Speeches

My Speech:

O lou igoa o Eric, e sefulu tasi ou tausaga. Ou te fia tau atu le manaia o Samoa.

Translation  

My name is Eric, I’m 11 years of age, I am talking about why you should go to the beautiful Samoa and there landmarks.

In Samoa there are two main islands called Upolu and Savaii. If you go to Upolu, Upolu is where the capital Apia is. The people in Upolu take a big ferry boat to go to Savaii. Samoa has many waterfalls that really cold breezy. Samoa is a lovely country, happy and freedom people.

Beautiful air surrounding with coconuts, paw paw. Even if you feel hungry, families will make food for you. Friendship and communication with each other. That's why I love the beautiful Samoa. There culture is unique to their island and very religious. There foods are yummy because it’s done in the traditional way which is umu.

Have you heard about Robert Louis Stevenson Museum. This museum is really old, I think that we can look after the landmarks, it is not me or you but it is everyone or the people of Samoa. It is simple to do this, do just have to look after landmarks in Samoa.   

Today for speeches I worked with Micaiah, Tai and Sa Kae, They worked collaborative tougher to give me a score. As you can see from my speech on top, part of it is in Samoan. As can you see at the bottom there a rubric that was mine for my Speech. When you see my rubric I am in the class finals, I think that I can improve from the Expression and all the stuff.

What Killed All The Dinosaurs

LI: Conflicting Information

Meteorite	Volcanoes	Ice Age
Probably the most widely known theory, the asteroid impact theory maintains that a meteorite roughly the size of the Isle of Wight crashed into the Earth’s surface, 65 million years ago. The impact triggered a series of powerful earthquakes and forest fires, as well as a number of continental landslides. Combined with the debris that was, according to Dr Joanna Morgan, “ejected at high velocity into the atmosphere” the planet was plunged into darkness, causing a global winter that killed off many of the living species on Earth.	The super volcano theory argues that the asteroid impact was merely a prelude to a number of volcanic eruptions that occurred in an area in India named the Deccan Traps. Researchers have discovered four separate waves of eruptions that released huge clouds of sulfur dioxide into the air, bringing showers of acid rain in turn. These waves are estimated to have occurred between 67.5 and 65 million years ago.`	A team from Holland and Italy discovered fossilised cold water plankton that dates back 65 million years in an area that had previously been warm see in Tunisia. Dinoflagellates and Benthic Foraminifera plankton were found in the first time-dated fossils that provide clear evidence of climate swings. Matthew Huber of Indiana’s Purdue University said: “The fossils indicate that something suddenly made the water cold enough to support these tiny critters.”

Comments

The volcano because when the volcano erupts they don’t have enough time to escape. The strong smoky air that they breathe in. Or when they have showers of acid it easy for the acid to target them directly.

I think that the volcano might have have killed the dinosaurs because it’s the dinosaurs could have been hanging around the mountains. Also having the lava killing them.

This is Tai and my DLO on What Killed All The Dinosaurs. We had to read a text that Mrs Kirkpatrick shared with us. Then we got a task to share and write comments underneath.
