EOTC: Top Team

EOTC means Education Outside The Classroom. Unfortunately I only did 1 event which is Top Team. Top Team is when you are in a team and you do challenges to get points, to win because you also have to compete other teams. For me It was amazing and I got wet, my favourite challenge was the Ski Racing challenge because my team was working together. My team got 80 points but I was still happy of how much my team did. Here are some pictures of Top Team. Enjoy!

Earthquake News

Hey, on November the 14th 2016, there was a massive earthquake in Christchurch.
The earthquake happened for 2 minutes but, I slept through it so I didn't feel it.
Kaikoura had a damaged road and fields were damaged too.

I did not take this photo the person that took this photo was Joe Morgan.

After that magnitude 7.5 earthquake you should know that it didn't happened just in Christchurch it spread more.



When a earthquake happens just remember these 3 steps:

I'm happy to say that I'm okay and no one in Hornby Primary School, was injured by the earthquake.
But some people were killed when the earthquake happened.

My Persuasive Writing Techniques.

This term I have been doing persuasive writing, and I did dragon fruit cause its one of my favorite food.

Here is my techniques

Hook:

Do you know that the dragon fruit grows from a flower called pitaya? Yes, have you ever heard of a fruit that grows from a flower? Wow! It’s such an interesting fruit to learn about. It has vitamin C which means it can help kids with their health. Maybe some day you will find a dragon fruit and eat it and, if you eat it you will be like holy guacamoly! I love dragon fruit and that's why I picked it to make you interested in it. So read through these reasons why I like dragon fruit.

Arguments:

Dragon fruit is so yummy in my tummy, it’s slimy and wobbly in my mouth like jelly but sweeter. It taste so much like coconut but taste a tiny bit different and yes I do like coconut I live with it. The best part of a dragon fruit is that it comes in different colours like yellow, blue, pink and purple cool right!

A dragon fruit is yummy but it’s not always yummy by itself, using it with different tasty ideas makes it better. If you have any fruit at home you could make a salad or, you can make a dragon fruit smoothie with different kind of fruit and also maybe you can make a dragon fruit cake. So many ideas to choose from!

I love dragon fruit and I’m also happy that it’s a healthy fruit.  It’s so yummy it can maintain your sweet tooth which will let you feel fresh and free sugar. It has a vitamin C so it has 10% daily value so you can, have a strong body and a lot of energy. And what else can I say it’s a fruit it’s healthy for you.

Ending:

A dragon fruit actually has fat in it but, it’s a polyunsaturated fat that means it’s a good fat for you.  This fruit can help you to feel fuller for longer! This fruit also cures diabetes and it helps with blood sugar levels in Taiwan. If you should know when I first looked at a dragon fruit I was like no way I’m gonna eat that! But when I first ate it I loved it and said don’t judge a book by it’s cover. So try a DRAGON FRUIT today. I challenge you to it!

Facts & Statistics	The dragon fruit is a fruit because it has seeds inside and it’s called a dragon fruit. This fruit also cures diabetes This fruit can help you not feeling hungry again
Emotional Language	And what else can I say it’s a fruit it’s healthy for you.
Exaggeration
Sound Effect	So try a DRAGON FRUIT today. I challenge you to it! Wow! holy guacamoly!
Rhetorical Question	Do you know that the dragon fruit grows from a flower called pitaya? yes, have you ever heard of a fruit that grows from a flower?
Personal Experience	If you should know when I first looked at a dragon fruit I was like no way I’m gonna eat that! But when I first ate it I loved it and said don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
Repetition
Rebuttal

                                                                                                                                

My Fraction DLO Video

W.A.L.T: Order fractions with the same denominator.

So this term I have been learning about fractions in maths.

We were learning how to order the biggest fraction to the smallest fraction.

Master Chef!

Today we have been cooking for our shared lunch. We were put into our writing groups and we had a draw what group was cooking, our group was cooking the salad but most of us was thinking of doing the kebabs.  Doing the salad was pretty fun and easy but what was really frustrating was, that people in our group was yelling a cross the room for help but everything was done quickly and fast. After finishing the salad it was different because we were doing the fruit smoothies when another group the Krakens, was supposed to do it but lucky for us we did it instead. After all the hard work we put in, it was time for the shared lunch to begin. HOORAY! All the food were so yummy there were different kind of bread, crisps, kebabs and the salad. Here are some photos of people cooking and our shared lunch.

Hope you liked this post about our shared lunch.

