                   Fidget spinner’s

I belive that Fidget spinner should be not allowed in class because they stop people from learning and they won't listen to their teacher

I disagree that fidget spinners should be allowed in class because people won’t learn and everyone will be distracted.

I agree that fidget spinners should be allowed in class because they can help me control their hands so they don’t hurt others.

My first reason is The fidget spinner should Be allowed in school Cause  If you fight you can straight away bring the figet spiner out of you pocket and then fidget with it.

My second reason is

My third reason is

In my opinion fidget spinner should not be allowed because they will show it to each other and not listen to the teacher.

Although I have spoken about how fidget spinners can distract students, they do have a good side. My next opinion is that fidget spinners will help people calm down if they are angry.

Perhaps if fidget spinners weren’t invented, a fidget cube still exists so the problem would still be there.

Every kid should know how to swim

I belive that every child should be able to learn how to swim at every school.

I agree that children should learn how to swim because NZ has lots of beaches and you might drown.

In my opinion, it is the responsibility of both the school and the families to teach their children how to swim.

Clearly it is important for every child to learn to swim. However, it can be very expensive if you go to the pools. In light of this, it is free for all NZ schools to teach their kids to swim.

Maybe every child in the whole world should learn to swim because when they have no food to eat they would not Be able to swim at the Beach So they can go diving and catch them some fish for There family

Here is our edited story.

Things we learnt about were

• We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
• Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
• The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
• Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.

On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.

Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“  However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina.  We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.

First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy)  put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.

Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!

I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

On monday the 24th of September 2018 I did not go to school because I was sick because when I wok up

I sick up and it went flying across the room nd land  on the wall and when my mum told me that I had to say home today because I was sick then my mum said I had to say in bied
