Current Events - Olympics

Today we looked at an article about a New Zealander ( Nikki Hamblin) who tripped and a person from the other team ( Abbey D'agostino ) who helped her up in the middle of the race. Abbey D'agostino showed an excellent example  of sportsmanship and fair play. Abbey is a true hero by helping up someone in the olympics even though they were competing against each other.  In this DLO I included the When, where, who, what, why and how. I also included the point of view for the different perspectives. What Abbey did was truly showing fair play and sportsmanship. Would you stop to help her even though you were in a race? From this article I  learnt that Nikki tripped because someone else tripped her which made her stop running and Abbey saw that she was injured so she helped her up and told her that they needed to finish the race together.

Big Sleep Out

Today, we were doing the current events on the big sleep-out that has been happening in Auckland. This article was about the life wise people getting people to fundraise for the homeless people by sleeping on cardboard in there sleeping bags. There goal was to raise $400,000 but raised more. I learnt that people slept on the rough grounds to support the homeless. It is important to know whats happening at the moment or happening around the world. This is a really important event especially for the homeless people.

Current Events - The bus strike

This is Cecilia and I's current events on the bus strike that happened on the 19th of February until the 20th on friday ( 24 hours ). I was learning how to summarize a current event using the 5 w's. We first read the article and had to answer the main questions. The bus drivers chose to strike because they wanted to give there boss a strong message or because they wanted to let the public know. We then had to write what the author wanted us to learn from this article. We wrote a point of view to explain how it affected them. The people who were using the bus would feel frustrated because they have to use there vechiles and wait for traffic of make new plans so they can get where they want to go. We got our information from these websites:
