Why should I become a school leader

Why should become sports leader? I think I should become sports leader because I always take part in different sporting opportunities. I have represented Panmure Bridge School in many different sporting events.

I think that I will be a good sports leader, because I like to play rugby, touch, netball as well as other sports. My number one favorite sport has to be rugby because I have fun playing it. I represented Marist in an interclub tournament that was recorded for the Sky Sport channel. There are many great sporting role models in New Zealand and my goal is to be a good one for our younger students.

As a sports leader, I will have to change my attitude so that others see that I am being the best sports leader that I can be. But I also knew that I had to get 10 times more than what I had. And get more good and being a sports leader and being a role model.

As my explanation has confirmed I really want to give sports leader a go because I think that having the opportunity to apply for the sports leader role is worth a try because giving the best shot is what I am willing to take.

Advertising DLO RWC

This week in writing to understand more about advertising, we created an advertising poster to sell a RWC (Rugby World Cup) item. I worked with Joel, Sakina, Miiana and I to create this advertising poster. The item we decided to sell were the RWC (Rugby World Cup) team jerseys. For this poster we tried to include different and convincing sentences to persuade others to buy this item.

Thank you Jamie for coming to our school for coming and telling us about what he dose for  living. Jamie Wall also wrote this book because he new alot about the All Blacks so the he decide to write a book about the All Black in his own words. How he new so much about the All Blacks was because he read so much books about the All Blacks one of the books that he had read was named men in Black. Tomorrow jamie is going to japan for Maori TV

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic straws

I think that plastic straws should be banned because they are harming our animals who think that the plastic is their food. Plastic straws can get stuck in turtle’s noses, in the throats of fish and in the beaks of birds, causing slow, painful deaths. People don’t realise the number of straws being thrown away that end up on our beaches and in our oceans. Plastic straws are on our beaches and many New Zealanders don’t seem to care. Wouldn’t you prefer to save our seas?

If an animal swallows a plastic straw it is really dangerous because they can’t digest their food properly. In a few years there might be more plastic straws than sea creatures in our oceans. Imagine that! Animals should not be getting treated this way because it is not really appropriate for people to be doing this to them.

We should stop using plastic straws because they take around 500 years to biodegrade or breakdown, which is a real problem. Plastic straws are a waste because once you use them, they are simply thrown away. The plastic in the straws contains chemicals which can be really harmful to these animals, animals that often become our food. Meaning people will eventually ingest these chemicals as they make their way up the food chain.

I choose not to use plastic straws because of the damage they are causing to the world around us. Sadly during beach cleanups over the last ten years 65,000 plastic straws were found lying around NZ shorelines.

Sandra-Point Of View: Plastic Straw

This week we were making a DLO of our opinion for is we should ban plastic straws. I was working with Sakina because we had some great ideas for what we were doing. I liked working with Sakina because she is really fun to work with because she is really good at coming up with really interesting ideas

Tech

This week at tech was our last rotation with Mrs Ferguson. This week at tech i was finishing of my clock and i have completed my clock for father's day,I made the clock out of MDF wood. I was making the clock for my dad because i have not made any thing at tech for my dad only my mum. I really enjoyed going to tech this term because i was with one of my frovernt tech teachers. I liked making my clock and my board game. I made the board game because there was a board game frame left and i asked if i could have it because everyone had therde boards already. I liked being in Mrs Ferguson class because she is a kind teacher and a really cool teacher to work with because she have a lot of experience for making things on  the laser cutter and using the 3D printer to make the objects for my board game.  I would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Ferguson for helping me when i was stuck on my tech work, Also Mrs Ferguson has been there to help me and to make me happy and give me all the help that i need. It is really hard for someone to make  me happy and there are only two Teacher that are able to make me happy it is Mrs Anderson & Mrs Ferguson, They are the most incredible teachers that i know.

Tech @ Tamaki College

This week at Tech we were sanding the burn marks of our game boards off, while was also putting together my clock. My clock is a motorcycle. I was painting a board game red and blue because they are my favorite colors. The part that I enjoyed was designing my own clock because it is a really interesting idea that i had chosen to make for my tech work + it is an unusual masterpiece to make.

