Bombing Of The Rainbow Warrior Ship

Unfortunately the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior affected a lot of people. Overall this was a very tragic event that took place on Marsden Wharf July 10th, 1985. The French spies were sent from the French government to blow up the ship because, the Greenpeace crew were going to French Polynesia to protest against nuclear bombing. But the French didn't like that. So they decided to blow up the boat to stop them from protesting.

People on the ship were having a party to celebrate the 29th birthday of the director for the anti-nuclear movement. But little did they know French spies secretly swam to the bottom of the Rainbow Warrior, then attached two limpet bombs. People on board were oblivious to what was happening. Sometime later the lights flickered and the people thought that another ship had hit them. But no, the ship had been bombed.

Water came rushing inside the boat, “Abandon ship, Abandon ship!” yelled Pete Willcox, the captain. In a state of panic almost everybody escaped. Unfortunately Fernando Pereira was the only one left on the ship but sadly died minutes after the bomb went off.

The spies were arrested and sent to jail for ten years. After they were sentenced the French Government called New Zealand and asked if they could have the French spies, and put them in their jail. If the New Zealand government didn't give them to the French, they would stop buying their products. The New Zealand government thought about it then gave the spies. But the French people only kept them in their jail for 2 years. When they came out of prison they were classed as heroes, when really they hurt a lot of people.

My DLO For My Maths

My group is working on some new strategies and I chose to do a DLO to show that I know this strategy. For example, a painter uses 6 cans of paint to paint 2 fences. How many cans of paint does he need to paint 9 fences (all the fences are the length).

First I need to draw a line to separate the cans of paint and the fences. At the top we write 6 because he uses 6 cans to paint 2 fences, at the end of the line we leave that space blank because we want to know how many cans of paint he needs to paint 9 fences.

Secondly we need to write at the bottom 2, because he paints 2 fences using 6 cans of paint, next we have to write 9 at the end of the line because he needs to paint 9 fences. To get the answer I have to do 2x3 which equals 6, next I have to do 3x9 and that equals 27. So I know that he needs 27 cans of paint to paint 9 fences. This is really quite easy when you get to know this strategy.

My Reflection About My Movie

Mya, Sapphire and I made a movie about love. What did I like about our movie? Well... a lot of things actually. But what I like the most is the angles/shots that we took. The close up, mid shot and the side shot were really good and went well together. It was great to have good ideas from my group members.

Even though the year 5's did really well, we think that if we had year 7 or 8 students in our movie, we would get better quality of acting. But overall we think we all did a good job.

Martin Luther King's Speech

Hook: Standing amongst the huge crowd I could sense hope. In 1963 August 28th Martin Luther King (aka MLK) made his speech to try and unite all of us together, and try to make it equal for the black and white people of the United States Of America.

DESCRIBING- All black people were there to support each other and make a change, people were trying to make the country a better place for all people. Martin Luther King tried to make equal rights for everybody so that all the states could come together and make one safe and happy country.

EFFECTING US- If we were black kids it will affect us in so many ways such as, being slaves for white people and they don’t pay you. using the public toilets when you need to go to the toilet, using different water fountains, segregated and many things that black people can’t do.

The white people demand all black people to sit at the back of the bus. White people get 10x more funding than the black peoples school.

My Strategy For Decimals And Fractions

This is my presentation that I have been working on and it has my strategies that will help me throughout my decimal and fraction questions.

My Maths Goal For Term 3

My maths goal for this term is to be confident with division, because I still have a little bit of trouble with it.

Pinocchio And The Three Little Hobbits

Once upon a time there lived a special little wooden boy named Pinocchio. Pinocchio had everything that he had ever wanted, fame, friends and fortune.

One day this all changed when three little hobbits became really good friends with him. They had discovered that Pinocchio was a rich wooden young man and had plans to rip him off.

Unfortunately Pinocchio had foolishly told them his pin number 0800 232323 for where all his gold and money was stored. He thought that he could trust them. The three little hobbits went to his safe and took all his gold and money.

The following morning Pinocchio woke up and discovered that he had been robbed. Not only did he get robbed but he also noticed that the three hobbits were missing. He looked around his own little castle but couldn’t find the hobbits or any sign of his gold and money.

After he heard all his friends cheering outside his huge castle, he walked outside to see what was going on. He reached the door and heard the three little hobbits bickering over what they done to Pinocchio.

He had opened his door really slowly thinking that the hobbits would eventually give his gold and money back.

When the door was open, all of his old friends gave him a stern look. Meanwhile the hobbits started looking at Pinocchio nervously. Pinocchio just stood there looking angry, as soon as he spotted the hobbits he turned red standing there perhaps rather mental.

After the three little hobbits had noticed that Pinocchio was going purple by not breathing one bit, Pinocchio stood there very still after a while he fainted badly. The hobbits picked him up then they put him on his couch.

As soon as Pinocchio awoke he found the three hobbits, his friends, his money and gold that he had saw standing right next to him, flinching at him as if he would never forgive him. But once he saw how sorry and upset they were he had felt sorry for them. He said to the hobbits “Even though I feel really sorry for all of you, I still will never forgive you for what you have done!”.
