Should we have school uniform

Should we have school uniforms? 

There are many reasons why we should and should not have uniforms. Firstly school uniforms are used to represent your school, and for people to know what school you attend . Others can misunderstand you  when you are not wearing a uniform. School uniforms can also be dangerous if you have social media such as tiktok , snap chat EXT. Our answer is yes because when wearing uniform it will feel like we are an actual school

Our answer is yes because by wearing the same uniform students would feel more included and comfortable around the school. Wearing a uniform will help improve students' self esteem and be more confident. As a school we should look more professional by wearing school uniforms. Uniforms are one of the reasons we can call school a school. 

 The question of whether we should have school uniforms is really something to think about but It is clear that school uniforms make the school feel like more of a school and are more comfortable for the students. Of course uniforms can sometimes be expensive, then people can't afford them, but school uniforms are really important. 

School uniforms have many advantages and disadvantages. Besides, uniforms help people be more confident and pleasant in themselves. For example, if there is a meeting and you are required to connect with students from different schools wearing school uniforms wouldn’t make you uncomfortable. Furthermore, students who are wearing uniforms also feel satisfied with their school. 

Wearing school uniforms helps the student feel more positive about themselves and they participate in more activities voluntarily with high efforts to demonstrate that their school is good. Uniforms are not only to help students be unique from other people, to be more beautiful, but also to make them feel equal to other students. Furthermore, they can be proud of their current school if they are recognized by a lot of people. Uniforms can keep students safe because people know where they belong, especially on school trips,  plus parents won’t have to spend a lot of money on designer clothes. The reason uniforms should remain is because it brings a lot of advantages to students. School uniforms promote a sense of belonging. To conclude this argument, as long as you keep your uniform tidy and safe everything will be okay.

Learning how to save money was great. I have learned that we should put our earned money in the bank because it would be a safe place to put it in. Room 10 and I also learned about lending , we did a few Role plays to show what a good lender and a bad lender looks likes. Getting the chance to work with Tom, Rochelle and Aleisha was awesome. They made lending and saving more understanding for someone young like me. I definitely enjoyed the sessions with you three.

Get your game on!!

 The bell rings for us to go and play. We had got your game on. For our school it was really competitive but sometimes too competitive if you know what I mean. Anyway during morning tea the  kids were all scrambling in the bathrooms trying to shine out in their colours. Our colors are Rata, Nikau, Kowhai and Kauri or Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. All the girls in Rata really went full out with  red lavas, Red face paint, red T- Shirt, Red shoes and Ribbons for their hair. I alway just wore a blue T - Shirt and that's all. I heard the bell go again. It was time for us to go to class and get ready to settle down on the courts.

Room 10´s first game was Lape. It was a really cool samoan game that one of our teachers made. For Lape, the rules were, your class will be separated into 2 teams , for us it was Kauri and Nikau versus Kowhai and Rata. One team will be batters and the other team will me feilding but you will eventually switch. The pitcher will throw it gently and the batter has to hit the ball with their hand. You cannot hit it on the grass therefore that is out of bounds . Lastly after you have hit the ball you run to all corners without stopping and when you touch the middle cone that is a Home run. Whichever team gets the most home runs wins the whole thing.

Our second game was to rob the nest. This was a really quick game. Again we were separated into 2 teams and tried to get as many cones as we could get. When the cones were all finished, before we could steal from the other side we had to do an exercise move 5 times. That was the hardest part. My team didn't win but we still tried our best and cheered ourselves up.

Lastly we played silent ball. Everyone knew how to play this, We just passed it on to someone else without making noise. If you make any noise or drop the ball you are out. However if the game gets a little boring we do hot potato but the same rules apply. There will be more rules added such as one leg up and one eye closed. I won one of those rounds, but I did say good game to the other player. After our game, All classes met back up on the courts. 

Our Deputy principal congratulated everyone for trying their best at all of the games. She then asked  everyone to go back to their classes. This  term got you game one. It was great. I wonder what game the teachers have set up for us Next term.

Should junk food be banned from school?

Banning junk food could be a good idea because it would be helpful for eating healthy. But let's think about the bad thing.

 Kids already break so many rules why put junk food not allowed when yet people can still bring it in so there is no point.  If you see, bringing junk food is just a little treat for the kids but I still can't see why junk food should be banned.

Furthermore, if I were to ban unhealthy food, I strongly believe that if someone cared about what kids weighed and what they ate they would have to encourage the kids them self to stop. It is not a situation that should be brought up to school, such as fat shaming.

Another point is that by banning junk food, The school would have to put a lot of work into it. Like I said in my first argument they break so many rules it could cause some chaos. When I say chaos I mean kids getting in trouble for bringing a packet of chips and kids sneaking them in.

 So my answer is no. If you could see there is a point in my argument so I say no banning our junk food.

Santa's day off

 Across the building on a beach lies a man in a costume. A Santa costume. What could Santa be doing here, has he stopped being Santa or did he get fired from being Santa? Ho ho ho said Santa.

Santa can feel the blazing hot sun all over his body. Santa can see the waves smash little kids in the water. Santa stands up and kneels down to feel the crispy sea shells clash on his hands. Santa stands up and takes a little walk on the beach.

Santa can hear the little Kids scream with joy. He can hear the music being blasted from cars driving past. He stops for a minute, is that cookies? It is. Santa runs to the family and asks politely for a few. A few led to a few more and a few more. Could you believe Santa is fat again.

My wonderful day at the park

 

The beach

 On the most sunny day of the week our parents decided to go on a trip to the beach. When we got there I stepped on the bridge with my sandals. 

I could see the waves crashing down one by one. I can also see the palm trees waving like a tube balloon. As I walked I could smell the sunscreen rubbed all over the people walking past.

I could smell the strong smell of salt water up my nose. Finding a spot to sit I could hear little kids voices playing wild animals. I could also hear the crackling sound from the trees.

I can feel the soft sand against my leg. I can feel the scaly seashells rubbing on my toes.

Getting out of there was seaweed all over me. I could taste the ungrateful taste of water. Lastly we went home and got warm.

Talent quest

 It was the day of our talent quest. I was so nervous that my hands were sweating. I got ready in the bathroom and wished the other girls good luck. I had a few practices in the hallway at school.

It was time for the first item then the next and the next and finally me. I got on stage and sang. I could hear myself through the speakers. I was so surprised that I could sing.

Continuing my singing I had turned off my mic and missed some of the words. By getting  nervous I forgot the words to the song but breathing in I sang the chorus and then the song ended.

A few items later it was time for the announcing for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We waited for the judges to announce the winner, “ The winner is Melepalu'' I was so happy and proud I know i will join next year.

Last day of holidays

Today is the very last day of the holidays for this term. We have had lots of fun at home. It was like lock down but way more fun. I have been able to have fun and do work at home which is a good thing. Today we have done lots of cleaning and shopping. We have broken lots of stuff that needs replacing. That is why we have done lots of shopping and we do cleaning because we like to have a clean house but mainly for my sister's birthday. We have also have been learning how to work out our new smart TV because there are lots of buttons that we can't figure out what they do other then that i have lots of fun at home but way more excited to return to school.

Last week of the holidays

 This week is the last week of holidays so i tried to have as much fun before we go back to school. First of all we have been getting stuff removed from the house for  my sisters 21st birthday. We removed clothes chairs and we even put off the pictures on the wall. Once we finished that we got a 72 inch smart TV for us to have, we then gave away our normal sized TV to my sister who is turning 21 for her to watch stuff in her room. My work is all done and now we can do homework for school.
