Student Should Not Have To Wear School Unifroms

 Today in Te Ao Whanui we got given another statement. The statement is Student should not have to wear school uniforms. Each period we have for Te Ao Whanui we get given a statement and we have to write about it. Here is my writing.

I agree and disagree with this statement. If we don't have uniforms we don't get to show who we really are. What I mean by who we really are is that with clothes you can show who you are(Tomgirl, girly girl, and more). Another reason is that clothes don't cost as much as uniforms. If you don't have uniforms there will be some rules though. One of the rules for if you don't have uniforms will probably be don't show the 3 Bs(boobs, bottom and belly button). Another reason will probably be not too much makeup. One of the good things if you have uniforms it shows what school you go to. Another reason if you have uniforms and you are good it gives a good review on the school. This is why I think schools should not have uniforms

Book Review

 Today since I finished reading Slide The Corner a few weeks ago I have to do a book review. Slide the corner is made by Fleur Beale. We didn't get to choose what book we could read but I am glad because I really like this book. I think this book is very good. One of the things I loved about it was that Greg still went on with his dream even though people were rude to him. I rate this book 5/5. I would recommend the book for people who like cars. Also why I would recommend the book is that there is a lot of drama and its also shows you that even if people are rude to you, you can still make your dream true. One of my favourite parts was when Greg started driving his mini. Another one of my favourite parts was when Greg's parents were warming up to him. The characters were Greg, Holly, Megan, William, Brad, Shane, Chris, Graham, Dad(I don't know his name). Mum(I don't know her name), Annabelle, Lindy, Mr Shepherd, Mr Carmody, Frenchie, Ted, Jim, Sandy, Gray, Ross, Kitty, Karen, Sam, Ronnie. Here is a photo of the book.

It Is Important That Year 7-8 Do Friday Sport

 Today in Te Ao Whanui we have been given another statement. The statement is it is important that year 7-8 do Friday sport. If you don't know what Friday sport is it is sports that happens every Friday. You can choose what sport you want to do. You have to write if you agree or disagree and why. Here is my writing. 

I think that it is important that year 7 and 8s do Friday sport. One of the reasons I think it is important is that you need to exercise each week. Even if you do sport in the weekend it is still important to do some sport in school. It is good that you do a different sport on Fridays at school than the one you do in the weekend. It is also good that you do at least 3 or more hours of sport each week. Another one of the reasons is because people are overwhelmed with school work and they need some times to let the energy out.

Friday sport is something that lots of schools should do. Why I think that lots of schools should do that is because if they don't have PE that term they can still get some exercise in. I also think that a group of year 9 - 13s each week should also do Friday sport. It should be a different group of year 9 - 13s each week and do a different sport as well. One of the reasons I think that year 9 - 13s should do it is because if they didn't choose PE as a subject. 

Music - Orchestras

 Yesterday in music we started learning about Orchestras. Today we had to research orchestras and make a slideshow or whatever we want to use. We got given questions to answer on the slideshow. Here is the slideshow I made.

Student Summit

Today I went over to Hornby Primary School to present and do some workshops for the student summit. For the student summit, I worked and presented with Alexia. The thing we choose to present was canva. I wasn't very nervous presenting but Alexia was. The presentation went very well. There were more people than I expected. Miss Tozer the teacher we went with made the students that were in the workshop send their work to her. Once they shared their work with her, she chooses some out and shares it on the tv. The reason we choose to do canva is because we have used it lots and it is very easy to use. My favourite part was when the students were working and we were looking at their work. The things I choose to do were creative coggleing and wedeo/wevideo. I didn't know what coggle was but when I was at the workshop I knew what it was. Coggle is a website that you can make mind maps on. I didn't also know what wedeo/wevideo was until we were at the workshop and I realised that I have used it before. If you don't know what student summit is. it's when different schools from the same cluster come together in one place and share what they have been working on during the time. People get to choose if they want to present and then share it with over kids. They could also choose to do some workshops. Before you present it you have to make a slide or something else that explains what the website or tool you are sharing is, how to use it, what it does.  On the slideshow you make you can put examples of what you can do on it. Here is a photo from one of the workshops.

OREO Meaning

In Te Au Whanui we have started doing writing. We are doing persuasive writing. Our teacher told us what OREO means. OREO is used in persuasive writing. Since I have finished my work I had to do the fast finish. The fast finish was to make a DLO about OREO. Here is my DLO.

Needs Writing

 Yesterday in Te Ao Whanui we started doing a need invention writing. The need invention I choose was clothes. Yesterday we also learnt about OREO. The Os in OREO stands for opinion. The R in OREO stands for reason. The E in OREO stands for example/evidence. Our teacher also read us another person essay that had 5 paragraphs. Here is my writing. 
Let’s talk about clothes. Clothes were first invented between 114,00 and 30,000 years ago. In the olden days, they used animal skin to make clothes. The animal skin was also used to make shoes and tunic. Another thing that they used in the olden days was leaf type stuff and fur. Now let’s talk about why you need clothes to survive. One of the reasons you need clothes is to keep you warm when it is cold. Also one of the reasons why you need clothes is to keep your body covered (private parts). If your body parts are not covered it can make it easier for people to harass you. One of the positives of not having clothes is making you less insecure. Then also with clothes people can make them feel less insecure with what they are wearing. There are different types of clothing. For example, something to keep you not saturated is jackets and pants. In winter you need jackets and pants to keep you warm. Unlike in summer, some types of clothes don’t cover as much body as winter clothes do. Some of the clothes are crop tops, shorts, tops, tank tops, skirts, dresses and more. There are more types of clothing. As you see there are many types of clothing. How would you feel if you didn’t have any clothes? If you didn’t have clothes would you kill an animal and use the skin for clothes. This is why I think we need clothes to survive.
