Practicing peaceful play speech

This week we have been focusing on our inquiry topic,  Practicing peaceful plays.
For our topic we have been doing a PPP (Practising peaceful plays) speech.

Here is the start of my speech......


Kon'nichiwa, hi my name is Te Harangi and today I will be talking about our inquiry topic, practising peaceful plays. In 1902 a game was invented by Elizabeth Magie. That game was Monopoly. Monopoly is a board game play worldwide. This game was first known as The landlord’s game. Henry George was the original inventor of The landlord’s game. But Elizabeth changed the name and made the game more fun. In 1933 a man named Parker Brothers sold a game similar to the game monopoly and was played through the 20th century. This game is usually played for fun to keep calm and to play with family. Just think, What would it be like if we didn’t understand what practising peaceful play was? for example we would be arguing throughout every game we play. But thankfully we all know what it means.   

My next step for my speech is to recraft it.
Please leave feedback or feedforward :D

Rugby tour

WALT: give our own opinion relating to  text.
Success criteria:
-Give my own opinion on what I have read and support it with reason from the text.

Today we were reading a book called Game over - link- game over

This book is about rugby and the protesters.
My opinion - I think the the rugby tour should've gone on because its not fair for the Maori people that wanted to play rugby. I think that Maori people should've represented our country in honor.

What is your opinion on the rugby tour? Please comment for feedback, feedforward and your opinion
