pocket money
Pocket money
By Tukotahi
“Do you think you should earn pocket money for working hard around the house”.
I absolutely think we should earn pocket money, because it teaches us about the real world by teaching us if we work hard then we will be rewarded. Another reason is it motivates us to do our chores with a good attitude towards them,it can also help us do our chores with more effort and have pride in our work and not to get into a huff about doing them.
Working for pocket money teaches us about taking care of ourselves more and not just sitting around while our parents do everything for us. When you get older you will need to work hard to get a job and to stay in that job. You will also need to have perseverance and determination if you want to get a promotion. If you have these two skills then throughout your life you will succeed and go along way. This all starts from working hard to earn some money instead of getting payed for doing nothing when you're young so it gets fixed into your mind.
Another one of my points is if you work for your money than when you buy something you will feel good that you have earn that money. Also it can make you more independant and not need everything done for you.
In conclusion I absolutely think we should earn pocket money, because it’s a good way to get us to work hard and to grow our characteristics in a good way, so when we grow up we will have perseverance and determination and independence,so we will enjoy life and be able to do things that some people wouldn't be able to do.

data file writing
‘This term we have been looking at ways to make our writing more interesting for the reader.
We have used the following criteria to guide us:
- Changing the word order of a sentence
- Using literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, onomatopoeia and personification
- Using specific verbs and adjectives
- Using show, don’t tell techniques
- Using different sentence beginnings and lengths
Here are some examples of my writing this term.
Show, Don’t Tell - Emotions
Happy: I gave a massive smile to my mum and dad on the sideline. Our team was
cheering. We all had red faces and sweat pouring down our cheeks like a waterfall. I ran over to my mum and dad and gave them a big hug.
tired: “What a day” I flop on to the sofa with bags under my eyes, I try to keep them open but it's to hard to resist. I slip away from the world. Then all of a sudden a dog in my dreams wakes me up. I find my dog linking my face.
sad:We had been waiting for hours to get a bite,I finally got one! I started to wind my reel in. It was big I could feel it. I was pulling my hardest on the rod. It finally started to wind in ,when I got to the end of the line I saw that the fish had bitten through the line.

Viking Girl
I throw my bag on the floor and slam my bedroom door behind me. I start crying “Why can’t people just leave me alone. “I wonder Why I can't get dressed up as a viking without being picked on. “People are so judgy these days”! Bags under my eyes I try to stop crying but I just can’t. I feel like everybody is mean to me just because I like getting dressed up.

Crushing cans
This week in science we created a vacuum by using a tripod, 355ml can and metholated spirits. We put the can on the tripod and then filled the can with 35mls of water then we put the metholated spirits underneath. Once the water inside the can was boiled we grabbed the can with tongs then we put the can upside down in a big bowl of ice and water. Instantly the can crushed together and the can split.

DIGGER EXPERT
One day our class was reading then all of a sudden we heard RUMBLE,
CRACK,SCREECH.
Our whole class run out to see a giant digger punching its bucket through the wall CRUNCH.
Soon most of the school was watching the digger SCRUNCHING the material from the classroom.
All the kids SCREAMING as the digger brings down the walls.
You can hear the teachers telling the kids where to sit and telling them to go back to class.
After all of the class was destroyed they watered all the materials on the ground so there wasn't too much dust.

I was pretty excited because I have never seen a demolition before apart from tv.
