Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my maths create task for this week.
This week the goal for maths was: Solve problems with fractions, decimals, proportions and ratios using a broad range of strategies (Addition & Subtraction PV Decimal) and (Express remainders as fractions, decimal or whole numbers)

That was my create task for the week. Do you know how to work out percentages? 

Writing

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I am showing you my writing create task. This week we have been working on speeches. The topic of my speech is: Zero hunger. This is my favorite paragraph.

66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone. That is more than 3 times the people that are in NZ. Imagine if that was all of NZ. Everyone that you know would be starving. Your friends would be starving. Your family would be starving. You would be starving. But luckily it's not you. It's 66 million others. That's 66 million children aged around 5-11 going to school starving.  Imagen if you had to go to school or work without breakfast and probably  without lunch as well. How would you feel? That's how 66 million children feel everyday.  If there are 23 million children starving just in Africa right now imagen how much that number will grow in even 6 years if we don't do something about it. But that's not it. Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness.

That was my favorite paragraph of my speech. Do you think that it was good?

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my writing create task for this week.
the goal for this week is: Create content that is concise and relevant to the curriculum task and Selects words and phrases to enhance meaning and/or mood

Zero hunger

66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.  That's 66 million children aged around 5-11 going to school starving.  Imagen if you had to go to school or work without breakfast and probably  without lunch as well. How would you feel?  That's how 66 million children feel everyday.  If there are 23 million children starving just in Africa right now imagen how much that number will grow in even 6 years if we don't do something about it. But that's not it. Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease.

Did you know that poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five and approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year. That's a lot of people dying just because they can get enough food and it's not only a problem in developing countries, it’s spreading because of how much people today consume. Right now someone is struggling to feed their children while some else is enjoying a feast.

The problem is huge, it's an overwhelming crime and it definitely seems daunting, engulfing. Food is part of what keeps us alive and why should we have to give up some of our food? But if the world continues to feed the wealthy while the poor can't even afford food, then imagen how we will be living in 18 years. Do you want your children, grandchildren growing up where food is something that they have to fight for? Didn't think so. 

This problem is not just people dying because of hunger. There are also a lot of problems that low nutrition causes. Such as, if you don't have enough food then your immune system grows weaker or you might run out of engeny. 

Thanks for reading my create task. What do you think of zero hunger?

The witch and the chicken bone

Hi, welcome back to my blog. today I will be showing you my writing task for this week. This week we have been continuing on from the Hansel and Gretel sentences and I have some new ones to show you.

The little old lady

Complex sentences

The old lady stood there hunched and smiling. She seemed kind with her bright colors and cherry face. Her wrinkled face saged in places and her glasses sat perched on her nose.  

The children looked at the old lady with grey silky hair with bright cherry clothes. In hand she held a walking stick and on the other arm hung a bag. 

As soon as the children looked at the old lady they noticed that her ears dripped down almost to her shoulders and her nose stuck out like pinocchio. Her eyes were half covered by her wrinkly cheeks and her eyebrows barely gave shape to her face anymore.

Dialogue

“Come come come inside” as she cleared her voice. Gretel went to answer but her brother bet her to it. “ we shouldn't talk to strangers”. He stated. “ The old lady smiled. “ I thought that you would want some more candy”. “That's ok though. More for me”. She croaked. 

“What are you doing to my house”? Cried the old lady. “ we thought that no one lived here”. Replied Gretel. “We were so hungry and we have been wandering around the forest for so long,” added hansle. “ thats ok then come inside and we can have a nice chat over tea and biscuits”. 

“My house, my beautiful house. What have you done to my beautiful house.” The children looked at the old woman crying over the candy house that they had just destroyed. Hansel was the first to speak. “ we were just nibbling on it. We thought that the owner wouldn't mind.”  “ well I do mind. Here come inside and we can discuss how you can repay me.” The lady said.

Adverbial phrases

She hobbled towards the house beckoning to the children to follow. The children were quick to follow her inside but soon found out that they could have taken their time because she moved as slow as a sloth.

She slowly moved with as much grace as an elephant towards the children. Her walking stick seemed to be the only thing holding her up. Finally she made her way to the children and just in time, it looked as if her walking stick would collapse. 

She slowly came towards the small children. Taking one small step at a time. It looked as if her walking stick would collapse at any moment.

Hansle in a cage, Gretel as a servant.

The witch feeding the hansle

Sentence 1

The witch fed Hansle all sorts of wonderful treats to fatten him up.  Delicious desserts, scrumptious sweets and crunchy candies. He grew and grew and grew. Big, bigger and bigger, fat, fatter and fattest. Every day the witch feed him. There were gallons of grape juice and cartons of cranberries. Every day the witch came to cheek how fat hansle had got. Lucky Hansel and his sister Gretel who served as a servant came up with a plan to save Hansle. Each time the witch came and asked to see how fat Hansle had become Hansle simply stuck out a chicken bone instead.   

Sentence 2

Every day Hansle grew. He got bigger and bigger, fatter and fatter, larger and larger and wider and wider, soon he was the biggest, fattest, largest, widest boy in the world and still the witch fed him. Every day he got cheesy chips, creamy chocolate and melted marshmallows.  The only reason the witch had not eaten him was because every time the witch told him to stick out his hand so that she could see how fat he was he just showed her a skinny chicken bone.

Sentence 3

Hansle started to grow and grow.  Every day the witch came to his cage and gave him gigantic gingerbread, juicy grapes and crisp cookies. Hasle grew bigger and bigger then wider and wider. Soon he was the biggest widest fattest boy Gretel had ever seen. The only way that Hansel was still alive is because every time the witch went to Hansle to check if he was fat enough to eat he showed her a skinny chicken bone instead.

That was my create task for this week. Have you read Hansel and Gretel before?
