Thank you Ma’am: Response to text

This week for literacy, we have been reading a book called “Thank you ma’am” written by Langston Hughes. This was made in the 90s and was really enjoyable to read. I loved reading this book and I learnt what conflicts are and what kind there are! Anyways, I found this task challenging but I still enjoyed doing it!

BEDMAS

Today for maths, we were using BEDMAS to solve our maths problems. I found this really challenging and atleast I figured it out in the end. Please leave a positive comment on my blog !

Introduction to Algebra!

Last week for maths, we were learning about algebra and we also learnt how to solve the equations. The one thing that I found most difficult was using B.E.D.M.A.S for the first time. If you didn’t know, B stands for brackets, E stands for Exponents, D stands for division, M stands for multiplication, A stands for addition and S stands for subtractions. Anyways please leave a positive comment on my blog please!

Fluency & Expression reflection w/ Voice Recording

Today for reading, we were reading a book called ‘Afakasi Chameleon. We had to do a voice recording of us reading the book aloud, then we had to do our rubric seeing how fluent and expressive we were! I scored myself a 12 out of 16. Thank you and please leave a positive comment on my blog!

Extension – Manaiakalani Film Festival Script

Narrator – 1 Narrator – 2

 

  • Prime minister walks into his office and sees a letter from the kids of Pt England School –

 

Prime minister : Hm? What is this interesting letter?

  • The Prime Minister continues to open up the letter and says “ohhh?”

 

Dear Future Government 

 

On behalf of our school, we would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. But there are things that should be changed. Here are some things that us pt england students would like to share with you, that we think should change…

 

Things that are important to ( 11- 13 yr olds)

 

We might look tough and that negative things can’t hurt us, but these hurtful words can really affect our mental health. Which is a problem for a lot of people and could lead to depression and trust issues. This nonsense needs to stop because this is actually a thing that happens to people on a daily basis!  

 

Issues that may be important to our parents, aunts, uncles and teachers.

 

A problem that may need to be solved is how older people have to take bigger responsibility by taking care of younger ones! But since the prices of most things have gone higher it may be hard. So this is one thing that needs to change back to its normal, Please make this happen! 

Issues that may be important to people who are retired (65+)

 

For retired people they might also need support in what they do. For example they may need help with things with taxes, insurance, and more. 

 

Issues that are important to toddlers. 

 

Toddlers can be really picky and spoiled throughout their childhood which stresses the parents! Here’s some advice that us pt england students would like to share with you! First, 

 

You are doing an amazing job as our prime minister, all we ask is that you consider these things! Thank you, God Bless!

 

Your’s Truly, Pt England School.

 

Prime Minister: Wow! This letter is amazing, 

 

Task Description: Today for extension, we were working on our Manaiakalani film festival script! In my group it was me, Lynette, Eleni and Legacy and we were all working on this together.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy my blog about our script and please leave a positive comment on my blog!
