Dance!

On Saturday, my Auntie and I went to her Parish hall. I was in a Samoan Puletasi. It looked very pretty, it had red flowers with black outline and a white background.

We went past a lot of people standing next to their cars as we were going in the hall. Suddenly, we heard a loud “BOOM!” Loud music bounced in my ears, it was so loud I could still hear it even if I covered my ears. We sat down and made ourselves comfortable. There were not as many people coming into the hall as I expected.

Then a man walked in front of us with a microphone thanking us for coming. He said that there will be performances and they will be serving us cups of tea later. The first performance was by a girl  and her mother. It was pretty  good. The next person who performed was a lady and she was amazing! I tried to copy some of her moves but they were too hard.

Then the moment came for me to perform. I was so nervous that I felt like I was shaking from the inside. But since there weren't that many people there, my nervousness faded away. I started to run  towards the centre of the hall with my bare feet because that is our culture. I did my very best to make my auntie proud of me. I was so proud of myself and before I knew it I had finished my dance. When the program was finished, we had a cup of tea and doughnuts. It was yummy!

Finally, we said Goodbye and we went home. It was a long day for me but it was definitely a fantastic Saturday.

Propagating plants!

WALHT: Carry out and record a scientific investigation.

Definition: Propagation of seeds is the development of creating new plants with different resources.

Propagating a plant or seedling

Materials

• 1 plastic cup
• 1 pin/compass point or a sharp point
• dirt
• pebbles/drainage
• seedling/seeds

Procedure

1. Firstly, grab your pin or your compass or any sharp object you can get and poke holes at the bottom of your cup
2. Secondly, Test your cup if it drains the water out
3. Thirdly, Layer the inside bottom of your cup with pebbles for your drainage
4. Add ¾ of dirt
5. And lastly create a hole that will fit your seed/seedling, then add a little bit more dirt to cover any exposed roots or your seeds.

Hypothesis

I think that my plant will propagate and survive through the next couple of days.  

Thank you, Mum!

Rest in peace, George!

George is a hero who defended 5 children from the two larger pit bulls and put himself at risk to save the children. After several severe bites on his back, sadly George was in so much pain that the vet decided George would not recover from these injuries and put him to sleep.

What kind of actions did George use?  

George  a small Jack Russell terrier, could sense the danger that the children were in, and knew he had  to protect them. He rushed up to the bigger dogs and barked at them allowing enough time for the children to escape. This shows the reader that he was determined to save the children, and that he was brave.   Putting himself at risk showed also that he was courageous.

In reading this article I have been learning to combine close  reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of people known as heroes or leaders.
