Reading - Benny

Kia Ora, and welcome back to my blog I will be posting about what I did at reading today. For reading I red a book called Benny. Benny is about a boy that is way different to his friend Benny, and the weekend ends they differently to normal weekends. Here is some more information about the story:...

What are some of the differences between Benny and his friend?

1. Benny is taller

2. Benny is built and his friend isn't

3. Benny likes to play Rugby/sport but his friend would rather watch.

How does Benny's friend feel about his new house?

I dont think he likes it because in the story it says that Benny friend misses him and hasn't seen him in ages but if he still lived down the road he would see him everyday.

How did the boys mother feel about the incident? Do you think her actions a justified? Why/Why not?

I think yes because his mother had to help him swim in the start and that's why Benny's friend didn't want to do it. 

What is the author's purpose in writing this text? How do you know?
I think the purpose is that you shouldn't force people into things they dont want to do because it could end really bad for the person pushing or the person they are going to injure. I know this because in the story it says that Benny's friend doesn't want t do it because the boy didn't know how to swim and the boy was already under them. 

What themes are explored in this text?

I think that outdoors and nature is explored because they always talk about kayaking in the lake and being outdoors.

Test My Heart Rate

Kia Ora , today I will be telling you what we are learning for PE. For this Hurumanu we a learning about our heart rates. Today we did 3 test, the first one was finding our Resting Heart Rate and count how many pulses there are in 30 seconds and then doubling it for how many in a minute. The second one we did was running 30 meters and then seeing how long we took. The last one was a agility test. For the agility test we timed each other. I will leave the picture of the agility test and my heart rate.

A Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is were if you a settled and not using your energy for like running or something physical. An average heart rate for a kid ages 11-13 is about 80-90 pulses a minute. 

Fitness Test	Result	Heart rate after (BPM)
Resting heart rate	84 pulses a min	N/A
Agility Run	21 sec
30m sprint	17 sec

Badge Of Honour Part 2 - Summary

Kia Ora here is a summery of the story that I just published on my blog.

Badge of Honour 

So at the start of the story Miss Latu presented the school captains, Fai, Jess,
Tomasi and Isaac. Isaac knows that Tomasi fights people after school and during
the weekend so Isaac tells Tomasi that he is going to tell Miss Latu because if he
is fighting people he isn't being a good role model even if it isn't during school. At
the end of the story Miss Latu finds out and Tomasi tells Isaac to say he was at
Isaac house the whole time to get away with it.

Badge Of Honour

Kia Ora and today I will be talking to you about what we are doing for the 2nd week of school after lock down. For the first activity we have to read a book out of 4 I choose to read 'Badge of Honour'.

Badge of Honour is about 4 kids that get the role of being school captains, but one of them doesn't deserve to be one. Here is some more information about it:....

Isaac is one of the school captains along with  Fai, Jess and Tomasi. Isaac is one of the school captains that does the right thing no matter what. In the story his friend Tomasi always fights other people after school and in the weekend. Isaac cares for his friends, does the right things and helps people that might need help. 

The school captains are Fai, Jess, Tomasi and Isaac. I think that Isaac, Fai and Jess all like the role of being school captains. Tomasi on the other hand thinks it is an advantage because at the end of the story it say "Miss Latu will believe us. Were school captains, right". Basically he said that because Miss Latu knows about Tomasi having fights after school. 

I think that the author wants to give out the impression that Tomasi is bad and doesn't like to listen to his friends that trying to help him. I know this because in the story Isaac tries to stop Tomasi but he fights a kid named Richmond.

The author also gives out the impression that Fai is a caring person and if you ever need someone to talk to you can because she will understand and give you advice. 

I would give Isaac advice like " If you think you are doing something good to help someone do it or if there fighting constantly then tell Miss Latu.

That is all I have today come back for more about the activity.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking to yous about Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty Of Waitangi). I am learning this in a class could Who are we. Who are we is about the History of Maori and Pakeha. Here is the information I found.

100,000 - 70,000 was the population of Maori in the late 1830s. The population dropped due to sicknesses during war. One war was so horrible that half the reason why the population was going down. This is how it started.

To make everything more fair for Maori and Pakeha the British sent William Hobson to set up the Treaty of Waitangi. Also to stop some of the fighting that was going on.

The rangatira were very unhappy because the people were being silly by drinking to much all the time and prostitution. There was also a lot of unfair trading going on.

There was also a problem with how the treaty was translated into Maori. There was a problem with how the Maori translation was written. There was a patch in the treaty were the things were different.

The Maori thought they would still own the land. The British thought they would have the land. The British also thought they had permission to buy the land off the Maori.

William Hobson arrived January, 1840.
