speech

Did you know that people did a survey and 78% of kiwi’s don’t want our flag to change?I believe we should not change our flag and by the end of this speech you should think the same! This is because all the money could go towards better things, not many people even want to change the flag and New Zealand is well known for the flag.

Key point 1

Firstly it will cost New Zealand too much money to change our flag. It will cost 25.7 million dollars just for the build up and then the whole thing will cost around 90 million dollars. I’m sure that we could use all of that money on better things like charity, maybe upgrading some building to make them safe if an earthquake hits, and some other things. Did you know that 26 million dollars could fund the entire kids can progame for eight years?It could also buy around 26 million free school lunches at an estimated $1 dollar each. Why are we spending the money on the flag when we could taking care of poor children?

Key point 2

It is certain that quite alot of people don’t actully want to change our flag. The RSA is trying to help not change the flag. There has also been some lack of interest because not many people have been showing up to the puplic meetings. And then there would be people who were born under the flag because some famous people like Billy T. Jones would basically just be fogotten. But if we don’t change the flag those people can be remembered forever.

Key point 3

NZ is well known for the flag.

NZ’rs would have fought under the flag and repersented it. For instance when we won the rugby world cup in 2011, everyone would have seen our flag waving around so they know what country we are. I’m also pretty sure that people who watch the olympics would know who we are based on our flag. This is because we have good athletes.

Conclusion

Overall we should not change the flag because it will cost way to much money, not many people want to change the flag and New Zealand is well known for the flag.

Science Investigation

We are starting to do some things with science because science week is coming up and so we have been on a website where we get to chose what we want to do and there is things to do with the solar system, shadows, wildlife and some parts of some things.

I chose to do a lesson called Light Being Reflected and so obviously it has to do with light and so I learnt how light rays reflect off surfaces and also how light rays travel from the sun to your eyes while looking at something.

My speech

The Three Massive Dinosaurs

For the birds

WALT:use better vocabulary (whispered instead of said, gigantic instead of big)

Once upon a time there was a little bird that was the size of your computer mouse and then another came and sat next to it and it had a massive yawn and it pushed the other one by accident then the other little bird got angry at him and so they started arguing and then another bird came and they started arguing and then all 15  birds were there and all arguing.

Then they all stop because they saw a bird that was watching them and the little birds started whispering jokes to each other about the other bird and then started laughing.Then the other bird came and sat in the middle and all the birds moved away from the other one.

Then the little birds poked the other bird and he fell down but he was still hanging on and then one of the little birds pecked at the other bird claws and it slipped of  and then he had an idea to peck at the other birds claws and so they did but then one of the little birds noticed that if he fell of they would go flying into the air and so he told the others and they started saying to the little birds that were happily trying to get the other bird off and they stopped but then?

They went flying into the air just like I said and all of there feathers came off  when they went up.So they all fell on the ground with the other bird sitting there and then he started laughing so hard that his head could pop open but he was okay.And so the birds grabbed a feather to cover them and then hid behind the bird.                    The End!!!!!!             
   

Term Two Reflection

Hi there I will now do the reflection!!!!!

1.I am most pleased with my maths because in my report it has said that I am at the standed and last year I was below the standed and the standed goes up each year so I have improved.

4.I feel that I need to get back on to my reading because at home I would do reading before I go to bed but I haven't been doing much of that so I need to start doing some more each night.

5. In term 3 I think we should learn about history because there is ALOT to learn about and sometimes it can be fun to learn about.

6.My favourite thing from the checklist is sqiggle story and squiggle story is were someone creates a sqiggle and then we have to draw a picture from the sqiggle and then write about it.

7. My personal goal will be trying to listen to what the teacher is saying so then I will know everything on what we need to do and will be ready to do it.
