Why is it important to use our PBS CARE Values?

L.I: To write an explanation using TEEL Paragraphs.

This week for writing Sakina, Haylee, Taheesha, and I worked together to create an explanation about why it's important to use our PBS C.A.R.E values. TEEL stands for topic sentence, example or evidence, explain and link ideas. We put together our idea’s and added some technical words in the making. This task was to help us revise on writing explanations as next week is assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations.

Why is it important to make wise choices?

 Why is it important to make wise choices?

Imagine being a sea creature and seeing a piece of rubbish but not knowing what it is and eating it. So many people don't think when it comes to throwing their rubbish in the bin. Therefore if you don't throw your rubbish in the bin it will end up floating in the ocean for the next sea animal to suffer in pain. 

Pollution can kill more than 50 thousand animals each year, as a result every 10 years around 500 thousand animals die. To prevent this from happening we need to use our brain and pick up any rubbish that's around you and put it in the bin. We have been so disrespectful and not knowing about our actions towards the sea animals, so we need to change the way we think right now.

Animals across the world are suffering from how much rubbish there is in the ocean, as a result turtles, seagulls and other sea animals will consume our rubbish or even get stuck in it because of our useless actions. There are bins for a reason, so it could keep our environment a safe place for our sea animals and birds.

But it's not just our actions that cause the risk of animals dying; it could be a volcanic eruption which its ashes can lead to sea creatures getting crushed by them and dieing. Pollution is a global problem which can affect our earth as well. Pollution can come from so many places like drains, rivers and strong currents that can carry all the rubbish that was in their waters and carries it into the ocean.

There are three main major types of pollution like air pollution, water pollution and land pollution so rubbish is basically everywhere. These three types of pollution can cause so much damage to our environment even ourselves, so this is why we need to stop polluting and think about the risk we are taking. Everyday at least 100 people die of pollution which is really bad for families and friends.

There are over 12 million tons of rubbish floating in our oceans every year. This must be a struggle for the animals in the ocean, and one day turtles, fish and other sea animals could go extinct from the way we are acting. Do you think we should carry on with throwing rubbish in the ocean, OF COURSE NOT we need to keep our oceans clean and safe and remember that it could cause big harm to us humans as well.

L.I: To use transitional vocabulary

This week for writing we I learnt a lot about the world and the disaster about rubbish in our oceans. My explanation that I made explains to others the situation around the world and how we need to fix it. I really liked this task because it make everyone to think the way i think we need to so we can save sea animals. The thing that I really liked about this task is how we got to write about anything that the world is struggling on.

10-5-7-10-10 Wiritng

Tonight is the night where all of the stars come out and say hi to the world. A man named James looked forward to this day and wanted to do his plan. His plan was to climb a very high mountain to watch all the stars. But this was no ordinary mountain, this mountain was some sort of cliff. He knew he could do this since he was a professional rock climber. This took him a little while to climb up since it was very big.

The sun was about to set at exactly 6:00, one by one the stars will start to shine up the whole world. He started to climb faster and faster. It was currently 5:00 and he started to stress out. This was his only time to feel the feeling that he wanted to feel when he looked at the stars on a mountain with his Grandma. Time was ticking it got closer and closer to 6:00.

As he was having doubts in himself, he looked up and saw the edge of the cliff so he didn't give up. He went as fast as he could to the top. He could sense relief in himself, and as he got up it was  beautiful. getting there at a time of 5:59. He layed down on his bag looking up thinking about his grandma. As the stars started to appear and cried in joy as the stars wrose above him.

This week for writing we did 5-7-10 but instead of doing this we added more steps and minutes which is 10-5-7-10-10. This would help us plan and do other stuff. The thing that we really need was time to plan. Out planning time was 10 minutes and the extra 10 minutes at the end is to fix up you writing piece. This was really helpful because we had more time to think about what we are writing and the amount of time we have been given to our writing.

5-7-10 Writing

That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks on the base of the windmill. This all began on a cloudy day, to where 4 people were on a hike up a mountain. The weather today there was supposed to be a thunderstorm but they didn't believe that as the forecast was always wrong around there area.

So as they were heading up the mountain they saw a big dark grey cloud coming towards them so they decided to go back. As they were heading back it started to rain buckets. They thought to them self's that they wouldn't make it in time so they stumbled into a windmill, and as they were entering a big lightning struck the ground, frightening them and went straight in.

