You won't believe this Persuasive writing!

                                   Persuasive Writing! 

Welcome back to Pieta'sblogathon Today i'm going to be sharing a piece of my persuasive writing to all of you lovely people. This piece of Persuasive writing is to all the teachers in New Zealand it is about HOMEWORK! I hope you enjoy this: From Pieta  

I think we should all have homework! 

I believe we need to have homework because we should be practising spelling reading and maths in and out of school. We should do this because we have heaps of subjects at school and sometimes we focus on one subject more than another subject. I think we should only do the simple subjects that will really help us in the future. Some kids have  after school  clubs but you could choose what day of the week you do your homework and you would only have to do it for up to 30 mins.  

I think this will really improve  kids listening in school because they could give feedback on what the learnt about the subject. My personal opinion is that I like learning new things everyday. Sometimes when I go home and finish off some work that I didn’t get to finish and when ever I do that I seem to learn something new. Even if it’s something that I know heaps about I love to discover more about it. Personally I love learning new things but that's my opinion.  

Some kids  might disagree with my argument because they don’t want to have to do school work out of school. Some kids during school time don't listen to the teacher and don't know what they have to go off and do. So maybe if they do it at the comfort of their own home they might be able to listen   and Concentrate properly. And they could  also ask  for their  parents help if they get stuck. 

And finally I think we should all do homework because it really improves on our writing reading maths or literacy. Homework improves our  learning skills. I also think homework  gets  you ready  for high school I think  they  need to know what homework is like to experience it later in life.  Please consider my idea Thank you.  

Question Time: Do you guys like writing and also do you argue with my argument

The choir at my school is very fun and every week we get to do new songs my favourite song so far is Sucker by the Jonas Brothers you should listen to it. I love Choir because I know I can be myself around all of my choir group.

Also I get to hang out with my friends and laugh and sing with them. For our Choir warm up we do the warm up called Funky chicken. Have you ever done that warm up?

Hello everyone welcome back to pieta'sblogathon today i'm going to be talking to you about our awesome Ferrymead trip. We travelled all the way to Ferrymead and got a whole tour of the amazing Ferrymead. We travelled back in time to the "olden days". We dressed up in old clothes and went to an old school and did a class about writing calligraphy with ink and a quill. Next we had a kiwiana morning tea. We watched a movie about the life of a kid our age in the "olden days".  We had a playtime with old toys and me and my friend Holly went and saw the willow tree at the back of ferrymead. We were  acting all day as if we were very fancy.   Here are some pictures:
