Why Chilldren Should Not Get Paid Pocket Money For Doing Jobs?

Children Shouldn’t Get Paid Pocket Money For Doing Jobs !

I have wrote a persuasive writing to show that "Children Should Not Get Paid Pocket Money For Doing Jobs. I have decided to share my 3 main reasons why "Children Should Not Get Paid Pocket Money For Doing Jobs, Is because I want to share my side of the argument and I want to persuade you to agree with me and think the same.

Introduction

I strongly believe that children should not get paid pocket money for doing jobs. Here are my 3 main reasons that support my argument.

Value For Money

Firstly, children need to learn the value of money and that money doesn’t grow on trees and that you need to earn money by doing hard work. When children get older and start earning money they will not learn how to save their money and they might spend it on frivolous things. Children will expect money all the time and think that money is a normal thing.

Family Values

Secondly, another important thing is Family Values.  It's unfair if parents have to give money to their children for doing everyday things like making their beds every day, washing the dishes, cleaning their room etc. Doing all those jobs are a part of being part of a family. If they get paid for doing everyday jobs children will not learn to do those things when they are older and no one will be there to pay them.

Children Are Not Responsible Enough

Lastly, I think that children are not responsible enough to take care of their own money. They might buy inappropriate things like R16 games etc. Children might get in trouble with matters of money with no parent supervision and also the parent might never find out what their child has bought with their own pocket money.

Conclusion
In my opinion, I believe that children should not get pocket money for doing jobs.  Parents, you should remember that you can't show your love to your children by giving them money.  You could spend quality time with your child\children if they have done all their jobs and have been good like going out for ice cream , having a bike ride together etc.  I hope you are persuaded and think the same as me.

What Did I Do When My Class Went To Camp?

Since I didn't go to camp I will be telling you what I did while my class went to camp. For the first two days I stayed with Mrs Love because she was going with the year 4's for camp and they were going on Wednesday. But when the year 4's went to camp, I stayed with my buddy hub for 3 days. My buddy hub is Room 16\17 and they are year 2's. The teachers of the class are Mrs Hill and Mrs Kelly.

Wednesday 15.3.17
Since they are year 2's and I am a year 6 I had to help them with their learning which I was exited about doing because I felt like a teacher. Also, on that day they were learning about worms so they made worms. First, we put jelly in a cup, then on top of it cream and finally jelly again. Then we put straws in the cup and put it in the fridge to set. Mrs Heibner helped us make them. Well, that's what I did that day.

Thursday 16.3.17
The next day I did the same with helping the kids with their learning. Before that day, we made jelly worms so that was the day we got to eat them. Mrs Heibner first showed us how to squeeze it out of the straw so everyone knew what to.  Everyone pulled out a straw from the cup and then squeezed the straw and out came the jelly worm. I loved eating the jelly worm, it was really yum. My favourite bit was the cream. The cool thing about the jelly worm was that it actually looked like a worm when it came out of the straw.

Friday 17.3.17
On Friday, it was St Patrick's Day, so the teachers decided to something St Patrick days related. So Mrs Kelly decided to have a group making scones but to make it St Patrick's Day, she added green food colouring. I was in Mrs Hill's group and the kid's who didn't want to make scones could make Hairy Maclary Puppets. You could make puppets out of paper bags and paper plates. I decided to make it out of a paper plate. I made muffin McLay.

So that is what I did when my class went to camp, I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. See you next time :)

Here is Mrs Heibner showing the kids how to squeeze the jelly worm out!

This is what the cup should look like:)

Sences Poem Bamboo Forest

The Bamboo Forest

I see  The Canopy above me and leaves falling down       

I smell The beautiful wind of the earth

I hear  The leaves crunching under my feet as I walk

I feel Like I am in heaven right now because the Bamboo tastes so good

I taste  The scrumptious juice from the bamboo

I think That something is going to appear out of nowhere

Kayaks was one of my favourite things I did at camp. I was scared the first time because I have  never been kayaking before.	Here is picture of me wrapped in my towel out of the river because the river is freezing!
I am Kayaking for the first time in this photo and as you can see from my face I look really scared.	This is me coming out of the crazy slide. This was one of my favorite slides because it is really scary but at the same time it's fun:)

My Passion Blog Term 3 Week 10

This week Mrs Miller said that we can do our own choice passion blog and I was really excited about this to share what my passion is. Well my passion actually is quite girly - I have got two passions. 
Number one is making hairstyles and number two is doing nail art. But I actually like making hairstyles more so I will give you step by steps how to do a fishtail braid, this is my favorite hairstyle to do in the summer time.

