Persuasive writing.

`Dear Miss Garland

Ask yourself, is this classroom happy? You’re probably gonna say “Yeah we’re pretty happy”, but ask yourself this; could this classroom be MORE happy?

The classroom is getting a bit lonely and we thought that we need something like a class pet to entertain us.We were thinking along the lines of a guinea pig. We chose this because guinea pigs are small and they are portable. Wouldn’t it be funny when it is on a spinning wheel, ohhh so cute! Another good reason we should have one is that they are not that expensive at ALL! They cost about $15 dollars.

And don’t you worry about the problems with a guinea pig, like: what if it poops on the floor? Well guinea pigs are small so we can keep them in a cage and put some newspapers or a tray in it for it’s droppings (free fertilizer!). What if it get’s lost you say? Well we can always put a bell on it if it hides somewhere in the class, so that’s those problem’s solved.

On the weekends, kid’s can have turns taking care of him/her. Think about the joy kid’s will have with a little tiny friend over the weekend. You could probably take it home on the holidays-wait, what about the guinea pig food? Well you’ll get your money’s worth when we’re selling those cute little furry guinea baby’s.

All you have to do is to buy him and we will take care of the rest… Classroom's are a lot happier with a pet, in fact, we will be so much happier that our learning will improve. Caring for a pet brings a sense of responsibility, kindness, and laughter. So Miss Garland, this is what the class is now. Can you look at that Guinea pig face and say no!

Cue the sad music.

Children go home sobbing in their bedrooms after school because we don't have a pet. The class is black and white but if you put a pet in the classroom it will become colourful.Miss garland, will you look into your big kind heart and get us a guinea pig. YOU MUST GET A GUINEA PIG YOU MUST GET A GUINEA PIG! *Cries in tears*

Oh and I won’t breathe until you get the class one do you want to kill one of your own students try sleeping at night knowing the fact that you didn’t buy a guinea pig. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *ghasp*

you must get us a class pet-please, I’m still not breathing! We know you're not a killer so go in and get a guinea pig for the class. *talks through mouth* By the way still not breathing....

Piece of advice, don’t buy a cat with it…

Cross courty exspectations.

For the cross county the thing that I am looking forward to is running or walking round outside I think that I am going to do OK I'm definitely not going to win because I am very unfit.
 The thing that I am dreading is how many people are going to be racing because I don't want to have to be the last person to go over the finish line because that would be embarrassing I think the run is 2.5km at my old school it was similar an I did OK.
 I enjoyed doing it at my old school because I new where I was going this time I am not so sure because I don't know my way around Havelock north it is unknonw to me but I think I will be OK.

circulatory system

Why is there two different kinds of blood:

When you breath in your lungs are filled with air and your blood gets pumped through your lungs and it gets oxygenated and then it is revived and goes bright red. Then it is pumped through the veins in your body when that happens the blood lets go of its oxygen and picks up co2 then it circulates back to your heart and back into the lungs and lets go of the co2 and then you breathe it out this is a picture of the whole system.

This picture shows that the blood with co2 on it is blue and the blood with oxygen on it is red.The blue goes into the lungs to be oxygen

anted and then turns red.  It goes back to your heart and is given a push. It is pumped around your body drops it oxygen and then picks up co2.  Then it  starts again.

Your heart:

Did you know that your heart pumps 5 quarts of blood every minute and 100,000 beats per day? That means that it beats 35 million beats in one year. There are 4 parts of the heart there is the left ventricle and the right ventricle they contract and push blood into your lungs. It is called systole then your ventricles relax and blood from the upper chambers is flowing into them.The upper chambers are called the left and right atrium. There are also 4 valves in each piece of the heart that keep it in time. They are called the pulmonary valve,the tricuspid valve,the aortic valve and the mitral valve . These valve are what separate oxygen rich blood from the oxygen poor blood.

How your blood system works:

Blood is actually made up of lots of different blood cells .These are what carry nutrients to different parts of your body and they take oxygen and pick up co2 that is why your veins are blue and red. blue blood isn't actually blue it is dark red and red veins Cary bright red blood.every time the blood goes round your body it is like a race track when it is at the end it is tired so then it goes through the lungs again and is oxygenated and then it can start again.

conclusion:

If you didn't have a heart you're couldn't pump blood so there

would not be any blood so you would die !!! dun dun daaaaaaa.

     The End!!!

Maths measurment

Today for measuring in maths we had a mini Olympics we had some little made up Olympic sports like javelin we did with a straw and then we did shot put with the balloon trying to throw it as far as positional then there was archery we held a balloon in our fingers and pulled it back and then let it go and the person that got it the farthest won and I got it 2.93cm then long jump but it was actuarial just tidily winkles and then there was flight and there was when we had to make a paper plane and threw it as far as possible.
