Kiwi Innovators - Plastic Surgery

 On Wednesday in Te Ao Whanui I started another Kiwi innovators comprehension. Last week I did Pavlova. This week I am doing Plastic Surgery. I finished it today. Each week we have to do Kiwi innovators comprehension. After we read the article we have to answer some questions. Here is the answer to the questions. They were cousins. He performed facial surgery on soldiers that were mutilated by guns and bombs. The idea that faces should only be rebuilt but also made to look good. Mcindoe reconstructed the severely burned faces of young pilots and pioneered. Guinea pigs mean that they were performed on. I think that they were referred as the guinea pig club because they let themself be performed on. After we answered the questions about Plastic Surgery we have to watch three videos. After we watched the videos we have to do a task. The task is to make a video with 5 facts about stuff from the story. Here is the video.

Te Ao Whanui

 Yesterday in Te Ao Whanui we had to watch a video called "Kaupapa On The Couch Get On the Waka". The video was just basically telling us about wakas. After we watched the video we have to read a book. The book was called Waka Tapu. We now have to do three tasks from a task board. The board looks like a bingo board.  For the board you don't have to do three in a row, you can do any. The three tasks I choose do were a word of feelings, creative writing and traditional instruments. Here is my work.

Creative Writing:

It was a cold day in the ocean. Even though it was cold the scenery was still very beautiful.  The scenery for most of the day was a bright blue sky with some clouds in the sky. Today was my day off from working on the waka. Most of the day I was laying down watching the sky. If I wasn't doing that I was watching the water go by. Sometimes I would put my hand into the water and splash the water onto my face to cool down. The food today we the same as the other day's rice and fish. The rice tasted blended and dry. The fish tasted very salty and dry. 

A Word Of Feelings

The five words I choose to write about were anxiety, regretful, lonely, bold, Excited.
Excited: The reason why he might be excited is because he is going out onto the sea and is going to see things he hasn't seen.
Bold: He might be feeling bold because he is really proud of something
Lonely: He might feel lonely because there is no one around him.
Regretful: He might feel regretful because he did something and he isn't proud of it.
Anxiety: He might have anxiety because he thinks something bad will happen.

Traditional Instrument

After we did the tasks we have to do a fash finish task. The fast finish task is to do a critical thinking sheet. Here is the critical writing.

This is most affected to the Pasifika people and Maori people.
The thing that is getting in the way of the action is the government.
We can see this in New Zealand because in New Zealand there are lots of Pasifika people and Maori people. 
The time we will know that this is acceptable when the government is allowing this to happen.
This is relevant to me because my family is Maori and I know people that are Pasifika and Maori. This is also relevant to me because it is happening around New Zealand.

My Letter To A Sportsperson

 For the past couple of weeks, we have been doing sports heroes. We had to do a letter to our sports heroes but before we did that we had to make a sports profile of our hero and write about why we think they are a hero. I tried to make the letter have a bit of info about him and why I think he is my sports hero. Here is my writing. 

Monday 8 March 2021

Dear, Mr Malcolm 

My name is Carla and I am a student at Hornby high. In school for the last few weeks, we have been doing some work on sports heroes. We did profiles on a person we think is a hero. I chose you as my sports hero because you are inspiring to me.

Over the last two week, we had to learn about our favourite sports heroes. I was impressed that you can drive two sports car and you can change from a non-contact sports car to a contact sports car and also not forget that you are in a non-contact sports car. I thought that it would be hard to have two sports cars but you now changed that with you having two sports cars and one of them being contact and the other one being non-contact.

I was really impressed by your sporting achievements. There are lots of sporting achievements that I could talk about with people and they would not have a clue what I’m talking about. I remember going to Nelson to watch the PTS Superstock Stampede and seeing you race and letting other people win the Stampede.

Thanks for being my Sports Hero.

