Why Is It Important To Have School/Class Rules?

Why is it important to have class rules you ask? Well, what would it be like having no class rules? There would probably be bullies, a lot of things breaking, no manners, disrespectful kids, swearing and more.

Luckily our class and school isn't like that. We have a lot of class rules, if we wear shoes in class then we have to write shoe lines at detention, theres also a rule where were not allowed to chew gum or else we’ll have to write chewing lines. Our school has rules that keep us safe and well.

Class rules can keep us away from violence, destructions and much more. It can keep our environment much more safe. People that have problems with manners can learn a lot from class rules, they can become a better person.

If our school had no rules, maybe it wouldn't be how it is now. There would probably be more fights, more chaos, maybe our school would be known as a dangerous school. These things are all possible but with school and class rules, it would make probably be impossible.

Just remember class rules can really help a lot of people, it can keep every school safe. Maybe it can lead some people to getting scholarships.

Immersion Assembly

Walking to school, I kept thinking about what our topic was going to be about. At our school we always have a topic to learn about, we also have a immersion assembly every term. For those who don’t know what a immersion assembly is, well it is a assembly we have on the first day of school, each team have to perform a item that relates to our topic.

After we sang our national anthem, Mr Burt (our principal) said a big “Welcome Back!” He then handed it on to team 1. Team 1 did a item where they went to the beach and to see the environment to inspire them with their art. The only thing I like about their item was how they were chucking out chocolate fish.

Team 2 did a item about primary colours. They played a little movie at the beginning that shows all the primary colours and what colours it makes when you mix two of the primary colours together. Team 3 did a item about artists. Mrs Barks (the storyteller) said each of the artists names and explained a little information about what they did and what their artwork was about.

Team 4 did a item which was similar to team 3’s one but we all had to vote for the best artist by clapping and whoever got the loudest claps then obviously they won, and that was the New Zealand artist. One of the artist from team 4’s item was Monet, his artwork was pointillism, it was really interesting.

Team 5’s one was just painting a portrait upside down and a little clip was playing in the background. As soon as they took their artwork off and put it up we all laughed because it was an artwork of our principal Mr Burt, and our two deputy principals Mrs Jarman and Mr Jacobsen.

Upcoming Holidays

Nooooo it’s nearly holidays.

To be really honest I don't like holidays, only December holidays. The reason why is because its always boring and we barely go out. Last holidays we only went out on the last night, it wasn't really fun at all, we only ate at Sylvia Park and then bought junk and went home.

I’m looking forward to these holidays, even though I have an idea of what were going to do, stay home and talk and obviously watching television. I really want to watch Step Up All In and Annabelle.

These holidays better be a lot better then the last holidays!

It's Jordennes Birthday!

Today is a special day. It’s nothing serious and special in New Zealand that’s happening, but it’s a special day for my friend Jordenne. It’s her birthday!

This morning in class we started off with our karakia (prayer) and then a mihi (greeting speech). We didn’t know that our teacher had found out it was Jordennes birthday so I told my other friend Sela to tell her, so she did.

“Mrs Lagitupu, did you know it’s Jordennes birthday” Sela whispered. “Yes I know, just wait for Mele” Mrs Lagitupu kindly replied. So we carried on listening to Mrs Lagitupu tell us what we have to finish and complete today.

Mele ended up not coming, so we ended up singing without Mele. I looked over at Jordenne while we were singing and I knew she was going to be surprised and shocked. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONCE AGAIN JORDENNE! Love you heaps

Term 3 Reflection

This term has been a outgoing and fun term. By outgoing, I mean that a lot of students have been going out for sports and all different kinds of events.

I only participated in two sports, netball and rugby league. Netball finished around week five or six. We then had prize giving the week after on a Thursday. I can’t explain how cool and fun Netball was, even though we lost most of our games, we were all still proud.

Rugby League was the sport I enjoyed the most. We had two practice games against Stan Hope. They came to our school for the first game. In the end of that game, especially after a long day running in the mud, we won.

The week after that game we went to their school for the second and last 

practice game. We eventually came back to school with great news because we won again. Rugby league is probably my favorite sport, after all the experience this year and last year.

I can’t wait for next term because theres more exciting events coming up, like athletics and volleyball.
