Persuasive Writting

Do you save energy? Well I do and I agree that we should all save energy and power. How do you do it? Well I will explain to you now. 

 If we don’t save energy and power our world will get polluted and will be running out of money from all the energy that we wasted. If we do save energy we will be able to buy food and clothes for our own family. 

 My next reason is that if we all work together on all different kind of energy sources like solar energy, wind power and the renewable energies then our world will become much better. Since this year New Zealand is on track. 

 And my last reason is about our environment. Our forest and trees has been cut so they can make things out of them like pencils and paper. I think that we should save our trees and use computers and laptops but we have to use less energy. If we cut down our trees humans won’t get that much energy. 

This is why I believe we should save energy.

My holiday Recount

In the  holidays I went  to Rainbows End with my cousins  and  sister. My  cousin parked the car. And  we walk through  the gates  got my wristband and got  my map  that  show  me where  to go. When I  saw  pirate ship, fear fall  and the bumper boat  and I was  thinking I  can’t  wait  to  get  on  the  rides.

It was an exciting morning  for me because  my parents told me and my sister to go have fun with my cousins at Rainbows  End.Then my sister gave my cousin one hundred dollars that  my mum gave her to give to
my cousin. But my cousin said it's all right  we have enough money to buy stuff.

Then    my  cousin said “ Let's  go  on the Motion Master”  and  my  sister  said  “Hurry  up  before we miss out!”
One of  my  cousin, was  just relaxing walking  and  we missed out on the motion master so we have to  wait in line for about  ten to fifteen minutes.
Then the lady  came out  and   gave  us  3D glasses.  We walked inside and the lady turned off the lights and we have to watch this TV. When we finish
watching the TV  then we have go in this room where you  see lots of  chairs lining  up in each row. Then the lady told us the rules and she told us to empty our pockets because you  might lose anything in your pockets. Then I sat on the chair next to sister. Then we have hold onto
the handle then we watch a big screen and then the  chair started moving  around  and the chair started go faster and faster. The we finish
watching the big screen then the chair started going slow. Then I said “it was fast it only took us about five minutes” and then my cousin said “ who cares.”  As soon  as we walk to the log ride  we were waiting in a line
for our turn to go on the ride. When we got  inside the log my cousin took some picture  of me with her phone. When we went in the tunnel it  was
so cool because we saw all of these lights around us and some pirate ships it was so awesome. Then we got at the end of the tunnel  I saw
a camera and the word smile. Then I smile to the camera, then the ride
went down fast when the log hit the  ground. All of the  water went up
and I was a little bit wet  because when the water hit  the ground it went all over the place.

When we got off the log we walk to the shops and brought some candy floss and a drink when I finish my drink and candy floss we walk to
the Invader  soon as we got there I spewed up outside the Invader. I
was feeling dizzy then I sat down my I cousin bought  a drink and gave
me  a panadol then I felt better. Then my cousin took a picture of when I spewed up.When I looked at picture when I was sitting down I was laughing. As I was just watched my cousin going on the invader it made me want to spew up again.

My Reading Goals

                                                My Reading  Goals for  Term 3 are ...

• Make use of  my  prior  knowledge. This means asking  "What  do I already  know  about this topic?
• Respond  using  evidence  from the text. This means not guessing.  It means using information from the text!

Movie Magic Evaluation

I think that Good Actors is the most important element to movie making because... You have to have good actors. If you don’t have good Actors your movie will look bad because it won’t look realistic and it won’t be believable. 

I put Good editing and Fancy costumes second because... You can’t have a movie with no costumes because it won’t stand out. You need good editing because if you don’t, the movie will look strange and out of order. 

Another important element is range of camera shots and angles because... if you don’t have any camera shots and angles, your movie will look bad. 

Other important elements that aren’t included here are...

Motion and Time

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was. editing and acting because acting is cool. When I grow up, I might be an actor. Editing was fun because you learn lots of stuff by using iMovie.

Room 8 Speeches

Room 8 have been studying Movie Magic. Part of making movies, is speaking clearly. We put this into practice by planning, crafting, practicing and presenting speeches. The topics we chose, were topics that would influence the thinking of others. We hope you enjoy!

Speech Reflection

How did you feel about presenting your speech to the class?
I felt nervous  when I was watching the other people doing their speeches, but  when I got up  I felt  awesome.

What was the hardest part about preparing a speech?
The hardest part about preparing  my speech was  eye contact.


What did you enjoy most about speeches?
I enjoyed  my  speech  because  I tried  my  best  writing it and  preparing  it.

How could you improve your speech making next time?
By trying my best to prove my English  because English is my second language.
