Wainui camp 2021

Today we decided to create a slide on our favourite memory at Wainui camp 2021.


I did mine on kayaking because I found it fun as I did it with my friends, we got to go in our own individual kayaks and we went round two heads and looked at the caves. We learnt alot about world war 2 and how they would get their weapons if they ever got attacked. Next time I go kayaking if I do I would like to put less focus into getting eaten by a shark and more focus on kayaking. I enjoyed kayaking because I liked being in the ocean and drifting off in the water on my kayak. What was your favourite activity? tell me in the comments below.

My term 4 inquiry civilization

 


For inquiry this term we did something differnt, we had to figure out what would we do to live if we got dropped in a random civillization. Half way through building our worlds I was currently in the taiga, I hadnt been getting much done and hadnt really understood what to build in the taiga so I switched to the tropical islands. I chose to switch to the tropical islands because i thought it would be more fun and a better civilization choice for me. I had almost finished my world in the matter of 3 days and I was now working on my slides, I had finished my slides and almost finished my world but it still seemed to look empty, so I decided to add more buldings and places throughout the next 3 weeks of inquiry. I made a slaughter house, villages, turtle house, parrot house, 3 main houses, police station and dungeon, llama pen, star gazing area and a second village. We had to find out the matirels we were able to use to be able to live in the biome we had selected, we had to figure out food, clothing, transport, housing, education, laws, currency, entertainment and protection. What did you do for your inquiry? tell me in the comments. I hope you have enjoyed reading this if you stayed long emough to read the whole thing, This was nice to do and build with friends and I hope you enjoyed it to. Bye thank you for coming onto my blog, have a nice day! :)

Childrens opinions should matter more

 ¸·I believe that children's opinions should matter more·¸

  Persuasive argument!


Children's opinions are much more important than you think, quite a lot of children's ideas and opinions can be used depending on where you are and the argument. Many children struggle when telling people about their opinions, for example if a child would like to explain their idea to an adult it would be so much easier for them to speak to you if adults and some people listened.


Children's opinions can be very important in many different situations, You could say that children don't know a lot of the complexities of many situations compared to adults. But children will always know what they like, dislike and hate. Children under the age of 18 have always had to show respect according to adults. Respect is always a good thing to have for people but what if someone is 23 or 30 whats makes them so important that they don't have to show respect to children's or anyone's opinions?


Kids find it difficult to explain and be able to articulate their feelings and beliefs. A Lot of children's ideas can be quite unreal and confusing but therefore adults should still listen to them. Different kids have different opinions and Every child will agree to disagree with alot of other children, some kids have pretty big ideas and pretty small ideas but they both still deserve the same amount of respect.


Children can be very argumentative in some situations whether they agree or disagree with your opinion. You can't judge a child's beliefs, depending on what their beliefs are. Letting a child explain their opinion to you will slowly improve their social skills because they will begin to become more confident in themselves while speaking. 


In conclusion, I think that children's opinions should be heard and listened to more, it's a waste of kids' strong opinions and great ideas. to not listen to them. I think these three reasons prove that children shouldnt be unheard, have I convinced you on this argument?




For writing we had to make a peice of writing for persuasive writing, this peice of work was quite a while ago because we did persuasive writing last term. I did make heaps more but out of them all this is my favourite one. This writing peice explains why I think childrens opinions should matter more than they should. I have 3 points an introduction and conclusion, I hope you enjoy reading this blog post and have a nice day! :)

persuasive writing on why I should get a bunny

 Why I should get a bunny

I believe that I should be able to get a bunny because bunnies are very kind animals. They take lots of work which keeps you active and motivated. Bunnies are inside animals, the reasons why they belong inside are because they are prey animals so any animal can really eat them, which wouldn’t be good to keep them outside if you have a dog or a different animal that could easily eat it. 


First of all you wouldn’t have to care for the animal because that would be my full responsibility. Bunnies take full care which will keep me active and I won't become lazy. It will also keep me entertained and busy, it will give me something to do throughout the day which will get me off my devices. 


It will give me responsibility, and if I learn responsibility at a young age it will prepare me for the future. There are plenty of things that it will prepare me for because responsibility is a very important thing to learn at a young age. And if we had an animal in our house and I had to look after it, it would teach many things about animals. So if I get a child or an animal when I'm older I will be completely prepared for the experience. 


The last point is going to be about its breed. Most bunnies are completely safe and do not affect younger children. Bunnies are small prey animals, they are very caring and need full attention. They are very curious animals which they will happily just roam around the house without bothering anyone. They are mainly meant to stay in their cage either inside or outside.


In conclusion I think that I should be able to get a bunny and care for it.



For writing we were working on persuasive writing. This writing peice was made a little bit ago because I didn't know what to post so I decided to post this. We had to choose an animal to write a peice of persuasive writing about, I chose to do a bunny because I thought those types of animals would be nice to care for. The imformation I got about how to care for a bunny surprised me oh how much work and attention bunnys need. Would you like to have a bunny? tell me in the comments below. Have a nice day and thanks for coming onto my blog :)

Me, Kadie and Olivia's animation!!

This is an animation me Kadie and Olivia decided to make during literacy in book weak. This animation has the characters thing 1, piglet and peppa pig. The main story is that peppa pig scares piglet causing her to slip of the cliff and thing 1 throws his wig into the water to help keep piglet afloat because she cant swim. Thats all the spoilers im going to leak into this blog post but make sure to come back when its done. We might take awhile to work on this because we have other things to work on during literacy but we will try. This blog post is a working progress so leave a comment down below and tell us what we should add next. Thank you for coming onto my blog and have a good day! :)
