 Activity 3: scaling new heights
 The SPCA helped protect over 40,000 animals in new Zealand a year they help animals that are sick, injured, abused or abandoned. Our SPCA Inspectors, Field Officers and rescue teams work on the front line every day, rescuing animals who have been in an accident, abused, neglected, abandoned or caught up in natural disaster. ​They provide a safe haven for sick, injured, abandoned and abused animals. We give them love, care and a roof over their heads until we can find them a new forever home. ​SPCA believes that engaging, educating and building relationships with our communities and government is key to improving animal welfare in New Zealand. Like you, we want every animal to receive the love and respect they deserve. Every year thousands of abused, neglected, and injured animals arrive in SPCA’s care. SPCA wants to make a real difference and break this trend of abuse, so our team developed a free education programme for schools and people working with children, to help change the hearts and minds of the future generation. Our SPCA Centres, animal hospitals and co-operating vet clinics are the first stop for all animals that come into SPCA care. Here we provide essential care and medical treatment to animals that are sick and injured, as well as routine health checks, vaccinations, microchips and desexing. SPCA is the only charity with the legal powers to help animals in need and bring animal offenders to justice. Our Inspectors are appointed under the Animal Welfare Act 1999 which provides powers to investigate cruelty, abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Ruby Adrift

Adrift


Story starter! 
Storm-clouds gathered all around him like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey. The thunder echoed through the night air, as streaks of silvery lightning illuminated the darkness. His boat was shaking as he shook in fear. The boat was thumping and bumping along the rough and stormy sea 
Question time! 
Imagine you are on a sinking ship. You have 1 minute to grab as many items as you can to take with you on a lifeboat. If you could take 10 items with you to help you survive and be rescued, what would they be? Can you rank the following 10 items in order of importance in helping you to survive

 a flare gun
 a whistle
an Emergency blanket
 a map
mobile phone
 a bottle of water
a rope
a bar of chocolate
 a fishing net
A mirror 


Perfect picture! 
Can you draw a picture of the man and the boat during the terrible storm?

 
Sentence challenge! 
Can you write a sentence containing a relative clause, starting with a noun? 
The ocean, which was usually his greatest friend, was now his worst enemy. Fish, which he usually hated eating, was now the only thing keeping him alive. 
The boat, was bumping along the sea would it sink or would not?
Sick sentences! 
These sentences are ‘sick’ and need help to get better. Can you help? Could you add an adverb? 
The man sat in thumping and bumping about in the boat. It was so stormy he couldn't see anything except He could see the flash of lightning.

Ruby end of year reports student reflection



                                                          End of Year Reports
                                                             Student Reflection

This year in Takutai I have really enjoyed learning about blogging,  seesaw, and technology because I  like sharing my work. 

The work I am most proud of this year is where in the world am I because I liked choosing the places I would like to go it was challenging to screencastify.     

I want to learn more about animals because I love animals and they are beautiful creatures.

My two best memories of this year are
 1. when keton helped me cut my work out when I hurt my fingers.
2. When daisy, keton, Katie, Harpur, Manawa, Jaxon, and I played tag.

My favorite experience/event this year was going to camp because it was so fun going caving.

The kindest thing someone has done for me this year was when Katie helped me find a Judy teacher to get an ice pack when I banged my leg.

I feel I have improved the most in is reading because of the SRA  reading lab.

I have been the most creative when I made my paper mache octopus because it was challenging and fun.

Paroa school is an awesome school because it has the beach next to it and the penguin logo.

Next year I am looking forward to camp because I get to hang out with my friends.

Analysing our data

This graph shows me that most people aren’t sure that paroa school is doing a good job at looking after our environment. It also tells me that strongly disagree  is the smallest so that hardly any people don’t want to.Strongly agree and disagree are almost the same.











Should we introduce a nude food day each week (nude food means no packaging or wrapper’s)
This pie chart tells me that 62.1%  people say yes to having a nude food day each week. This pie chart tells me that 29% say maybe. This pie chart tells me that 15% say no. This pie chart tells me that most people want to have a nude food day each week.










This chart shows that 80 people know where rubbish goes when we drop it and 25 don’t know. Thats why at Assembly we shoud explain it to  them.