I am really proud of myself for what I have achieved in tech and I hope to learn more. 

Persuasive speech

Paragraph 1 –

Kia ora my name is Sandra and I am writing this speech to persuade others why New Zealand should keep our national flag. This is important because our flag has a lot of meaning to it. It has been around for years and proudly displayed on the sleeves of the New Zealand armed forces in a number of wars.



Paragraph 2 –

Have you ever wondered why people would want to change our flag, it's ridiculous I get so confused as to why people are moaning that their vote didn't count. Our flag is important to us as kiwis because it is our identity. To take away our identity  is like ignoring the past and the memories of those who gave their lives and traveled across overseas to fight for our country. As a country we can not show disrespect to the ANZACS and the iwi who took part in the fight for freedom.
Paragraph 3 –

Paying for another flag will cost millions of dollars, dollars that could be used to help others. The flags that were designed had bold colours but don't they realize that our national flag has the 4 stars on it that represent the southern cross? The stars that point north, south, west and east are part of who we are. Our voyagers used those stars at night to cross the wide pacific to find the beautiful island of Aoateroa.
Paragraph 4 –

My point is, imagine all that money used to design new flags that didn't get chosen. Instead of wasting money on new designs the government should think wisely about what they're doing, and use the money to help those who are below the breadline, not being able to provide the food that their families need.
Paragraph 5 –

To all those who chose not to keep our flag, remember to think about the decisions you made. Someone took the time and effort to make our national flag that we fly today. Would you want that person's effort to be wasted or break the hearts of those who left their beloved families to fight for us.



Paragraph 6 -

I don’t think so! I speak today to thank those who chose to keep our flag and I totally agreed to keep the flag because of the people who  thought that it was better if we spent the money on people who are below the breadline.


L.I To write a  speech to persuade other the way you think

For the past 3 weeks, in writing we have been writing a persuasive speech about what topic. I had choose to write about why New Zealand should keep our national lag, I found this topic interesting because I liked learning about some of the meanings, History behind our national flag and why it is important to us as Kiwi. The feed forward that I would give myself is  I need to work on being confident, I also would give myself this feedback because I was really good at speaking clearly. When I was reading my speech I was using a lot of eye contact because showing the audience eye contact will let them know that we are speaking to them.

Hour of code

This week we have been on hour of code again. This week we are able to go on any activity game on Hour of code. This week I have chosen to go on a dancing activity called "Dance Party".

The skill that we practised during playing this activity was to see how good we were at following instructions.

First we got off the bus and lined up to listen to what the instructions were by Emma and Kenzie. We then went inside the Mind Lab to start our first instruction which was too split into our year groups .  Then we collaborated with a partner to build a battery powered car out of cardboard, plastic wheels, sticks, battery and straws. I was making a car with Nyjah, I liked the way that me and Nyjah had worked together because we gave everything a go to  making our car and trying to make them move, but at the end we had finally achieved making our cars move. This task helped us to solve problems and learn from our mistakes while working together. This activity was my favourite part of the day at Motat. After our activities we explored the rest of Motat with our class.

I was the only one that was going to make a clock but the Sela decide to copy me and make a clock to because we were friend and she was told that she had to make a game, Sela was going to make a clock for me because we were friends and also because i had made her something that was really cool and interesting to play with and use.

Log Multiplication Game

This maths game that I have created helps you practise the skills of long multiplication. If you get the  correct answer, there is an animated gif that has a happy face, but if you get the answer wrong, it will say try again next time. There is a link on the incorrect slide which is a video that helps you solve long multiplication equations. After I created my game, I shared it to a friend, so they could test the links if it worked. The feedback I got was to make sure the text was able to be seen. I liked creating this maths game because, maths is one of my favourite subject and because it is interesting to make.

We were challenging our partners   that we were working with we had three rotations and we had a challenge to do the three sets, We had three turns each doing the HIIT rotations.
