Live, Work and Play Safely" by Heather Hammonds

Live, Work and Play Safely” by Heather Hammonds

Think about an activity that you do, or a sporting activity you belong to and make a list of the rules that members need to follow.  For each rule, briefly explain why this rule has been put in place.

Rugby

The Rule is …..	Why this rule has been put in place…..
No tripping up.	The rule is put in place because it could start a conflict.
No high tackles.	The rule is put in place because you may break or damage their spinal cord
Don’t wear sharp pointed shoes.	The rule is put in place because you can leave a badly wounded arm or leg.
No forward passes.	The rule is put in place because the game would not be fair.
No shepherding.	The rule is put in place because it is unfair to let  someone else take the tackle.
Wear a mouthguard.	The rule is put in place because  if you don’t wear one you could possibly break your teeth.

My group made a graph of a sport and we had to explain the rules in the graph.

ANZAC Landings

A Thousand ANZACs And Me

It’s 2 am and I have just got my head around this campaign.  I thought that being with my best friend Jamie we had no reason to be frightened. But that all quickly ended. There were a thousand ANZACs and me all crammed into an old boat.  Suddenly I heard a big BANG! repeating on and on.

I identified it as a machine gun that the Turkish troops were using against us.  I had no hope any more. I knew I was going to die. A thousand rifles and bayonets versus a machine gun that held the high ground. We stood no chance.

I felt a strong pain in my arm.  I fell to the bottom of the boat. I had been shot.  Was I going to survive? At the edge of my sight I could see my best friend shot in front of me.  Blood was leaking from his chest like a waterfall.

 A thousand ANZACs and me were no more….

Plastics Good Or Bad ?

 Plastics Good or Bad?

Plastics are good because we can reuse plastics. So we can reuse plastic bottles. When you drop them they will not break like the glass bottles. Also plastic is very light when compared with glass and ceramics. Plastic containers are  handy for storing foods and drinks.       

Plastic is a good way to store harmful substances such as bleach.  Many items that were once made of metal are now made of plastic. Cars are a good example.

For all of those reasons we think that Plastics our good and useful

By Jack and Bailey

Me and my buddy Bailey were working on a task called Plastics Good or Bad.We were focusing on finding reasons why plastic is good for our every day life.

My Speech

My Speech

Do you think we should ban Pokemon cards at school? Hi i’m Jack and today I’m going to be talking about why pokemon cards should not be banned from school.

First of all these cards contains math so playing them  can help to educate you in a way. So take Wigglypuff 70 hp vs Snugbull 70 hp and so hypnoblast 10 - hp and tackle 20 -. You have to add and subtract when you play this game.  This will help you to get better at your Maths in class.

Second of all playing Pokemon Cards  are enjoyable and fun because nearly half the school plays it. Did you know T.C.G stands for trading card game?

Third of all the rules, well they’re very simple and fun to learn because it makes new friends and you get to know other people. Without knowing you will probably now nearly know half the schools Pokemon players. This will help build better friendships around the school and make our playground a happy and peaceful place to be.

Fourth of all the pokemon online games are also helpful which also means (more math=more knowledge). Games such as Pokemon Deluge,X and Y,Silver Soul and the official T.C.G online are found on Nintendo 3DS and P.C Windows.

Fifth of all When you buy more cards you can chose themed decks,the type of energy types Pokemon take will be fighting, electric, water, steel, grass, dragon, dark, fire, fairy and psychic. They are great fun and help you to be creative and use your imagination.  All important skills that will help you with your learning in school.

Sixth of all the hall in school could be turned into the school’s very own Pokemon centre. In the morning when parents drop their kids of in the morning they could try finding people to bid, trade and put on a Pokemon auction or just leave them there with a teacher until morning tea or lunch. Meanwhile at lunch or morning tea you could trade, play inter school games or play trainer(stater)games with other beginners or be a trainer or a supporter to others.

Thank you so much for your time and always remember this speech and then  hopefully you will have second thoughts on not banning Pokemon cards at our school. Remember my name is Jack and I vote to not ban our Pokemon Cards.
