Should Women Be Allowed To Vote?

Should Women Be Allowed To Vote?

 Yes I think that they should be allowed to vote because otherwise it is not fair. Why should only one gender be allowed to vote maybe a woman has better reasons for what they are voting about. Maybe they could be voting about who will be Governor. Maybe they are talking about building a house or a shop and the man makes a decision that they could build a million dollar skyscraper and the woman suggested that they could build a shop that they needed like say they didn't have a farmers shop and the woman suggested that they build it. If everyone in the population has a chance to vote it makes it harder for a bad decision to get voted in. So in my opinion I think that women should be allowed to vote!

Netball Court

In room five we had to measure the width, length and the perimeter of our netball court. We were learning measuring. We were told to get a buddy unfortunately I had no buddy to work with which made it way more harder for me to make this. I have made a Google drawing with my working out on it.

Pet Day

Last week we had a pet day and we made a slideshow about it. I made it with Miro and we made this pretty easily. All we had to do was write a couple of words and then all we had to do was add pictures and that is pretty much it. Here it is.

Kereru Wood Pigeon

In Room Five we have been learning about the New Zealand Wood Pigeon. We have made a slide show about it and here it is. I hope you like it. Can you please comment on my blog. it was tricky making this because we had to find photos which were hard to find. There weren't that many pictures of the Wood Pigeon. I worked okay with my group and would love to do it again.

DLO maths

A few weeks ago Miro and I made a DLO for fractions in maths. Here it is. I hope you like it. It was tricky making this because we couldn't think of a problem but in the end we finished it. I am learning how to find a fraction of a set.

''OUS'' sounds DLO

This week we made a ''OUS'' sounds DLO for spelling. It includes words like ravenous and other words that end with ous. I worked with Joei and Miro. I hope you enjoy our DLO and please comment on my blog. We had trouble making this because we had a lot of sound going on in the background.


Lunch Combinations

last week we made lunch combinations for maths we had to choose from pie, wrap, hot dog and there also fizz and juice they were all the things we could use to make combinations. here are all our combinations.

Stop Motion Animation

A few weeks ago we joined with Room Two. We made a stop motion animation (SMA). we had to work in groups of two. There were a lot of them but they were all different and about different things like a league game and a forest like my one. There were more but I can't remember. It was hard making this because everyone was talking and I couldn't think of what to make but then I thought of an idea and then I made my stop motion animation. it took a long time to make it. 

Pet Day Persuasive writing

Room five had been getting ready for Pet day which we will have in term four. We have created a lot of different writing. Here is my persuasive pet day writing. I hope you enjoy it.

Discussion




 I have been learning about writing a discussion.

I have included:- a title, connectives
a conclusion that recommends one view over the other. 
                                  


Should we be allowed to have a class pet?
                                 
Many people question class’s who have pets asking is caring for pets many are unhealthy and interfere with learning.

I will discuss points for and against having a class pet.

Primarily, class pets teach children to be responsible adults. Pets such as  dogs, cats, fish take a lot care because their special food.

Furthermore, having a class pet is a great way to learn budgeting. As children learn how to feed and take care of a pet, it can improve their  maths skills because children would learn to know how much to feed them and understand measurements and numbers and money.

However, class pets may be unhealthy because as some children may have allergies. Some people may not like their smell and may become sick.

Lastly but by no means least, class pets may become aggressive and may bite because they are kept inside all day.  

In conclusion, I definitely believe that children should be allowed to have class pets because they teach children how to take care and to be gentle towards other animals and keep them healthy.

Starting School

IALA recounts.

I have been working hard to support my ideas with detail.

Starting School in 2017.

When I hopped off the bus I was so excited to start a new year at Paparoa Range School in 2017.  I was really glad to see my friends again and to see my teacher as well. I heard chatter everywhere.

As soon as I walked in the school gates I saw buildings trapping the playground as well as the field. there were lots of rooms and a big slab of concrete. Included in the buildings was an office and six classrooms.
When I saw the swimming pool it made me want to go swimming again. I had not been swimming for ages because I had not been for all my holidays. 


As soon as I stepped into Rum Whā I saw little desks and a massive activeboard. 
When I put my foot on the playground I saw a big flat platform that was soft and blue with all sorts of equipment to play on like slides, bridges, climbing walls, monkey bars, flying fox and a firemans pole.
