Persuasive Writing

In class, I ahev been learning new things like emotive language and sentence types. These topics help me make my writing sound more efficient or interesting.

Hi Mum,

As you already know that I have survival night on Thursday 1st December 2022, which would be held in Waima forest and I would just want to notify you that I really want to go, but first listen to what I have to say.

The first reason I think I should be able to go is I will have a superb experience. I’ll also have a magical time going swimming, bombing, roasting marshmallows, and star gazing. I will be connecting with the people around me and it would be great to help me develop my collaboration with others and not just the people I know. This will also be an outdoor experience, so this could give me a chance to try something in the wild because I’m usually not outdoors. Some challenges have been arranged, that class can engage in or at least try, this could be the time when I participate in something different.

A second reason that I should go to Survivor is I will be learning remarkable skills. The skills I’ll be learning are building a shelter, bush safety, bird monitoring, and making a fire. I’ll also be hiking up a 2-hour mountain, which will help with my health and fitness. Don’t worry you're probably thinking that it is too dangerous, but there are trustworthy adults, that will make sure we are all safe, I will work smarter not harder plus you won’t have me around the house and I have to cook my own food, also I don’t want to be missing out on an event like this.

That is why you should let me go to Survivor 2022 it would be a real advantage for me, so please let me go on this adventurous trip! This will help me physically and mentally I could also hang out with my dearest friends. It would be a pleasure if you said yes. Please, mum! Let me go!

Yours sincerely,

Your daughter.

 

Bike Day

 In class, we had to work on an information report about a bike-ready program, everyone was able to make a dissicion whether they would want to work independently or with a partner. I had a partner: Kobe
On a fine balmy day at Kaikohe Christian School, Years 5-8 students had a bike day program. This was an outside venue where everyone gathered to learn about the importance of being safe on a bike. Years 7-8 were the first on Tuesday 18th of October, and years 5-6 went two days later on Thursday 20th. There were three instructors: Gwen, Sam, and Shay. 

What was the purpose of the day?  

This was an opportunity for young, intelligent students to build their confidence in riding a bike, and enjoy engaging with each other. 

How the day ‘played out    
The day was planned out well, and it was prosperous. Sam called out the student's name and Shay sorted everyone from tallest to shortest, talking about how to put on a helmet properly, and also how to have a dependable balance and ride slowly. Then Sam taught everyone A B C D E Q and she did an example of what it meant showing the years 7-8 what to do. “All right everyone line up!” Shane called out. Everyone raced to their spots and started with a lap around the field and playground. One by one they single-filed following each other at a slow and steady pace. After, there was a challenging game to test people’s unique slow-riding skills, when they were told that they were playing floor is lava, but on bikes, everyone shouted with excitement. “The last man standing wins!” Sam shouted. The years 7-8 were having a blast and were all enjoying themselves. 

Conclusion

The day concluded with riding freely over ramps and giving the constructors a high five for all the good listening and good work that the year 5-8 had done.
