We are learning about Parihaka
Parihaka is a nice peaceful place. But then they noticed that soldiers were coming to kill their people to steal their land, so what they did was... The women baked some bread to give to the soldiers. The kids welcomed them by dancing and singing to them and the women gave them bread. The soldiers felt guilty so they just took the men and put them in jail for 2 years.
I enjoyed making the google drawing because it was very fun to learn about and a little sad. I found it challenging to remember everything. Next time I will try to fit more things in.
In X men for reading we were reading a book about this boy Louis, our task this week was use a google drawing to create a character profile of Louis.
I enjoyed making Louis because he sounds like a fabulous boy to create.
I found it challenging to make his body because I was only using shapes.
Next time I would change his face.
Today We were learning to know how to verify online information and analyse the construction of digital media.
I enjoyed making the picture.
Next time I will try make my picture more lighter.
Today I was learning about what media is.
I enjoyed taking the photo and removing the background.
I found it challenging to pick the right picture.
This week in Room 1 we are describing. We had to use specific nouns, adjectives and juicy verbs to start some sentences and a simile. I enjoyed watching The Grinch. I found it challenging to remember all the things that happened in my recount. Next time I will add a simile.
My Birthday.
December the 18.
Hi I'm Aliyah and this is how my birthday party went…
There were 4 people at my birthday, Sam, Marshall, KC and Riley. We went to their houses and picked them up. After that, we drove to Breakers (a food place) and chose what we were going to eat. We sat by the window. The food came we ate it all up. It was delicious. I was just left with my dessert. I was full. I didn’t want to eat anything anymore so Marshall ate it. When we finished we went to the movies. We watched The Grinch.
In the middle of the movie Riley was too loud and annoying us so that my ruined birthday. I asked him to stop but he said ‘Shut up.’
At the end of the movie KC and I ran so we didn't have to listen to them. My Mum picked us up and dropped them off. Mum and I drove home and had birthday cake with Nan.
This week we presented our speeches.
I felt nervous. I was shaking.
We included our pepeha.
We had to use a clear voice, stand still, speak loudly, go at our own paice, make eye contact, use expression and be confident.
Our speeches needed to include a rhetorical question and be persuasive.
My speech was on Why You Should Like Dogs.
This is my speech.
Ko Pukehapopo Te maunga
Ko Waiomoko Te awa
Ko Horouta, Tereanini, Takitimu Te waka
Ko Ngati Konohi and Rongowhakaata Te iwi
Ko Whangara Te marae
No Turanga ahau
Ko St Marys toku kura
Ko Aliyah ahau
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Why you should like dogs.
Do you want to be bored at home watching your cat sleep? Well I have 2 little dogs at home always playing around and fighting. But when I come in there's Tug of War Dogs VS Human We pretended that the crowd went wild! There's growling there's roaring there's Barking and there's Death eyes. That's the really fun part of owning a dog. Since they are so small and snuggly, going to bed is pretty cool. I don't get to go to bed by myself I have snuggly warm puppies to cuddle. They are worn out by bedtime so it's off to sleep until morning. Then the fun starts all over again.
In Room 1 we have been learning about climate change. I enjoyed voice typing on to my docs. I found it challenging to find facts. Next time i will type it on.
Climate Change
How we can stop climate change? Do you even know what climate change is? Some people think that global warming is the same thing is climate change…but it's not!
What is climate change?
Climate change is the affect the warmer weather has on our planet.
The changing climate will make our weather more extreme and unpredictable. As temperature rises some areas will get wetter and lots of animals could find that they cannot cope with the changing climate.
What is global warming?
Global warming is the warming up of our planet. The earth has warmed up and around 1 degrees Celsius over the last Century.
What causes climate change?
-Burning of gas, oil and fuels that release gas into the atmosphere.
This acts like an invisible blanket trapping heat from the sun and warms the Earth.
-Cows eating builds up gas called methane gas in the stomach which makes them fart. With almost 1.5 billion cows farting methane gas into the atmosphere this is not good.
-Forests soak up carbon dioxide from the air and releases oxygen back into it. Lots of these rainforests are being cut down to clear for farmlands and roads.
How will it affect our planet?
- More Rainfall
-Changing seasons
-Shrinking sea ice
-Rising sea levels
-Some wildlife
