To know about what's happening and getting awarded of people who you hang out with and just stay inside the house when it's night.

Summary:

A teenager killed in a shooting in Christchurch overnight was an innocent bystander who had been watching fireworks with friends while attending a 15th birthday party. 

Connor Whitehead, 16, died after he was shot on Friday night while attending a party on Heaphy Place, in the suburb of Casebrook. The gunman remains on the run.

His father, James Whitehead, told staff on Saturday that his son was enjoying himself with friends ''making the most of the time with his boys'', at a girl's party.

There was a commotion outside the party, but Connor wasn't aware of what was going on, he was outside getting some air. The next thing his mates saw was people crowding around him and he was on the ground.

Connor wasn't involved in whatever was going on outside the party, he hadn't even interacted with the person responsible.

The 16-year old Burnside High school student messaged his father earlier in the day while he was at work to ask if he could go to a party and stay the night at a friend.

Why is Jacinda Ardern still so popular?

Date: August 6, 2021

Title: Why is Jacinda Ardern still so popular?

Text type:  Article

Text purpose: To show people why Jacinda Ardern is still so popular

In what I read about this text that Jacinda Ardern as a young woman who becomes prime minister at the age of 37, she is one of the world's first millennial heads of government. She is the only second world leader to give birth in office ( The first was Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan.)

Jacinda Ardern made a promise that she wanted to solve New Zealand's housing crisis by building homes over a decade. But then In the 2020 election campaign, Jacinda Ardern should have struggled to explain why her grand promise had so utterly failed. Except no one demanded any accountability.

This story was about 5 people who want to go somewhere but end up losing to their destination and when the sun was close to setting behind a range of hills by the time they reached the destination.  Suddenly they found something that it has a roof and the boys called it a cottage. They went into the cottage and checked if someone was there, and when they went inside, no one was inside. They think that maybe they can like have 1-night sleep there and when it's morning they continue walking around.  When it was their first morning in the hut, they found a shotgun and it has ammo that hasn't been used yet.

Visual art work-Wananga

 For the past 2 weeks, we have to work about our culture in our Wananga, First, we have to identify what kind of my culture do I share, Because some people do art, clay, explanation and others more. I did art because I think that it's easier for me to share my culture. 

This is my culture because when I was in the Philippines I live in the city and move to my grandfather and grandmother house because no one gonna take care of me and my brother and sister because my mom is going to New Zealand and find a job but my dad is already in New Zealand. I live with my grandfather and grandmother and they have their own land in the mountain and my grandfather and my uncle teach me what are we gonna do in the mountain if we are there. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to go there if you walk but 10 minutes if like ride a car or motorcycle. Most of the drawing that I draw is all in my grandfather mountain. All my drawing is connected to my country in the Philippines where my grandfather and grandmother have their own mountain land that where we can go and visits and one time I sleep in the Bahay Kubo in the mountain before and it was scary because there was creepy noise. My grandmother and grandfather have a lot of chicken in the mountain, one of my uncles needs to go there on the mountain every day to feed the chicken.
