Dictation!

Low Tide by Sarah Penwarden

I walk beside you

Across mudflats in

My blue gum boots,

Over crackling oyster

Shells, green-ribbed pipe,

The traces of wading birds.

When the tide is out, what lies exposed:

River threads of mud, old brown stones,

Tiny mussels yet to grow:

My soul prince left

On the oceans’

Bones.

Katie Glynn

Katie Glynn represented and was positioned as the New Zealand striker for the Black Sticks Hockey Team for New Zealand in the Olympics Games. She was a committed player and never missed any of her training. As she got older she was faced with sacrifices and made decision between two essential things but she thought that training was more significant.

In the Olympics games she has been through injuries and had one experience of a hockey stick that hit her head and got stitched up in the middle of the match and continue to compete again. Katie’s back was painful than any other injuries. She tried to take medicines but then she realised her back isn’t improving and making a difference.

As an athletic, Katie has been a role model and a huge inspiration to young children to dream big and start believing in yourself. She is courageous and determined by her own actions which maintains the number of people she has inspired throughout her experiences as a Black Sticks.

Unfortunately Katie has retired from the Black Sticks (hockey team) because of the number of injuries she has gone through. Her job is being a coach for the Auckland Diocesan Girls College. On Tuesday the 28th of March, she visited and inspired the Saint Patrick’s School children in Auckland to be the best we can as we grow up in the future.

Katie says to be the best we can to succeed our goals in the future and be a strong person to be able to fulfil our journey as we grow.

Meditation!

Monday 13th of March 2017

Reflection:

What is the next step in my relationship with you?

Message:

To relax our minds and let God’s Spirit  fill us. To realize all the families around me who are suffering from death and asking for a change in life. No matter how old we are, we are children of God. God showed us love and gave day and night which was named as sun and moon. Then we gave us lights such as stars - to light our journey.

Is a rubbish a problem?

Netball!

Sports-

Plan:

• Competitive game
• Different Genders
• Different Places
• Rules

Sports are basically played by different genders at different places. Some sports are non-contact (no pushing or tackling) and contact (tackling). Every sport has rules so that everyone can play safely on ground or grass.

When we play a sport we sometimes need the right sports gear like Rugby and Touch (Rugby Boot) so that when times are dangerous you are prepared and safe because they are wearing the gear. It can be really dangerous like Rugby, Karate, Skateboarding that can contain, falling down, having bruises, hurting yourself and people can end up in serious condition like a head injury..

There are positions in each and every games like Netball (Goal Attack, Goal Defence, Goal Shoot, Goal Keep, Center, Wing Defence and Wing Attack). For an example in Netball Center is the most important position of all because they need to be fit enough to run back and forth in the court supporting their team members. All it matters is to co-operate with each other to be all to win the match with your opponent.

In every sport they play with different types of balls like a volleyball, netball, basketball, rugby ball, softball, and many other balls. Some of them aren’t allowed to walk with the balls, run with the balls, or dribble the balls. You can sometimes get called out for that and lose the ball to the other team..

Sports are really fun to play but sometimes it get boring when you keep playing it so you should sometimes have a rest from playing. Every time people play a game try to keep the key rule in your head to be able to win the competition and have the trophy.

Tangata Whenua!

We are learning to think and question what we read.

What is a environmental scientist?

James's role is to study problems caused by pollution.

What type of pollution are?

• Dumping of rubbish
• Car gases and smokes that run into the water
• Water pollution
• Air pollution
• Soil pollution

---

Why do you think the main reason why this writer wrote this article?

• Stop pollution?
• Maybe to inform us (Specific Area)
• To test the quality of water based in that area

---

Explanation:

What is Tangata Whenua?

Tangata Whenua means ‘people of the land.’ In this article an environmental scientist named James informs us to stop polluting. He researches and collects data in estuary areas. He tests the quality of water based within that area.

James experiences different types of pollutions that affects the environment. An environmental Scientist doesn’t only research for chemicals in water and pollution but what affects it to happen.

Explanation:

Plan:

• Environmental Scientist
• Pollutions
• Testing the quality of water.
• Problems
• Awareness
• Humans problems
• Informs us to stop causing the problems (pollution)
• Actions
• Specific questions

Introduction-What is an environmental Scientist?

An environmental Scientist is someone who checks the quality of water and what’s affecting the pollutions to happen. These environmental scientist informs us to stop the pollutions because it’s also affecting the environment. We are determined by scientists because we wouldn’t be able to increase our knowledge more about pollution.

Paragraph 1

The scientist asks specific questions like ‘What’s and ‘Who’ is causing it?’ They make sure that their job is a piece of cake but really! They're chasing after answers to accomplish their missions which is difficult. When they have discovered their answers, they make sure that it’s true before they spread the news to the world. It is essential that we understand how significant it can be when we cause destruction to the environment that can include the whole universe.

Paragraph 2

We can make a big difference through our actions and words which can be positive or negative, or should I just say negative? Pollution isn’t made by sea creatures, animals, dogs or cats, we (humans) invented pollutions. Now it’s upto us to stop and to persuade others as well. The environmental scientist is a self-managing person because they want to discover why we want to cause something so bad to the environment which can affect the world.

Paragraph 3:

A committed person is careful for the environment and how serious the pollution is. They care about the contaminated areas and what it’s causing things to die - which is the sea creatures and the environment around us.

Conclusion

Making a difference starts not only with you but with us!