Nutition

This term for topic we were learning about Nutrition. It was fun and we were learning it with  Mr T.

I hope you like this post and please comment down below thank you.

First Draft Recount

First Draft

On the 23rd of September,  me my Dad, Big Brother, my Sister in law and my cousin went to the AMI Stadium to watch the Canterbury vs Otago rugby game. I really wanted to go cause I wanted to watch the Canterbury Rugby Team play.

Firstly I got ready to go to AMI Stadium and I was wearing my favourite Adidas jacket. Secondly we went to go pick up my cousin first before, we could go to AMI Stadium because there was 1 more ticket left. Next we drove into AMI Stadium and as soon we drove in, I felt coldness in me real fast but I was still excited to go.

When we found our seats we bought juice, donuts, hotdogs and chips. The flavour of the juice was coconut and mango. We watched my cousins school Riccarton Primary, do their performance while we were eating. The did a Samoan dance and a Haka. After watching Canterbury the 1st half, me and my sister in law went to go buy mini donuts for my big brother. There was a long line and we missed 5 minutes of the 2nd half, finally we got the donuts and went back to our seats.

After the Canterburys amazing win my Dad had a sore back and told us, to go back home but before we could go home we dropped off our cousin. Then we went back home and we put all the photos we took on Facebook.

My Conclusion:

On the 23rd of September, I went to the Canterbury vs Otago rugby game. I was proud and amazed how Canterbury played and that they’re representing part of Christchurch. This is a fun moment I will never forget.

What have we been learning the Term?

This term we are working on our film for the Film Festival on 22nd September 2016.

My group is doing a News Article, in my group there is Mikayla, Anneleise and Sharnania. Our movie was about news that happened in H.P.S. Our movie will be held at H.P.S hall. It was challenging and so much fun to learn how to make movies.  Here are some photos of us working on our movie.

The Calf's Worst Day Ever (My Presentation).

W.A.L.T make improvements to my writing and present it to an audience.

The Calf’s Worst Day Ever.

Earlier on December, it was another beautiful sunny day on the African Savannah.  When my family started to migrate, I was happy to see my dad leading the herd like he was a proud king.  As we were walking near the lake the sun shines through the rippling water like it was a crystal lake.  Life was lonely for me because I’m the only calf in the herd but my mother cheers me up, maybe I’ll get a brother or sister some day.  As I was walking I noticed that we were in Matuna’s lion territory but they weren't there so I carried on.  When we were walking I felt nervous if Matuna was really there, I see and smell danger coming a head, but suddenly my dad stopped then he yelled ‘’ Run!’’  I ran as fast as I could, zooming through the dusty wind I looked behind me, Matuna was charging after me.

I puffed and puffed.  I slipped and I fell into the lake, I was drowning, but the lions were helping me out. I was disappointed when my parents left me I was heartbroken, but suddenly I hear a SNAP! Someone was grabbing my leg.  I noticed that a crocodile was grabbing my leg.  It felt like my bones were going to slip off and crumble into pieces. Luckily I was helped out by the lions.  At first I thought I was gonna be killed because Matuna said ‘’ Hakuna matata calf, every thing will be all ok’’ he was talking in a bad way. I shivered so much, tears were coming down I couldn't handle it. When I looked around me I saw my whole herd coming this way.  The lions heard a big THUMP!  They were ready to take out their biggest rivals ever with the buffalos, my life felt like back in WW1 but my dad has good moves. My dad tossed Matuna in the air and threw him on the ground, he was like a big silver back gorilla. Finally I was saved.

I was glad and joyful that I was saved, I had lots of scratches on my left back leg, but I was ok. I looked at my dad and I was proud to see him again and I also learned my lesson to never migrate near the lake again because that's when my past starts again.

What I learnt at Orana Wilde life Park.

Yesterday was amazing  at Orana park.  I went with my classroom Ako- Ngatahi.  I had fun and our teacher Petra was guiding us and telling us about the animals and their adaptations.  My favourite animal are meerkats .  

I’ve learnt that meerkats have a special sight,  so when they are digging holes underground they have these special glass things to cover their eyes from the sand.

Also I’ve learnt that when kiwis lay their eggs,   the baby kiwi comes out of the egg with feathers.

I didn’t know that geckos tails can rip off and grow again but they only do that if they're in danger like if a cat got its tail it could rip off.

Did you know that gorillas weigh 200 kilograms wow!

Hey you! When gibbons are 6 years old they have to move to Australia really sad right .
