Atlantis

Once the sun greeted a new day, I was Wide-eyed and wondering while I wait for others to waken. I thought to myself that the world was an oyster, that was still fresh. Underwater was clean as a whistle. I start to hear “rrrrrrrrrrrrr mm” from the motor boats from up above.  As slow as a snail I float up upon the water.

When I see the location of the boat , I see them dump a plastic pipe into the water to suck up everything  , and they had already started on using axe’s to shave the whole reef off. Watching them do this made me as scared as mouse from a cat , so I ran into town and hid in the underwater bakery. In that moment I thought I saw one of the coral’s turning brown but I didn’t really worry about that after still stressing on what the humans were doing here.  

As I came out of the store , ‘’holy cheeseballs’’ I said as the tank was half way till empty and most of the sea creatures were hiding from them before they were taken from the sea. There were already sea creatures taken to the boat and thought this was the day of our death. I couldn’t really see who exactly was taken since that day I lost my glasses at my old soccer field I used to play at. When I saw everyone taken away I thought that this needed an end to it. I swam up sneaking against their boat , when an anchor was on top of my head about to drop without me noticing.  When it dropped I heard a whistling noise coming down from the top of me and when it was about 120 centimetres away it had already hit the ground before it even got me. After my death been nearly caused I ran far away knowing I had no way of saving atlantis. So I strided off to my old soccer field.

Sitting down alone I could hear the water been sucked and nearly empty , I sat there thinking that my life wasn’t even over I still had a few more years till my death. Why now? When I sat there I saw these glasses that looked like my old ones. I tried it on and there it was , it was mine. When I got it back , I knew what I had to do and never give up on the place where I live. So I went back up to the boat and there were words on it saying , this water is poisonous and there will be a big change to the sea creatures living in atlantis which is for them to move to a happier place. When I saw that , this was all just a misunderstanding.

But they were all actually right , that’s why carroll's all started to turn brown and why I couldn’t really see it because I lost my glasses. When I saw this I left myself go and floated off to my new home. Our new home was just right.

Persuasive writing 2016

Cell phones are the number one thing that people should not bring to school. Many students have cell phones these days. You would often see teenagers talking on their cell phones or just as often texting. It has become a part of the everyday life and a part of society.  Many teenagers and pre teenagers get cell phones as early as possible, sometimes younger than 12. So here are my reasons why we should not bring our cell phones to school.

Cell phones should not be at school because, of the distractions from the ringtones that you get from a text message or even a phone call. It will be very rude if your phone rings during an exam or even if the teacher is talking, because first of all you are not paying attention and second of all you will lose your concentration on the exam.

We shouldn’t have cell phones in class because if we were to lose our cell phones, it wouldn’t be the teacher's responsibility because it was our fault on, bringing it to school in the first place. Even though you try and ring it, It won't help because you will need like someone in all the rooms that you remember you were in, so it should stay home.

Cell phones are not to be at school because , you might say,“ I need to call my family, something came up and I have to.” What’s the point of bringing your phone when you can just ask Ms Mary in the reception , and ask for the reception’s phone. It’s not that hard.

So to sum it all up, There is an absolute 90% of children in the class that will not pay attention to the teacher ,because the children will more likely want to do their own things on the cellphones. So I recommend you to leave your cellphones at home because it might get stolen. SO LEAVE IT AT HOME!!!!

Adapted Mind Maths 11/03/116

For this week in maths we have been doing all different kinds of games like Adapted Mind. It is a game where you can learn of different kinds of math for example (Algebra) if you are struggling with algebra you can click Algebra and then this will show up.

 Then you would have to click one of the munchkins and a equation would appear like this. Once you have answered the equation then you would get good job or monsterific because it obviously has monsters in it. When you have answered all the munchkins then you will  move up a level.  I made it to level 6,  as I progressed it got harder and harder so at the end it was a bit of a challenge. If you would like to try it out, click the underlined word in purple.
