The Worst Soccer Game

WALT describe in our writing. We were trying to use some long and short sentences, use adjectives and adverbs, use juicy verbs to start a sentence, use a simile or metaphor, keep to one main idea in each paragraph and edit for spelling and punctuation.
I enjoyed writing about the terrible match we played in soccer.
I found it challenging to find adverbs and put them in my writing because the ones I was thinking of didn't fit in.

The icy grass crunched beneath us as we ran. The frosty wind thrashed against the ball and pushed it back as we tried to kick it. Frozen rain bucketed down. The clouds roared like a lion with all its might. The game still continued, even though the weather struck us with its might and our arms and chest felt stiff like frostbite. Eventually everything became a blur. Our bodies stung. The wind threw us to our knees. Cold rain soaked our clothes. Finally, after all that, I slowly got up from the ground and used all of my adrenalin to score the finishing goal. As a celebration, all I wanted to do was have a hot bath and a delicious hot chocolate.

Speechs

This week we presented our speeches.
I felt very relaxed because I've done it so many times before.
We included our pepeha.
We had to use a clear voice, stand still, speak loudly, go at our own pace, look up at the crowd, use expression and be confident.
Our speeches also needed to include a rhetorical question and be persuasive.
My speech was on Climate Change.
Also you can check out my previous blog post and read what my speech was about.

Climate Change

We are learning to structure.

I enjoyed learning about Climate Change and what it does to our planet.

I found it challenging to put it in my own words.

What is Climate change and what its doing to our planet? The Amazon Rainforest AKA The Earth’s Lungs produces 20% of the Earth’s oxygen and is home to 10% of Earth’s animals and plants. But right now wildfires have gotten out of control and are so big they are visible from space.

Because the Earth is warming up, the sea temperature is warming up and glaciers are melting at an astonishing rate. Unfortunately, lowlands (places that are below sea level) are flooding, destroying homes and leaving people stranded.

Another key reason about climate change is fossil fuels (diesel, coal, petrol, etc). Fossil fuels when burned, are very harmful to the environment and the Earth’s atmosphere. They produce carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases that trap heat in our planet and atmosphere so it can’t leave.

I think we need to start using renewable energy like electric cars because it is more efficient. We need to stop using fossil fuels. We also need to plant a lot of trees. We need to stop climate change from happening.

Why Caged Chickens Should Be Banned

We are learning about why Caged Chickens should be banned.

I enjoyed learning about how cruel it is that they are caged.

I found it challenging to write it in my own words.

Why Caged Hens should not be in Cages

Would you want to be a caged hen with no room to move? Eighty-five percent of all chickens that lay eggs are kept in a shed that contain over forty five thousand captive hens. The hens space in their cage is the size of an A4 piece of paper, they are cramped up and can’t dust bathe or exercise. Caged hens get diseases, like osteoporosis due to the lack of exercise and fatty liver disease. My conclusion is: eighty-five percent of all chickens that lay eggs are kept in sheds that contain over forty five thousand hens. Their cage is the size of an A4 piece of paper and can’t act natural. They get diseases like osteoporosis and fatty liver disease. I firmly believe that hens should not be kept in cages as its inhumane and cruel.
