Day 4: Another World War (1939-1945)

Activity 1

7 April: Italy invades Albania

After the war was all about trying to make Albania apart of the Italian Empire. So the event happened in Albania 1938. The people who were in the war were Italy and Albania. But Italy had 22,000 soliders but Albania had 8,000. That isn't really fair. 

10 September: Canada declares war on Germany

After Germany invaded Poland the United Kingdom and France declared war on September 3. To assert Canada's independence from the UK. Canada accepted that they could go to war. I don't where it started but I am guessing Germany. 

Activity 2

Captain Charles Hazlitt Upham

Charles Upham is probably New Zealand’s most famous soldier. His actions during the Second World War led to him becoming one of only three people – and the only combat soldier – to have won the Victoria Cross twice.

Bonus Activity: For this activity, you are going to imagine that you are just like Dorothy and that you are working as a nurse on a large medical ship.

One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you... go to see what that was. You realise that you were being under attack by the Nazis. You take your patincts and hide down below. There are more gunshots everywhere. At that moment you realise that the boat is out of control. They captain must've been shot. You go up to where the captain has been shot which he has and you decide to drive the ship. You do do it and get away from the boat before anyway else has been hurt. The captain was later taken to hostpital and survived. Everyone is now calling you there hero :)

Week One: In the Beginning (1800-1870)

Cool Kiwi Fact #1: Did you know that the Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa? Loosely translated this means ‘land of the long white cloud.’

Day 1: Arriving in New Zealand…

Activity 1: The First Settlers

On my blog, I am going to tell you three facts that I have learned about this interesting man. (Who is Maui). What other stories have I heard about Maui?

1st Fact: Maui made a fishing rod out of Flax and a jawbone. also he sang a karakai so it would give his fishing line strength. 

2 nd Fact: If Maui sings a karakia many fish will come up.

3 rd Fact: When Maui put his rod in the water they went somewhere and the hing that was pulling them was a gift from grandmother, Murirangawhenua. 

Activity 2: Setting Sail

The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave! They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand.

Imagine that you were on board one of the wakas. On your blog, write a short letter to a friend telling them about your voyage to New Zealand. In the letter be sure to tell them how you feel about moving to a new country.

I am so nervous I am moving to another voyage. Are you going any were? I am going to New Zealand. It is going to be so boring. We had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand. Well better go now.

Bonus Activity: Waka Ama

To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat races.

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race. On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?

I would like to be in a waka ama race one day because I just want to have fun and a good experience

Ocean Conservation With Libby!!

On Monday the year 6’s had a visitor come in. Her name was Libby and she is an Ocean Conservationist.  She studies Marine animals. Her favorite animal is a seal. She likes them because they are really playful sea animals. She also has a bamboo bike made with bamboo. She teaches kids all around the world. I have learned how long a small manta ray is (4.5 meters) and a large one is (8 meters). Also a whale shark can grow up to 20 meters long. I really enjoyed Libby coming and teaching us.

Amazing Christmas Art!!!

If you win you get a to watch it for free in your class and the movie is called “ Kiwi Christmas”. For the competition you get an A3 piece of paper with four frames. Next you get a pencil and some colors and draw four things that means Christmas to you.

My Amazing Fantastic Persuasive Piece of Writing!!

Last week in Te Ngahere we wrote persuasive pieces of writing. Our WALT was to use the correct structure. I think I did well with my structure. I think I need to work on using more ideas. Here is my persuasive piece of writing:

Wednesday 18 October, 2017

WALT Use the correct structure for a persuasive text.

Should plastic bags be used at supermarkets?

Local people feel that using plastic bags are not good. What do you think? I think yes . . . why? You will learn in this article why.

Firstly, what would happen if we put plastic in the sea/ocean? Do you know? Well the plastic will go to sea life and they think it’s food. Here are 2 example: Turtles think it’s jellyfish then eat it and die, some sea life think it is little pieces are plankton so they eat it.

Secondly, if you put plastic in the water if birds swoop down they think it is fish. Also when they die people open them and there are about 45 pieces of garbage inside of the bird!! Most of it is plastic!!

Thirdly, the best option is reusable bags they are the best to use. Why? I think it is the best to use reusable bags because they are Eco friendly and you can use them when you are going shopping. Reusable bags are not only cheaper in the long term, but also save a ton of money in tax dollars because we aren’t spending as much on recycling.  

Now that you know which one is better do the world a big favor and stop using plastic bags and plastic!!

My Amazing Awesome Writing Goals!!!

Last week in Te Ngahere, we created writing goals. The WALT was to identify our next learning goals in writing. Here are some of my goals  adverbs, metaphor and complex sentences. I choosed my goals from the writing rubric.  I chose these goal because I didn’t know them. Here are my goals:
