Addition and Subtraction Problems

 We have been learning to solve addition and subtraction problems using  place value. We had to complete these problems using this strategy. I feel good because I am getting better at using this strategy.

My Speech.

My speech is kiwis I chose this topic because kiwis are important.

When I presented my speech I felt good. What I did well was use expression.

What I could have done better was use eye contact.

My Speech:

Have you ever wondered why Kiwis are important to New Zealand?  Kiwis are a flightless bird that are native to New Zealand. I believe that Kiwis are important to New Zealand. Here are my 3 reasons why.

Firstly kiwis lay big white eggs some people steal the eggs and take the eggs away and keep the eggs safe. They do this so animals such as dogs and stoats don’t destroy. They protect them until they are big enough to release.

Secondly, the Kiwi is a special New Zealand native animal.  They only live in New Zealand and tourists, as well as NZ people, come to see them in our native forests using their red torches.  We keep them safe in the Zoo so everyone can see them.

Finally, Kiwis are an icon for New Zealand.  We have a kiwi bank. We use an image of the kiwi on lots of products and sports teams. We even have beer bottles that have kiwis on it. 

I believe that the kiwi are very important. We should look after our kiwis before the kiwis get extinct.
