Trees for Survival

Trees are important because they give us oxygen,food and also help to stop global warming. We need to grow more trees because we only have 23.8% trees covering Auckland. But some lumberjacks always cut down the trees. But if you cut down trees then that means that you do not know what oxygen is. But we need to cut trees because there are lots of people that are homeless in Auckland. We  need to build schools and lots of shopping centers. But at the same time we are destroying animal habitats.

The statistics show that 23.8% of the land is covered with forests. So that means that we do not need to worry about the environment and grow more trees to survive in future.

Special things in my life

Reading

Today  I read a book called Gorilla. This book is by   Browne. This book is about a little girl that asked  her dad  question but he was always busy. The little girl was interested with gorilla’s. I like this book because there is a toy gorilla that turned into a huge toy.

The new word that I learnt was christian

Reading

Today I read the  Chicken Big by Keith Graves. This book is about a big humongous chicken that was laid from a little chicken and they thought that he was a elephant.

I liked this book because the character in this story was very funny.

The new word that I learnt was apparently. It means - As far as one knows or can see.

Artists expressions through colours

WALT understand that artists use colour to describe their feelings

My subject is turtles. Turtles  inspire me because they are hard outside with the shell and they are soft inside and are so gentle. I have chosen colors that represent the Ocean. So I have chose white because it signifies peace and I also chose green and yellow and blue. The green and yellow and blue are the colours of mother earth. It reminds me of my dad who is tough on the outside to hi children but loves and protects them. He make me do hard Maths and Reading tasks but I know that he is actually helping me to be brainy.

Swimming Recount

At school after morning tea we went to the Lagoon pool and  I was so excited. So we went on the bus and then the teachers on the  bus told people to leave space so there could be a thread on each seat. But some of them were little seats that can only fit in one person from room 6. In the bus we went with room five and room eight because room seven went in the morning to the pools. Everyone was singing songs in the bus so it doesn't feel very bored.When we got to the Lagoon pools Miss Sharma said to us to be quiet and  she called room six to go first. to go inside the swimming pools then she called room eight to go then she called room five to go.

When all the classrooms went inside we started to take off our school uniform and wear our swimming clothes. Then Miss Sharma politely said to us which group” are you” in so we replied back to her and said our group.when we went inside the pools we saw room  three do traffic movements in the pool even Miss Irene saw them do traffic movement they even had to go under a massive light  blue square by pulling the water towards them so they can move faster.than they were finished so we got to go inside the pool and learn what room three has learnt in swimming but first we had to learn how to do a streamline.

She halved the pool so we don’t go everywhere because sometimes we don’t listen to the instructor. So she halved the pool so we can stay in line and so can do it perfect then after that she taught as how to float on our backs then she taught as how to swim in the water  then we had to get our board we had to hold it on the bottom and kik our legs.when we were doing the streamline we had to bend your knees and push then you have to rub your feet together and kik.After that we were going to do a race.  we had to swim without touching the ground.

Recount about flying a kite

Yesterday afternoon we went with our bags to where the bike shed is because we are going to fly kites. But Miss Sharma said to us to not go passed the tree with the seat’s because Miss Kayla's class which is room ten was there doing kiwi can. So we were going on the grass but on the other side.

We were running with our kites to make it fly in the air but first we had to put all our bags on the steps next to the hole. We were running with our own kites but davlyn and gus did not have a kite so they used Miss Sharma’s one. And they had to make one tomorrow. Well  we were flying the kites I saw Levi’s kite get stuck on the tree. And then gus climbed the tree and got levi’s kite  but levi did not have that much time to fly his kite because the bell rang.

Miss Sharma was filming as flying our kites. We could just stand and let our kites get blow in the air.We had to get our kites and take them home with our bags but Miss Sharma shouted to us DON'T FLY YOUR KITE WELL WALKING HOME.

Describing my scene

Character description

Tane Mahuta

“ I am Tane the one that is going to make this world a beautiful place with flowers and trees. I am strong and also fearless I am the son that separated my parents apart so people could have the day and the nights.I am so strong that I can Lift up my Father. I am the hero. I can bring lots of food to the world so they don't starve".

The earth was without any trees, flowers and fruits. So people did not have anything to eat and the earth looked barren and boring. Tane started to plant little saplings and then he created some insects, butterflies and birds. The earth slowly began to look pretty.

It was because of Tane’s hard work that the world was created and it became a beautiful place for people to live.

WALT describe our scene for our narrative

                            The chilly beach

The sun was reflecting onto the deep blue crystal clear water. The massive clouds were floating in the gigantic blue sky while the seawater was slapping the rocks. It seemed like the tide was coming in. I could smell the salty sea and feel the sloppy squishy sand on the chilly beach. I felt cold and the shiver went down my spine. Far away I could hear another huge waves making it’s way towards the shore.

MY HOLIDAY RECOUNT

On  the holidays me and my family stayed at home because the weather was to chilly outside.So my big sister cooked some good warm food.We could not go outside because the grass was wet and it was sokey outside.

My big sister is name is anne-(Ane) she goes to University.she’s gonna study  at Auckland University for two years then go back to tonga. It’s so sad because she can’t cook the yummy food for us to eat.  

healthy breakfast

Break-fast is the most important meal of the day. Because if you skip breakfast you will have no energy and your body won't function at it’s best. You will feel sleepy or exhausted. For an  example  imagine you are a car and the break-fast is the fuel . Without breakfast, it’s like running a car without fuel.

You should have the four major food groups in your break-fast,  except for one which is called fats and sugars. The four major food groups is carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and milk and milk products. Make sure you have all the  four food groups in your breakfast.

When we buy our food we should   make sure that the packet is not expired or it has lots of sugar. Because if it has lots of sugar you can keep on ageing or your brain will stop working.some porridges have lots of sugar. So make healthy choices.
