Shay Celebrates his 8th Birthday




During our celebration Inquiry, Shay celebrated his 8th birthday with the class. His marvelous parents who are fantastic cooks baked some delicious caramel and chocolate cup cakes for us all to share together, we sang "Happy Birthday" to him. We are all really impressed with one of the gifts he received from his grandparents in England, an absolutely amazing Star Wars T-shirt. Tonight he is going out for tea at his chosen restaurant "King Waa"

Angela's Argument about "Bullying" in Bully Free Week NZ


I.A.L.T. write an argument about bullying. I can write an introduction, supporting paragraphs and a conclusion. I have included correct punctuation, persuasive words, connective words and correct spelling.
Should we Allow Others to Bully Us?
NO! I definitely do not think that we should let anyone bully us in any way, either with their mouth, body or objects. In New Zealand this week is anti-bullying week so we are highlighting the fact that bullies ARE to be STOPPED.


I think we should DEFINITELY not have people bully us anywhere. If people get bullied, the next day they might want to stay home and not go to school ever. Sometimes if the teacher isn't in class the bullies can bully one person or more. The person thats getting bullied they might feel embarrassed. Some people might feel stuck when they have been bullied.


Secondly, some people can get people calling them names. When people call someone a mean name that’s called name calling. And also when people get name called, the person that they were calling names at they can become violence. When people call people or kids nicknames they sometimes feel lonely. When people or kids bully with name callings they say mean names or they say your name wrong.


Likewise, when people or kids deliberately leave you out, what would you do or what would you feel like? In this situation, like if you were standing right beside two people and they were asking people if they want to play and NOT asking the person right next to you you would feel excluded.
Certainly I think we should NOT have others bully us. Again I think we should, NOT have others bully us. Have you ever been bullied, if you have what would you feel like? Would you feel lonely, embarrassed or a victim?
