Imagine sitting in a boiling classroom with pants and a long t-Shirt on then you have to go outside in the red hot sun. Or imagine you sitting in your freezing cold classroom in your shorts and a T-shirt and then having to go outside in the cold weather. Hi, I’m Lucas and I’m going to persuade you into not having to wear school uniform.

My first reason is because of the temperature when you're in summer you can get really hot while you are trying to learn and you get distracted. Or sometimes you keep going to get drinks because you're so hot and you get less learning time. When it is winter time it isn't as bad but you still get really cold.

A US-specific study found that students perform better academically, but their behavior does not improve either way with or without a uniform on. But another study said that there was no academically improvement and no change in behavior. So guess you just have to ask the students.

 “I asked 45 students at my school the same question. If you had a choice would you wear a uniform or not wear a uniform”. 13 of them said they would rather wear a uniform and 32 of them said they would rather wear mufti.

Do you really want to wear school uniform all the time I know I don’t, because of the boiling heat and the freezing cold, plus it can improve my academic work. Did you know mufti improves a student's attendance? 

                                           

 

For writing, we had to write a persuasive piece of writing. I did mine on why we shouldn't have to wear school uniform at school, I think I did pretty well. I would appreciate some feedback. 

What are you Thankful for?

For blogging, we had to make a photo collage about what we were thankful for. I did New Zealand because I live in new New Zealand which is a safe environment for me to grow up in. I did Richie McCaw because he helped us win the Rugby World Cup and because he is one of the best rugby players of all time. I did my family because they care for me. I did sports because it's fun. I did food and drinks because you need them to be alive. I did TV because it keeps me occupied when I'm bored. What are you thankful for, name 3 things.

I was really surprised how the dog found her owner even though she was 125 miles away and I was really surprised that it didn’t get attacked by any wolves or bears. Something really interesting is how he opened the train door with his paw.

For reading, I went onto kiwi kids News something to read and that's when I found this article about a dog. The dog did some amazing stuff (PRESS LINK TO READ). How do you think the dog found its way home?

The exciting 104-story Treehouse!

For reading, we had, to sum up, our books in six words. My book is the 104 story Treehouse it is so funny. I would appreciate some feedback. Have you read The 104-story Treehouse? How would you sum it up in 6 words?

A awesome pepeha

Hi, for Maori we are creating are pepeha, first, we had to find out some things about where we come from so we emailed our parents. Then we had to make a slide show about our pepeha. My slide show is not finished yet but I would appreciate the feedback.

The Great Origin Of Food

For a Homebase Hauora, we got to choose our favorite food and do an inquiry about it that our teachers set for us. I choose pizza because who doesn't like pizza! It's the best food ever created! It is not finished yet but I would appreciate your feedback.
