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 

Exploding Canisters!!!

Walt: Predict what was going to happen, then observe what happened.

On Thursday our class did an experiment with berocca. We got into groups of three or two, we also got given one peace of berocca and a small container of water. when we put the berocca into the small container and put the lid onto the container, the lid of the container flew of the top and all the berocca and made a mess. It was so much fun, the best part was when me and all my friends screamed when the lid flew of the container. It was nerve wracking when we just watched the berocca in the container fizz up then fly off.

All About the Maori Creation

Yesterday our class watched a video about the Maori Creation,  I learnt what the Maori people believe  in and how the world started. After our class watched the video  we all wrote on a google doc what the video means to us. It was really cool learning  something new about what the Maori people believe in.  What I think i could do better next time is put in some writing and explain more what it means to me. 

Maori Creation

There were two gods, one was a boy and one was a girl, they had 6 kids, and each of them were gods to. The kids did not like that they were trapped in there protection and they wanted to see the light. So at first one of the gods said we should kill our parents, but they other gods said “no we can’t do that”

One of the other gods planted himself in the ground, after  he was done planting himself in the ground he grew really really  tall. When he grew really tall

~ it split the two parents up so they all seen the light.

here is the link to the video we watched about Maori creation. Link