The 4 friends huddled to keep warm and tried to ring someone but no one had service so they rested until the storm stopped. 2 of the friends could as they could constantly hearing the lightning. As they were resting the storm started to settled down an they woke up and took of back home.

Ancestor Poem

LI: Is to write a poem to describe your ancestors using the literary devices of alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphor, simile, hyperbole and rhyme.

Poems have been around for so long, like over 500 years old. Well I made a poem talking about my Ancestors. For my poem I added some power full words like, my ancestors gave me the strength to be the person who I am right now. When writing my poem I thought about my culture and the cultural things that we do in Niue .Sometimes whenever I read these I feel so many emotions inside me just from reading my own poem.  

Steps

Li: Is to recognized how to use suffix.

Stepsweb.com is a app that is helpful and fun at the same time. I have been learning how to spell words using gh. For an example Frightened, nightmare and Knight. The thing that I like about this app is that it is really fun to use and is efficient.

WW1 Collage

LI: To draw a picture in other peoples with pictures. WW1 was a brutal war with family members risking there lives to protect our country.

Exploring Provication

                                
L.I To consider two sides of a provocation. This week we have been exploring two sides of a provocation. A provocation is a action or a speech that trigger emotion or feeling. Our provocation is That if nz should be a cashless society. after considering both perspectives we think that we should not do this because people might need the money to survive, like what if they only have 20 dollars on there card.

Explanation (Plastic Pollution)

Did you know plastic pollution is a big problem to our ocean and marine life? Plastic pollution is taking over our coastlines. Plastic pollution is an environmental issue that affects our ocean, marine life and land. Many of our oceans are polluted with plastic. Think about Thailand, their oceans are so polluted that it changed from normal looking water to pitch black.

When the plastic washes up into the water, seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food. They also get caught up in plastic and the rubbish which ends up deforming the marine animals. There are pictures of turtles who’s shells have been deformed because they have been caught up in the plastic. Do you feel good about that?

When you litter your rubbish it goes to the water system and leads to the ocean. It gets washed up on our coastlines. Then it degrades into small pieces of plastic that get washed into the ocean. Seabirds and marine animals mistake it for food or get caught up in the plastic who then get deformed. 

If you see a piece of plastic just take some time to pick it up and put it in the bin. A small action could make a big change. So use the rubbish bin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week for writing was all about explanations.This was our first explanation for 2020, the thing that we learnt from this is how plastic pollution is causing big damages to our oceans. The one thing i found interesting form writing this was how over 500,000 sea birds die each year which is a big disaster to our country.

Romeo and Juliet

                       
This week for term 4 week 6 we learnt all about romeo and Juliet. In this story we had to choose one scene out of the hole story and we chose the fight against romeo and Mercutio vs Tybalt. This was a an interesting task where our teacher made it fun to do. The one thing that i like was that I could write the 10 syllabus.

A shoe's life

I can't believe I have to do this again. It’s going to be a hard day. I don’t want to have to smell the odour from my owners socks, as he walks for 5 hours.  EWWWW! Gross I can taste the sweat dripping from inside his socks. Oh well, I hope I get replaced some day. I see the dairy. OOH, is that chocolate I can smell, yum.  Finally I can see home, I get to relax before another hard days of work. Oh no. I can see I pile of wet mud on the ground. NOO! I hate this so much. We get inside, I SCREAM! “go in the direction of the washing machine,”as he slowly walked. YEAH! I can now have a nice shower. I hope this doesn’t happen again? But, if it does, ill run away.

For term 4 week 6 we had an interesting start to the morning. We had to write a story about what a shoe's life might be we call this Personification. We worked in partners but there was a twist we couldn't communicate with each other at all we had to just sit back to back. Which was  very challenging, this was very fun because I really like challenges and try to find out a way to get the work done.

Explanation

Hover Bike advertisement.

This week for writing we were continuing to complete our advertising DLO's. I was working in a group three with Matthew and Giovanni. At first we decided to make a Movie, but we realised that was to hard so we made a poster. We could either choose to make an advertisement about Rugby World Cup merchandise or a Hoverbike.

