Novel study

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blogpost, I will be talking about the book I'm reading for my novel study. The book's name is I am malala. 

I think that this book will be about a girl and her experience being a part of her culture. I have not heard of Malala Yousafzai before but I am looking forward to finding out about her. I think that the whole story sounds interesting. 

I am wondering what happens in the story though meaning what happens before and after she is shot and I'm also wondering why she was shot and how it affected her.  

SEXXXY Paragraph 3

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be talking about what I have been doing in English. So as you know in English, I have been learning about SEXXXY Paragraphs. Today we had to work on our third paragraph and this paragraph was based on a picture. There was a choice of two pictures from two different scenes in the movie. This has helped my writing because it has improved how I write my SEXXXY Paragraphs. After we had completed writing our paragraph we had to highlight which parts of the paragraph were which.

Here is my work....

In the movie Hunt For The Wilderpeople, there was this one scene in the image shown above. This scene is around the middle of the movie. In this scene, the audience would have been captivated and interested in what was going to happen next. This scene was important because it showed how important them hiding from Paula and the police officer was. The camera angle of this scene focuses on Ricky and Hec.  Their facial expressions are very vivid. The placement of the characters in this scene exaggerated the dramatic effect of them trying to hide. Overall I believe that this scene was a very important part of the movie. 

Here is my work Highlighted...

SEXXXY Paragraph

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing with you what I have been doing in English. So for English, we have been learning about SEXXXY Paragraphs. Today's task was to create a paragraph about the film Hunt For The Wilderpeople. I learnt how to properly write a SEXXXY Paragraph. This has helped my writing because it has introduced a new way to share my learning. My favourite part of the film study has been learning about the SEXXXY Paragraphs...

Here is my paragraph.....

SEXXY Paragraphs

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing the work that I have been doing in English. In English, we watched the film Hunt For The Wilderpeople and we are going to be writing an essay about it. We had to practise using Sexxy Paragraphs and had to create a google doc and use a part of the conflict from the film. Before we created the Sexxy Paragraph we had to plan it out on a slideshow that Miss Birtch had prepared for us. 

Here is my work...

Sexxy Paragraph.

In the film, Hunt For The Wilderpeople Ricky and Paula ( The female police officer ) have a very

complicated relationship. The conflict begins when Ricky runs away and Paula finds his “dead body”.

Paula tries to connect with Ricky when she finds him again after his run away but fails to as Ricky

continues running away. This shows us that Ricky still does not want to connect with Paula. The conflict

still continues near the end of the movie when Ricky takes Crumpy the car for a drive after Paula finds

his whereabouts. In conclusion by the end of the film, Paula and Ricky’s relationship is still complicated. 

Cultural Kete

 Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing with you what I have been doing for Wananga.  So for Wananga, we have been learning about cultures and we had to make a splat page sharing with you certain words that relate to culture. I decided to use a google drawing to share the definitions of the words. 

Here is my splat page......

Heart Dissection

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome back to another blog post. For today's blog post I will be sharing with you what I did in Biology. So in Biology, we were to get into groups of three or get into pairs. In my group, we had Tasharn, Nici, and me. The aim of this activity was to educate ourselves on how a heart works. We are doing this because it is important to know how things like this work. 

We started off by getting newspaper and putting it over the tables so no juices would get onto the table. We then got given a scalpel, scissors, tweezers, and a metal tray. Our teacher Miss Abernethy gave each group a sheep heart. The first thing that I noticed about the heart was that there was fat around it this was to protect it. We put gloves on and each chose a tool to use, but within the lesson did switch a few times. We first cut the left side and then the right and then inspected and looked at what was inside. We then cut the septum ( the part that separates the left from the right side ). After we had done that we ended up cutting the heart completely in half. For each step of cutting the heart, we felt around to see what each part would feel like and we would look at it and see the different parts of the heart that our teacher had recently been talking about. 

Something that I learned was the different parts of the heart for example the septum which separates the left from the right side. Another part of the heart is the right and left side ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen through the pulmonary artery, and the left ventricle pumps the oxygen through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body. 

I personally enjoyed doing the dissection because it was easier to remember which each part of the heart does what by seeing it. 

This image shows the heart when it had completely been cut in half. This shows inside of the heart. 

This image also shows the heart completely in half but from the top side.
