Rock climbing

On the holiday my brother mum and I went to Auckland to see our cousin's Skylah and Ella and our Aunty and Uncle.  On the first day when we arrived to Auckland my Aunty had a plan to go rock climbing so we went to the rock climbing place.  When we arrived to the rock climbing place we got four chocolate cookie's at started rock climbing.  First we had a safety check for our harness and then we looked around for some rock wall to climb.  first I climbed a really hard rock wall that had ropes that you had to hold on to I tried to get up to the top but I fell off when I reached about a meter it was really hard so then I went on i'm a rock wall with Pokemon and power puff girl's it was so so fun.  not going to go over all of this because then it will take an hour but at the end of the day I climbed 22 rock wall's and it was awesome.

My Speech about cigarettes.

Kia ora. Here are the cue cards for my speech about cigarettes. Learning how to write a one-sided argument is tricky but we helped each other and our teacher helped us get the right things in the right places. I hope I get to be in the finals next year.
Ka kite ano.

Cigarettes should be banned

Are you a smoker?
I believe cigarettes should be banned in nz

Firstly, smoking cigarettes is bad for your health… Secondly, smoking is addictive and once people start smoking they find it hard to stop…. Finally, cigarettes cost a lot of money.

Half of all long-term smokers will die from a smoking-related disease. Around 5000 people die each year in New Zealand because of smoking or second-hand smoke exposure and more than 60 of the chemicals in cigarette smoke can cause cancer.

It is sad when people you love get
cancer and you see them sick.

Cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance found naturally in tobacco.  It travels quickly to the brain when it is inhaled and can cause a feeling of temporary relaxation and stress relief.  The chemicals in cigarette smoke make people feel happy for a while and they find it hard to stop smoking.

Smoking is an expensive habit. Smoking a pack a day costs around $8,300 per year or approximately $160 a week. This is based on pack of 20 that costs $22.80 (the average cost in January - 2016).

So, I’m sure you would agree that the sale of cigarettes in New Zealand should be made illegal.  They are a terribly unhealthy habit that’s hard to break, will keep you poor and will make you die before your time.

My end of Term 2 basic facts and multiplication levels.

Kia ora.
Here are the results of my basic facts and multiplication tests which we did in Week 9 Term 2. Last term I was working at Stage 5 Level 2 in basic facts but this term I sat the Stage 6 Level 3 test. My score was 29/30 and I got all my addition and subtraction facts to 20 correct. I need to work on Groupings that add to 1000, and multiplication and division facts.

In multiplication, I am working at Stage 6 Level 3 and I need to learn my 6x, 7x, 8x and 9x table.
So, my teacher is pleased with my progress since Term 1 but I need to keep revising my facts so I don't forget them.
Ka kite ano.

Kia ora. This is the result of the test we did at the end of our time unit. As you can see, I did mega badly.  I only got four questions wrong  but I got some of the most important questions wrong . Two of them I got the minuet hand and the hour hand mixed up but the other one did not show a picture so I had to guess. So I'll definitely try  harder next time. My teacher does not agree that I have done badly as she says I got only 32% in the pretest so I have practically doubled my score.
