Business

 The Important of Business and Enterprise in School

I think Its really important to learn Business and Enterprise in school because when you get older you'll know how to make good decision and choose what items to sell or buy. You will know how to spend your money correctly and make better investments.

In learning Business and Enterprise in school we are able to share our knowledge about business to other people or to a group like for example making arts and crafts, cooking, selling good stuff. 

Yes i think this is best for us students to learn how to manage a business in a simple way and apply what you learned in the future.

 CARR stamps encourage students to make positive choices

Getting a CARR stamp is a way of saying you did a good job on your work. other students will also be encourage to get more CARR stamps and CARR cards so they can collect more by doing a good job doing there work.

OREO Wants

 Today's topic is about OREO Wants and i chose Fortnite.

My opinion is Fortnite battle royale is a really good game. Fortnite Battle royale is a game that you can have fun playing with friends or anyone basically.

My reason is fortnite is the best game ever. Fortnite battle royale is a really really good game considering it only released at late 2017 September 26. You should play it because it’s different from other Gun games from the internet. Fortnite is the first ever battle Royale to have building in the game. It's also the that you can win lots of tournaments from if you get better at the game. You should play fortnite because its a good game and its fun to meet some people.

Persuade writing about phones

 Year 7-8 students should be allowed to have phones at school

Do you agree or disagree?

I disagree because phones are useful. Phones are used all over the world but why not schools. In my thinking phones should be allowed in school Because Using phone in school is a good way for learning stuff that you don't know if you don't have laptop or chrome book. If you have a phone in school and you get sick or hurt you can just call your parents or guardian to come and take you home. And the last if school finished and you have a phone you can call your parents to pick you up.

Persuasive writing

 Students should not have to wear school uniforms

Do you agree or disagree?

For me I think i agree because having no school uniform can express what your feelings are and fit to choose whatever clothes you like. Wearing your own choice of clothes means you don't have to pay for new school uniforms if they are expensive. Wearing your own clothes is also a way to make you comfortable. if you have lots of clothes you can wear them repeatedly. I am happy if we should not wear school uniform.

Roald Dahl: Fantastic Mr Fox

 The book that i'm reviewing is Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl.

My Favourite chapter is chapter 9 "Mr Fox has a plan". This chapter talk about how the foxes plan to get foods because they are starving to death. In Chapter 9, the father's fox thinks of a plan and encourage the four children into getting some foods so they don't have to starve to death in the hole. I also see the same encouragement from the mother fox as well. I like that part because it encourages lots of others to never give up. Also I like how the fox family are working together like my family. This Book is a really good story to read sometimes and I would give it a 7/10. I would recommend  this book to people that like to read short story's. 

8-7 Friday Sports

 It is important that Year 7-8 do Friday Sport

Do you agree or disagree?

I agree because mostly every school day we do learning insides But Friday sport is a good day to learn new sports that you haven't tried to learned yet or a way to improve the sport your currently playing. Friday Sports is also a good way to improve your communication to your team mates. not finish

Cats are a better pet than dogs

Cats are are better than dogs.

Do you agree or disagree? 

I disagree that cats are better than dogs.

Because Dogs is more loyal to their owner and cuter than cats. They can be more friendly to people and can protect their owner when their owners hurt. dogs has a better sense of smell and can smell out anyone or anything.

Ice cream is better than cake not finish

 Ice cream is better than cake

Do you agree or Disagree? I disagree

Cake is better than ice cream for me because cake has better flavours that you could chose from although ice cream has different flavour too. Cake can come in different sizes and different design that could be a present or a birthday cake which the people love. Cake could be found everywhere especially if you are hungry. It is more delicious rather than ice cream.

invention research about whistle

Hello readers. Today we researched about invention and my group worked on referees whistle. It was created by Joseph Hudson in 1883. The referee whistle was invented through an accident across the distinctive sound required and replaced the hand rattle that was used by the police from London. 

William Atack New Zealander was the first person to use the whistle in a game in the year 1884.

The whistle is a simply a high pitched sound made by forcing air through a small opening. It helps people hear if there's something happened badly and also use by referee to any game and stop the players for any violation. The whistle is very important now a days especially to the referees and police force.
