The past few days I have been reading a book called the Vege car. You can find it in the School Journal part 3 number one 2007.

The story was about a man that made his car run on vegetable oil instead of normal fuel.

One of the questions I had to answer on the task sheet that I was given was: has this text shown how important it is to save the environment? How?Explain your answer. I think that what he is doing is great for the environment because in the book it says that the vegetable oil that he is using is 100% good for environment.

The book I read was  school journal part 2 number 3 2003
our W.A.L.T was  to  read comprehend the text

the story I read was less than one second.


the story is about 2 kids named Ashley and Shiree that like
to race slot cars.
7. the teacher asked Is it complicated to make the slot cars? Why? and I said I think that it is hard because you have to make sure that everything is connecting and is clean and I think that it is hard to get into all the tight spaces like the gears and braids

What I learnt this week

This week I have learnt that gasses in the atmosphere that surround planet Earth absorb and release inferred radiation, and that our planet is warming up and that the warming could have a huge impact on the Antarctic marine life food circle.

This article was about Maori and Pasifika students failing national standards and most of them being Maori and Pasifika students. This  article was written by Kate Shuttle-worth .

I think that the writing was good because it uses good quotes from people.  Also the Education Minister Hekia Parata said that 1 in 5 students are failing. Maori and Pasifika students are making up much of the under achievement but I don't think that it is fair to just blame Maori and Pasifika  because it could be other ethnicities.

Liz Gordon an independent researcher found 74 percent are male that are failing but I don't think that it is just boys because some girls like to chat with each other during class and don't know what to do.

I think that this article will get students and others to try and learn so that the Minister and other people say that it isn't Pasifika and Maori students that are failing  school and national standards also the government might think that the teachers are to blame because they pay they teachers to teach the students but if the kids aren't learning the teachers pay might be cut off they could be fired because the pupil isn't listening or behaving .
