Things That Could Be Good In The School.

Things that will improve St Bernadette's school

Dear Mr. Norman,

If you are reading this I am going to be telling you what I would like to see happen in the school/in the classrooms. I will be explaining why we need more sports tournaments and also why we want a new school sport/school uniform then finally why we should do more work in our books. Keep on reading to find out my fact and opinions on what should change in the school..;

For a start I would like to talk about more sports tournaments, I think we need to be having more sports tournaments because it is a way for children to work on being fit and building strength. Also, I think we need more sport activities so children can try out as many sports as they want and if they don’t like them they can try out a different sport if they want to. My final reason on why we should have more sports in St Bernadette’s school is it is for other children in the school to bond together and make new friends.

Now I am going to be talking about why I want children to be doing more work in their books. I think this because it is a way for children to practice their handwriting. Also, it is a way for children to take more time into doing their work, and going back through there work finding all the mistakes that they have made. My final reason on why children should be doing more work in their books is, children get more work done in there books. They are getting more work done because children are not taking all of this time drawing pictures online and mucking around with different fonts, colors and other different things.

My last and final reason for what I want to change about the school is, changing our school/sports uniforms. I think we should change our school/sports uniform because some people are getting over our school uniform. Also when we go down for winter sport out sports uniform is not as cool as other schools. It would be really cool if we were allowed to wear our own hoodies and in the breaks, but we have to take them off when we get back into class. (because some people do not like the texture of the jersey at our school)

Thank you for taking the time to read my writing, hope you enjoyed reading about what I would like to see change in the school.. If you have time, maybe look into considering some things I have said and see if they will be a good idar in our school.

#SAVE THE TURTLES.

WALT: I can write a short persuasive post by making a claim and backing it up with reasons. I can plan for a longer persuasive post by identifying the topic, audience and a question. I can research my topic by identifying information and paraphrasing the facts.

First off I would just like to ask you, what is your take on plastic or metal straws. Well is this piece of

writing I am going to be telling you why I want metal straws and not plastic straws.

(Watch this video to understand why we need to stop using plastic straws and any other plastic)

Others agree that we should be using plastic straws instead of metal straws. Well, I think we should be

using metal straws, I think that because plastic straws are being used every day and are just being

thrown away. People are not thinking about what will happen to their straws when they just throw

them away. Also, I think that metal straws are better because we can reuse them. “It is not that hard to

wash some dishes is it” XD

( Fact ) It is estimated that there are 100 million tons of plastic in the oceans around the world.

In my perspective, I think we need to use metal straws, not plastic because we don't need any more

plastic going into the ocean. There are videos on the internet of a turtles getting plastic pulled out of

around their head. "it is not nice watching plastic being pulled out of an animal" plastic is also killing

not just turtles but other sea animals, e.g, sharks, sea bird and many more different animals are dying

to how much plastic is in the ocean.

( Fact) Each day around 8 million pieces of plastic makes their way to our oceans.

I think we need to start using metal straws instead of plastic because 0.25 percent of the ocean's plastic

is made up of plastic straws. I think that because over 100,000 marine creatures die a year just from

plastic straws. “If this keeps on happening we will not have many marine creatures left in our ocean.

'' Some scientists estimate there are about 8.3 billion plastic straws all over the world.

Well our story is coming to an end. After reading my writing what is your take on why we should be

using metal or plastic straws. If you don’t agree with my opinion that is fine. But this is my reasons

why I want to use metal not plastic straws.

What I found easy: What I found easy was coming up words that go with my text, also
choosing the bests words to back up my facts.

What I found hard: What I found hard was trying to find facts about why i want to be 
using metal straws not plastic straws.

What I could do next time to make my writing better: What I think I could do better next time is put in more facts about why i want to use metal straws not plastic straws.

The Day Fianllly Came

WALT: Use paragraphs to link similar ideas together, write in structured well developed paragraphs that flow well from one to the next within text. Also using linking words and phrases to link paragraphs for effect

In our class we did the really fun active, the active was to look at this photo and use our 5 senses to write a story about the photo, I really liked doing this active.

It was that day, the day I have been dreaming about but also don't want to leave them behind.  "Oh sorry I got ahead of myself, let me tell you what has happened" So it was 1984 and I got sentenced to prison for 5 years. I met some people that I got along with and we made a close friendship, we always had each other's back and when one of us was struggling with something we would help them get out and be free. Half the time it wasn't even their fault they were in there. 