Let me tell you about my Favorited cultural celebration

Let me tell you about my Favourite cultural celebration which is matariki. I am always excited when matariki comes up which is 25 June, 2020. We celebrate this at panmure, Auckland. It is the best Because when it is the afternoon for dinner, we have a BBQ and all my family bring a chair and form a circle and look up to see all the stars. We also have to greet people in our culture which is niuean and say, "Fakaalofa atu". We usually have ribs, chicken, coleslaw and other foods. We also do cultural dance to celebrate this event and men wear flaked pants and girls wear traditional skirts and the adults do values. If we do a dance people come up on the stage and give you money which would be in your t-shirts, so in my opinion is the best because you can spend it on lollies or new equipment. They also put down lava lava's down. We can also sneak some lollies if we wanted to. matariki is the best just thinking about it just gets me hipped for next matatriki, because my family comes together and have the best time of our lives. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week we learnt a lot about commas. We learnt that commas can separate the date/year and introduce people. I really liked this activity because it got me to use a lot more commas then i use to use, and gives other people breaks rest.

Provocation and opinion

Provocation, A provocation is an action or speech that can effect people's emotions eg: They can be feelings sad or mad even happy about something. Recently a supermarket has currently ban energy drinks form there market which i think is a really good idea because kids could probably drink it and cause big side effects.

Should NZ ban Plastic Straws?

Plastic straws could be really useful for having a good drink without spilling it on you, but in my opinion we should ban them. Like think about it is effecting our sea creatures by people not being bothered to throw there rubbish in the bin which is decreasing the population of sea animals. Imagian you being a turtle and you see a plastic straw and eat it and you relies that, it was a bad dissension to eat the plastic straw, so then your air ways get blocked you can't Breath! then someone relies that you have pass.

Did you know that plastic straw take 500 years to biodegrade. From my calculations when it arrives to 2050 there would more plastic then sea creatures in our oceans if you keep on leaving your rubbish on the floor then the population of plastic will decrees the population of sea creatures until they become extinct. If this is effecting our sea life then we should stop and use reusable straws. I know plastic straws can be useful in all but it is really causing a very big disaster to our oceans. You couldn't be able to go to the beach because of all the pollution in the sea or even fish because it could be most likely for you to get a piece of rubbish instead of a fish.

Do you like fishing do you like going to the beach do you like being fascinated by sea creatures. Then Just stop just stop throwing rubbish into our oceans you would be dieng to go to the beach to surf some narly waves but you cant because you there are to much rubbish in our oceans.

So please just please don't throw plastic straws or any type of plastic away because they might be useful to build yourself a mini house of a big cat mansion or even a catapult to launch objects at you Lego. I am just saying this because I want all our oceans to be safe especially our sea creatures.

Plastic Straws

There is a lot of things going around in the world but the one thing i just about the world is how plastic straws is harming our environment. In my opinion we should ban plastic straws, because look at the damage that it is causing to our sea creatures which is a big disaster.

Persuasive Speeches

L.I: To write a speech that persuades others to think the way you do. I have really improved my speech writing over the past 2 years, this year was my best speech because i had a lot of persuasive sentences which could get the audience to think like i do, but i did have some mistakes which were fixing up some missing full stops and rearranging things. I got one of the best feed backs which was adding caffeine affects the central nervous system.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Hi my name is Matthew and I believe that coke is really bad for children under the age of 10 years old and I want parents and kids to realise this, So let me tell you why.

Coke has caffeine in it which children should NOT have. If they do, their brain will start playing up. In this case they will start to get headaches and anxiety because caffeine affects the central nervous system.

 Did you know that one can of coke has 10 teaspoons of sugar! and if you drink 3 cans of coke a day you will be having 30 teaspoons of sugar just from your drinks? Sugar could rot your teeth and could give you diabetes which can lead to being blind, losing limbs and losing teeth.

Think about the costs you will occur to keep yourself healthy. Did you know that 65% of New Zealanders have developed bad teeth just because of coke?Think about how much this is costing for our country’s health care. If I could put in one law into place I would put in that children under the age of 10 years old can not drink coke.

 If you are thinking right now oh if where not allowed to drink coke than we can drink no sugar coke. Well you can drink no sugar but it could still affect your central nervous system as it still has caffeine in it. There for people can live a healthy life.

Stretching Sentences

Stretching Sentences. Stretching sentences is a really good way to add more detail to your work. I created this DLO because I want other people to add more detail to there work and if there in a test then they could probably get a high score on there test.
