My Lock-down

 This Term has been pretty crazy with everything going on in New Zealand and around the world. The start to this term was amazing with all of the fun sports we got to do like netball, basketball, and a bit of Rugby league. But then a little into the term we had out level 4 lock down which has lasted throughout the whole rest of the term. I was sad that I didn't get to socialize with anyone besides my bubble but also re leaved as school work at school is a bit more stressful then being at home since at home you get to work on your own time. Being at home helped me improve my other talents like baking and cooking for example. Most of the women on my dads side learned how to cook and bake at a very young age and have been trying to pass it down to me as I am the next generation. I am so grateful to have these skills because I know that I will need it to help me in the future. Another plus to this lock down is that it helped me get along with my family in my bubble and also extended family because we do video chats every Friday night just to check in with everyone. We even sometimes play games online such as Among us. Remember to stay home and stay safe. Also stay positive better days are on their ways.

Emma Twigg

Task description: This task was a take that I got a few weeks before lock down but never really came around to finishing. So I took it upon myself to finish it off properly. By the way the diet plan at the end is what I think, the diet is based on the sport she does which is rowing. 

Advertising Poster

Task description: Our Literacy task for today was to create a poster advertising an item in our hour. As you can see I picked Bug spray. I though it would be a fun and interesting thing for me to do my poster on. I tried my best to point out the cheap price because I've seen on many other advertisements for things, they always make the price stand out so that people will by it. 

Persuasive Writing

Statement: Hippos should have to wear deodorant while walking the streets of LA

Hippos, like any animals, can produce a foul odor that is not only unpleasant for other animals but also harmful to humans and the environment. According to studies, the deodorant that hippos are given not only smells good but also improves the environment. It is scientifically proven that this hippo deodorant makes trees and plants grow faster. For example you have a wild hippo walking around, when they come into contact with any type of plant it is proven to actually grow faster. 

The hippos benefit from this deodorant because it helps them attract female or male hippos, depending on the flavor. All of the berry flavors, for example, attract female hippos, while others, such as watermelon or apple, attract the males. It's proven that now over 82% of hippos are now using this product which not only leaves them smelling good for other hippos it is also great for humans. 

This product actually was proven in a recent study that it helps hippos live longer than their normal life span which is about 40-50 years. It extends that by a few hundred years. It enters the skin cells and goes to it's heart and lungs and makes it better and stronger. It also helps them walk around the hot streets of LA for a long time without needing water around them all the time. It also benefits all of their thick skin by keeping the cells feeling and looking young and wrinkle free.

I hope you now know why Hippos should have to wear deodorant while walking the streets of LA

Task Description: Hello everyone this was my writing task from last week that I decided to finish off. As you can see from the title this writing was a Persuasive piece. Just saying if you can't already tell all these stats and everything in this piece is made up so none of it is real. This was overall really fun piece of writing because we were given a bit of freedom of what we were going to write about which I really enjoy.

My all about me Poster

Task Description: This is another finish it off task that I decided to finish. For this task we had to show some of the things that make us who we are. As you can see for me I put my two culture flags in the center which are the Samoan flag on the left side and my Tokelauan flag on the right. On the bottom of my flags I have put my active side which is me going on runs around my block in the mornings, and some of the sports I play. Now on the top part I have put my lazy/free time side, which is more of gaming and eating. And lastly I put my name in the center. It is actually a big part of who I am because I am the third generation of my name so it is pretty special to me. 

Kei hea a Amo? ( Where is Amo?)

 Walt: Understand, and use, location words 

Task Description: Today since we have again gone into lock down unexpectedly I decided to finish off some work. This is one of the tasks that I got assigned during rotations.  

Extension Term 3

Task Description: Today in Extension we had a talk with what a controversial topic was and through out some ideas. Me and my groups main focus was umpires and referees. Stuff like "how are they picked to umpire/ref Olympic games? " and also things like " how do you know they aren't biased?"  

We have just went over what the umpire/refs job was and what they are meant to be doing. We also covered what types of sports they ref. Take a look at our slides to see what their job really is, and some facts about them. We are going to be adding on so stay tuned for that.
