Rugby Pitch Sizes Challenge

This week for maths another challenge was to answer questions on rugby pitch sizes. Some of the other questions were: What is the perimeter of a maximum size of rugby pitch? And, what is the area of a maximum size rugby pitch? After finishing all of the other questions, my group needed to create a DLO on how we found our answer.

Rugby Advertisement

This week for writing, we were making Advertisement for Rugby. We had 2 choices, to either make a video or make a poster. We first planned to make a video, but as time sped up we chose to make a poster. We also chose to use a Rugby Ball as our advertisement. We tried to use some qualities that advertisement had so that it is really relatable. 

Rugby World Cup

This week for maths our theme was rugby world cup. We had seven question to do, our first question was about what is the different in seating capacity between the largest and the smallest stadiums in Japan. After we were done doing the seven question we made a DLO about one of the question we did.       

Current Events

This week for reading Alex, Joseph, Jack, Julian and I worked together to fill out a google map with international events. We needed to search through different news websites to find stories that fit the current event criteria. Our story for oddity is twin pandas being born in Belgium and for impact, bush fires.

Pop-up globe

On Friday we were visited by the pop-up globe workers. They gave us information about William Shakespeare which was interesting. William Shakespeare would always try to make his sentence rhyme. The fourth wall is when the narrator includes the audience. One of Williams Shakespeare acts called Macbeth was extremely cursed. In William Shakespeare's tragedy acts, there is always a death.

Duffy Role Model Assembly

Today was Duffy role model assembly. We had a spacial guest that came to our school his name is Jamie Wall, he was the author who wrote bother In black. He came to talk us about how men in black book, about NZ rugby history inspired him to became a sports commentator. I hope he get a safe trip to the world cup in japan to report the rugby for Maori television.

A provocation is an action or a speech that triggers strong feeling about a topic. Recently a major supermarket chain a announced it will no longer sell energy drinks to people under the age of 16. My opinion is recorded in my DLO that show both perspectives what is your opinion and why? 

Exploring our national current events

News editors make decisions everyday about which current events stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in NZ,thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google maps.

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic?

65,000 thousand plastic straws have been collected for over 10 years in New Zealand beaches. Did you also know that there about 437 million - 8.3 billion plastic straws in the Ocean. Hi my name is Aung Naing and I think that we should ban plastic straws. Plastic straws are a harm to sea creatures. Its unusual why people throw away plastic straws.

My reason for talking about this is because there are so many plastic straws that are made every day. I feel like we need to change our actions because there are a lot of plastic straws that have been thrown on the ground every single day. After you finish throwing your plastic straw on the ground it could go out to sea and letting the sea turtle eating it or getting it stuck up their nose.

We should remove plastic straws and add paper straws or use other material instead of plastic. It is because paper straw can dissolve but plastic straw are harder to dissolve or break down, it is because it takes 500 year to break down. There are different materials we can use like metal, you can carry it with you and you can keep reusing it, but plastic straws are not that useful, it is because it can bend easily.

Did you know that there are about 500 million plastic straws are used every single day. Wow! I think that there are a lot of plastic straws that are used every day. Well some shops are to be blamed, Mc Donald, Burger King and KFC sell free Plastic Straws.

This is why I would not suck, it is because it is harming the marine animals, out of curiosity, have you ever seen people taking a plastic straw out of a sea turtle nose before.
