Why wars should be banned

In Te Kinga we have been writing persuasive speeches. It took me a while to come up with and idea to write about because I kind of wanted to do something that I had already wrote about before. Eventually I came up with "Why wars are a waste of time".

Today I made a Screencastify of me reading my speech. I use my Chromebook webcam and microphone. Here is the my Screencastify below.

I tried really hard to make this speech as good as possible

I would like feedback on my speech that will help me make my speech better.

Inspired writing

In our class for the past few ages we have been doing inspired writing. Here is my inspired writing, I haven't quite finished it yet. I think that I am going well though. There will be more to come. I have been doing most of it in lock down. It has taken a while. I hope you like it. Here is the LINK.

Debates

Our class has been doing debates for the past week. Our topic was Rules Are Meant To Be Broken. I was in two debates because there was a person missing here is one of my paragraphs.

To start with, what is a rule? It is an unnecessary guideline that is in the way of everyday life. They are a load of rubbish and are in the way of fun. Rules are right in the way when you are a child and want to play. Imagine if you are climbing a tree and then you are told that climbing trees is not allowed. You would climb down and then find something else to do, and then imagine you're told what you have found as a substitute is not allowed either. You have to mope around doing nothing until it is time to go to bed. I mean like everybody wants to do something with their day. Who wants to follow a strict rule sequence that stops you from having any fun? Not me. Rules are a whole load of rubbish right in front of the door, not moving and right in the way, also smelling bad too. Don’t let rules rule your life.

The other one was for my other group. Here it is.

Rules are an absolute waste of time. People have to follow them and that normally makes them waste a lot of time that they could be doing other things. Rules are not as important as having fun. Lots of people everyday waste time following useless rules. Wouldn’t you rather be climbing a tree than watching it grow? Well I sure would. Instead of waiting for life to happen for you, have fun and do what you want to do, not what someone else wants you to do. Don’t just sit there and let your life happen for you. Rules shape your life and just overall ruin it. No one wants someone else controlling everything that you do. You can choose what you do, you don’t have to follow someone else’s rules.

We just had a small debate that is why there is not to much. Debates are fun and I would like to do another one.

Common house rules in other parts of the world

In our class we have been learning about rules for when we go back to school. One of the tasks we had to do was find some common house rules in other parts of the world. I have got three countries.

                       

Five Interesting Rules And Laws.

In our class our Topic is rules and one of the tasks were to reasearch some interesting laws and rules in other countries. Here is a bunch of diferent laws that I found interesting.

                         

A day in the life of my cat

At school our writing task is to write about what being our pet would be like. This is a day in the life of my cat lacy. It is bending the truth so don't beleive all of it. I like writing narritives and this is mostly one. I hope you like it.

A day in the life of lacy

 I woke up with the sun shining on my back, and I thought “not another human filled day”. I walk up to the door and start scratching on it “MEOW”. That should get their attention. I wait at the door but nothing happens. “MEOW”. Finally the curtain is pulled back and my humans are looking at me very grumpily. They open the door and I jump inside and nestle down onto a giant weird soft elevated sitting device. Just as I get comfy a human comes along and  starts having a discussion with another human. A plate of food is put on the table in front of me and just as I am about to put my head up to start eating it, the sitting device tips up and I go sliding onto the floor. No respect I say.

With that food incident I am starting to get hungry. I walk over to the nearest human and meow at them. It looks like they are holding food so I follow them out the door. They walk straight past my food bowl and over to my rivals, the chickens. I’ll show those humans who is more important. I sprint to the chicken run and jump over the fence. The chickens are startled and start running away, but I’m faster. “SQUAK SQUAK”. I catch up to them and pin them to the ground. A victory for the cat. I look back at the human who is charging at me waving a spanner. I am not easily defeated. I charge at the human who is very surprised and disarm him. I turn around to finish the battle, But then I am picked up by the collar and taken back to the house.

