museum trip thank you letter

 In our class we went to the museum and we had to write a thank you letter.

Dear Museum Team,

Thank you for teaching us about old fashioned games and going out of your way for it to be fun. I really enjoyed learning about the old Maori games. Most of the games I have never played before including marbles, the 8 point star game, or the animated picture wheels.

Sincerely, 

Archie

For india we did a bollywood dance called chunari chunari and for switzerland we did the lonley goatherd yodeling from the sound of music. Many people brought food from the cultures their class was doing, I did samosas for india they were great and gone in 8 minutes.

Dear Miss Pownall,
I strongly believe that we should have a dog in the class because, It makes you happy to be around dogs, it is relaxing at meditation and even when doing work, and finally it will be a new learning experience and will probably boost us mentally. 


Firstly, dogs make you happy and less stressed. Studies have shown that having a dog can affect the owner´s emotions in a positive way because it lets off a happy hormone in your brain called oxytocin. Many people find that having a dog helps depression by an ever growing rate. I find that in my own life being around dogs mentally calms me down if I am stressed and makes me happy.


Secondly, when dogs are around most people relax .When dogs are around kids and adults can relax more and complete more work because it could be a reward to have time with the dog. When I have meditation with a dog or any animal I am more calm and relaxed. Studies have shown that meditating with a dog can decrease anxiety and help both of your mental wellbeing. 


Finally, it will be  mentally boosting for us,  because it will be a new learning experience for us to learn with a dog plus it will help us focus in and listen because we know no dog likes really loud noises. Studies have shown Pets mainly dogs help depression and loneliness and encourage you to exercise and  be more playful.


In conclusion, having a dog in the class will help the whole class in many ways by making us happier, more relaxed and it will help us with our learning a lot.
