Speeches

This week we presented our speeches in room one

I felt nervous I was shaking the hole time.

We had to include our pepeha, use a clear voice,stand still,

   speak loudly,go at your own pace,look up at the crowd,

 use expression and be confident.

our speeches needed to include a rhetorical question, 
 and be persuasive.My speech was on Climate change.
You can see this on my previous post. 
here's my pepeha...

Tihei Mauri ora (let there be life)
Ko pepeha ki ahau
Ko Titirangi Te maunga  (my mountain is)
Ko Waimata  Te awa (my river is)
Ko Horouta Te waka  (my waka (boat/plane) is)
Ko St Marys star of the sea Te marae (my meeting house is)
No Turanga-nui-a-kiwa ahau  (I am from e.g No Gisborne ahau)
Ko Hato Maria toku kura (my school is)
Ko Joan ahau (I am)
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
                                                                                              

Climate Change

In room 1 we have been learning about Climate change 

I enjoyed writing it.

I found it challenging to finish it on time.

Climate Change 

 We have all heard of it but what is climate change and what is it doing to our planet? Climate change is Move of sun,rain,wind, and snow.

One of the main  reasons is that the Amazon rainforest is Burning Down.It covers most of Brazil.

The Amazon rainforest is also known as earth's lungs because it holds 20% of oxygen for the Earth. 

Another very important reason is that glaciers are melting sea levels are rising which floods lowland and  sea Temperature is getting warmer.

Sea life cannot survive in warm water.

Fossil fuels are also affecting climate change. Such as coal, fuel, petrol, and oil. When these fossil fuels and many more get 

burnt they release carbon dioxide and other gases. When people use petrol cars all of those gases and fumes go into the ocean and sea life die.

In conclusion I believe that you should try to stop climate change because of all the fossil fuels being released the glaciers that are melting and the wildfires in the Amazon rainforest.

Winter

In Room 1 we have been doing descriptive writing. I chose to write about Winter. I enjoyed describing the mountains. I found it hard to find the right words to use.                                                                                    

Outside, frosty frozen branches waved around in the air. Clouds covered the tip of the mountains  that were snowy cold and numbing my feet. The silent sky was still and calm. As I ran inside I could still see the frosty frozen branches  blowing in the air.
