Market Day

Room 3 has been working hard to create, market and sell their products for Market Day, raising over $400! Well done to everyone who got involved!

Here are some of the products we made over the last 2 weeks:

Supporting Healthy Communities

We strongly agree that we should all donate to RHMC because of what they do to help children who are sick and have cancer. Every year RMHC offer nearly 3,700 families to have the chance to live at building for free. This helps people relieve stress like working for a place to stay near the hospital, cooking family meals and paying for a place for families to sleep. Therefore we should all donate to the RMHC to help support families when their child is in a hospital away from home.

Our opinion is that everyone should donate to the New Zealand Heart Foundation because the money that people donate to this society can save many lives which are at risk. The money also helps scientists to find a cure for a variety of heart problems and illnesses.  You can trust this society because on their website link it says “org” which stands for an organisation as well as that, there are some trustable companies supporting their charity like banks and world wide businesses like ‘Lotto’. In the United States there was about 610,000 people with many kinds of heart problems. So if you can help by donating some money to the New Zealand Heart Foundation it can save many Kiwi lives caused by these extremely dangerous heart issues.

We believe we all should donate to Plunket because with the money we donate they can help children and families who are in need of good health. Plunket provides much support for those who are in need of it. They help children and families recover from illnesses. They have been around for 111 years so they are really trustworthy, they are also principal partners with BNZ. Over the hundred years that they have been running, the Plunket Society mission has always been; “to ensure that New Zealand children are among the healthiest in the world.”

We strongly believe we should donate to Kids Can because they provide food, clothes and basic healthcare for all needy children who can fall ill with a variety of illnesses. We also need to donate money to Kids Can so they can go to school and have access to learning and an education. When you make a donation of $5 or more, you can claim up to a third of the amount back from Inland Revenue. And even better news, you can claim on any donations made over the past four years. You can keep this as a reward for your good deed or donate it back to a cause you feel passionate about. Evidence proves that this site is 100% safe! Many other schools also support Kids Can. Over 290,000 Kiwi children live in hardship. You can keep this as a reward or donate it back to a cause you feel passionate about.

We all should all donate money to Kidsline because it gives children someone to talk to on the phone when things aren’t going right. Kidsline is a nonprofit organisation, which means Kidsline relies on donations to operate. Kidsline is a good organisation, their website is safe but they aren’t very well known. Although we think we should donate to Kidsline because it is vital that kids feel safe and secure. They, also, might not get this feeling at home because of bullying, child abuse, etc. Kidsline helps kids feel loved and feel that they have a friend who they can talk to as a Kidsline buddy.

WALT write engaging speeches

This week, students in Room 3 have been working hard on their speeches. They focused particularly on using specific language techniques to engage the audience and make their ideas memorable. We looked at different examples of speeches made by famous figures as well as ordinary people to understand what goes into a good speech. 

Take a look at some of their work. See if you can find examples of language like using first and second person, repetition, asking rhetorical questions, the rule of three and using anecdotes.
