Cross country

Here is my cross  country recount from yesterday 

 

Addition and subtraction problems

We have been learning to solve addition and subtraction problems suing place value. We had to complete these problems using this strategy. I feel happy that I can use this strategy.

My speech

My speech topic is kiwi. I chose this topic because kiwi are in danger. When I presented my speech I felt COOL. What I did well was I was confident. What I could have done better was use eye contact.    

My Speech:

Did you know kiwi are dying? Kiwi are birds that some say used to fly. Kiwi are brown, have a long beak, little wings and strong legs. Kiwi live in the forest or bushes. The Kiwi is used to represent NZ and it’s the names of some sports teams.

Firstly kiwi are dying because people are driving too fast around the corners and it kills the kiwi on the side of the road. SO LISTEN PEOPLE!! Slow down on the roads and around the corners. 

Secondly, kiwi are dying because of the drought. The kiwi’s to leave their burrows and travel to find water and this is dangerous. Kiwis have also needed to be rescued because of the drought.

Finally, I will tell you the last reason kiwi are dying. Kiwi are being killed by predators such as cats, dogs, stoats, rats and weasels. 

If kiwi weren't alive we wouldn't be able to be called Kiwis. I think we should look after the Kiwi in NZ.  I have a forest and I went into the forest and I saw a kiwis whole and I saw a kiwi.