All my friends in prison were sentenced to prison for a lifetime for things that they regret doing. I was thinking of a way to get them out. Endless nights of thinking and planning. I finally came up with a plan. The plan is when it is yard time go to the corner of the yard and I will through over a rope, then you will all climb over the brick wall. then you will all be free.

What i enjoyed: Coming up with a story form a picture and using the 5 senses 

What I could do better: Make sure that i complete my work on time and put in more writing

What i did well: What i think i did well is choosing specific words for this text and when to use certain words 

The Most Amazing Mum

In our class this week we have been learning how to write by showing not telling. We had to do a piece of writing about our mum's. Hope you enjoy reading through my work.

This person is the most amazing person I know. That person is my mum, she likes to take pride in what she wears and what she looks like. Mum always likes to put on perfume and smell nice. Mum is a very tall person and always dresses up nice when she is going to work or is just going out.

Mum's one of those people that act nice all the time and really is in a bad mood. “But when she is in a bad mood you will know about it” Mum when she starts to sneeze she will not stop for like 5 minutes, It gets so annoying. The best thing about my mum is that she is a very caring person and likes to help anyone in any way she can.

Mum affects those around her by being a caring person who likes to make sure others feel good about themselves. Mum always says to me she wants the best for me and always gets me what I want in reason. All my mum does is try and make everything I do easily for me.

Mum’s one of them people that like to buy nice things and make sure that they will fit in with the house or what she is wearing, she takes pride in her appearance and the house and makes sure her family look nice and cared for too. Mum lives down a nice street and the street is so amazing because it is covered with trees.

What I found hard: Trying to put my words into showing not telling.

What I found easy: Finding the amazing things about my mum.

What I could do better next time: What I think I could do better next time is, try and make my writing sound like I am showing it not telling it.

Pig The PUug

Pig The Useless Pug

W.A.L.T: write a story buy showing not telling.

Pig the Pug was a dog and he is very fat. He  had massive eyes the size of oranges,
And also the tiniest feet and paws, that when he walked he falls over all the time. When pug smiled all you could see is his ugly old teeth. Pig the Pug had the pointiest ears I have ever seen my life.

Pig is one of the bossiest pugs there has ever been on this earth. He does not care about anyone else, he only cares about himself. He is a very arrogant pug. Pig the pug bosses his friends around and his friends can’t say no.

Pug has one deadly behavior, he is very mean to other people and it makes them feel unwanted and sad.  What pug says to his friends is not very nice and he doesn't think how it will make his friends feel. His friend Trevor is a very forgiving dog because he forgives what pig the pug has said to him.

We might believe that pug was a well-kept dog but really he liked to keep his room in a pig stye. Pig appears not to pick up after himself, he leaves his dirty washing on the floor, his food scraps on his table or ln the floor. Pig the Pugs keeps all his toys on the floor and does not pick up after himself. Pig leaves all his nice spray and deodorant laying on the floor for his friend Trevor to steep on. All in the end Pig the Pug is a very dirty pug and does not consider anyone else but himself.

What I found hard: Trying to turn my language features into show not tell
What I could do better: Put in more descriptive words.
What I found easy: Thinking of the different type of words to describe pig the pug.

Pig The Pug

Did he die or live.

On the 9th of  September Pig the Pug fell or was pushed out a window. Police, forensics and ambulances were there within minutes.They rushed Pig the Pug to the hospital while the police and the forensic were looking through the apartment for any clues. As police were looking through the apartment they found a suspect in the building with black gloves and a black mask on.

Police took the suspect into custody. Police question the suspect for hours to get answers. While the police were asking question to the suspect, surgeons were doing a operation on pig the pug because he lots of broken bones.

Police asked the suspect what he was doing with the mask and black gloves. He said “ I just like walking around with back gloves and a black mask on ” police are not believing his story from what he is saying. To be Continued!!!

The Creepy House...

W.A.L.T: Write a Descriptive piece of writing of this picture using Descriptive language.

It was a dark and cloudy night and I was standing outside this old broken house thinking if I should go in. All I can hear is the house creaking and breaking. 

My tummy says I should not go in but my mind is telling me to go in, but then I hear this voice calling my name, “Jack-Jack" come on in it is nice and warm” I am so scared to say anything to the person because I don’t know what the person is going to do or say next.

