Science Technology

In science we got given a rap within our groups and we got to learn it and come up with
some actions, then we got to decide if we wanted to be filmed.

Debate blurb

What is a debate?

A debate is an argument or discussion between two sides. There is a chairman in the middle with the timekeeper and three speakers on either side of them. There are speakers 1,2 and 3.

It looks something like this:

We recently had a debate in our classroom. We all got split up into groups of 3 and got given a topic. My groups topic was, people should only go on devices or watch television for 1 hour per weekend. We had to be ‘FOR’ this topic which meant we wanted this to happen. Our hardest challenge was writing about something we didn’t agree with.  My goal for next time would be to speak a little bit louder and to use rebuttal.

Discussion text

Some people at HNI say that we should change our uniform, but some say that we should keep it. Both sides have valid arguments for what they believe is right.

The students in favour of changing the uniform say that it is terribly hideous and heavy. The uniform is also extremely expensive and if we wore mufti it would be a whole lot easier for parents. HNI’s jumper is also itchy and uncomfortable, which makes people not want to wear it. The uniform is not warm enough either which makes people awfully cold. Most students at HNI don’t like the colour of the top because it is too light and the yellow looks disgusting.  

The other students who are against changing the uniform say that it is formal and unique. HNI’s uniform is a great idea because people can tell what school we are from and if we wore mufti it would all be a bit confusing. Another reason to keep our uniform  would be to save our own everyday clothes. It would also minimize the arguments with parents in the morning about what to wear. The school jumper is also very unique because you can sew badges on to show what goals you have accomplished, because people won't want to sew badges onto their own clothes.

I believe that we should keep the uniform the way it is. Even though people say it is itchy, it is still formal.

In inquiry we made a campain video about what we would do if we got elected.

What am I? Poem

What am I?

I’m new to the world,

with not much experience in anything,

I like to cuddle up to people.

In a few months I will be able to crawl,

in a about a year I will be able to walk.

I make noises that might annoy some people,

but later in my life I will be able to talk.

In reading we were reading What am I? and Who am I? poems. Once we had read some we made our own poems about something.