1. Number one is to put your hair into a high ponytail.
2. Then put your hair into two sections.
3. Now get the right piece and cross it over the left section.
4. Then get the left piece and and cross it over the right section.
5. Then get the right piece again and cross it over the left section. 
6. Then get the left section and cross it over the right section.
7. Keep on doing it when you want to stop and put your hair tie on.
8. Its a really easy hairstyle but it looks really difficult. 

So now your fishtail braid is done,thanks if you comment:)

Week 7 Term 3 Driftwood Art

Driftwood Art

This is what my word looks like

My class, Room12 did some driftwood art for the art exhibition. We were inspired by Jack Marsden Mayer. He makes animal art out of driftwood. So we made our own driftwood names. The day we were going to do it Mrs Miller said that you needed to think of a name for your driftwood art. Mine was Livy so I collected all the driftwood that I needed. So then I sat down and started to make my name. But It didn't turn out right so I thought of sky.I found this super cool S and Y already made. The S was made out of bamboo tree. The Y was just normal driftwood. For the K I just had to find 3 pieces of driftwood, one long and two short ones. Once I had made my word I showed Mrs Miller and she took a photo of it. Then it was time to glue my word together. Then a few day's later we had to tie a string onto our driftwood.


Jack Mardsen Mayer

His name is Jack Mardsen Mayer, he's from Manchester, England but he lives in New Zealand. He attended Gordonstoun International School where he studied sculpture. He has been working with driftwood since he arrived in New Zealand 2008!

My Trip To Auckland!!!

  

The Start

Yay, I yelled we are going to Auckland. Last Thursday and Friday I went to Auckland for an important thing. I was kind of sad because Room 12 had an assembly item to do and I wanted to do it to. We went to Auckland to see our guru that we believe in, he is a god to us. He has special words and he gives them to people, he gave them to my mum and dad. My mum and dad are not allowed to eat meat and they are not allowed to swear. They have to say those words when they go to sleep or when they wake up. You have to be 25 or over to get those special words. I can't tell you more because its private.

The Morning

We had to wake up at 6:00 clock in the morning, I had washed my hair the night before so I just had to have a shower and it did not take me long. So when everybody was ready we locked the house and we set off to Auckland. I was so sleepy that I just slept in the car, when I woke up we were in Taupo. The trip was really tiring when we finally reached Auckland.

The Hotel

I was excited to see the hotel, we were in a 2 story house, I have actually never seen a 2 story hotel so it was from the living room and then you we went upstairs, there were 3 doors. In the middle door is the shower, the left door is the kitchen and the right door was of course the bedroom.

The day

Finally it was the day to go meet our guru, I was full of excitement and as well nervous.  I had to sit in the child's room, my sister and brother were allowed to go where all the adults sit.  I sat with one of our family friends she could not go in because had to take care of her baby so mum told me to stay with her. Finally our guru came, he gave us his blessings, it was really good, we got to ask him questions, I did not because I was shy.

Coming back to Hastings

On Sunday morning we had to pack up and leave because we were coming back to Hastings. We shopped on Friday and Saturday. I had a fun week in Auckland.

We Should Not Allow Pets In Our School!!

In my opinion I think no school should allow pets!

I strongly believe that your pets could get lost if you are playing with your friends and then you realise that your pet has run away from you!! Another point is you would also be wasting your learning time, if your class and you are looking for your pet.  Another reason is that your pet can jump through any classroom window while you might be talking to your friends. You might not even know what classroom your pet may be in or the classroom may be locked!

Some of the kids might be allergic to pets and they could get really sick and the parents would not like their child to go to the hospital! If the kid might be allergic to pets they could also get really itchy and have really bad rashes. For example  they may be learning and they could get so itchy that they could bleed?