I finally decided to go into the house, when I walk up to the door the stairs creak as I walk on them. I knock on the door but then the door just falls over. I walk in so scared hoping nothing bad happens. Holding my breath every step I take. When I walk in all I can see is spider webs and bugs all over the walls and the roof.

What I did well: setting out my work in paragraphs,

What I need to work on: my editing on my work,

Amazing Writing

In our class we are reading a book called posted, we had an activities  to write a persuasive writing on why I think phones should be in school. hope you like it.

Should cellphones be banned in school

In my opinion i think children should have phones in school time here are the reasons why.

Say your child has to go home because he is sick and the school does not have your parents phone number he can get his phone and call his parents. Also i think having a phone at school is great because if you are in a sticky situation you can use the handy google to help you.

Another reason is that say  you are in a place you should not be in. you can ring your friends to come and help you get out. (and maybe look around)

In the end i think it is a really great idea to let people take their phones to school.

What i fund easy: writing the story

what i found hard: coming up with the right word and making sour it makes sense

what i could do next time: what i think i could do next time is put in some more reasons into my writing

The gate to your nightmares.

Three kids broke into an abandoned park light at night, the three kids saw a old man sitting on a bench feeding the ducks. When the old man turned around and looked at the three kids looking straight at him. The man turned back and took of running down the path.

The three kids flowed him down the path to where he was staying but then the old man called out help! Help! I am being chased by three kids and i don’t know what to do. So a clown comes out behind the tree with a chainsaw and wearing a red wig, a white and blue T-Shirt.

That night the three kids got together to think what they were going to do about the clown and the old man.. The three kids talked about it and came up with an idea that might just work, the plan is to get the clown to chases one of us out of the park, Then one of us shut the gate after the clown is has ran out of the park. Then we will find the old man and take him to an old people’s home.

One of the night one of the kids had a nightmare about the clown chasing them out of the park. The kid woke up screaming for it to stop but the nightmare keeped on going on! and on! and on! That happened to the other two kids on the same night as well. So to fix all of there problems the went to a counselor to talk out the problems and to get some advice for what to do next.

Not wanting to go to school.

W.A.L.T create a ballad poem and make up our own rhythm.

Rhythm. A, B, B, A.

I am laying in bed thinking of not going to school,

Mum is telling me to get out of bed but it is to cold,

She comes up to me and puts me in a warm hold,

Hoping that the day is not on april fools.

I get out of bed and all of my clothes are all damp,

Mum gets the hot water bottle ready,

And I am there still watching five nights of freddy,

Mum tells me if I put my clothes on I will be a champ,

I’m walking to school with my friends talking along,

I feel as warm as being in a desert,

But then we saw a puppet called burt,

Then we all realized that we had said something wrong,

I am doing my maths and knowing that I hate it,

I feel like my head is going to blow up!

Then I thought of my little cute pup,

I felt like I had to quit,

I was sitting next to my best friend

Who was yabbering in my ear

All I wanted him to disappear,

As I wanted this conversation  to end,

About My Holidays

Spending time with family

The first week of the school holidays i was at my dad’s house. I went to twizel with my family, twizel is a place where people go fishing, sightseeing and enjoying the time on the water. I went to twizel with my Nanna, Grandad, Dad, Stepmum and my two younger brothers.

In the first week of the school holidays I went to stay at my friends house, it was really fun because he just got a new playstation 4. We didn't go to sleep till midnight watching youtube and playing games. I had lots of fun at his house, we also went to the swimming pools with his older brother we met some people and played around with a water polo ball.

On the 28th of April I was playing call of duty black ops 2 on my PS3, I started playing at 10.00am and got off at 12.00pm. The next morning I woke up at 10.00 in the morning I was so tired that i fell asleep watching billy madison.  

In the second week i went to the beach with my mum with her friend, it was really fun swimming in the sea. We also got a mr whippy ice cream, I got a crunchy nut with a chocolate flake stuck into it. Me and my mum dug a big hole that could fit myself and my mum inside it.

The worst part of my holiday is that by grandad died from  cancer and that my dad had to leave me with my nana and grandad that was on holiday with me in twizel. That was ok because to make me feel better my nana and grandad took me out for breakfast the next morning. I had bacon and eggs with a nice piece of bread.

Over all i loved my holiday hope you all loved your holiday as well.
