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.

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.

persuasive pet writing

W.A.L.T write a persuasive text 

persuasive pet writing

It is unacceptable that people think all kids should have pets 1 they are expensive 2 many kids have allergies 3 lots of kids have anger issues.

Firstly pets are extremely expensive and on  top of that they eat a lot of food which is also expensive dogs will also cost a fortune is damage to furniture and carpets from their muddy paws. Don’t get me started on vet bills they are just crazy .

Secondly many kids have allergies, which can make them sick or even be fatal so don’t get a pet without checking if you or your kid have animal allergies. Also more than 10 people die from pet allergies.

Finally some kids have anger issues which can lead to harm for the pet or the kid. Let me explain a dog can get hurt by a kid and then it will strike back leaving the kid in the hospital or the pet in the vet or both, so be careful up to 100 people die from animal attacks each year.

In conclusion not all kids should have pets, but if you do make sure it is the right one.

Thank you for reading my article,

Because the dragon might attack Where is the ship going? though time and space to a far and distant land. because he accidentally ended up in our land when he was trying to get to another planet What will happen as the ship goes into the storm at the end? he will go though time and space to a far and distant land.

In my class we watched the day the crayons quit and then we wrote a letter for why our crayons would be mad. I hope you enjoy

ARCHIE!

 Black crayon here. I'm gonna make your life a misery. Stop using me to colour in happy things. Colour in something evil, or just snap me. It is very hard to be angry and mad if you keep using me to colour in puppies and bunnies, try a dark cemetery sometime.

Your very destructive enemy,

Black crayon.

Here is the video

Reckless Ruin

In my class i watched this short film called ruin by Wes Ball it was very interesting and nobody spoke but you heard the sound of running we had to answer some questions about it 

• When is this story set? 2500.
• How do we know? Because it is a post apocalyptic film .
• What do you think has happened? world war three broke out and it is every man for him/her self.
• How did one man survive or are there more? there are more cause one person kicked the box one man was driving the space ship and the main character and the rest are probably in hiding .
• What is trying to stop him and why? the person is trying to stop them from finding the secret bunker that is the only place that is safe.
• What will happen next? the world exploded and they have to go into space.
