Why are class school rules are important?

Rules are important in our childhood cause what would happen without rules. Without rules There will be a lot of disrespectful people, things missing and a lot of thefts. At Pt England School there are heaps of rules especially for the intermediate block. One of the rules for the intermediate block is that you must take your shoes off before entering a classroom.

With rules It would be safer for children so when they grow up they will have a good education. Respect is one of my main things that i do. In my class most of the students are respectful but we also got thefts because last week on friday About 5 to 3pm my netbook went missing so i had a look around everywhere but i couldn't find it.

If all schools in NZ had no rules at all there will be a lot of consequences and Heaps of meetings with the teachers if you pick the wrong choices. I reckon I am use to the rules at school.

   

Term 4 Immersion Assembly

               Good bye school holidays

Welcome back Point England!. It is now term 4 which means the theme for this term is now called” Art Attack”. This means we are learning something different from last term which is something around art attack. So that means This year we are focusing on art and making art.  

It was going to see my friends walking through the gates just in time for class, also I’ve seen some of them around the area during the holidays. “Art Attack” Mr Burt shouted in the assembly. Almost our whole class was here but some of them were away. We started our day with a welcome back Pt England and carried on with the items.  

Team 1 held the first item but instead of making a movie, they performed instead. Their performance was about the beach having a picnic and having fun. For some children it can be hard for them to understand especially the new entrance but at least it was entertaining. After the video clip the teachers were dancing and throwing lollies to the audience.

Team 2 performed after the video clip they played. It was about primary colors and when you mix two colors it makes another colour. Mostly the little kids enjoyed the video.

Team 3 was about art. There were all sorts of artist like Da Vinci and Andy Warhol. Most of the teachers were dressed up as an artist. Mrs Barks is usually the person that always talks for every item she has been in.

Team 4 Held A funny item about who's got the best art. Mr S was the funniest out of all of the teachers because he tried speaking a French accent but used a Russian accent. The artist with the best art should of been Mr S but it was another artist. I reckon everyone enjoyed the item.  

Yes its now team 5’s item. All the teachers got into groups of two and started painting. As they were painting there used black and white paint. I had no idea what they were painting until they flipped it around.

Cross Country

Cross country was fantastic!

Last Thursday our school (Pt England) had cross country. Cross country is a big run, especially for the intermediate boys and girls. Teacher’s and children were dressed In their house colours. Almost half the school were wearing uniforms instead of mufti. I reckon this years cross country was the best because the weather was sunny and bright.

Feeling prepared for the run I saw my brother waving at me. A few seconds later Mr Burt said “get ready, set...go!” Then he slammed the blocks together. As soon as I heard Mr Burt say ”go” I was jogging with a steady pace. I realized I was getting better, after all the practicing. My buddy (Howard) and I really wanted to stop for a break but we wanted to catch up with the fast boys.

There were a variety of colours as we were running. So far I was coming a tie with Neo but it was hard to catch up because he started sprinting fast. Huffing and puffing it was very hard to breath and concentrate at the same time.

Running to the finish line I had reached my goal. I had improved my time and had a better placing than last year.

Cross Country

On Thursday we had a school cross country. luckily It started at 1pm so we got to go to tech. At tech we switched to a new technology which Is graphics. At graphics we do different types of drawing like horizontal lines, 3d shades and 2d drawing.

When the tech bell rang we walked back to school to change into our mufti clothes for cross country. Almost half the school were wearing school uniform instead of mufti clothes. I was frustrated that I might slip in the beginning of the run.

Under the hot  warm sun I felt a  breeze coming straight past me. A few seconds later Mr Burt said” get ready, set, go” I was jogging with a steady paste as my feet were smashing the ground with the watery mud rising up to my legs.

I managed to jog around the reserve but I made a few stops. As I was finishing the first lap children in the crowd were cheering” go Texas”. Just finishing of the last lap I was desperate for a drink.

Letter To John Key

To: Prime Minister John Key

I am writing this letter to tell you that plastic bags should be banned.

Plastic bags should be banned because sea creatures are dying from eating tiny bits of plastic. Around the world people are littering in the ocean and there leaving a big mess for others to clean.  Around 30 countries have banned plastic bags.

Did you know New Zealanders use one billion plastic bags each year? In NZ heaps of people are use to buying plastic bags for shopping instead of using their own bags. Plastics do not stay how it is in the water, it eventually breaks up into tiny pieces and stays there for about 1,000 years until a sea creature comes along and eats it.

Plastic bags from grocery stores should be banned because people are dumping them in the sea or not using them properly. Sea creatures like turtles think that plastic is food so they eat it. The little bits of plastic can be sharp and pointy. Can you please ban plastic bags?

Yours sincerely

Texas
