My Hunger Of Food

              

 

          They looked at me with eyes hungry as sin. 

They all ate my starving eyes, and they hungrily swallowed me all. Yummy that was so good! I want to have it again.

WALT Read Fluently

We are learning to read fluently. We have spent time looking at phrasing - how we say words together. Having expression in our voices is important too!

Listen to audio recording. We did this to practice fluency and to hear ourselves.

I think I sounded like I wasn't fluent  because I feel like I  didn't have any expression in my voice. I’m good at using an different charter that cause I try and put expression in my voice. I need to work on my timing because I kept on making mistakes.  

Teachers Strike

This Wednesday all the  New Zealand teachers are going on strike.  One reason why they are going on strike is the need more  time to teach the students .They have in their classes Because they spend a lot of  time doing the student’s assessment but doesn't have time to teach. These things are very good but it’s hard for one teacher with thirty kids.

The second thing that the teachers want is more resources for  additional needs to help the students that need help. Because when the students doesn't have enough resources than what are we gonna do to help them?.  And the school’s need more teachers because one teacher can’t take care of thirty student’s.

The last thing that the teachers want is to have better pay because they always stay more than how long they have to stay at school for. Also to because they do two things at a time because they do teach and they write their reports to give to the students parents. So thats all of the reasons why all the teachers in New Zealand are on strike. Also Dliz and I agree with the teachers because they have good reasons why. We wish the teachers good luck.   

Ned Kindness Adventure Show 2018

Today on the 6th of August we had someone from kindness adventure came to show us some ways to be kind.

Cosmo and Ned were talking about how being different can be good by trying new things that you don't really like but when you try new things you are introducing yourself to new things that you’ve new been around. So it’s always good to be different.

Another think that Cosmo and Ned were talking about was that being kind is cool because when you are kind to other people you are showing other people how to be kind. Also you are showing them how kind you are to everyone when you are being kind.They were encouraging us to always be kind and no matter what just be nice and kind to them.

The third thing that Cosmo and Ned were talking about was to be a person that includes everyone in the group. Including others is about when someone is alone go and ask then if they want to join you and your friends. That also means that  you should always be a kind and caring person.

So that's the things that Cosmo and Ned were talking about and they were very nice and entertaining to watch act out the things they did in Kenya with the students in Kenya and in Kenya they don't even have clean water like we do so they were selling treasure from Kenya and who every buys one of the treasures the money will go to Kenya to make wiles for them to have clean water to drink, clean there close and to clean themselves.

So that's what they were talking about when they came to pt england school.
