Water Explanation.

Why do you need to keep water clean?

So that the water of the earth can be clean and healthy, other many people have been

wasting water. It’s important to keep water away from that type of rubbish, when drinking water

make sure you stay healthy. Many people have not been taking care of clean water.

Drinking water, also known as potable water, is water that is safe to drink or to use for

when you eat.

For Example, all the animals including plants need to live. How do they live? They need water.

Plants have specific needs: light, air, water, nutrients, and space to survive and reproduce.

Almost all plants need these five things to survive, light. Water is one of the most important

substances for life on earth to function. It is equally important for humans as well as animals.

Even though the earth consists 70% of water, we could only use an extremely small part of it,

like when we drink water. 97% of the water is salty, like in the beach. 2% of the water is frozen.

Water covers about 71% of the earths surface. Water is a precious resource found on earth.

It is very essential to us. It is used in our daily needs like drinking, washing the clothes.

Water is inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance.

It's also too polluted to swim in and three quarters of native freshwater face. We need water for

drinking, cooking, bathing and cleaning. without water, life would be impossible on the planet.

Water is found on earth in the form of rivers, oceans, seas, ponds, lakes, streams and glaciers.

The composition of water remains the same throughout the earth.

Tongan History.

 The video I watched was about Tongan people wearing Ta’ovala. In the video it shows Tongan people wearing them including their own tupenu and kafa. You're probably wondering what a Kafa is? A Kafa is similar to a rope. It could be hardened and also soft, it is also something that wraps around your waist when you wear a Ta’ovala. Also about other important things in Tonga

You could also see them wearing it to church when you're there. Including your So-te as well. Doesn’t matter if you don’t have a Ta’ovala then just bring whatever you have like your Tupenu. They all wear it to any occasions that are special like a funeral, a dance, anything. When going to dances or Performances they wear Ta’ovala with leaves around their waist, also heaps of coconut oil on themselves.

The reason why they wear coconut oil is because it is a celebration of the symmetry of the human body as well as a mark of ancestral identity. When it comes to funerals, that’s like the saddest thing ever, because it’s one of your elders that passed on, or your family members. They’ll be put in a coffin, before that they clean the person up and get put in the coffin.

When Tongans go to a funeral, they are all dressed in black.

It’s the same, Tupenu, black so-te, and a Ta’ovala, Kafa. Those are the things you bring to a funeral. Another reason I have is that back in the day Tongans would always go overseas to fish and look for them while they go fishing, in their boat. They use the fishing rod or their own home made one to gather all the fish so that they don’t starve, so that they can fill their bodies up to stay energized.

Don't Let Go.

WALT: Write a narrative using dialogue.



Don’t Let Go!

Once upon a time, there was a woman trying to escape from the temple guards. All these weeks she’s been trying to escape, her name was Wendy. The day she escaped was yesterday night. As Wendy was in her cage she was thinking about how she can escape from the guards, at this point of time she had a pocket knife in one of her shoes.

Meanwhile, she started cutting the wooden sticks, it was also easy for her to break out. Wendy kept cutting until she got on her last one. Wendy crept out quietly without a sound. She then saw a carriage with the horses.
Wendy rushed to the horses smoothly.
All of a sudden the horses woke up making a lot of noises, Wendy went behind the carriage to hide from the guards as they were coming.

In addition, Wendy made her move. One of the guards walked away so the other one could deal with the horses. She killed the guard simultaneously! Wendy moved on to the other guard. She kicked him and cut his chest. She ran back to the carriage getting on the seat in front telling the horses to “hit the road”. They were rushing down the stairs, Wendy could n't see anything, back at the temple she left her shoe back at her cage.

This strange creature hopped on the carriage having a ride with Wendy. She didn’t know that a duck was on the front seat too, Wendy went flying still holding on to the ropes attached to the horses. She screamed with horror, her eyes were wide open, the lizard was holding on to one of the handlers on the side with one hand. Wendy was looking around to see where that noise was coming from, they were still rolling down the stairs.

“You look like a idiot with one shoe” said the lizard

“Hello, who was that” exclaimed Wendy. “How the hell did you get on”.

“Just keep looking forward and sit tight”.

“I can't, I'm still in the air, how do I get down?? Supposed Wendy.

“Why are you asking me, do I look like I know?

Wendy was thinking of how she could sit down. She had a smoldering intense face pushing herself towards the seat where the duck was sitting, meanwhile the duck was horrified when it looked back to Wendy. The duck screamed, Wendy managed to get on the seat. The lizard grabbed the duck and threw it away in the river, they were close to getting on the platform of the temple entry. As the lizard threw the duck into the river, the lizard laughed saying…

“Man that bloody duck was annoying”. “I would’ve killed that little duck for dinner”.

