My First Argument "Should We Cook at School" by Carlitos

Cooking at School

CARLITOS 18.5.16

I think we should cook at school because cooking helps learning so when you grow up you get to cook your own dinner.

Firstly when you go to school and your class is cooking you can teach your friends after you teach your friends all your skills then they make food for themselves.

Secondly when your friends are old  they will be able to cook themselves.

But you could have an argument that we should not cook at school because it wasted time and your learning, so you wouldn’t do any maths or reading.

To conclude I think we should have cooking at school now so we agreed that we should have cooking because we can read the labels on the ingredients and the recipe and measure the cooking things for maths.

Vinnie and I are cutting up the apples and feijoas for our crumble pie.

I used the flour sifter to sift the flour for the pizza base.

The crumble is ready to put on the fruit.

We shared our lunch with Room Three children.

Zayne Cares for Paihia Beach

’The Beach’

On Friday the school slowly walked to the beach. I walked to the beach with my class. When we arrived we put on one glove each.

We picked up all sorts of  rubbish. I saw disgusting filters on the ground. On the sparkly sand we found tangled fishing line with rusty sharp, sharp fishing hooks .

Then we made a  sandcastle.The sandcastle was sparkly.

Afterwards we quickly walked back to school. I was buddied with Mark.I hope we do this again.
