Sadness has Erupted

At 28 August a Sumatran Tiger has died in the Wellington zoo. It was devastating news. The tigers name was Cantik. Cantik means beautiful. Cantik came from Burger zoo in the Netherlands. Cantik died from severe arthritis. The tiger was 21 when she died. Cantic had 20 cubs. The cubs were delivered to Australasia. Australasia means New Zealand and Australia combined. Cantik spend a full life at the zoo. But with other tigers, they spend 10 years in the wild.

The Sumatran tigers are the only kind of tigers on earth. They are endangered. There are a few 100 left in the wild. Tigers false

90% of hunting their prey. The cubs stay with the mother and the father goes out to hunt. The cubs never have contact to their father. Every tigers stripes are different.

Peter Jackson

Peter Jackson

My inspirational person is Peter Jackson because he left school when he was 16 to be a full-time worker for the photo-engraver for the local newspaper. He worked there for 7 years. He shared the Academy Award for the best original screenplay with his partner Fran Walsh for the movie Heavenly creatures. When Peter was small he was a movie fan. Jacksons mum bought Peter a super 8 cine-camera. After that he has made short movies with his friends. He was interviewed by the Avatar and the Titanic director James Cameron. He challenged himself and he stays focus on making movies.

Peter Jackson was inspired by the movie King Kong when he was twelve. He has been making short movies ever scents. Jackson has made more than 10 movies. Jackson has made action movies, adventure movies, horror movies and funny movies.

I have watch movies that you directed and I love it. I wish I could learn some tips of making short films. I was inspired by Peter Jackson because he had made lots of movies and he has made short movies more than me. I was also inspired from him because he has made movies when he was my age and that will really help me improve making movies.   

Pizza game

   

In my group our Walt was to solve division problems that have fractional answers. In this you have to see how many tips you have. On the three pictures the first pictures it says that I have made $9.52, on the the second picture I have made $24.04 and in the last picture I made $30.68. In total I made $64.24. I found this game hard because I keep on giving the wrong pizza to the wrong person. I like this game because it is challenging me to more money.  

Bad skin day

Walt: write a story with a theme.

Bad skin day

Once upon a time on a beautiful sunshiny day Jack went with his family to the beach to have a swim and a picnic. They were looking for a space to have the picnic. They didn't find a picnic spot any where. “Why can’t we spread the tablecloth on the sand”, said Jack.

As soon as the family finished their picnic they went of to have a swim in the clear blue sea. “ Put the sunscreen on guys”, said mum. “I don’t need sunscreen for my skin because I'm a big boy”, said Jack. “ But I'm bigger than you and I'm using sunscreen”, said mum. “ OK” said Jack. “ I’ll get my own sunscreen from the car”, said Jack. But when Jack went and got the sunscreen, he grabbed the fly spray instead. He sprayed all over his body and he made a ugly face. “ This smells like hmm, what is it again, who cares I just want to go for a swim”, said Jack. He tossed the the fly spray in the car and zoomed to the water. But on the can, on the cushion sign and it said that the spray is not allowed in water.

Jack dived in the water and he was playing in it. But after few minutes the family had to go home. The family was calling out to Jack. Jack came out and he looked horrifying. All of the people from the beach screamed and they were panicking. The family wasn't scared. They took Jack to the doctor. The doctor said that he had fly spray id-us. “ To turn him back you have to spray him with sunscreen”, said the doctor. after three days Jack was back.

The theme is to take care of your skin.

Basketball

Dribble dribble dribble

Stop!

Look at the time

Bouncing the ball is not a crime

Three pointer, slam dunk

That's it

Our opponent has sunk

Block it protect it

keep it up

They're starting to quit

The opponent get the ball and it is bouncing

Hurry up guy lets start pouncing

The crowd goes wild

The coach smiled

The whistle goes its a foul

Keep your eye on the ball like an owl

Were on fire

Were going to win

But were not a lire   

We won

Some dad said

That it my son

We have the price

If you try and beat us

Watch out we are wise.

Prevention is better than Cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

Prevention is better than Cure

On 6 August, the whole school of Glen Innes school went to the hall to talk about Rheumatic fever. It was a special assembly. Dr Alison Leversha from Star ship Hospital came to us. It took 25 minutes. Three Warriors players and an X Warrior player came to us to interest us to take care of you throat. The three Vodafone Warriors showed us when a doctor comes in a class and say who has a sore throat you will get a swab by a nurse. I thought the Vodafone Warriors was going to talk about Rheumatic fever, but they didn’t.

Awen Guttenbeil talked to us when he had Rheumatic fever. He played for the Kiwi league team and the Tongan league team. He told us that Rheumatic fever could lead us to death. He never told his mum or dad that he had a sore throat. He told us that on the day the athletics he couldn’t get out of bed. He had saw joints. He dragged himself through the hallway to tell his mum or dad that he has a terrible problem. Awen’s mum and dad took Awen straight to the hospital.  After 2 months the doctor told the mum and dad that Awen has Rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever starts from a sore throat.

In conclusion I think that I should take care of my throat. Sore throats leads to Rheumatic fever and that could lead to death.

Addition and subtraction of fractions

The walt for my group was to add and subtract fractions with related denominators. The answer for the question on the picture is C,2. I got the answer quickly because double of 9 is 18 and 8 plus 10 is 18. The denominator is 9 and the numerator is 18. So it will look like this, 18/9. That is an improper fraction. 18/9 is equal to 2. Thats how I got the answer.  I found this easy because we revising the things that we did last term.

Moneywise

Walt: write a response to the talk by Evan.

Moneywise

I thought that being moneywise will get a better life. You need money to live in the future. I got to say that I’m OK with money. It is because when I get money I spend more on me and a little to save. Evan came to my school to talk to us about being moneywise. He was from the ASB bank. He told us to spend some on you and save some to. He was pretty funny. Evan told us about his childhood. He wanted something like the playstation but it cost $279. He told us about earning money. And then by the end of the year he got enough to the thing that he wants. I got experience from Evan about money. Now I know how to spend some on you and save some to.

Mixed Numbers

This week  we are revising fractions. The answer to the question at the top is 2 2/5. I got the answer because there are 2 full pentagons and there is 2/5 of a pentagon. In a improper fraction it is 12/5 but in a mix number it is 2 2/5. I found this easy and nothing was hard.     

Raggle-Taggle Chook
