Explanation / Turuki Health Care

Turuki Health Care

Turuki health care is a wonderful place for people to go and get better. Turuki health care is like a little hospital for you to get the help you need. But it is just a place for people to get medicine not to stay there overnight. Did you know that most  of the doctors at Turuki are volunteers.

There are different parts of the building that work in. There the stuff room only,  which can be also known and the eating room. Here is a list of places in the building that they work in: there's some little rooms for the doctors to work in, there is one big area in the building that has beds for people to lie on that is near the desks for were they put the medicine.

The doctor that work at the Turuki don’t have to work there some just volunteer for a spot in being a helper for the community. Some of the main doctors that work at Turuki were the first of them to become a helper at Turuki. This reason is because they would have known how to become a better doctor and then others would have volunteered to become a doctor to help those that needed the help.

All doctors that work in hospitals have to have the confidence of being a professional in what they do. The reason for this is because if they didn’t know what they had or were meant to do than that put the person's health into someone else’s hands. They may or may not get that person the help that they need.

I know that the doctors at Turuki are volunteers because my aunty was a volunteer in helping the community for those that needed the help in getting better. Some of the doctors can and may not be good at what they do but it is good that they want to help the community be are healthier place for us people to live in and let people know that they are in the hands of good people. Have you ever considered being a doctor.

Tables Conga

Today I chose to play a maths game called tables conga. The game is all about counting in 9's. It let you chose. I chose to count in 9 because it pushes me further and it better than doing something that you already know because it called get boring. The thing that I found hard about doing this was that I have never did counting in 9's. The thing that I found easy was that I got around what I thought I couldn't do.

But the thing that I found easy about this task is that I got around what I couldn't do and I got it finished in the end.  

Tamaki Collage Overdrive

This Afternoon we visited a website called Tamaki Collage overdrive. We had to choose a book that we thought was a good book to read. The book I choose was called Miss Peregrine's home for Peculiar children. The thing that I found interesting about this book is that the story started off talking about what someone in the family used to do and what they used to do. The thing that I found boring about reading this story is that it had to much information. 

Kiwi Can Taking risk

Today we had Kiwi Can with Mr Malu and Miss Latoya. Our warm up game was called 'bip bop bounce bang', it was fun trying not to get out. We also played a game that was called hand soccer. We had to support people to help them overcome a risky challenge. Every one in the team had to hit the ball before we could score. We all had to collaborate and cheer on our team while we were on the side line. After Kiwi Can we got into our dance groups so we could practise the dance for our dance production for the end of this term. Staying Alive was first up and then I see red was next. The foot loose group were the group to go on stage to practise in front of LS2. The thing that I found hard about the dance is that I didn't know some of the dance moves because I wasn't here, but I got around my mistake by taking a risk and copying the person in front of me so I could keep going. The thing that I found easy about today was that most of the class were being supportive through the whole of this morning.

Read theory

This morning we were doing read theory. We do read theory to help us with our reading, it help us grow our knowledge. It teaches us how to comprehend text. It can help us improve our vocabulary.

The thing that I found easy about read theory is that I can understand most of the questions and know the answer for each of them.

The thing that we found hard about today was that we had to get it right the first time which we managed to do. The thing that we found easy about this is that we ended up getting our milkshake finished. We thought that our milkshakes were really nice.

Text to Text	Text to world	Text to self
Something I have read or watched that is like this is...	Something I know about that is like this is...	My reaction to this story is...
Something I have read or watched that is like this is Blaze the forensic of fire. This book also involves how they investigate a fire and they explain what happened in the victim's house. It tells us why it is important to find out what happened at the place of the fire and they find out why that person did it unless it was sent by someone inside the house that was probably cooking our someone was playing with the lighter or the matches.	Something I know about that is like this is accidental fires can occur when candles are left unattended and lightning strikes can hit tree or people's homes  causing naturally occurring. Arsonists are people who intentionally set fire. Fire investigators at the scene of a school fire and  to investigators find  out where the fire started.	That it involves having to be a witness Being responsible Learning lessons Learning important information Finding a cause Being patient Investigating something
