Title of the text - Whangarei’s lawn mowing Good samaritan found

Author - Jodi Bryant

Summary of the text (4-6 sentences) 

One day a man on his birthday ended up putting a staple in his finger at work. During that day he drove across helping out an elderly with her lawns doing a really good deed. And also from that day there were also a lot of car crashes in that area, that's when seven sharp interviewed the elderly women and she happened to talk about a man named Nikau Munroe Rawiri. It was only after his partner shared the post stating that it was the perfect way to end his birthday with him mowing the lawns, Nikau Munroe Rawiri and his partner were scrolling on face book that night and Nikau noticed the house, then he listened to the interview and realised she mentioned him about doing a good deed then he says my head was saying go but my heart was saying help out and as he did he became Whangarei’s lawn mowing Good Samaritan. The posts got so many views and he got gazillions of messages and texts flooding his dm’s. He declined an offer from the elderly's daughter, then he reunited with them and then the daughter presented him with a hamper of pest control products and then seven sharp came down to follow up on their story.

The key idea in the text - SEXY paragraph

I think the key message in this story is we should help those in need. By this I mean never let an elderly or other do something so intense that they struggle, lend a hand and help or at least ask.This is shown by Nikau Munroe Rawiri he helped an elderly Mow her lawns.In my opinion seeing lovely people in my community help people in need just to carry grocery or get them to the car or cross the road is an example of helping in need.

What can we learn from the text?

What I can learn and also what other people can take by this is that to help anyone in need.

KIwi Culture Reflection

Most of this term we have been focusing on a topic called Kiwi Culture, We've been learning about Culture,Heritage,Identity, Kiwi Icons and more. One thing I did to increase my understanding of Kiwi Culture is that I researched to gather information and facts to go towards my learning. I think that researching about Kiwi Icons and finding how they appear as Kiwi Icons has been the most exciting and enjoyable topic yet in the unit (Kiwi Culture). I learnt from this unit to appreciate and respect my culture and also other cultures as they are important as much as mine, I appreciate how different they do there traditions, and etc.

Being Cybersmart

Being Cyber Smart keeps us safe from inappropriate sites, viruses, hacking, unwanted people, etc. For example people could scam you, catfish and hack you just going on 1 inappropriate site. To be Cyber smart you need to be secure online.Ways I be Cyber Smart is that I keep my personal info offline, I'm always weary about who texts me and what sites I go on just to making sure it's not suspicious in ways of  viruses, hacking, unwanted people and many more.
