When doing the high jump you need to get over the bar so you don’t get eliminated. It goes higher and higher until only one competitor remains.

This is how the competition works. The higher the band or bar the harder the challenge becomes.

Speech

In class, we had to do persuasive speeches mine is about Why having a cat is good for health? this it

Kia ora ko Sofia toku ingoa, No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.

Today I will be talking to you about why having a cat is good for your health. I have a 7 year old cat called Lily. She is a special breed called Abyssinian.  I got her 7 years ago and I was the one who chose her name. We got her just out of Kapiti and she is a very special family pet.  

Having an animal like a cat is good for your health. They are good for your health because they keep you active.  Spending time with your cat and playing with them using toys where they have to run and grab them before you move it, is an example of time you need to be active with them.  They give you love and there is research that shows that caring for animals helps people who suffer from depression. One in six New Zealand adults, or 16%, or...582,000 adults were diagnosed with depression according to the mentalhealth.org website for 2013. Do you think a cat will help with depression?   

Animals keep you active because you need to walk them, clean up after them and feed them. All these things take energy and commitment to be responsible. Being responsible makes you feel happy and needed.

Animals like my cat Lily give you love. This keeps you healthy because feeling loved is important for humans. It makes you feel happy and wanted. It improves your mental health. Petting your dog or cat can lower your blood pressure it helps your body release a relaxation hormone, and cuts down on levels of a stress hormone

Research shows that having an animal can help with depression. This helps your health because it gives sad people company and hope. It gives people joy and that can help people who are depressed.

Animals are amazing for your health. They keep you active, give you love and help people who suffer from depression. So if you want to be a happy and balanced person who has good mental health then get a animal. My recommendation is a cat.

Getting to know Sofia

Sofia's Self Portrait

We used an art technique called cross-hatching to create our self portrait this year. This technique creates more of a 3d effect which is what we were wanting rather than just colouring ourselves in. Miss O'B had an A3 black and white photo of us. First we had to colour our pupil, iris and cornea with appropriate colours. We then used 'people crayons' which are made with skin tone colours. Using the two closest colours to our skin tone, we cross hatched our face starting at our forehead and moving down to our neck. The hardest part was our nose.  We then coloured our hair, completed our school uniform and blocked out the background in a vibrant pastel colour so our faces stood out. So what do you think of my self portrait?

What Are Room 10's Super Powers?

This week we were challenged to think about how we could be a helpful citizen in Room 10 and what super powers we could use? If we are going to have a fantastic year, it is crucial we help each other out in times of need, when asked and by using our initiative. Here is a photo of our faces transformed into Super Hero's and a speech bubble with our thinking. On the speech bubble we have identified one super power we are already good at using and another one we want to get better at using. My super powers are to help people when they are stuck and to be confident in my self.
