Speech: Smoking 121119

Jasmine Speech: Smoking 

Smoking, what do you think it does to you?

Smoking can cause multiple impacts on

your life and health. There are many different

ways that smoking can affect you.

Smoking can cause numerous diseases in

your body, it also has the ability of causing death. 

Smoking forms a variety of problems in

your system, contructing intacs in different

parts of your body. It causes multiple organs to

struggle with working properly. It effects the nose,

throat, stomach and even your lungs. It also attacks other things like your vision,

your blood and bone marrow. 

Smoking could also been known as vape.

There is no excuse to vape.

People asume vaping causes less harm,

they are wrong. Vaping causes heart diseases,

as well as smoking.

Smoking causes around 50,000 deaths per year.

By reducing the amount of cigarettes to smoke

in a month or day,

you could also help reduce the number of deaths. 

There’s one main thing in a cigarette

that poisons the body, “Tare.”

For every cigarette you smoke,

you put between 7 to 22 milligrams of tare

into your body. Tare is a chemical in the smoke,

you can’t see it, but you are able to smell it.

Smoking can also cause harm to your lungs,

which is needed to breath. Smoking is an expensive

habit which people find hard to give up.

Every cigarette you smoke reduces

your expected lifespan by 11mins.

A single cigarette contains over 4,800

chemicals and 69 of them are known to cause cancer. 

People might of started smoking because

they thought is was cool, or they had hard

times in life or even just started smoking

because others did. Please, think before you

start smoking, so you can live a longer, happier and better life.

Thank you

Recount: Matariki Lights

WALT - write a recount

Success Criteria: To be successful I must:

• Describe the event in sequence
• Use past tense
• Try focus on one main idea
• Inform when, where, who, and what happened. 

On a simple Friday night, my friends and I went to see the Matariki lights.

On our way, we each spoke of how excited we were,

and how colourful it would be. This event was located on Taniwha Street. 

Before we even got there, I wondered to myself what it all stood for,

what the value for the Matariki lights were.

Standing next to me was Sharhera, I was so eager to find out,

that it just blurbed out of my mouth. 

She was first shocked and confused, but eventually told me it’s value.

She informed that Matariki is an anual celebration.

It serves the purpose of the Maori new year,

and the lights are only a small part of the occasion.

There were five of us in total, and as we arrived,

we first made our way to the entrance.

There were multiple colours which reflected off the disco globe,

and sparkled everywhere. I was so amazed and astound by the colours,

that I wasn’t ready to go on, and insisted we stay at least a tiny bit longer. 

Sooner or later, it was finally enough,

and we were able to carry on with the tour.

We then took a brief stroll leading us to more and more lights.

I mean it could not have gotten any better!

Surrounding us, were decorations with all types of shapes and sizes.

Comming towards the bridge, was a waterfall.

The waterfall was moving in a way, like it was an automatic GIF.

Beautiful bright lights were all around us, and as soon as you know it,

that was the end of the tour. It went past all too quickly,

and we couldn’t resist to go around once or twice more. 

In Conclusion, it got to a time where we were exhausted enough to go home.

Thank you.

Last term, the whole senior side visited the, 'Howick Historical Village'
We learnt and saw amazing things, and realized how lucky we were to
have machines, unlike what they had, but as we learnt how they worked
things, back in the day, we thought it was very cool.

Geometry 020719

Geometry

In June, my class covered the basics of geometry:

WALT: 

Create a DLO about geometry to teach others about it.

Success Criteria:
- Use a presentation
- Explain different kinds of lines.
- Watch videos to get more ideas about geometry.
- Make sure you understand how the lines work.

A Point:

A point is one of the most basic figures in geometry.

Notice that a point is usually labelled with a capital letter.

For example:

• A
• X
• y

Line segment

A line has to endpoints. Unlinke a ray, they both end at a certain time.

For example, segment A and B. This segment can also be represented as:

or :

Line:

A line is defined as a straight path between points that extends forever in both directions. Line XY can also be represented XY with a line over it. 

Ray:

A ray only has one endpoint, meaning the other goes on forever. The first letter in any ray represents the endpoint. The next letter, represents which direction the arrow heads. A ray can also be shown is two different ways.

Up above, I have slide show which explain the parts of a plant and their function.

Netball

Today we used our netball pictures to do our writing in class.  We had to use our imagination to write down what we thought the students were saying.  We had lots of fun thinking about what to write for the students.

BEDMAS 220219

This morning our main focus was about 'BEDMAS'. BEDMAS is acronym for
Brackets
Exponents
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
There are rules to how to use it, and my work today is all about BEDMAS.

Blog Commenting

Today we learnt how to make a quality blog comment. We learnt that in our blog comments, that we must have the following:

2. A connection with the writer
3. A positive statement - say something nice
4. Add a few facts
5. Ask a question or advice

We also learnt that before we publish our comment, we must check:

1. Spelling
2. Capital letters and punctuation
3. Make sure our comment makes sense

My comment on Laina's blog:

Quotation Marks 120619

Today we are learning how to use dialogue. 
In dialogue we use speech marks. 
Speech marks are used to show that someone is talking. 
Basically how to use speech marks is pretty simple. All you do is, write down 66, 
and 99 at the beginning and end of your sentences, but always remember after your 66, comes a capital letter, and before a 99 comes a full stop or a question mark. It's good to test yourself to see how much of it you know. Today, my teacher set a quiz about quotation marks, and my results were:

10/10!

