John Key resigns from being Prime Minister of New Zealand

WALT: Find an article and read on John Key resigning.

Today to start of the day we did some maths work. After maths we had to find an article from NZ Herald about why John Key had resigned. After we read the article we had to work on  why we think that John Key resigned and how this would affect New Zealand. We also had to state our opinion on why we think he's resigning. I found looking for an article challenging because there were so many articles that I could've chose to read but I only had to choose one. I chose the article that's about John Key resigning because of social media problems and family reasons. 

Thank you for reading!

Donald Trump dresses up as himself to a costume party

WALT: Reflect on what we read for SSR.

Today the article I chose to read for SSR was the article about Trump dressing up as himself at a costume party. The reason why I chose to read this article is because I don’t really read much article’s about costume parties and because it sounds interesting because Trump is dressing up just as himself. The thing that I found most challenging was trying to understand some of the words that were used in the article because I didn't know what some of them meant. Next time I hope to do better on trying to put sentences into my own words by also knowing what they mean.

Thank you for reading my work!

Boy Banned For Running In Bare feet

WAL: Reflect on what we read for SSR.

Today for SSR I chose an article from NZ Herald that's about a child that was

disqualified from participating in races because of running in barefoot. It is sad news to hear

that this child was not able to compete in the 80 sprint against others because of the rules of 

not aloud to run in barefoot. His name is Henry Patterson and his mother was not happy at all that

he was disqualified from racing. But as the rules were said he was not able to race in barefoot. In this article I learnt about not racing in barefoot because you could get disqualified and it's part of the rules in some school's. Next time I would like to read an article about health & wellbeing because I don’t really read that much about health and wellbeing. The thing that i found challenging was trying to understand why kids cannot race in barefoot because it is a normal thing for kids to race in barefoot.

Black Gold

WALA: The different events happening around the world. 

Today our teacher gave our whole class an article to read and reflect on about. The article that our teacher gave us is called Black Gold and is based on hair extensions. In this text our teacher has given our class an article and we have to read it and then reflect on it with the questions she has given us. I have learnt a lot of new things from this text about what happens in China with hair extensions. In part of this text I read that some men go around China looking for little girls with long hair to cut then they sell it other women who need hair. I found understanding words that I haven't heard before challenging for me because I don't really know what it means and what it is. From this text I enjoyed watching the video about how they cut girl's hair and how they make hair extensions.

Thank you reading please comment on my work!

On the Dawning of Realisation

WALT: reflect on what article we read.

Today I have chosen to read an article from NZ Herald from the section opinion. The article 

I chose is about an elderly lady who just realised that she loves her husband. From this text I learnt that

even though relationships has their ups and downs we can still make it through together. I know that

I have learnt something because my parent's relationship wasn't as tight as it is now because in the past

they had many arguments but now they don't argue anymore and even though they still have their ups and downs they still stay together. Next time I would like to read an article about business so I can learn about business for when i'm older.

Thank you for reading!

Scientists dive inside 'weird looking' Mars funnel for the first time

WALT: Reflect on the article we read for SSR.

Today for SSR I chose a article from the section Technology. I worked on this task together
with my buddy Irys. We picked this article because

We found it interesting and also because it's about the world and what's been happening on Mars. 

The thing I found challenging during my research about this article was trying to find out

how these things happen in the universe. I learnt new things about Dr. Levy during reading this text.

Next time I would like to read a article that talks more about the world.

Here is the link to the article: LINK

Thank you for reading please leave a comment on what I need to work on and what I have achieved or done well on!

The Big Earthquake in New Zealand

WALA: the earthquake in New Zealand.

Today I have been learning about the earthquake in New Zealand that's just recently happened.

I know that I learnt a lot about the earthquake because I read an article on NZ

Herald that's about the earthquake. This earthquake has caused many problems

to our country and many damages to our earth. John Key is trying his best to find a way of

stopping earthquakes happening in New Zealand.

Here's the link to the site I read LINK
