Prevention is better than cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the Public Health Dept.

At our school we had special guests, doctors and the Vodafone Warriors. They were talking about rheumatic fever and  about how  to clean, cut, cover, and wash so the germs will go away and do not come into your skin. A doctor told us what  they do when you get a sore throat. She showed  how to take a swab of a thoat. A Vodafone Warrior was used to demonstrate. He was told to say ahh and to put your tongue out.

After that another special guest talk to us about living with rheumatic fever and his name was Awen Guttenbeil. He was talking about his experience with rheumatic fever. He said to us that he loved playing sport and said when he had a sore throat he was trying to be the big guy and try to not tell his mum or dad about it. Then one day he felt like he was paralyzed because he couldn't move.

His mum and dad took him to the doctor and then the doctor told them to go to the hospital. He had to take a injection for 10 years and stayed in the hospital for a few months. His story was really inspirational. After his story it was finished we went outside and got  autographs and took some photos. But I think the main message is if you get a sore throat you have to tell someone straight away.

 

  

Rap/poem

I'm the youngest in my team
because I play for Miami Heat
I'm nervous but proud because
everybody shouts and cheers
Then the hooter goes off
I shiver with fear.


I'm on the starting five
Then I run on to the court
two go for the jump throw
And then we are off
we get the ball I'm happy in my head
Then they pass me the ball
My eyes turn bright red

I dodge one person with my under leg
I'm unstoppable everyone thinks
Then I think to myself I'm the basketball king.
I make it to the hoop and shoot a three pointer
The buzzer goes off
It's the final quarter.

Were down by two and there's 10 seconds left.
They give the ball
I head straight to the net.
I jump in the air and do a slam dunk
I stay there for a while and then I jump off.

The people go wild they want to see it again.
But  it's the end off the game.
 

Netball poem

Walt : Make a poem

Never give up.

Everyone try your best.

Try and get the ball and shoot it in.

Bring it in the centre and start again then.

Attack the ball and win again.

Losing is really hard to take. But

Love to have fun.

Action Fraction

Walt: Add and subtract fractions with related denominators

In this game I am learning how to add and subtract fractions. In this game you have to click on the right answer so you racecar can go fast and win the race. It gets harder and harder. The answer for this equation is 17/20. My strategy was to first add the two top numbers. and that's how I got my answer 17/20.    

Fractions/ Basic facts.

In this game you have to figure out how many pentagons can you see but in a mixed fraction. My answer is 2 and 2/5 because I counted the first two pentagons that had all of the five pieces to make the pentagon. Then counted the last to and then I figured out that it was 2 and 2/5.

Walt: Write a response to the talk by Evan

On Wednesday 31 of July  we had a special guest called Evan. He was from ASB and was talking to us about how to be good with money. Evan was really interesting to talk to Because he was really fun to. He has taught me a lot of ways how to spend your money. his saying is spend some on you but save some too. I think the experience was really fantastic. I would like to do it again    

Ragge-Taggle chook

Walt: Retell story.

One day after a flood a girl named Robin found a chook that had been following the flood. All of its feathers were gone. The chook looked like a raggle-taggle chook. Robin went to go and show her mum when the mum looked at the chook she screamed with terror. Robin’s mum said that they should wring her neck and her dad said that they should chop its head off.

Robin did not agree. After that she ran at the back of their garden and started to dig and search for worms. Then Robin’s mum said you can keep the chook only if you look after it. Robin’s friends would save  some lunch for the chook and pick bunches of weeds so the chook could make her nest. The chook now lives in a verandah and mum  and dad are now liking the chook because the chook lays eggs for the mum so she can make omelets for dinner.

And dad likes the chook because everytime he comes back from work at night he holds the chook and walks around with it and talks to it. The next day the chook had scratched Mr dick’s peas that he just planted. Robin went over to say sorry but Mr dick said no worries because the chook repaid him with two eggs. Then Mr dick said to Robin that she had a great bird.
