50th Jubilee Writing

31.10.14
Oaklands School had their 50th Jubilee on Labour weekend this year. I am in Year 7. In 50 years time when they have their 100th Jubilee I will be 61. In 50 years I think these changes would have happened at Oaklands School...There would be hardly any grass left because the classrooms would be growing bigger. The classroom learning environment would be really different because there would be lot's of new technology around. For the uniform they would have two types,one would be especially for summer and one for winter. I wonder what the school events would be like disco's with dancing robots,formals for older people and athletics with the stars. There would be lot's of students in each class so they would have four teachers in each class. The morning tea and lunch breaks would be longer time to play and way bigger playgrounds. There would be more P.T.A members so we could fit in more activities and technology in the school. And we would get to our sports quicker If there were changing rooms. And that is what I think Oaklands School is going to be like on the 100th Jubilee.

Animal testing no more

WALT: write an argument/speech
Animal testing no more
You may think animals live a sweet life with their owners or happily on there own in the wild,But sadly you are wrong! They are in for lot's of drugs testing just for the things we can live without like make-up,body creams and things like bath salts. Do you think this is fair? If not,you can help this stop by looking out for the sticker that say's "hasn't been tested on animal".

Testing on animals should only be used for medical research to save humans with cancer because it's more important and it saves peoples lives.

Most of the animals that are being used are our very own farm animals that give us milk and food so we won't grow up with strong healthy bones.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Their skin type and reaction to the test will not always be the same result as humans. When it's tested on a rat or something,It might work and then the rat will suffer and then a human will try it and nothing will happen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Overall,I think animals should not be used for testing because it is cruel and they have a life too.                                                                                                                                                                             My next step is to add some evidence to help my argument.                                                                  
The SOLO level I have reached for surface features is Relational because I added in speech marks and capital letters and I know why I used them.

The SOLO level I have reached for my speech is Relational because I made sure my facts were relevant to the topic.

MY EXPLANATION

WALT:write an explanation
Would you trust a well known brand?

Ergobaby is just one company that has been effected by someone breaking the Consumer Guarantees Act.  

We have the Consumer Guarantees Act for the safety of businesses and consumers. And so you don't get ripped off. You can go back to the shop and You will know what to do its best you know everything about it.

There is a real Ergobaby and a fake one,the real one is fit for purpose because it can hold baby in it without the baby falling out. The fake one may drop the baby when the buckle comes apart. Which may kill the baby when its head hits the ground.

The retailer is not allowed to lie to the consumer about anything,like if they say the product is a lifetime guarantee,but it only lasts a day. And that the consumer has the right to expect NOT to be mislead or deceived about the goods or service they are buying.

Overall:Another right that the fake Ergobaby has broken is that the goods they purchase will be safe to use,and this fake Ergobaby is not safe for the baby inside.

Trip to Paris

WALT:elaborating on one idea.

I woke up so early that I could hardly keep my eyes open! Well it wasn't that early,but we had a plane to catch.

"We are going to Paris!" I screamed! 

It was so loud that my mum and dad's ears were ringing. They told me to calm down! So I did.

It was my first time going to Paris. A week before we were going, I had to practice my French, first, I started off learning food like Apple, banana, pear and other foods I like so the French people at the restaurants would understand what I want to eat. I can't wait to eat all the different types of food they have there.

We have finally have arrived at the airport. We have just past all the bag checking points. There was no waiting for the plane, we boarded straight away.

It took hours, but I guess we got distracted by the T.VS on every seat in the whole plane!

We have arrived in Paris!. We called a taxi to take us to our hotel.

I can't wait to see what we're going to do!.



My next step is to complete the task quicker.
