New Zealand Flag

1/4

WALT:Write

I strongly agree that New Zealand should NOT change the flag.

My first reason is that John Key (Prime Minister of New Zealand) is not caring about our country because if he did care he would let our opinion matter not like all of New Zealand knows that the flag will get changed, no matter what.

My second reason is the flag costs $26 million to change. John Key and his government are just so greedy. He could spend the money on much better things like helping families that are poor or homeless, donating it to funds for the needy, get schools to have more education or activities, rebuild Christchurch and help countries that have had bombings or something bad happen.

My third reason is everybody who wants to change the flag always has this excuse. Australia copied us with the flag, no they did not. If Australia copied us why don't they have the exact same flag to us then. Also Australia was with us in war so if we change the flag they will think that we have betrayed them.

My fourth reason is why do we need to change the flag? I know I have said this already but our flag is perfect now so we have no reason to change the flag.

Thank you for reading my argument.

WALT: Challenge ourselves to take new risks.

On camp I challenged myself to do Abseiling because I thought I would drop off or fall off, but I put my fears aside and believed in myself and I did it.

On the Krypton Factor are team worked together through the obstacles to get the bucket of water threw it and we won.

My year!

Being a year 5 has been awesome.
Why?
This year I went to Year 5 living springs camp that was a blast when we go too see the country side and get to know all the people in my class.
All so this year I got the chance to go to Orana wildlife park it was really cool to see all the cheeky,friendly and funny animals. I leant a lot about the wild life!

I got some much opportunity's to do things since i was officially a senior student.
I got my Bronze,Sliver and Gold this year!

I wonder what year 6 could bring me?

Word work week 7 term 3.

WALT:look in a dictionary and search up the letter at the start of our name and make a paragraph about all of the words.

What I learnt was to search up the letter of R in my name and make a sentence out of all the words I found.  

My next step is make it funny - I found it hard to make the sentences funny with the words I found. 

Peace dove week 6.

WALT relate to others. 

This is my peace dove that we made for peace week about what people think we are.

What I learnt was that I was wrong about what I thought I was and that others think that I'm better. 

What we did was write down on others paper what we thought they were. Everyone had to try write on everyone's paper a positive comment or word to describe them. 

My next step is to try to and have more faith in myself that the good things people wrote are true. 

Blogging

WALT describe a character 

What I leant was to describe a person with what they look like and what did they do.

My next step is to describe the character bit more.