Also kids sometimes can get distracted really fast if they like the thing that would distract them like pets. Instead of learning they could be playing with the pet the whole time or just may be  looking at the pet the whole time. Finally when their teacher gives them a learning sheet to do they won’t know what to do?

You should agree with me that pets should not be allowed at school.

Term 2 Reflection.

This is a Term 2 Reflection about Rippa Rugby!!

I enjoyed Rippa Rugby this year so much because it was my first time playing it and I really enjoyed it. I chose to play Rippa Rugby because I always play Rippa Rugby with my brother and sister. The good thing was that this game had no tackling so you were not allowed to tackle anyone or you would be disqualified. I think I would love to play Rippa Rugby next year. I think the exciting thing that happened was that my group won the semi final. 

Week 10: Matariki Day

Matariki

Poi Making

Yesterday it was Matariki day which means means Monday the 15th. My hub is Kauri Hub, we got to do lots of fun stuff but we were only allowed to choose two things, one before morning tea and after morning tea. But after lunch the Kahurangi dance people came in and taught us maori games. There was hand games, String making and Maori Knuckle Bones.
My two activities I chose was Poi Making and Weaving Matariki Stars.
I did Poi Making before morning tea so that means I did it in the morning. Of course I did Matariki Stars after Morning Tea. 
So for Poi Making our teacher was Emma, I know Emma from last year because her daughter is my friend. So the first step was to make the 4 plait and the colours were green and white. We could do two types of different plaits, there was this 4 plait you could do or a fishtail. I chose the fishtail because the fishtail is a plait you can do for your hair and I know how to do a fishtail. So when we were finished plaiting we got some newspaper and tied that in a knot with the string. After that, we got this fluffy thing and put that over the newspaper. We got a plastic bag and put it over the fluffy thing. Then we cut off the rest plastic bag and then our poi was made. 
Then we just learnt how to do some actions with the poi, we also sang a song, it was fun making poi’s.
Weaving Matariki Stars 
After morning tea my activity was weaving matariki stars. I think I found that it was really tricky, I thought that I would do two matariki stars but actually I could only do one. The first thing that we did was we got 4 coloured strips of paper. I don’t remember what colors I got. I wish I had the instructions because I don't remember how to make one. But if I had the instructions I would still need help and practice over and over again to make sure how to make one without instructions.

Week 2: Pencil's Necklace

It was 2006 and Pencil was at the park. While Pencil was going down the slide she noticed that her necklace was not on her neck. 
"OH NO!!!!" cried Pencil. "Where is my necklace?" 
Pencil loved that necklace so much she could not ever lose it.
"Come on, time to go Pencil” said Pencil’s mum. 
"Okay", replied Pencil with a sad voice. 
Pencil did not tell her parents that she had lost her necklace otherwise they would be very angry. The next morning when Pencil woke up, she meet Elsa from Frozen. Frozen was Pencil’s favourite movie and she of course knew Elsa. 
“Hi Pencil” Elsa. 
“Hi Elsa”, replied Pencil. 
“What are you here for?" asked Pencil.
"I am here to help you find your necklace." said Elsa.
Pencil jumped up high because she was really happy. So when Pencil and Elsa reached to the park they start looking for Pencils necklace. 
“Look what I found” said Elsa to Pencil, “Is this your necklace?” 
"Yes, it is Elsa" Said Pencil
Then suddenly Elsa disappeared. 
“Oh” said Pencil. "I wanted to say thank you to Elsa for finding my necklace".

Week 1: In The World Of Space

I was sitting on the chair waiting for my clothes to get washed while I was reading a book about a Space . Wow, where am I? Am I in space? This is so cool, but how did I get here?
Is this a dream? So then I pinched myself to see if it was a dream. 
Ouch!!! This is not a dream, I was standing right in the middle of Venus Planet. I quickly need to jump to another planet. My feet are burning. So then I jumped to Saturn that was a little better than Venus but it could get me sick because it is very very cold. So then I just jumped on to earth - the best planet. Peep Peep went the washing machine because the clothes were washed. Was that just a dream? I said to myself.

Venus

Earth
