My Speech

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog.
I am about to show you my speech.
My speech is about how our future  is going to end.
Have your Teachers or Parents ever told you that your future is going to end?
How is It going to end you may ask!
Well take sometime and read my speech.
Please leave a comment, about what you think I shoud work on.

Here is my speech
-
1.
Kia Ora my name is Ellie.
Have you ever taken one second to imagine what your future is going to be like?

2.
Well, I have a dream that in the future, I'm going to be a world famous rugby player.
That one day I'm going to be a master cook, and then the next I’m going to ride a great white shark for a living.

3.
 Oh yes doesn't my future sound amazing, full of hopes and dreams what about all those rainbows, butterflies and flowers.

4.
Well, it would be full of rainbows, butterflies and flowers if the world wasn't going to end, yes that's right humans have destroyed my future, crashed my hopes and dreams with your disrespectful and uncaring ways  for our wonderful planet.

5. You have infected the blood from all of the critters, humans and the living things  that walk on this earth. You've washed away my future with a tornado of plastic.
6. Yes humans are being greedy they are cutting down over 7 billion trees to make room for bigger and flasher buildings, you are getting more toys and video games that you

7.only play with once, buying bigger flasher cars to be better than everyone else but actually those cars are creating more greenhouse gasses, causing Icebergs to melt.

9.You! Your purched there all silent and innocent but you're the cause of this. Every time you ask your parents for a Big Mac from McDonald's,or when you go to the store to get staff just so u can sit their and play video games
8.All these problems add up to one thing, the end of my dreams, flooding my future, killing my butterflies, snatching the flowers from my garden of hope and who do I blame for this?

10.You are taking me one step closer to death. Hang on, what's that I see can, you see it, it’s a speck of hope and that hope is telling us that we can change. Change the way we act, change the way we think, change the way we live.

11.No more waiting for others to make the change… you as people could be responsible for the death of my future..

12. or you could save my future. Think about it people if my future is washed away, by the thing that people call living then, what will happen to yours?

I am going to do a blog post with me telling my speech with a slide.

Brush Ninja Animation

Today I was learning How to make a animation and how to insert it to my blog. I also learnt how to use this site because I only got told about it today but it was very simple.

I enjoyed making my animation because I lerned how to use another site called Brush Ninja. I also enjoyed watching my creation come to life.

I found it hard to insert the black on top of the white stars and to make sure that my blue backround was going to sute the light blue backround.

My animation shows the 9 matariki stars. It is also showing them shine at diffrent stages through out the night.

Next time I would change the colour of the stars and mabey try to see if I can make them shine abit brighter.

I love this site and I hope that I will be able to use this site again and learn more about it.

Go and have a go at creating a animation - brush ninja

Today in manauakalani I got better at using scrreencastify. I used screencastify to put my voice into my work so then u guys can look at my writing on the doc will I use my voice to read it to u guys which I think helps some people because some people just want to put the book down and listen to someone else read it to them. This is the writing piece that I did in writing it is an independent piece of writing about why kids should get screen time. I did this piece of writing trying to get it to a high level 4. Hope u liked it.

Meng And Our Haka

On the 14.5.19 Meng Forn came into our class to share what it is like being the mayor what impact it has had on his life and what impact, he has made on our town (Gisborne). 

We asked him how can our class have an impact and celebration of the te ha celebration because it is The 250th-anniversary commemorations will acknowledge the first formal meetings between Māori and Europeans on and off the coast of Tairawhiti in October. 

We also did the haka for him. So here are so videos of the Haka.

Hope you like it and comment on what would you do to be apart of the te ha Celebration.

Stepsweb and why I use it.

Do day I am showing what I use my computer at school for and how it helps my writing & how I am improving.

So I use this site called steps web (you should get it if you are not to keen on spelling).

I use it so I can get my spelling to the end of level 4 by the end of the year that is a massive goal because I am only up to level 2 so I got 2 more levels to do but I am working through that.

Steps web also helps with my writing it shows a difference since I started to use spets because my spelling is going up slowly but it is still going up.

I recommend you try using steps web to see if it helps u and your learning because it has totally helped me.

Comment and like but also tell me if steps web has made a difference in your life.
