Why we Should be Paid to Come to School

This week we were presenting our speeches. My topic was why we should get paid for coming to school daily. I found it challenging to read some of the words that I didn't know, and had trouble saying them. Next time I would practice a bit more before presenting my speech. 

Here is my speech

Why we Should be Paid to Come to School 

I strongly believe that we should be paid five dollars daily from the government for coming to school because we can save this money and it will encourage us to come to school. It can also provide students that have no money for lunch to buy their own lunch or food. 

Firstly,  I think we should get paid from the government to come to school because kids can save this money for future education like university and get an apartment while they are at university to live in.

secondly kids can save that money for the future so they don't end up on the Homeless on the Streets. They can use this money to buy themselves a house to live in. Or buy a car to drive to work, or use this money to Travel to visit family.

Lastly, I strongly agree that kids should get paid to come to school because this encourages students to stay at school and learn. If you come to school for a whole year you could get about $1000, that’s 40 weeks of school at $5 a day.

This is why I strongly believe we should be paid to come to school so we can have money for the future and you get smarter for coming to school.

report writing

This week we have been learning how to write a report we were given a level three report on lions which was all cut up into sentences. We had to work in small groups to read it out and to put it into paragraphs. First we gave it a title. Then we had to work out the order and number it. We put the classification first which tells us about the family of the lions.
After that we grouped ideas together, habitat, description and facts. My buddy was Shone.
I found it easy to read the words, but I found it tricky to understand some words
next time I will change my topic.

Matariki Stars

This week in class we were making Matariki Stars out of paper stars, We made them by writing information about Matariki on each star, I had help with my star from my classmates  because I was struggling to keep up. They helped colour in the stars to make them look colourful. We cut them out,  folded them in half and glued them together. They tied the string to both of the holes we have hung them on the wire.

Matariki

Matariki

What is matariki? Matariki is a group of stars who are sisters.
There are nine sisters at night you can see a group of stars twinkling
in the skies. 

Only in June you can see them.
The nine stars are called, Matariki, Pohutukawa, Waiti, Waita,
Waipuna-a-Rangi, Tupuanuku, Tuarangi, Ururangi, and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi.
Maori people celebrate Matariki by enjoying food, songs, games and
haka as a family. It is a time to remember the people who have passed away,
and to celebrate new life into their families. 

Martas Journey

This week in reading we were reading about a Refugee, Her name is Marta. She was from a country where there were bombs dropped from planes, onto their house, family, friends and pets. Some people survived, and escaped to New Zealand. Marta and her mum live together in New Zealand.
In my drawings it shows before she came to New Zealand, She drew buildings on fire and planes dropping bombs. In the after picture Marta had drawed it has a new school, a new house, and she drew her new friend.

I found it hard to read some of the words in the story.

Summer Fun

In Writing, we were learning to use a hook. We had to use juicy verbs and different sentence starters.

I found it easy to use juicy verbs.

I found it tricky to think about the ideas.

Next time I would try and think faster.

It was a dangerous day at Browns beach. My family travelled in different ways, by cars, quad bikes, and motorbikes.

I saw tons of burnt old logs that had been washed up and dumped on the sand from the heavy waves. The sun was making the waves sparkle like diamonds. I could see fish swimming through the waves.

There were tyre tracks everywhere shaped like donuts. The hot sand was tickling my feet. It felt very hot like the desert. Heatwaves were taking the coolness out of my body.

This Is Just To Say

We were learning how to use snappy sentences like William Carlos Williams.
I enjoyed breaking my sisters lipstick.
I found it tricky to find an excuse.
