Climate change

  I am learning to write an explanation. I understand that explanation is written in the third person, non-fiction/facts and written in presentence. It is kind of hard because you have to search for the facts before you could write an explanation but because we read about it and it was also our focus so it looks a bit easier.  

WALT write an explanation about climate change

How is climate change affecting our world?

Climate is what we expect. Climate is the average weather conditions of a particular region or country for a long period of time, approximately 30 years. Climate change started a long time ago as a result of nature’s activity such as volcanic eruption but now has been boosted by human activities such as the industrial revolution. 

Firstly, the industry requires a lot of energy, and it came from burning coal, a fossil fuel that releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. Burning fossil fuels for electricity and transportation remains the largest single source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Climate change is affecting our world with more frequent and intense storms, flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, and heat waves. As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe.

Next, the impact of climate change, if the world's greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, Earth’s climate will completely change significantly. The changing of the environment is expected to cause more of heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

Thirdly, people and climate change, the way people live produce only a very small amount of greenhouse gases. Then came in the industrial revolution, when large factories were built and cities around the world grew rapidly. Trees help keep our most problematic greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere.

In conclusion, climate change matters because it describes a change in the average conditions, such as temperature and rainfall, in a region over a long period of time. It informs us that what we do affects our environment badly and we can do something about it. Climate change occurs because of human activities like cutting down trees, driving cars and factories because there are lots of gases released into the atmosphere which heated our planet.

Fakapaheke ( The Slide )

 

I was retelling the story fakapaheke. This is a dual-language book but the teacher only read the Tongan story. It was really fun listening to and reading the Tongan story. We were able to discuss the story using the pictures and making connections with something that we know and listening and seeing words that we hear at home but finally can see the words. Love listening to and reading the Tongan story.

Fakapaheke

One day there was a young little boy named Alo. Alo and his family were at the park and Alo in the wheelchair wanted to go and play but Alo’s dad promised Alo to stay a bit and watch the children play around the playground.

After a while, Alo asked dad if Alo could go on the slide right beside the sandpit where no children were there. The slide was so bright that the color was silver and shiny, ALo wanted to show dad that he could do it, Alo

was too nervous to go on the silver and shiny slide, so Alo grabbed the corner of the slide to get up away from the wheelchair to make sure that he won’t need any help from anyone even his parents.

So Alo climbed up to the shiny slide he saw and slid down to the ground on his back. Alo asked dad for help when he was on the bottom of the slide because he wanted to go back up again. Dad was so impressed with

Alo going up and down the slide, Also Alo’s brother semi wanted to join going down the slide so Alo and Semi went up and down together on the shiny slide. Alo and family was so happy and dad was so proud of Alo being able to go on the slide by himself 

It doesn’t matter if he is in a wheelchair he still can play without any help when he is disabled. This book teaches us to look after everyone no matter what. It is open that we are being inclusive whether they are in a wheelchair or not.

My Pepeha

  

My Way

 I read Aroha's Ways then rewrite the story using my own words describing how I feel when I am happy and when I am sad.

 

Ko ha taʻahine au ʻoku ou saiʻia ke ʻalu ʻo fakatau he fakaʻosinga ʻo e

uike mo e ʻaho maloloo kotoa pe. ʻOku ou hoko foki ko ha taha fiefia, faitotonu,

ʻofa, mo tokoni.

How do you show happiness??

I show happiness by smiling every day, coming into the class in a beautiful mood, playing with other students when they don’t have any friends so that I get to know them more. Even though I don’t know them I just approach them so they have someone to play with.

‘Okú ke fakahaaʻi fēfē ʻa e mamahí??

ʻOku ou fakahaaʻi ʻeku loto mamahi ʻi heʻeku haʻu ki he kalasí ʻi ha faʻahinga ongo ʻoku ʻikai leleí, ʻo ʻikai lava ke vaʻinga mo ha taha, tangutu toko taha ʻi tuʻa pe ʻi loto, ongoʻi taʻelata, loto mamahi, pea mo tuenoa ʻiate au pē.

When Langiola is happy:

She shows loving and caring attributes

Always say mālō ē lelei with a big smile on her pretty face

She shows Faka’apa’apa, Mana tangata, Lototoo, Feveitokai’aki, Kaitiakitanga,

Manakitanga and ako and Tauhiva in everything she does

She feels  proud of herself

ʻI he taimi ʻoku loto mamahi ai Langiola:

ʻOku ne ongoʻi loto mamahi

ʻOkú ne ongoʻi loto mamahi

ʻOku ne ongoʻi mafasia

ʻOkú ne ongoʻi loto mamahi

ʻOku ne fakahaaʻi ha ongo kovi ʻaupito 

ʻOku ne fakahaaʻi ha ʻulungaanga kovi 

ʻOku ne fakahaaʻi ʻoku ʻikai fie vaʻinga ha taha mo ia

When Langiola is confident:

She can do anything she puts her mind into.

She takes a deep breathe in and out and then

She feels calm to speak in front of everyone

And she feels relaxed.

She feels brave and has the courage to try her best.
