Special Speech

Kia ora, This week I entered into the speech competition, In did an awesome speech about why everyone should be vegetarian. I did heaps of research to back up my reasons. I worked for weeks to make my speech as perfect as possible. I really hope my speech can convince you to be vegetarian!

                              Why should everyone be vegetarian?

                         Have you seen the prices of meat these days?

Hi, my name is Mila and today I’m going to be telling you why everyone should be vegetarian. 

First, everyone should be vegetarian because we can help climate change and take care of some animals' lives and maybe because you are just allergic to meat. 

Second, when you’re a vegetarian you don’t eat fish or meat but when you’re a peskatarian you only eat fish and not meat. Everyone has their own way of doing things when they’re vegetarian or peskatarian.

Third, when you’re a lacto-ovo vegetarian you only eat dairy products and eggs. When you’re a lacto vegetarian eats dairy products but not eggs, whereas an ovo vegetarian eats eggs but not dairy products.

Fourth, people are vegetarian because they want to help with climate change because the less people that eat meat because the gas that cows produce isn't good for climate change because it warms up the earth with gas called methane. 

Summary

So to recap, the reason why we should all be vegetarian was  because if everyone isn’t vegetarian more animals can’t live a happy life with their type of species, what cows produce called methane will warm up the earth because if the the earth get too warm and it gets to 2 degrees Celsius, more than 70 percent of earth’s coastlines see sea levels rise greater than 0.66 feet resulted in increased coastal flooding beach erosion, salinization of water supplies and other impacts and ecological systems. 

Does it really sound like you don’t want to be vegetarian?  

My Wonderful Writing

 KIA Ora and welcome back to my blog and if you don't know me my name is Mila and today I'll be showing you my writing. This week my writing group OT1 have been writing persuasive writing and I've done mine on why you shouldn't have junk food at school. But my catchy title is called Sugar High? It tells you a lot about what happens when you have a sugar high. My goal was to individually write a persuasive argument and have some reasons of why you should agree on their opinion. 

Sugar High?

First, it gives you a sharp high and then it gives you a really sharp low and it won’t help you learn things at school and the teacher will get mad at you and your parents for buying you junk food for school and putting it in your lunch box. 

Second, it is really bad for your teeth and it can cost you a lot of money to get you an appointment at the dentist and probably get some of your teeth taken out if they’re really bad. That’s why you should always brush your teeth when you eat chocolate and sweets because if you don’t brush your teeth after you eat junk food that’s what will happen if you go to the dentist. 

Third, the third reason is that when you buy junk food and bring it into school the sweets and chocolate are packaged in little plastic bags so if we drop those bags we have to worry about littering and keeping our environment clean and safe and to make a huge difference for our school.

Fourth, junk food doesn’t keep you full because you will be hungry in about an hour. But if you have nutritious food you will be full and you will be full for longer. Junk food isn’t very good because it’s processed and not real food that your body needs to help you in life and go further. It doesn’t give you the energy your body needs to exercise and keep you healthy and it can make you really sick and sluggish. 

Lastly, when you have a sugar high your brain chemicals don’t function properly and they don’t keep you on track and then when you don’t have a sugar high the next day you have to catch up on school work which will be really annoying and then you have to do a lot of homework too. Your parents won’t be happy with you when the teachers tell them about your behaviour at school and how you’re going with your school work and they won’t be impressed with you. 

Does it really sound like you want to have a sugar high?

 

Terrific Trip Recount

On Thursday May 20th Tumu Hub went to Margret Mahy, Victoria Square, Feeding the tuna and The Avon Waka. The reason why we went on a town trip was because it will help us with our PBL and our Tūrangawaewae.

My favourite part of the trip was the Waka because I’ve never been on a Waka before. It was cool because I liked how all of us went at the same pace when we were rowing. Victoria Square was fun because I’ve never seen a Pou in real life. It’s amazing how the Maori people carved it to make a story out of the Pou. Margret Mahey was interesting because the woven mats had a saying in it and it had a purpose. Feeding eels\tuna was fun because I’ve never fed an eel in my life even though I fed a female one. It was so big.

Something I learnt was that the Waka was designed by Maori people and that they went fishing with their Mōkihi. Captain James Cook was the first person to discover New Zealand. There was a waiata that was carved into the stone circle that told a story of what happened at Margaret Mahey before the Earthquakes happened in 2010 and 2011. The Female eels\tuna are bigger than the female. That the female eels\tuna lay up to 1.2 million baby eggs.

The thing I found the most interesting was the telephone box in Victoria Square. I felt like I was in London. The designs on the Waka were interesting because I felt like I was in the Waka with the Maori people and I was helping them to catch some fish with their Mōkihi nets. Margaret Mahey woven mats were interesting because they had a purpose of what was happening in the old days and it represents their culture. The tuna were interesting because I didn’t know about the Tuna that much but once I heard all about them it helped me to learn more about the tuna.

 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I now understand what I have to do for our PBL and I can’t wait to meet my new PBL group.

Has your school ever been on a town trip before?

Present work in a range of forms, write content relevant to the task & use language that is suitable to the topic to the audience and purpose. 

Some of my tips were you need to have a catchy title and have a good introduction and you have to include in a comment the three words you have to use to make a quality comment you have to include Helpful, Thought, Positive. You need to do a catchy title so that you can convince the reader to read your blog post.

Try to add some interesting words eg endangered, habitat, threatened.












Yesterday we went to Orana park. I went with my class and Mrs Simanu´s class too. First we met the zoo keepers, the zoo keepers were called Tegan and Bethany. They were very nice and kind they had very interesting facts about lots of animals. Then we had morning tea, the group that I was in, was with Rosy’s mum her name is Katy the friends that were in the group with me was Willow, Rosy, Lily, and Rafa. After we had finished morning tea we went to see the Rhino’s.

The young rhino called Tino he was being a silly boy he tried to lift up the gate with its horn. But  the gate won because the gate was too strong but what happened was that a little bit of Tino’s horn came off his horn. Tino’s mum pushed tino away because she wanted her own personal space around other rhino’s.We new lots of facts about the rhino’s, our whole class got to hold a rhino’s horn  it was a rhino’s horn that died at old age.Next we got to hold a rhino’s baby tooth that fell out of a rhino that maybe died at old age or still alive.

Next we peeked to see the wild life african painted dogs. We had to be very quit because they were sleeping behind a tree. After we saw the wild life painted dogs, we peeped to see the orangutans there was a very hairy one called Charlie,and there was two others called Wanita and Vanita. The orangutans are endangered because most of their habitats have been chopped down in the forest.Then we went to see the gorillas. They are endangered too there was a big hairy gorilla called whangata and there were two brothers. Whangata was the boss of his brothers, when whangata gives serious look at his brothers they run away because they are scaredy gorillas.

Secondly we tiptoed to see the giraffes. Scientists think that giraffes have purple tongues because they have sunblock on its tongue so their tongues don’t get sunburnt. Finally we got to see the Meerkats get feed and the Porcupines. Then we got on the bus and go back to school.
