Schools Should Have a Dress Code

 In writing we have been learning about persuasive texts. This has been really fun and challenging. I hope you enjoy!

Vary sentence beginnings, structures and length. Write simple and compound sentences (by using conjunctions). Use some complex sentences. Use simple and compound sentences with a variety of beginnings, lengths and structures. Use some complex sentences to create pace, flow and interest. Use linking words and phrases to link some paragraphs. 

Have you ever been sick with kids being mean to your children just because of what they are wearing? Well with a school dress code that will never happen again!

Hi, I'm Xavier and I will be telling you why schools should have  a dress code. I think schools should have a dress code because it helps students not to bring their attention to fancy and expensive clothes. Dress codes in school settings reduce social conflict and peer pressure that may be associated with appearance.

If we don't have a school uniform then kids clothes can get ruined and ripped. If schools didn't have a dress code then parents would be forced to buy their children new clothes every week. But with a school dress code you can just 1 or 2 uniforms. This is beneficial for all the students that can not afford expensive clothing.

Having a dress code has many other benefits such as: It makes everybody look neat and tidy. It makes the school look more professional. It doesn't cost as much money. What is your opinion on a school uniform?

Should Schools Ban Junk Food?

 Should schools ban junkfood? 

My answer is no. Wouldn't you love to open your lunchbox and see a delicious burger and tasty chips waiting for you. I think junk food should be allowed in schools since every individual has the freedom and fundamental right to choose what they eat. Junk food is a common treat in your lunchbox, what if you have done something well and deserve a treat. If junk food was banned there would be less of a option of rewards. This is beneficial for those students who cannot afford expensive food. If you are against this then put a limit on the junk food kids are allowed to bring to school, like 1-2 treats a day. Junk foods are commonly known for their negative effects, but there are also many good benefits. For example ice cream provides calcium.  Whats your opinion on junk food in school?

Umbrella

 Kia ora! Today I will be showing you my writing, in writing this week we have been writing a story called umbrella. We watched an animated video then wrote down some of the story. My favourite part about this create was that we brainstormed each sentence before we wrote it. This create was really fun to make hope you enjoy!

Can you find the simile that I wrote?

Umbrella

Early in the morning just before darkness fell, the gateway to Miss Elem’s Home For Children opened wide. The girl with the bright, sunflower yellow umbrella, angrily entered the orphanage before finding a home for her soaking wet, yellow umbrella. Not wanting to be seen Boris snapped his head around the door frame so that he was hidden from view. Standing off to the side the girl observed the glorious scene while the children dug in the box for her loved treasures. The girl brightened up while she watched the young boy speeding around the room like a rocket. Her smile quickly vanished as she looked back at the umbrella stand and all she saw were little cold wet puddles. Her treasured, precious umbrella had been stolen!

Anzac Day Comic

Kia ora! Today I am going to be showing you my ANZAC day comic. This create was very fun to make. It was really fun beacuse I love making comics. We had to make this comic on a story called Harry´s war. The Harry´s war story is about a guy who is in a war he wins the war but he dosn´t dont know if he should be happy or sad. Becaused they have no way of getting home. Do you think Harry´s war is a fiction or a non-fiction? Hope you Enjoy!
