Welcome or Welcome back to my blog,
in today's blog post I am going to be telling you about The Holy Rosary. The Holy Rosary is a prayer that is dedicated to Mary the mother of Christ. The Modern day Rosary started when a man named St Dominic saw Mary and she told him to revive The Rosary in the Church. He did that and thats how The Rosary began, learn more in my slide.
Hi guys welcome back to my blog.
This week during writing we were learning about stereotypes.
Stereotypes are beliefs of how the world works. An example of gender stereotypes is nurses are girls and doctors are boys. That how people think the world works, it might not be true or you may not agree but thats a stereotype. There are many kinds of stereotypes including gender stereotypes and race stereotypes. Stereotypes are not made to offend people their just made to make the world less complected. For writing I made a poster. Which familiar stereotypes can you see in my poster?? I hope you like my poster! Enjoy!
Should School Be Online?
Hi welcome to my blog.
During the past few weeks NZ has been in lock down so we have been learning online. During this time we had to write a lot of persuasive texts and this was one of them. We had a lot of time online and the question came, should we stay this way? I wrote this persuasive text to share my opinion on online school. Comment down below your opinion and why. Enjoy!
Should School be online? That's the question circling the internet in these trying times. But should school really be online? Everyone everywhere has a right to a good education and online learning could deprive children of that and that's why I think children should be taught from school.
Since 2020 when the virus got serious most learning has gone online to make sure that the virus does not spread as much but during this period children of different backgrounds have been deprived of their learning.
Each family has a different situation and some may not be able to afford devices used for online learning which would cause their children not to participate in school activities. Even in a case where all parents have enough devices to share and are working from home it is hard to control your children while video conferencing with your colleagues.
Not only that, online school affects children's health as well. Learning at home is a very unhealthy choice especially when learning is online. Screen time and not enough exercise can cause children to have bad eyesight and with food coming in more often it can cause children to add on some extra weight that may be harmful for their health, but with a fixed diet at school your children will be forced to be eating what is packed for them and only what is packed for them, with often exercise during breaks and fitness.
More dangers of online school is not having supervised care. Without the attention of teachers or parents, children can get distracted and do things that have nothing to do with school work and could be harmful for their thinking at a young age.
Lastly, I think that learning from home could affect children's school and social life. Being far from your teachers can make it harder for them to communicate with their teachers and with questions unanswered the children can be misled and won't know how to do their work handing in bad work at the end of the day with teachers wondering what happened.
Many children have no siblings and a lack of a social life could cause children not to be used to being around children so when living in the real world it will be hard for them to be used to being around other people and it will be hard for them to develop good team building skills. Moreover, learning from home can make kids miss meets and instead of a classmate chasing them down to remind them, they end up missing their workshop and forgetting about what to do, this will cause their grades to drop severely after a couple times of missing meets.
So in conclusion for all these reasons school should be taught from school.
What do you think? Do you really want your child's grades to drop because they are too lazy to wake up in the morning?
Hi guys,
Last week on Friday a Lady named Rachel from house of bricks came to our school with lots of Lego!
We have been learning about Character and Collaboration for P.B.L and this was our booster to get some Character juices boosting through us. We had a few fun challenges that we had to get through, through the day that we all really enjoyed. The first activity that my group went through was the Mosaics. This was a fun activity for many people but this just wasn't my thing I like art but after a while of making designs made of Lego and breaking it apart i was a bit getting a bit bored but after morning tea I was in for a real treat! After morning tea we all headed to year 7 and 8 hub where Lego of different shapes, sizes and colours were scattered across mats. We sat down listening to Rachel as she explained the next task. The task was to go over to a mat of our choice which already had small brown bases for everyone to build upon. When we had chosen a mat we would start building something for a period of 5 minutes after the 5 minutes was over we had to pass it round to the next person clockwise and they would continue building on our base for another 5 minutes and pass it round to the next person. So I started building a Pre-school. My Pre-school was going very successfully until the 5 minutes was over and I passed it to the boy next to me for him to continue, and everything from then on just changed! At first he was building on to make my Pre-school then he saw a eyeball in the Lego pile and stuck it on and my Pre-school become a Eye-school. We went round and round in a circle and my creation kept becoming more and more eyeballnised ( if that even is a word ) until my Pre-school came to one person who changed it completely. This girl took every single eye-ball out of the Pre-school and returned it to what it was first supposed to be an ordinary Pre-school. Soon after our time was up and we went to the next rotation. We got into peers to make a super fast, super speedy speeding race car. We were all given wheels to start our creation with. Me and my buddy looked round for things that would make it go a larger distance faster. We thought that weight at the back would make it go fast so thats what we did. We went back and forth testing our race car until time was up. We all sat down and watched cars race down the ramp. Ours was first. We were against someone and we won. We had a chance...although we thought. As more and more cars went down the ramp we knew we were not gonna be on that podium. In the end we were no where close to the top, although our car did go down the ramp we lost, and what a great loss it was.

Hi Everyone and welcome back to my blog,
Today I have a debate that needs to be settled among the schools. Should schools have junk food?
Comment below to share your views on the subject. Enjoy!
Junk food should be allowed and served at school
Junk food, delicious food served at takeaways but not at school. Yes not at school! Wouldn't you love to open your lunch box and see a juicy burger and some french fries waiting for you to dig in? Don't you think that schools these days are getting a little unfair.
A lack of food can cause a lack of energy which would cause a slump in children's focus. Why can't they just eat normal food you ask, not many kids like the food put in their lunchboxes and that causes them not to eat it due to a lack of appetite.
These are some more reasons why Junk food should be allowed and served at school.
Ever forgot your lunch and the teachers gave you something disgusting to eat but you had to eat it because you had no lunch. Ever been tired one morning and don't want to go to school, junk food waiting for you can boost your excitement and make you extra ready to get to school.
So teachers and parents, pack a nice big burger, hot dog or more in your child's lunch. Do you agree that it will bring a brighter day to your child's life?
Hi again,
We have been writing a small chunk of the short film Umbrella which is all about a girl who went to visit an orphanage and her whole life was changed. Through a small act of kindness she had made the greatest choice of her life. Here is my chunk comment below what you think!
-Umbrella-
One foggy dawn, while the dew fell upon the leaves, the door to Miss Elm’s Home for Children sprang open with a bang! The girl with the stunning, sunshine yellow umbrella tiptoed reluctantly into the orphanage, quickly finding a safe home for her umbrella. And not wanting to be seen Boris crisply whipped his head round the door frame so he was hidden from view. Standing off to the side the little girl watched the glorious scene as the children searched in the box for her lost treasures. A smile glistened across the girl's face as she watched the other young girl clutch the doll as if she was her own mother. The girl's smile swiftly melted as she looked over to the umbrella stand that was left with puddles of cold water. Her beloved umbrella had been stolen before her very eyes.
