Change The Uniform

For writing we have been about persuasive writing and persuasive vocab. This is my writing about why we should not have school uniform.

Change The Uniform

Wearing a school uniform is a waste of money so we should get to pick our own clothes. If we pick our own clothes then we won’t have to go through all of the stress with finding a uniform.

Firstly, I think that we should pick our own clothes because there will be no stress with looking for a uniform, if you wear whatever you want then it will be easier to find clothes and you won’t get angry if you can’t find your uniform.m

Secondly, I think you should wear whatever you want is because it’s free to choose your own clothes and you can just pick anything out, also if you choose whatever you want then you could wear more layers to keep warm.

Lastly, I think that you should wear whatever you want is because you don’t have to waste money. If you wear whatever then no money will go down the drain, also it’s cheaper to buy normal clothes than uniform.

Overall I think that we should wear whatever we want because you don’t have to struggle looking for your uniform, you will be free to choose whatever and you won’t have to waste money.

Facts about the Sun, Earth and Moon

For Science we have been learning about how the Sun, Earth and Moon orbit in a system. I learnt that the sun spins slowly and gives light and warmth to it's planets, the earth spins around the sun taking 365 days, it also takes 24 hours to do one spin and it wobbles for seasons and the moon orbits the earth taking 27.5 days and it faces the same way.

The Protectful, Playful Pet

In writing we have been learning about Persuasive Writing.

We had to decide if Miss McLeod should get a cat or a dog for a pet.

We are learning about persuasive vocabulary and we had to highlight them in our work.

I think Miss McLeod should get a dog.

Please read my persuasive writing to find out why.

The Protectful Playful Pet

Did you know that dogs can be your private body guard?I think Miss Mcleod should get a dog because dogs can keep you safe. They can be entertaining, protectful and playful.

Firstly, I think that Miss Mcleod should get a dog because they are entertaining little fluffballs. They can be entertaining by running to you and they jump but they miss the couch. Another way that they could be entertaining is doing cool tricks. Some examples of them doing cool tricks could be them trying to jump through a hoop or open the door for you.

Secondly, I think that Miss Mcleod should buy a fluffy, goofy dog because they can be protectful like a superhero going to save the day. To be protectful they could warn you so that you can know that there is an intruder at your house. Another that they can protect you is that they could be your own tough, unbreakable, bone breaking body guard.

Lastly, I think Miss Mcleod should get a cute and fluffy dog because they can be playful. To play with them you could run around with their toy while they chase you to get it.  You can also play with them by when they are playing with their toy you could grab it and then drag it on the ground.

Overall, I think that Miss Mcleod should buy a dog because they can be entertaining, protect you and play with you.   

Go to your nearest pet and but one of these goofy, funny and protectful pets.

Questioning When Reading

This week in reading we have been continuing with our questioning. Questioning is a reading skill that helps us understand the text. We used questioning for the story Feet First. Feet First was about Karate. Some questions I had were How strong was Jzarahr, How long was their training session, Where was their dojo, Who was Lee and What was Kata. The questions that I could answer was Where was their dojo and Who was Lee. The questions that I couldn't answer were How strong was Jzarahr, How long was their training and What was Kata. These are the pictures of Jzarahr, Sa and my questions. The top one is my questions, the second one is Sa and the last one is Jzarahr.

Using our prior knowledge

For reading in the last two days we have been learning about Questioning. Questioning is when you ask a question from the text. Sometimes we can answer the questions when we read on. If we can't answer that we can use our prior knowledge to make a guess but if we can't use our prior knowledge then we research. The journal was about a person called Sam that was going to run a triathlon. Sam had just returned from the World Championships in Cancun, Mexico. He was at peak fitness for his training but he wanted to keep it up so he could stay at peak fitness. The triathlon that he was competing in was at Scorching Bay in Wellington. When we were reading some people would read out their questions and then people would try to answer them. These were some of my questions, Why does he need to be there by 8:00 am, Why does he need a number, How did his number stay on when he went under water and What is an Iron man race. Some of the questions I couldn't answer were why does he need a number, what is an Iron man race and how is he one of the fastest even though he was injured. I hope you like it and can answer my questions.