The humans have put the food in the bowl but now they won’t let me outside. I am content to find a way to get out and until then it is war with the humans. A blue mouse has been dropped on my head several times and when a blue mouse is dropped on your head you just have to play with it. But this is war so I must focus on taking the food bowl. One of the humans hands isn dangling off the edge of the couch and I know what to do. I need those hands to open the door. Charge. DONK. the hand moved one second before I got there and I went thudding into the couch. I land on the floor and crawl back to my base, the Curtain. As I am plotting my next move one of the humans is staring at me and it is kind of weird. All of a sudden it starts to walk towards my base. I am ready to defend it at all costs, but then something strange happens. The human opens the door. Well I’m not waiting to get killed, I ran right out of there and to the food bowl. Victory.

Pet Sketch

In our class our topic is all about pets. One of the activities was make a pencil sketch of our pet. This is a sketch of lacy my cat. It was very hard to draw and it took me a long time. I hope you like it.

The Cheerocaturtle. The most amazing pet ever.

In our class we have made a mix of as many pets as we like. I have taken pictures off the internet and taken away parts of the animal so that I am left with just the parts that I need. I have joined them together to make my creation, The Cheerocaturtle. I hope you like it.

The Cheerocaturtle (pronounced, Chee-roc-a-turtle.)

The Cheerocaturtle (pronounced, Chee-roc-a-turtle.) The Cheecrocaturtle is an amazing pet that is ideal for any temperature or terrain. They come in sizes from as big as your hand to the size of you. The most ideal pet size is from your hand to your arm. This creature will eat anything from cat food to little bugs (depending on size). It will only eat meat though. It lives for around 30 years and will be only $30 to purchase. It has the ability to run really fast, protect itself from danger and have a powerful nip. It enjoys swimming and can breath under water as well as playing around in the long grassy areas. It likes to run and catch smaller animals as well as swimming around and through obstacles, it will enjoy any game.

Wing Of Fire Word Search

I have made a word search for a series I have been reading called wings of fire. I made one with pen and paper but you probably can't see it so I did an online version. Hope you like it.

Appliance graph

This is the link to my graph on a learning activity that we did at school. We were given a whole bunch of appliances and then we had to rate them with how much we needed them. This graph shows the results.

The Dishputawasher

I have adapted the ever normal dishwasher into a machine that puts all of the dishes away as well as washing them. You put the dishes in and press the start button and it all happens like a normal dishwasher. But then once the dishes are washed then a robotic arm comes and picks up the dishes and puts them on a conveyor belt. Then the dishes are taken into there separate draws and all then it is finished. You may have to zoom in to see the diagram properly though.

The Drinkanator

This is my stop motion animation that I made for school. We had to make our own appliances, so this one is called the drinkanator. I hope you like it.

My ANZAC diorama. The WW1 battle on Gallipoli.

This is my Diorama of the WW1 battle on Gallipoli. This is when the ANZAC's first arrived.

My 20 dollar note

In our class our teacher told us to make our own version of a bank note. We could choose any note of our choice so I chose a 20 dollar one.

ANZAC activities

I have so far done two activities for ANZAC day. I am going to do one more. The first one I did was draw a picture of a scene at Gallipoli, Here is my picture.
I have also baked some ANZAC biscuits and are yet to try them. They look pretty good though.

My Pepeha

This is my pepeha. I did this at home while we where at lock down. I hope you like it.

My First Day In Lockdown

My First Day in Lockdown

In the morning we had to wake up really early so that we could get into town. We had to drive all the way to
grey mouth swap cars and drive all the way back. Boring if you ask me. When we got back I had breakfast, did
all the usual morning stuff and then opened my chrome book and transferred into the world of school.

I opened my chrome book and went straight to maths buddy. I did it for at least 1 hr. Now I know why long
division is called long division… It takes for eeeeeeevvvveeeeeeerrrrrrrrr. Really annoying. Anyway I did
some more maths after that and I also completed our E quiz thingy me bob. After that I made a map of the house.
It took a while, Obviously. I took some pictures here.

After school we performed a play to help Zak ( My brother ) this his religious education. It was a really long play and it took forever to perform. I kind of wish Zak could do it himself! But it wasn’t that bad though and it was kind of fun but I didn’t really understand it. Here are some pictures.That is the end, I hope you enjoyed it.

Swimming Sports

Swimming Sports

On Wednesday the 4th we went to swimming sports at the Greymouth swimming pool. I entered in a total of 9 events but I don't know how well I did in them yet. It was a big day and everyone tried hard and did well. Overall we had a lot of fun.
