Freestyle Writing Based On A Image

IALT:Freestyle write about an image

Hey guys so Today Mrs Komor asked us to write a story about a picture. This is I wrote. Tell me what you think in the comment section below.

MY STORY - The wind rushed through her hair as she descended the mountain at great speed. For most children this would be exhilarating, even terrifying experience, but for Lucy it was just an ordinary journey to school.

She lived on top of the mountain and her house was a small castle Lucy lived with her mum and older brother when she was 5 years old her dad died in a plane crash.

She went to a all girls school called zipline school for girls.

This school is different from mine because we do not have a zipline and we do not get to wear mutfi everyday.

Lucy felt amazing when she went down the zipline at first she was shy but her dad always said before he passed away was to always believe in yourself and you can do anything.

Debating/Writing Reflection

IALT:reflect on writing

Hey guys so today at school in the middle block we had writing on statement argument basically debating so we had to debate on 3 statements.

the first statement was should it be compulsory to learn Te Reo and my thought was yes because it is the national language in New Zealand.

The next statement was should you be driving by the age of 10 and my thought was no because they are not mature enough  and at age of 10 that is still a child so that child should learn how ride a bike before you learn how to ride to a car. 

The last statement was should there be no school rules and my thought no because of there is no rules then there will be violence and tagging on the wall also there will be no learning.

So yeah you are welcome to leave a comment and have a great night sleep.

Reading Reflection (New Zealand Environment/Native Bush)

IALT:reflect on reading

Hey guys so today in the middle block we did reading and it was about the environment of New Zealand and native bushes and we had answer question based on the topic.

Question 1 -What sorts of animals do we have in New Zealand? - Animals that we have in New Zealand are Kiwis, Kea, Bat, Hector's Dolphin and many more.

Question 2 - What do we mean by the native bush? - Like bushes from forests and woodland and the bushes that have been here for a long time.

Question 3 - Is it important to look after the bush? If so, whose responsibility is it? - It is important to take care of our bushes because we need to breath air and to see and enjoy nature.

Question 4 - Which animal species were introduced to New Zealand? - They were Possums, Stoats, Deers and Goats.

Question 5 - Why were they brought here? - It was because there were less animals in New Zealand so they bring some other animals but it just made worse.

Question 6 - When did the damage begin? - it began when pests like rats destroyed our native New Zealand bush.

Question 7 -Why are stoats especially dangerous? - Stoats are hard to get because they are very suspicious and fast also they are very careful and clever.

Question 8 - Do we value some animals more than others? If so, why is that? - It is because they are different but some are the same so we can value them the most as the same and also differently.

So yeah you are welcome to leave a comment and have a great night sleep.

My Critical Analysis Of Still Images (Parkour In A War Zone)

IALT:analysis of a image

Hey guys so Thursday in the middle block we were learning about critical analysis with a still image and we had to write about 1 of the 3 images and the answer the question that my teacher gave us.

Question 1 - Who Took The Photo - The person who took this photo was Mohammed Salem who is a Palestinian Photographer who comes from Gaza City.

Question 2 - How Is The Subject Represented In The Photo -  It was presented by telling that people are having fun at the war zone by doing parkour.

Question 3 - What Kinds Of Messages Are Being Conveyed - I think the message that they are trying to show here is to have fun just because you are in a place were a lot bad things happen and you can fill that place with some love and fun.

Question 4 - How Do Different Parts Of The Image Contribute To These Images -  I think part of this image means to have fun when the bad things are not happening and also to take care of the place that you are at.

Question 5 - What If The Photo Was Taken From A Different Angle Or Cropped Differently - It would look at his backside or frontside and the kid at the background will be on the side of the photo or just not in the photo at all.

Question 6 -  Who Might The Intended Audience Be - I think the people who loves parkour and  shooting game like for example black ops would love to see this photo and probably try to do the same thing.

Question 7 (Last Question) - How Might Different Groups Of People Respond To The Image - I think the people would respond positively and kind of concern because you having fun but it his at a place where bad things can happen anytime.

What Is Technology (Inquiry Reflection)

WALT:reflect on inquiry

Hey guys so this morning we started school with inquiry so we had sit in a group and talk about technology that we use at home.

Mrs Komor then ask us what type of technology that we use at home I had said the water hose because you use the tap from outside to turn it on and use to water your garden or fill up our pool. 

We then had to find a definition of technology so we had to talk to our groups again to find a definition and one of my group mates Demetrius said something that uses electricity.

We watch a video on what is technology and the definition that was there that we can understand and it's more easier. 

So the definition of technology that we got from the video is things that created by humans that makes life more easier.

 Also it is not only about electronic things it is also about things that made without electronic like a chair to sit on or a table to put your food on to eat.

Mrs Komor then asked if we wanted to change our definition and change it to something that is used for a purpose then we cleared the circle and sat in a big circle and learn the different types of technology.

So the first one is constructional technology so the stuff that is used to build staff like hammer, screwdriver, chainsaw, bulldozer and many more.

The second thing is medical technology that is type of stuff that the doctors use to check up on you like a stethoscope, reflex hammer, pulse oximeter, tongue depressors and many more.

The third one is transportation technology that things that is used to get you from one place to another like a bus, train, car, plane, ferry, taxi (uber) and many more.

I felt great after that because I learnt a lot from that lesson and one thing that I learnt from this is technology is not all about electronic things.

So yeah you are welcome to leave a comment and have a great day and night.
