Geometrical sketches

WALT: sketch a piece of writing, particularly one focusing on animals.

In our classroom we have been focusing on  making a piece of geometrical art, particularly focusing on animals/pets. I drew a weird wolf, kinda like a demonic act of kindness...I was focusing on the drawing itself, trying to make it small and cute but also demonic, like a toy that holds your biggest fears for you. Our art is mainly for our school agriculture day, every year we have a day that we concentrate on animals and fun activity's. First we drew on a separate piece of paper, and drew any type of animal (mainly pets). Next we cut it out and glued it onto a coloured paper, then we made our geometric shape onto an a blank piece. Finally we cut out our animal and glued it onto out geometric paper. What do you think?

Plastic should be banned!

This week we have been focusing on persuasive writing and had three topics to choose from
I wrote about why plastic should be banned. I thought it was full of heaps of information and facts. What do you think?

Plastic should be banned!
What if our world was entirely covered in plastic, we would technically be a wasteland for the galaxy. Plastic bags and plastic, in general, is toxic for our planet, including the life in it, Here are some reasons why I think plastic should be banned.

What is plastic?
Firstly talking about plastic, it is a type of substance that a manufactured material made from a wide range of organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, and more... the materials can be formed into shape, while soft, and then set into a firm or slightly stretchy form. Plastic plays a very big role in everyday life, and because of that, it is killing everything.

What does it do?
In addition, the way plastic affects the world and the living things in it can bring huge problems to humanity. Global warming is a case that events include rising sea levels caused by melted ice caps and warming of the ocean's covering. 100,000 marine animals die a year because of plastic and 1 million sea birds get killed by eating it.

History
Leo Hendrik Baekeland. Leo Hendrick Baekeland was the first to create plastic and was also the one who put this world in danger. born November 14 1863, died February 23, 1944, and created plastic in 1907 particularly durable plastic.

For these reasons, I think plastic should be banned and that humanity shouldn’t be punishing the world.

Why homework should be banned!

Room 4 has been working on persuasive writing and this topic is focusing on, why homework should be banned. This topic, for me, was particularly easy but the most challenging thing was finding the right information and factual pieces.

Homework by Ruiha

It is certain that in Room 4 most people are obviously, against homework. Imagine going to school, working six hours, then coming home and doing more! Why should we have homework when we have school?

In fact, most students are getting way too much work assignments leading to unhealthy stress levels, sleep deprivation and unhealthy problems. Harmful stress levels can affect your brain and body, your thoughts and feelings, and behaviour. Stress can also give you health problems, that include high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Sleep deprivation is a common sleep disorder that if you look into it can kill you. Sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness, and increased appetite.     

In addition, homework consumes time for students and can present Students with social problems which homework can also give student’s burdens for they cannot finish nor complete, leading to depression and anxiety. People can develop anxiety from just a simple test or assignment, anxiety affects us all differently, some more than others... depression is a case of sadness usually caused by a traumatic event in life or it can be caused by something as simple as stress.

Another important point is that the teacher has to mark loads and loads of homework, making the teacher even more grouchy than they or ready are. The teacher doesn’t want to mark all of the student's homework.

Sleep deprivation, time, stress, obesity, heart problems, increased appetite... all of these things can be made from too much work assignments. So without a doubt, I believe, because of these reasons that students shouldn't be participating in homework.
