Every Kid should learn how to swim?

I believe that every kid should learn how to swim(agreeing).

My first reason is as they grow up having kids and one day they will be having a joyful swim around but suddenly their kid got too far to the sea and started to drown and what do you do? (thinking)what?.

Not knowing what to do because you can’t swim the reason why you never had learned a lesson how to swim, what would happen to you child?!.

To start with, most people will agree that kids should learn to swim while there young.

In my opinion kids should have the chance to swim and they should learn how to swim in a deep pool.

If the kid learn how to swim in a baby pool they will pretend to swim but the thing is that they were actually touching the ground.

I’m absolutely certain that every child in NZ should learn to swim. It is important to acknowledge that paying for swimming lessons can be very expensive, especially if there are more than 1 kid in each family. In light of this, the NZ school system requires students to learn to swim and this is usually free.

It would be worthwhile if every kid should join a swimming lesson so they can learn how to swim

Kids should get free time at school everyday?

I disagree that kids should get freetime every day. My first reason is  if they have free time everyday because the kids get bored and have nothing else to do they just have anything in their little brains with something smart just video games and to much eye looking at the netbook playing just games.

In my opinion they should be only playing games and having free time because when they get to collage they will do anything is act dumb because of nothing that they had learn all they had learn is how to play a game that through these year no learner that means they have to start the whole year again of not knowing what to or just staying in one class for a bit.

But on the other hand people or kids will agree just because they are sick of learning they all just want to is play games and parents well some won’t even care just mind what they are doing.

Editing a Story?

Here is our edited story.

Things we learnt about were

We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.

Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.

The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.

Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.

On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game. 

Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“  However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina.  We had to line up by the heater in our buddies. 

First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy)  put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.

Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!

I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

How do I feel about...?

TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK

“ CHEEHOO!!!!’’ wednesday 5th of september 2018 tamaki primary school had a tongan language week game day. Mrs Tafea and the TPS leaders were helping Mrs Tafea with the games and Room 7 were putting out the games well room 9 and 10 set the games up. Every class got to pick whatever tongan sport they like to play.

The first game I played was Lanita with Ana,Mrs Tafea and maani and all along a lot of people came and played. When we first started I forgot how to play but I remembered how to play because I played Lanita in tonga with my family and my nena. So then the first person to start was Ana when Ana SMACKED!!! The Navy blue ball she did not know what to do so Mrs Tafea told her that she has to run. Then it was Maani’s turn she hit the ball then she SPRENTED!!! Very fast and the look of her face was very serious. When she was running she CRASHED!!!! To the floor and Slipped but then her hands and her stomach touch the cone so then Mrs Tafea said that she made it to the 1st cone. Then it was my turn before we have to swop over When I hit the ball it went to my left side so I sprinted as fast as I can and then BOOM!!! I made it to the 2nd cone But then bad news Jordan’s slippery hands touched me and then I was out then we swapped over but then Mrs Tafea rang the bell. And that was the only game I played .
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK STORY THAT WE PLAYED OUTSIDE.

Tsunami Work

How you know when the Tsunami. Is coming it’s when you see. The Water going backwards. And then coming forward. And when it is coming forward it has a lot of power. To bust down houses. And Energy but if you are very far away you got heaps of time to run or you could just run up the mountain or drive a car up the mountain. And sometimes when you are very far the water will go lower and lower like just say that if you are in christchurch and they had a tsunami and if it was coming to Ackland sometime the water goes High then it goes low and when the water goes low that means that the water is losing its energy. The people are planning for the future so they have everything and they will be safe from the tsunami that could hit them but if there house are stronger and also stronger than the tsunami. People don't have time to get ready because ,they are close to the sea which makes the tsunami much closer to them and they have no time to plan for safely they are to close they have to make time to find a big hill to go on because if you find a tall hill that is taller than the tsunami it would hit you but you will have no time if you have near the water which the tsunami comes. The other people are lucky because as the wave goes it lose it power and strongness and it just a little one and does nothing.

Space Work

The percentage of oxygen in space is lower than the percentage in Earth. Why is there no oxygen in space? Because there is no trees and the oxygen separated to different areas in space like near the sol.

1. Where does Earth get its oxygen from? Earth’s oxygen comes

from tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton that live near the water’s surface and dirt with the currents

2. What things on Earth need oxygen to survive? Scientist have found the first animals capable of surviving in an entirely oxygen- free environment.

 

3. What would happen to those things if oxygen disappeared for 5 seconds? Everyone at the beach would get sunburn, The day- time sky would get darker, Everyone's inner ear would explode, Every building made of of concrete would turn into dust and The oceans would evaporate and bleed into space

 

4. How long can humans survive without oxygen? Six minutes

Why is there no oxygen in space? There is oxygen in space, but the oxygen is spread out that nearly you cannot make use it as a source of oxygen for your body. The earth has gravity that pulls together oxygen near each other

 

Oxygen does so much more than that in fact i'm willing to bet the product are worst then you're expecting. There is 20 percent of oxygen that we breathe. It is mostly in space.
