Should New zealand Ban plastic straws

Today we were debating on whether we ban plastic straws or we keep plastic straws. My partner was 
Te Pounamu and while we were looking at the suffering creatures we understood that there are things that are harming the marine life. Plastic straws can get stuck in turtle's noses and in bird's mouths, not only do they biodegrade into harmful microscopic pieces of plastic get stuck in animal's stomachs, plastic releases toxins that can pollute lakes and and the ground. That's why I don't think we should have plastic straws anymore, paper and bamboo ones are far better for the environment.

Persuasive speech: Give 12 yr old kids a part time job

LI: To write a speech that persuades others to think the way that you do.

For the past two weeks we made a persuasive speech that wants to make the audience change their minds when they hear your opinion my speech was about giving 12 yr old kid a part time job so it can help their families. we had to make sure we gave good eye contact to the audience, good expressions to hook your audience to your speech with persuasive language features and either tell your speech to the class or to a small group i told mine to a small group. It was easy to tell the group because it was only a group of three.


SPEECH:

Hi my name is Te Pounamu and i think that people 12 years and over should have a part time job because it can help with different kind of payments in the house and for your clothing and anything else for your family and you. People 12 can have more than 60 jobs . This means that us kids are able to earn money for our families witch can help a lot

People think 12 year old’s shouldn’t have a job because of the saying No debt No sweat but i say different i think that 12 year old kids should have a part time job. It can help with families that are not getting paid properly or don’t get paid at all because they don’t get food on there tables or clothes on their backs or support to their families and their houses

If your were the prime minister would you let families be helpless without food or clothes because if I was the Prime Minister I would let anyone above the age of 11 because it might help wait not it’s going to help the lives of kids parents or their elders because it’s amazingly helpful because it can help with your health and needs.

The reason why I want this to happen is because the families are losing their money because their suffering, damaged and hurt because they're losing their money so we can let the 12 year old kids are earning money because of the money that they earn can provide for their families with food, clothing and bedding, etc. So do you think that 12 year old kids should have a well paid part time job? Because I do.

So please let 12 year old kids have a well paid job that can sustain and stabilize their lives with a House, Food, Clothes and other needs I have lived that life before and it's hash but now i have a part time weekend job that can sustain my families life which helps my family heavily which is what makes me happy providing for my family

Tech - Food

For tech today we completed our last session for Term 2. with our teacher Mrs Heka, who takes care of food tech show us how to cook traditional food queasiness. Today we cooked Chop Suey from the Samoan culture. This rotations theme is all about cultural food. Since there wasn't an equal amount of students in food class, My group : Joseph and i. Each person had their own roles to complete. Joseph and I worked together to make sure that the food was done properly, and that the main ingredients were prepared to be added in, while i was dicing the onion, chicken, and garlic. The equipment that we used from our trolley was: medium bowl, measuring cups/spoons, knives, Yellow and green cutting board, big pot, strainer, fork, and serving spoon. The ingredients were: mixed veges, chicken, soy sauce, boiling water, oil, vermicelli, and salt. We were told to remove the pot from the heat every 2 minutes, because of the stickiness from the chicken and vermicelli. At the end of the session, as always we cleansed down our top/bottom benches, especially the stoves/cum tray. While we were cooking our chop suey, Mrs Heka was getting the rice prepared and then we dished it which looked so deliciously delicious. 

HIIT

Today we did HIIT. We worked on building our upper body strength and increasing our heart rate. The activity that we done was push up, pull up and mountain climbers. We worked collaboratively with a buddy so that we could encourage each other to do work hard. I found pull up hard because it drain all you energy to push your self up. We also had a challenge to do and it was going down to do a squat if the song say bring sally down, the song that we use of the challenge is the son is bring sally up. Also I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Ogilvie for doing the lesson with us.
