Man Visits Disneyland

Today's reading enjoyment was about a man visiting Disneyland 3000 days in a row non stop. He tried keeping his streak but sadly Covid-19 ruined his mission. Jeff Reitz and his friend had originally planned to go every day of the year 2012. They were both unemployed at the time, and they wanted a project to get them out of the house. But after they made it through the year, they decided to keep going, The friend eventually stopped their streak in 2014, but frietz stuck at it until Friday March 13 which was the last day before the park's closure.

Kiwican

 Today Room seven had their first Kiwican session for term 4. We had our usual teacher Mrs Mac and Lina. Our Theme for the first three weeks was Respect and our topic was Respect for our school. We played a quick game called heads up where we had to look at a different person and make sure we don’t have eye contact. If you and another person are looking at each other you are out. After we played our game we had a little chat about respecting our school. After talking about respecting our school we played GKQ which stands for General knowledge quiz. This week’s lesson was really fun !

Argument writing !

 Bula Vinaka, my name is Ngakiri Amosa and I am a year 8 student currently at Glenbrae school in Glen innes. As you all know, Our community is a small community known for many things. Our class is now learning how to write arguments based on the topics our teacher has put for us. As you can see by the topic on my doc, we are arguing about Glenbrae students wearing what they want to wear at school. I am supporting the text, and I think it is best for our students to wear anything to school.

 

Firstly, students should wear anything to school ! Why ? because kids might only have one set of uniform to wear for the next five days without any washing or cleaning. Especially those students that play around a lot and get sweaty or dirty. Which isn’t very hygienic at all. 


Secondly, Some of the schools I've seen don’t really have thick sweaters, shorts, rain coats and many more things. Which makes the child more cold and sick. And during this time, getting sick is really bad for people because they might get sick as well. 


Thirdly, I know people have hard times finding their uniforms after the weekends. I mean, I even go through that all the time. But if we wore anything we wanted, we would’ve been ready right away. The clothes might be so delayed and still in the washing and you might have to wait for it to get  washed, dried and folded for you to use it again. Sometimes children are even late to school because they are trying to find their school uniform. 


Fourthly, Even if we had uniform children will still bring mufti to school anyways. Children bring mufti because the uniform is either thin or small for them. I think students should wear anything they want because some of the school uniforms are very expensive. I know parents go through hard times with money and jobs now. Some students don’t even have anything to eat for lunch. 


Lastly, Most of the students from other schools get into a lot of fights with other different schools which will bring shame to their school and community. Especially when they are wearing uniforms which represent their school.      

 

Kind regards 

Ngakiri
