My culture
This terms topic is about identity so this week I did and information report about my culture, identity etc.
I am Filipino, but I was born in NZ. Therefore I am from NZ but my ethnicity is Filipino.
My other siblings were born in the Philippines, while I was born in NZ. They grew up there but in 2008 my older brother, 9 and my two older sisters, 7 and 11, moved to NZ.
I’m not just Filipino, I’m also chinese and spanish. Spanish comes from my mom's side, and chinese comes from my dad's side. My dad's grandparents of chinese and my mom's grandparents are spanish.
Most of my relatives live in the Philippines, in Cebu. They live in Cordova, Mabolo, Santander, Bohol and some other places. While others live in the USA, and Australia.
A cultural thing we do in the Philippines is the sinulog festival. It’s a traditional celebration held every third Sunday of January. It is celebrated in Cebu City to honor Senor Santo NiƱo.
I enjoyed this activity because its cool to share your ethnicity/nationality with other people.
What is your ethnicity?

Airbending information report
This is my week 3 writing, my writing is an information report about airbending.
R.T: Use adverbs - say HOW - loud, fast, quiet etc...
Airbenders obtain the capability to manipulate the air currents around them. Airbenders can deal catastrophic attacks to their opponents, but they prefer to approach with a more defensive approach, which can be shifty movement. One of the airbenders tactics are avoid and evade, only using attacks for defense purposes. The first airbenders were the flying bison, in which they use their huge tails to generate immense gusts of wind to propel themselves in the air. One of the abilities of an airbender include: Enhanced agility. Agility is a common trait to have as an airbender. It makes it hard for opponents to get a good hit on an airbender due to their consistent movements. Their weaknesses have to be that they lack fatal moves. Airbending is a more defensive element due to their pacifist nature. They try to avoid assault as much as conceivable. There are no known subskills of airbending, unlike the other elements. When you have mastered airbending, you will get tattoos of blue arrows on your body, just like the flying bison.

Hobbies
This is my writing about my hobby.
My hobby is drawing. Either or painting, sketching, or doing random doodles. Doing random doodles is the one I do most often. I usually just draw random cartoon characters. Sketching is art I take seriously. I usually sketch a random object, specifically a 3D object. One time I sketched my house. The only thing I’ve painted so far is Pikachu with a santa hat. Another type of drawing/art is animation. Animation is basically a moving image. Animation is commonly done on a computer. Making an animation is very simple. For example if you are making an animation about a snake, and its slithering around, you add a frame, draw a snake, add another frame, shift the position of the snake you drew, and repeat. And there you’ve got a snake. Sorry if i didn’t explain it in a manner you can understand. You can just watch a tutorial on youtube. Fun fact: Did you know that art used to be an olympic event?

T2 W1 reading
This is my reading and we were learning about jobs.
Zookeeper writing
This is my writing and its about the daily basis of a zookeeper and what skills are required to be one.
Purpose: Report.
Audience: Whaea Tamzin.
RT: Use adverbs.
The daily basis of a zookeeper consists of cleaning the animals, and taking care of the exhibit and the animals. They feed the animals, and make sure they have an active diet. They also are in charge of managing medication. They also report unusual behaviors to the managers / veterinarians. They keep records of the animals. The qualifications you need to have in order to become a zookeeper, you need to have a basic understanding of animal biology and how to take care of animals. You need to have skill in caring and handling animals. They control pests and other rodents that might sneak into the exhibit. They provide fun activities for the animals. They are also tour guides for people visiting the zoo. You need a bachelor's degree in any field affiliated with animal administration such as, biology, zoology, zoo technology etc. Not only do zookeepers observe the animals behavioral problems, they also observe health issues. For example, they might be sick, or they might have a severe cut.
I enjoyed this activity because I learnt what a daily basis of a zookeeper is.
What job do you want to have?