Playing To WIn - Fleur Beale

Today in reading since we don't have our discussion questions today and we didn't read anything there wasn't much to do. Since we didn't have much to do we moved onto fast finisher tasks. The fast finisher task that I am doing is getting some information on the author of our story. The author's name is Fleur Beale. She is not  just an author she also used to be a teacher. The school she used to teach at was Canterbury University. She went to was Victoria University and Christchurch Teachers College to study. I don't think that this helped her a bit to write a novel but her family inspired her to keep on writing. Fleur Beale mother was also a writer. Fleur Beale published playing to win in 1999 and it came out to New Zealand in 2006. Her most popular book is "I am not Esther".

Speech Writing - Why Girls Should Be Allowed To Play Rugby When There Older Then 13

Since November 3rd we have been writing a speech. We had to choose a topic about what we don't like or what we want to change. My topic is "why girls should be allowed to play rugby when there older then 13. We had to time our speech when we are done writing it. I choose to write about this because I play rugby and I play with other girls in mixed teams but some of them are 13 and they are playing with there brother. So far I have timed my work 2 times and its 2 minutes long and couple of seconds long.Here is my speech. 

Do you ever get tired of not being allowed to play rugby? I do very much. Hi there, my name is Carla and I am here to tell you why girls should be allowed to play rugby.

Why should girls be allowed to play rugby? I think girls should be allowed to play rugby because it makes girls stronger and it makes girls more brave. Girls should be allowed to play rugby because it gives girls a chance for them to not be what their parents want them to be. There’s a stereotype for girls that want to play “boy sports” and their parents don’t support it. Most of the time girls don’t play rugby because they think boys will be mean and judge them about it. I know lots of girls that like rugby and want to play but they don't want to because they think they will get judged.

Not many clubs offer girls rugby teams. When you are 13 and younger you can play mixed teams. When girls in the country are older than 13 we are not allowed to play rugby until we are 18 and women’s teams are offered. When girls are older than 13 we have to go into town and play but sometimes in town it can be expensive. How do you think Emily Valentine became popular? Emily Valentine became popular because she played rugby. She was the first girl to ever play rugby in history that's how she became popular.

For me it is good to play rugby because it makes me less of a girly girl and it makes me have more confidence with what I want to be. Girly girls can still play rugby even though they like pink or they like dresses. It doesn't matter if we play rugby. 

Did you know the Black Ferns are better than the All Blacks? It is very true I tell you, if you don't believe me go and search. Rugby makes girls  have more questions. Girls can be the man. When girls remember who they are the game changes. That's why I think girls should be allowed to play rugby no matter what their age.

Kids Can Kahoot

Yesterday when we finished the assessment we were making we had to choose something from the kids can task board. One of the task we that we could choose what we wanted to do. So Me and my friends choose to create a kahoot. My friend that made this with me were, Shanaya and Alexia. Our kahoot was about Kids Can. We added questions like what was there logo and how much money we needed to raise. Our kahoot has 13 questions on it. Our teacher want us to finish it today so we can play it tomorrow in class. I finished it today while in class and before class.

 Today since our teacher was away we have a simple day. Our task was to do the 100 word challenge.Our teacher put this on the slide to tell us what to write about: You have stumbled upon a life-size magic bubble which will allow you to float to any place in the world and remain safe and healthy. Where would you want to visit? I haven't had much expires with bubbles so I made up a story and a fan fiction I read. I got other the 100 words. Here is my work.

One day I was walking along a road. Soon I stumbled across a lake. The lake was crystal clear  and sawing smother. There were a lot of cars passing by. Soon there were too many cars and it got very windy. Soon enough I fell into the lake but when I fell into it… I GOT TELEPORTED. I got teleported into a different world. This plant is amazing. I want to stay here forever. This plant had animals that could talk and the people have powers. I started to walk to see if anyone was here. Soon I stumbled across a person. The person got scared and put me inside a bubble. The bubble started to fly away but not too far.
