Reading - MeMe & Me

Today in Wga we have time to do work that we did earlier in the week. The work I am doing is hurumanu. I read a story called MeMe & Me. In the story, the girl begged her parents for a phone and also did cleaning at her nan's house to get money. The girl's name is Nina. We have to answer some questions from the story.

The main points of the story are Nina gets a phone, she gets a friend called MeMe. MeMe is very rude to her. At the end, Nina gets trapped in the phone and MeMe is now in her body. MeMe looks like Nina.

MeMe is a person on the phone who looks like Nina. MeMe is a person who is friends with Nina. We think MeMe is a robot. 

There is a possibility that this can happen in real life but I don't think it will. The reason why I think at it will not happen in real life is because there is lots of things that are like this already. 

I don't know what the author is trying to tell us. 

Needs vs Wants

 Last week in Te Ao Whanui we looked at needs and wants. We were told to do a DLO explaining what needs vs wants to mean. Here is the DLO.

Expected Behavior - Highlight

 Today in wānanga we looked at our schools expected behavior. We were given a sheet that had a lit of expected behavior. We got a highlighter or a marker and we had to highlight what we did on the sheet. After we did that we have to make a blog. On the blog, we have to reflect on what we did well. The ones I most highlighted are commitment, achievement and respect. With respect, I always use good manners and always have my phone off. The reason I am reflecting on this for respect is that I do it all the time. With my phone, I always have it off and in my bag. The only time I use my phone is when I text my mother. With commitment, I always am ready for learning and always arrive with the right gear. Another thing I do a lot with commitment is being focused on your task and be in the right place at the right time. The reason I do this is a lot is that I try and be the best I can. With the achievement, I always do my personal best and meet deadlines. Another thing I do a lot for achievement is line up respectfully and follow expectations when entering spaces. With resilience, I aim to overcome difficulties and have a positive and can-do attitude. Another thing I do a lot for resilience is remaining focused and get to the right place.

DLO - Maths

 Today in maths we watched a video and finished the work sheet from last week. After you did all of them you had to make a DLO explaining the different things. You could work with a partner. The person I worked with was my friend Alexia. Here is the DLO

Kiwi Innovators - Electric Fence

 Today in Te Au Whanui I finished a kiwi innovator comprehension. This week I did an electric fence. Last week I did plastic surgery. After we read the article we have to answer some questions. Here are the answers to the questions. Bills problem was his horse because when his back was itchy he had a good rub on the car. He improved it by making it portable. Gallagher's system made it more efficient. The invention revolutionises New Zealand farming by saving money on fertiliser. The company grew a lot because he extended its range. After we answered the questions we have to create an ad for the electric fence. Here is the ad.

 Today in Wānanga we had to do the 100-word challenge. Even though I didn't want to write I write more then 100 words. I wrote 112 words. Here is the writing

It was a warm day, everyone was walking outside and shopping. I was just going for a walk and these random people came up to me. Of course because I don’t have people just run up to me. The people asked me if I could sing. Of course I said I can. After I said I can they dragged me into their car. After a while, we got to an auditorium and the people said to sing. Even though I didn’t want to sing I still did. They took me into the auditorium and showed me the way to the stage. When I got onto the stage I started to sing.

Letter To Jacinda Ardern

 Today since I finished all of my work I had to write a letter to Jacinda Ardern. I was writing a letter to her because one of the tasks to write a letter to her. Here is my letter to Jacinda Ardern. 

 

Dear Jacinda Ardern 

My name is Carla and I am from Hornby High in Christchurch.

I am writing to you to tell you why I think women day is important and what I think about it.

I think women’s day is important because it is important to celebrate the day women got to

vote and have more freedom. Women’s day is important because it is the only time we get

to celebrate the women of our country. If Kate Sheppard never did anything we would of not

might have been able to vote. Ladies still would probably be in the house doing everything

around the house while the men get to get out of the house, work and meet new people.

I am glad that Kate Sheppard called out and said “that us women need to vote” because if not

life would probably still be very sexist.

Sincerely Carla

Women's Suffrage Movement

 Today in reading my group Superman had to read about women suffrage. The book was called The Fight To Vote. After we read that we have to write a paragraph about women's suffrage. I asked my teacher if I could change it so my writing was still about women's suffrage but it was like I am writing about my experience. Here is my writing.

Women's Suffrage haves been going on for a long time. I was one of the people who were marching along the street yelling to make a change in the world. I remember going out for a walk one day and going to other people houses and asking the ladies inside what they do all day and I only remember hearing that all they would be in the kitchen or in the garden or cleaning the house. Personally, I thought that was really unfair. I was not allowed to vote for a long time. I felt like we had no power and all we were made for was to stay in the house. I was so glad when we could vote because I felt like we had more power and that we weren't just meant for the kitchen. I love the new system. It was personally one of the big things that happened to me. I remember being let to vote for the first time in my life. 

International Childrens Day

Last week we had to do a slide show about children's day. We had to choose a place to do. The place we choose we have to write about that place and about what children can do there. I choose to do Ice Land. All of the class had to choose a place to do and if we did not have a Chromebook we had to pair up with someone else but both of you have to do another slide. Here is the slide show.

Playing To Win - Book Review

 On Monday I finished reading Playing To Win. Since I have already done a fast finish task our teacher said that we have to do a book review. Playing To Win was made by Fleur Beale. I didn't select the book my teacher did because they thought I could handle some of the stuff that happens in the story. I think the book was very good because it was full of drama but not to much drama and the characters interactions that happened. My favorite part of the book was at the end when Denny and Alice kiss. That we my favorite part because I like the ship and I predicted that it might happen. The characters were: Denny, Alice, Zak, Kyle, Sally, Clara, Todd, Rose, Lucy, Pete, Coach and Rugby boys. My favorite characters are Denny, Alice, Todd and Pete. I would recommend that if you are into rugby and drama you should read this book. I rate this book 5/5

EOTC Extra

Speech Writing - Why Girl Should Be Allowed To Play Rugby No Matter There Age.

For the past few weeks we have been doing speech writing. I choose to do my speech about "Why girls should be allowed to play rugby no matter there age". Today we had to record our self saying our speech standing up. I didn't enjoy much about the speech unit. I didn't like recording myself and having to say it in front of people. I liked making the speech and choosing what I wanted to write about. Sometimes while doing this I thought people would judge me about doing my speech about rugby. I learnt that I cant talk infornt of people. The purpose of a persuasive writing is that you are trying to get people to make change or have a argument about sometime you don't agree with. 

Margaret Mahy

 Today in Wānanga we had to do another EOTC task.   The task I choose to do was that I had to make a biography about Margaret Mahy. I put some facts in the biography. Here is the biography.

Me and Shanaya tried to make the kahoot long because it was a good book and there was lots of things going on.
