In class we are learning to describe.
I enjoyed writting it.
I found including a simile hard.
I heard a knock on the door. People started coming in and the sleepover started. Isabelle was the first to go to sleep, the rest of us, India, Catalina and I stayed up till 1:00. We were pretty tired, but the whole time we were trying to wake Isabelle up. Catalina even said, "I dream of magical dreams" in her ear. That was funny. Eventually we went to sleep.
When we woke up Catalina felt something on her leg. "What was it?" we all said. Then out of the depths came a cockroach. It was as big as an elephant. We all started screaming so loud we woke Isabelle up. She got the cockroach but the look on her face was priceless.
Make up!!! We ran up the stairs, woke up my sister and and we all put make up on even Isabelle put some on and that is a once in a life time. We put blush, foundation, mascara and lipstick on. We were super models.
Running down stairs to have a dance party, we danced like nobody was watching. Also we played "try not to sing." India and I were always out.

2019 Speech
This week we presented our speeches to the class.
I felt so nervous I was shaking.
We had to include our pepeha a rhetorical question and be persuasive.
We had to use a clear voice, stand still, speak loudly, go at our own pace, look up at the crowd, use expression and be confident.
My speech was about Orcas (Killer Whales).
Here it is...
Tihei Mauri ora
Ko Pepeha ki ahau
Ko Ben Nevis Te maunga
Ko Loch Morar Te awa
Ko southern cross Te waka
Ko ST Mary’s star of the sea Te marae
No Turanga-nui-a-kiwa ahau
Ko Hato Maria toku kura
Ko Charlotte ahau
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Would you like to be stuck in a tank your whole life? Well some Orcas are, and today I am going to tell you some facts about orcas. But first I have to tell you a story about an Orca called Tillikam.
To train Tillikam they would put him in a tank with another trained whale, and if Tillikam didn’t do his tricks properly both whale’s wouldn’d get feed, so the other whale would beat Tillikam and Tillikam would have scratches all over him.
In captivity female Orcas live up to 29 years of age male Orcas live up to 17. In the wild male Orcas live up to 20 to 60 years of age and female Orcas 80 to over 100. Wow isn’t that such a difference.
Orcas weigh up to 6 tons and grow to twenty3 to thirty2 feet, that is almost as long as a school bus, imagine seeing one of those up close. Even though Orcas can also be called Killer Whales they are actually part of the Dolphin family. Because of their large size and huge power, Orcas are very fast swimmers and have been recorded at speeds of up to 54km/h.
Nobody really knows where the name Killer Whales came from. Some people think that they were called ‘Killers of Whales’ by whalers in the past, and the name became ‘Killer Whales’ over time, and in Latin Orca actually means Killer Whale. Do Orcas have predators You might ask? Well actually they don't have predators, because they are at the very top of the food chain. Okay, are you getting kind of scared now I know I am, but don’t worry the only time Orcas have killed people are when there in captivity like Tillikam saddly he killed 3 people 2 of them trainers. This wouldn't have happened if he wasn’t in captivity.

Sploosh
We are learning to persuade by makeing advertisements.
I enjoy designing the advertisements.
I found getting everything to fit hard.
Climate change should be stopped!!
In class we are learning to structure writing.
I enjoyed finding out the facts about climate change.
I found voice typing hard because it wasn't typing the words I was saying.
Another cause of climate change is the use of fossil fuels such as oil, diesel, petrol and coal. It releases too much hot air, and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
A result of climate change is the glaciers and the ice caps are melting. Sea levels are rising and lowlands are flooding. Ocean’s are getting warmer and this can affect some fish.
In conclusion I believe that we have to do something about climate change. It is important to stop all the fires in the Amazon rainforest. We could also change from petrol and diesel cars to electric cars. Otherwise there will be too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so please help stop climate change.

What is climate change and what is it doing to our planet?
Climate change is different from global warming. Global warming is the world getting warmer. Climate change is more sun, rain, wind and snow.
One of the main reasons is the burning of the Amazon rainforest. It covers most of Brazil and you can see the smoke from space. The rainforest is also known as the Earth's lungs, because it produces 20% of the Earth's oxygen, and it has millions of animals.
