my hero

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is my hero because we play the same sport and he plays in the team that I like and he is my favorite player. 

Our identity threads connect because we are both Maori, we both like league and he plays for the New Zealand kiwis I would like to play for the New Zealand Kiwis.

procedural writing

League is a contact sport and you need to know the basics like how to tackle, pass, run and kick if you are a kicker if you want to play. the most important thing to learn in league is to tackle because our coach always says if they can’t get through. So if someone was running at you go low if he is way bigger than you but if he is the same size go for the waist. but if there are two people one go up high and one go low. Next, you need to learn how to pass so there are lines on the ball and you need to put one finger on all of the lines and pass. The next one is running so what you do is raise one leg and then extend it then put it on the ground.

This week we have been doing procedural writing. procedural writing is a step by step peace of writing.

IT IS NOT DONE

my last run

my last ran in taiao. What I have learned for the run is never take the easy way out like the day after cross country we did our run. Also, my mental grit waking up every day thinking that I might do a 2.8 run today. knowing that I am getting fitter by my graph and knowing that I'm fitter than most NewZealanders. saying yes to do the run every day and not bring a note so I don't have to it. I think that me doing a run every day improves my school work. At the start, I thought that this was a waste of time but now I have seen the imprint in my school work and all my sports and now I know that it is not a waste of time. I have run 164 kilometer 

Social Studys Poll Tax

My opinion on the Poll Tax: It’s dumb to judge people on their race but all the other people got in for free they just targeted the Chinese.

Why was it targeting Chinese: Because they’re racist.

What is a poll tax? Its charging people to come into the country based on who they are. For example a person from China would be charged but people from Europe would not be charged.

Did they ever get paid back: Yes you can apply and get funding for community projects like the Kumara chinese gardens.

What was the yellow peril: The Yellow Peril is a racist colour-metaphor. Basically saying the Chinese were bad and you shouldn't let them in to your country.

Social Studies the Vietnam war

the vietnam war

Capitalism Communism

What happen in the vietnam war the north wanted sped Communism to the south but the south
didn't want Communism and the north and south went to war. And the usa didn't want
Communism to spread into usa. The americans got ambushed by agent orange.     

The peace movement

So every day in America they said on tv all the people that have died in
One day, and people were sick of it so they started to protest and that was a bad
I dear because on may the 4 1970 the ohio post gared started to shoot the protesters
and killed 4 students on may the 9th 1970 100 thousand people were protesting outside
the White house but then they started shooting again and killed 2 people so the government
killed people for disagreeing with them   .

What was new Zealand's involvement in the vietnam war.

The reason New Zealand went to the vietnam war is because of the anzus treaty
and we wanted to stay friends with america and that was the only war that were not with
the queen

Mining on conservation land should be banned!

The only reason the government might ban mining on

conservation land is because they are mining our native

bush and if we don't stop mining on conservation land there

will be no land for our native wildlife because most of our land will

be holes. Mining is dirty because it is just a big gravel hole

and all these big metal machines and smoke everywhere so what would you

rather lots of smoke and metal or lots of bush and trees. Some of the mining site

are on conservation land but some aren't so we are protecting all our bush

and there are still some mine for the miners

If we don't stop mining on conservation land it will affect our tourism

because we will have not have much bush and Glaser's but if we don't

stop all the smoke that we are producing it will kill the Glaser's and that is

one of new Zealand biggest tourism spots. Even if we are making a lot of

money for mining we will still be losing money for no tourism.

(by the way, I do not believe this did I convince you)