“Eeewww, disgusting”. “Why would you want to eat that?

“Because it looks delicious”. “Anyways, my name is Ben”.

They got off the carriage and headed somewhere to see if there was a shelter.

Wendy and Ben had to keep moving forward. In other words, there was no shelter? Wendy fell asleep to the ground feeling like she was knocked out! Ben was still looking forward. Suddenly, Ben looked to his right and saw Wendy on the ground. He looked if there was any help, but there wasn’t.

“I’m starving, we're never gonna find something to eat?

“Wendy. Wendy!! Oh damn, is she dead too. Well, I’m off”.

The next day Wendy woke up with a shocked face seeing the sun shining in front of her face. She then got up realizing that Ben was gone! What could have happened? Did the guards take him or something? Naahhhhh, they wouldn’t. If they did then they would take me so “yeah”.

Wendy continued her journey finding her way out of this strange place.

Unorganised Explanation W3T1.

Anyone has the ability to be a good daughter. By showing kindness, listening to your parents, and being helpful you are showing your parents that you love and respect them. What else can you do in your life to be a good daughter?

Another way to show that you are a good daughter is by your actions.  By being helpful around the house you are showing your parents that you respect them. For example, when you keep your bed made and your room clean you are showing that you respect your living space. This also comes into play when you complete your chores without being asked. So, when you wake up in the morning or get home from school, immediately vacuum the house, put away the dishes and take out the rubbish.

It is very important to always show kindness towards your parents. Although this can be difficult at times, it is important to show kindness to your parents because it shows that you respect them. For example, when you really want to go somewhere with your friends and your parents tell you that you have to stay home and look after your little siblings, it is important to remember that your parents have your best interests in mind.

Another way to be a good daughter is to talk nicely to your parents. By telling them how much you appreciate them, and answering back in a positive manner you are showing your parents how much they mean to you. When your parents ask you to do something it is important that you listen and respond in a timely and respectful manner. For example, when mum asks you to put away the laundry, you should immediately respond by saying, “yes mum” as you stand up and put the laundry away without a scowl on your face.

All these things will help you to do all of this and it will amaze your parents,
in fact don’t just be lazy and sit down doing nothing when there’s heaps of chores to do.
Stay hydrated so that you can clean up the whole house, don’t give up on your parents too,
because they are the ones that tell you to do the dishes, and other stuff that needs to be clean. 

Another way of being a good daughter is to take charge and responsibility so that your siblings can look up to you, they’ll want to become like that person. An example, take care of the little things, because it might get worse if you don’t take care of it.

 Having a better daughter, being reasonable and comfortable.

Picking Up Rubbish

The rubbish you pick up should go in the right bin so that we keep our environment
clean and to always be a tidy kiwi, the rubbish you have in your hand should go in the bin
that suits the rubbish, it’s better to put it in the right bin because it’ll get mixed up.
picking up 1 rubbish is saving 1 turtle. Picking up all the rubbish is saving the(turtles)

Chuck it in the right bin 

Always make sure to put it in the right bin because when there’s no rubbish on ground,
you might get forced to pick it up when you're around teachers, don’t let them tell,
just pick it up.

Lead by example to show others how it’s like to pick up stuff off the ground,
people should be responsible for picking up the rubbish off the ground, because it’s
there. Do not leave your rubbish because it’ll be dirty and ugly so i suggest we clean the
mess up.

Don’t just do it at school (home, streets)

The bad things you do or your bad behavior during lunch & morning tea,
morning time should stay at home, why? Because we need to stay active on our work so
that we can have a healthy brain, the bad stuff you do won’t at all, that’ll just put
yourself down and everyone else in the room. Just encourage others to do the right thing
at school, but the behavior you have should be at home, if you have a bad one that is.

Teach others (whanau, neighbors) 

It’s better to teach others the (Point England Way) it’s how it acts and sounds like,
it sounds like putting people up so that they can have the spirit to do the good stuff.
What it means to be at school, for example if someone walks past and sees someone stuck,
they should go and help that person, taking responsibility is one. It’ll help you to find a
way to set things right.

Task Description: So what we did is that me and my partner came up with some ideas to fill in the topic. As we were writing, we were struggling to find some ideas to fill the paragraph in, it took some time to finish this task, it has really helped us write about words that were interesting. We also added some detail to make our writing look neat and nice.
