When we arrived behind the field, Anna, Carl and Paul were waiting. We sat down on the grass. First Anna told us why we plant trees and the first reason is that if it rains on the slope and the dirt will get washed away and this called erosion. The second reason she told us is that trees give us oxygen. The last reason she told us is that there is a lot of wild lives and animals live in the trees we plant trees we will give them a habitats.    

Then Paul and Carl told us how to plant trees. they told us our first step is to get a spade and dig the soil on the slope by the fence. the second step is to put the plant in and check the hole. the third step is to get a fertilizer pellet and put it in the hole. The last step is to get the soil that we dug out and put it in the hole and fill it and give it a stamp. Paul also told us the types of trees that we were planting, we planted Toitoi, Flax, Cabbage tree and two other trees.

After that, I got into partners with Mandy and we followed the instructions to plant. We didn't have much time to plant the time flew by and we need to wash our hands and go back to class.

My Speech for 2015

Why you should brush your teeth 1-3 times a day 

Do you know there are already hundreds of people who have bad teeth today? Well lets get on to my speech. Hi I’m Norah and I ‘m going to tell you 1? 2? No! 3 reasons about why you should brush your teeth 1-3 times a day.

My first reason is that your month is one of the primary parts of entry into your body. Food, bacteria, almost everything inside of you passed through it at one point to another. This means that when something as critical as your mouth becomes infested with harmful bacteria will cause gingivitis or periodontists, it will inevitably affect the rest of you body.

My second reason is if you don’t brush your teeth you‘ll probably lose your teeth, brushing 1-3 can potentially save you much than a couple cheap pair of dentures.

My third reason is if you don’t brush your teeth, your teeth will bleed, if you teeth are bleeding and your mouth is overflowing with plaque and bacteria, it will eventually make its way into your bloodstream. Unfortunately this means that it will eventually pass through your heart, and plaque your heart is never a good thing.

In conclusion, as I said at the beginning that there are already hundreds of people who have bad teeth and we don’t want more people having bad teeth we don’t want more. Even you are lazy to brush your teeth well you have heard my 3 reasons why.Thank You for listening to my speech!!!

I have been learning to summarise information.  I summarised an article from Kiwi Kids News.  I found this tricky because I don't know how to put the article in my own words.  My next step is to do more these activities.

Addition and subtraction strategies

My Reflection

I am learning different strategies to solve addition and subtraction problem. I learnt Place Value partitioning and Rounding and compensating. I found both strategies easy because I used my basic facts. I prefer Place Value Partitioning because it is always good even large numbers. I stuck at the Place value Partitioning S.C but then I got it. I enjoyed creating the slideshow.

Term 2 Week 2

Last week, on Friday we made Anzac biscuits.We put rolled oats, butter, sugar and soda in a bowl and then we made in dough after that we made the dough into biscuit shape and then we put them in the oven. First I looked it but the colour is not very. But when I have tasted it was delicious, crunchy and tender. It does not feel like a Anzac biscuit but it was yummy.

I am going to war

Sitting on the side of the ship, saying goodbye as I went, staring at the crowds of people gathered to see us of... I AM GOING TO WAR!!! There is thousands of people sitting on the side of the ship, it was claustrophobic, and the oil smelt oily, my legs are dangling over the side, but I was exited. BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!! The horn beeps. I will always remember this moment. "We are off to Gallipoli, yeah!!!" I shouted. Many people was nervous but I didn't, and many people was shouting goodbye but I didn't. Crowds people was sad they were worried. My mum cried.
