Is Reading Important?

Is Reading Important

?

Reading is an important subject you have learn in level one. When you apply for a job and when you have just started, if your job was to be an author that would actually be difficult for you. When you wanna read other people’s books where you wanna find sophisticated words, or some sentences that would encourage you to make your story to maybe look like that. When your book entertains people.

Reading is important in people’s lives. Reading helps you wherever you go, if people thinks reading is just some boring subject you learn in school NO IT’S NOT. Reading helps you everywhere, there is no place on earth that you can’t see words all around, without words in the world nobody can’t speak in English, their language, or in an way they manage to try speak in.

If you think reading is just some boring subject, maybe you think that. But to others people that wanna head university some think’s it’s a challenge you maybe versing. It could be a major problem where there is all people in the room who wants to go to uni that they can read when you're still ?.

Reading a book everyday it shows how good your level is. If you started in level one down the ladder you read, read, and read until you reach the top of your goal. If you read in the holidays, weekends, or public holidays you’re upgrading your reading skills to a better level. When you see books and you read them that’s a smart thinking which you can learn some new words.

Repeating Ads and Programs

LI:write a persuasive piece of writing using ethos. pathos, and logos.

Repeating Ads and Programs

Watching the same program over and over is sick. Instead of watching that I’m very sure you can change each program to a new one every single day. It’s always on when I come back home from school.

Firstly,  we never have a break from seeing the same faces on television, watching ads on tv makes me bored because it’s always about dishwashers,  hand soap, best houses, and conditioners. The program that should be on every time is the news. So everybody can see what’s happening around the world. It should show the sick people so it can have everybody's attention to raise money up for the people in need. To help the sick, the poor, and everybody out there needs help.

Secondly, it should show everything that's important in our lives.

It should show schools that needs help with their education, their uniform, programs in school, and about their learning. So all schools can see what’s happening so they could fundraise for those schools.

Lastly, Some ads are unbelievable over the limit using unacceptable languages and using violence in their acting. Ads should show participation of people finding new lives.

I hope each programs and ads changes to make people happy. Watching new programs and ads will make me overjoyed seeing new faces on television.

Camp

In room 8 we are learning about this because when it comes to camp you could see what you wrote down and have more confident in yourself and what you gotta do.

At Camp

Today our class we were given a task to work together to product which place they will be going to. We rolled the dice six times but unfortunately we didn't get high numbers but only high number we got was 4. Lake Waihonu is the place they are gonna be going to because it's the highest and Marama Island, and Mount Albert were a tie with the same numbers.

Trust Challenge

Today as a class we were given a task to do. The task we were given was based on camp as we were told several times. We were given numbers 1 & 2, number two was told to put their right hand on their partners shoulders. Number one was told to walk and guide them, down to the front gate of the school.This challenge we faced was an extraordinary hard for two people as a team because it was very difficult in different ways of trusting your own partner. It was very difficult for me to walk with my eyes close. But my partners instructions were loudly said, I could hear him clearly. I followed what he said. We made it carefully to the front gate. When we accomplished the task, my teacher called us over the number 2’s. When the teacher reversed what she had said in the classroom she said what we can do anything we like but not aloud to go to the unrestricted areas I felt excited by tricking my partner and making it back to the class safely. When we made it back to the classroom we were told to make a maze, we didn’t know we could mess up the class by throwing the chairs around and move all desk’s around the classroom. There were two people chosen two face the board one was picked to give instructions and one was picked to close their eyes. When that was done the teacher kept on spinning the close eyes person. It was hard for him to know where to go with the instruction person. The one with the close eyes had to walk and their other partner had to give instructions while standing at the board.

Pentecost

In room 8 we are learning about Pentecost it's about when the disciples/followers of Jesus they were in a small little room. They were afraid because how they crucified the Messiah and they got scared that it might happen to them.

Tripod

Yesterday in the afternoon with out knowing we zoomed right into our work. We were going to make a construction of tripods. We were given materials and these were: 1m string and 3 short/long sticks. We were expected to make a tripod before school ended. She said we could have a partner to work with. I saw Elaine she was right next to me. I was confused with how to make the the tripod the same as her. I asked her if she wanted to work cooperatively. She replied "yeah sure." So Elaine and I shared our ideas about how we could make a tripod. We made our tripod using long sticks and 2 1m lengths of string. When we'd finished our tripod, we made it stand, but Elaine and I weren't that confident with our tripod because it wasn't standing still. We were lucky enough that we had one more string left. Mrs Dines said " 5 minutes left." I had a shock on my face so I rushed to complete our tripod and we finished. We stood it up it just made me proud because our tripod was standing.

Pentecost

Hi my name is Ofa I'm in room 2. My class came over to room 8. Because our teacher went somewhere. We are doing Doves because it's Pentecost and we had to use the three colors, and that was yellow, orange, and red. This is my dove I made myself and I had to blend it in to make it look nice.

Touch

Touch

At morning tea time, Kolio, Caesar, Giovanni, Isaac, Johnny, and I, played touch in the bottom court, while the girls played basket ball. Before we played we had to make a decision about who was on  which is teams. So on the left side of the court was Isaac, Kolio, and Johnny.

On the other side of the court was where I was with  my teammates Giovanni and Caesar.   We played for the whole morning tea.  We were puffed  out at  the end of that break.

The other team (Kolio’s team) they tried hard to get tries. We tried to play good but they were just too good with their low kicks, their high kicks, their back passes, and their offloads!

We tried out their skills and then it worked.  Then we all got a run away try. Then it was their kick off.  Isaac kicked the ball,  it was like they were counting on me cause I was standing on the try area

If I missed that ball, It will have to be a kick from our side.

The ball was flying in the air as soon it was falling back down, it was just fell  right into my arms.

I said to myself “I knew it I could do it.” Once I caught the ball I taped it on my knee and then tried to run to get in front of Caesar so I could  pass it to him. Unfortunately, you can’t pass the ball when your own player is asking for it, if he is in front of you because that makes it a That forward pass and then you have to pass the ball to the other team - it’s called a  hand over.  

Our game ended when the bell rang. I had a lot of fun.