10✓!1

Rotating Shapes

Today we learnt rotation with Mr Ramkolowan. Since rotation means to turn, he helped us learn which arm was  left and right, then he turned the activity into a fun game. We also played another game, but different to the one we did before. Instead of  arms we used degrees. If he said, "90 degrees left." His commands would come true. After that, he shared us a worksheet and said, "Once you've completed what I have put in the document, you must make four more. " We had a wonderful time learning about rotation, I hope you enjoyed reading what I have written.

Jasmine's Blog Profile

My name is Jasmine, and I attend Glen Innes School. I am ten years old, and I have three brothers and sisters. My favourite subject in school is reading, because I am at the highest level in my class. I admire my oldest sister because, we have a full house with ten people living with us, and she pays the rent, bill and lunch all on time, without missing any of our concerts at school. My favourite sports are touch and netball, because they both include teamwork with a good attitude.

Math

Today in math, I learnt how to divide in algorithm. At first, I didn't understand easily, but as we did it over again, I started to pick it up. I'd have to admit, I did think that the world would complicate, from string to string, but as I got use to it, I found it easy.

In case you don't know what long division is, I've inserted a video to explain:

A Wedge at work

As the wedge moves, from angle to angle, it explains what it is, and how
it looks.
As you can see, the wedge, and wood placed together, also looks likes an
axe. They're both used to;

• Chop things into half or bits
• Firewood.....

And loads of other things,.

A wedge is a simple machine, used to lift, or break things apart.

Simple machines are very useful to people, and very simple to use,

that's how they got their name.

A simple machine is also known as an:

1. Incline Plane
2. Pulley
3. Screw 
4. Lever
5. Wheel & Axle
6. Wedge 
7. And more

Thank you for reading my brief information on what I've wrote. Hopefully I've taught you what, and how a simple machine works. If not click on the word information below:

Omaru Stream170317

Omaru Stream

Kia Ora, my name is Jasmine, and I attend Glen Innes School. For the past few weeks, my school has been learning about healthy streams. Omaru Stream is not far from our school, so we started experimenting and cleaning it up. Right now the stream is filthy and all covered with rubbish. Our job is to help clean it, and keep it healthy. We don't look after our local streams for the look, but to also keep the aquatic animals safe. We shouldn't be oblivious to litter, otherwise when it rains, it'll wash into the streams and rivers. If we work together, our work will pay off, and end up looking nice and healthy.

 

All about me

All about me

Aloha, my name is Jasmine and I attend to Glen Innes School. I'm in room 10 and my teacher is Mrs Petersen. I love eating fruit, and my favourite one is rockmelon. My friends are, Laina, Leilah, Eric, Moko, Indira, Charm, Vavia and a whole lot of other people. One thing that we all have in common, is that we're all loud, we laugh loud, and we all love dancing. When I arrive home from school, my brothers and I play with my little nephew. He's about three years old turning four this month on the thirteen. He likes playing wrestling and at the end we all have to act dead so he'll feel like he won.

Vector

Vector

Vector is a company that helps children of any sizes and shapes keep safe, away from powerlines. Power lines are kept inside poles covered with rubber, not allowing the cords near the human body. 

But that doesn't mean it's still safe to swing, sit or jump on transmitters, transformers or power poles. It's still dangerous for us to even go near them. 

There once was a boy, who loved climbing trees. 

One day, he saw a tree next to a power pole, and on that power pole was a platform with a transmitter above it.
The next day, he saw it was gone so, he climbed the tree and hopped onto the flatform. After, he screamed "YEAH!" as loud as he could to celebrate his victory. He didn't know what power safety was, but his hands were to high, high enough to get electrocuted. So when he was, he fell to the floor.

Now the good thing was that he survived, but that is how powerful open wires can be. Even chargers, can harm you.

That's why Vector's here. To help keep us safe.

Tech

On a nice hot sunny Monday, years 7-8 hopped onto a bus heading to Tamaki College, straight after morning tea at 11:25 for technology. Before we left the classroom, my teacher Mrs Tuokoi, told us what group we were in. The students in my year (year 7's) were in the cooking class with Mrs Heka, along with two other year sevens, and one year eight.

As soon as we got there, we were taken to our rooms. The first thing Mrs Heka instructed us to do, was to store all our jackets, netbooks and extra things in a cubby hole. After that, our job was to chuck an apron on and wash our hands. As we partnered up and figured out where our kitchen was, Mrs Hecka explained how to clean, polish and wash the tables. As that pasted, we got our little trolly with all our cookware, that were needed in order to bake. Later on, and we finally got onto the cooking part. The first instruction we were told to do was to wash the small, silver bowl, then to bring out the pink and green knife, along with the red and green chopping board. Meanwhile Mrs Hecka, made it clear that dishwashers come to front with their red chopping board and knife, to get the bacon in order to make pizza. Secondly came the dryer/packer, with a measuring cup to put two slices of pineapples into. Then grabbing the pizza sauce and a whole wrap bread to use as base for the pizza. We were handed a metalled tray to put our wrap onto, then we spread the tomato sauce all over, making it look like a cherry. Next, we put the bacon onto the tomato sauce, and added the pineapples, with the final touch of sprinkled mozzarella to complete the pizza.

Now comes the dishes. As we did it, time passed and our pizza was ready to come out of the oven. We were told to cut into four pieces, and were handed brown pieces of paper to put it onto. I definitely loved cooking with Mrs Hecka, and am excited and looking forward to doing it next week Monday.  

Levers at Work

Today after lunch, we learnt how levers work, and how to make it on a device.
If you don't know anything about how levers work, I think this will help you just right!
