Exploring our national current events.

News editors make decisions everyday about which current events stories they will run. we explored the different types of current events that are happening in NZ, thought about why the story's made the news and plotted the location on a google map.

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.

Care award (Lead a school assembly)

In term 2 I lead the school assembly. I introduced the principal, and the school leaders and welcomed guests. I really liked this because it built up my confidence, something i will need if I am chosen as the next sports leader or head boy for 2020. I was proud of myself because of the good effort i gave on that day and mum so I especially deserving a treat of burger king.

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.

Tech

At tech we started to finish of our design's. This was our last week of working at tech, the design that i was working on was not's and crosses.

When we were finished everything or was waiting for something to dry Mrs Fergison set up A challenge for us which was to make A Halloween or alien design out of tinker cad.

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.
