Rugby League

We did rugby league and it was so fun. Turanga Health teachers Luke and Riched, come in to our school and teach us to play rugby league. It's fun to be active, it is fun to be outside. It helps us keep healthy.

We start with warm ups and a fun game like Capture The Flag. Then get into the game. We are learning how to side step people. It will help us in games like rugby and some other sports. We are also learning how to pass to people which will help us in other sports.

R.E Rap

This is my R.E Rap.

I was learning about the 3 sacraments of initiation.

I found it difficult to put the video onto my blog because I didn't know how to.

Next time I would change how I rapped because I think it was a bit like how I talk.

I enjoyed working in a team because it was fun.

 

Is Farming Really Bad For The Environment.

Have you ever wondered about farming and does it help the environment? I strongly believe that we can do better to help the world and also farm carefully. Farms help provide food for people in many different ways so they really help the world as well, but they do pollute the rivers with all the animal waste being washed down into the rivers by the rain. We should be able to think of a better way of farming and helping the environment. 

Firstly, I strongly believe that farms are a great way to provide food, you can get fruit, meat and veggies. You could live mostly off a farm and you would save a lot of money. I would think that all the fruit you get is from an orchard with oranges and apples. If you sit down at the table with a delicious piece of steak in front of you it probably would have come from a farm. So farms can produce huge amounts of food.

Secondly, I absolutely know the rain water washes the farm waste down into the river. So it is hurting the environment. Which a lot of people do not like so they are not so sure on this farming idea. I believe that we can change this and we can make a change by planting plants. It helps the environment if we plant trees next to rivers, they filter the animal waste. 

Lasty I personally know that the waste from farms gets washed down into the river by the rain water. It is not very good for the environment. Without a doubt I like farming, so I personally think there is and will be a way to fix that problem. Maybe we can plant trees next to the river? That will help!

In conclusion, you can all see that farms help people to get food but the waste is getting washed into the rivers, we can help the problem by planting trees on the river bed. There is no question that we can still farm but we just need to think of a better way to help the environment.

What have I done well?	I have 1. I have used emotive language. 2. I have a rhetorical question in my speech.
Next step:	I need 1. I need to use repetition. 2. I need to use a hook in my speech.

This is my speech for 2020.

I was learning how to use emotive language and a rhetorical question.

I found it difficult to use my emotive language because I could not find places to put emotive language.

Next time I would use a better hook and to use more repetition because it will help my speech.

I enjoyed writing my speech because it was my fist time writing a speech in St Mary's School.
