture of what my post looked like.

Sina The Inventer

It was one hot day in Asia while people were working hard for Rice Planting. It was the most HOTTEST day ever. One day a Boy named Lee wanted to help so he yelled “  Stop working too hard I think you need some help” So that morning Lee went out to get some help, and only a few Volunteered to help.

Once a man named Pete had arrived to Asia and said “  Why do you like planting Rice why can’t you plant Carrots or something?”  Than a helper replied “ yeah lets plant more things not just Rice” So the Asians all started planting new things like, Carrots, Corn and things like that.

Then they all started making these things and by then. Asia was going to be one of the BEST countries that has be planting. By then Asia had been struggling for about a Week now and Plants had all died.

It was quite sad though because they had nothing left. Until one day a Girl named Sina had found these seeds lying on the ground, for a while. Then Sina had picked it up and by then she had invented a seed that grows Ice-Cream.

GOODBYE UNCLE!!

This Thursday is going to be  a very sad and happy day at the same time.  Because this upcoming Thursday my Uncle would be leaving to Australia.  There might be some sad moments and happy moments at the Airport.

My Uncle was the best uncle that I had ever had. He had spoiled me , my cousin Taniela and my Elder brother Folau. He was the BEST Uncle I had ever met.

Most of the time he could be harsh or even A lot better. Leaving New Zealand would be even harder for our family to have fun.  Saying BYE to him would be sad. I will miss my uncle because he and his GF was the best.  BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE UNCLE UNCLE UNCLE!!!!!!!! WE WILL MISS YOU <3

Testing Omaru Creek

As part of studying Omaru Creek. Each of our Literacy Classes walked down to the Creek and tested out the Smell, Colour and the Turbidity of parts of the Lake. First we tested out the Smell and most of the parts we had smelt was a lot better from the day before just like the Colour and the Turbidity.

We had tested different parts of the stream and came with different results. There are parts like the Culvert, Near the Bridge and even in the middle of the lake. First we tested the colour from these parts and it had looked like the stream and been splitted into thirds.

It had different types of colours like from in the middle of the lake it was grey and near the Bridge it was green and by the Culvert it was clear ish.  Next we tested out the smell and all the parts that we tested all smelt the same. So I thought maybe it is only the colour of the stream is the problem.

The first time we had tested out the Colour Turbidity and the smell it was very DISGUSTING. I hope you will make a Creek or even beach look better just like Omaru Creek.

My Omaru Creek Movie

Here is my video that I had created in IMovie!  This is all about the Omaru Creek and how we could make better or more beautiful. I hope you enjoy it :)

Typing test

It has been forever since I have been doing Typing test. Typing test is the best place to go if you would like to type very fast. My score is 34 and I am very proud of it. I think typing so fast can make you get better at spelling words. Here is the link to go to that site.
