Should Charlie be in Room 2 for the day?

 Lexi Howse,                                                               Room 2,                                           

NBC 


28th August 2020

Dear Miss Pownall,



I strongly believe that Charlie should come into Room 2 for the day. Reason 1, Charlie can be used as a learning tool and can be used as a reward to make us work hard. Reason 2, Everyone gets stressed from time to time but it might be nice to have a calming dog there to comfort us. Reason 3, who wouldn't love to have a dog in the classroom? They are adorable! Studies have also shown that dogs Love meeting new people.



Firstly, Charlie can be a learning tool and can be used as a reward. An example from my own life is In Lock down my Dad would say finish your work and then we can go out for a the dogs . That's an example of a reward. 


Secondly, Everyone can get stressed anytime and any way. He might be very helpful for people who might be feeling stressed or upset. I remember when my dog  made me feel better when I was worried about cross country.


Finally, Every dog is comforting, supportive and of course Adorable! Who wouldn't love to have a cute furry little monster in the classroom for the day?   


In conclusion, I strongly believe that Room 2 should have a dog in the class for the day that is my persuasive letter. Do you think Room 2 should have a dog in the classroom? 


Sincerely,  Lexi Howse

Why all children should not have pets.

W.A.L.T To write a persuasive text 

All children should 

             Not have pets 


  I strongly believe that all children should not have pets. 

   I state three reasons why not all children should have pet reason one  They take up all of your attention reason  two They are expensive 

  Plus the stuff you need to buy for them reason three. Some dogs are very vicious and not suitable for families. 


Firstly,

 Say you were going out for dinner or going out with the whole family you would have to leave the dog home alone 

It has a lot of responsibility to have a pet and takes up 

Most of your time think before you buy. 

 


Secondly,

They are expensive and plus having to buy all the proper 

Equipment or care that a dog needs i believe it's bad for all 

Children to have pets


Thirdly,

They are vicious and sometimes not suitable for families even if you have a small child and a vicious dog that wouldn't go down 

Well. 


In conclusion,

I strongly believe not all children should NOT have pets this is

My persuasive writing of why all children should NOT have pets. Do you think all children should have pets?

The Prodigal Son

The Prodigal Son

In this blog post I will be talking the prodigal Son and what i think the
Story Means



First in the story the youngest son ask for his money for when he moves out he asked for that early the father said yes and the younger son moved out and spent all his money on silly stuff like party's and eventually  he became poor and the young boy starved and decided to go down to the farm and get a job but nobody gave him any food or money so he decided he would go home and apologize   when he came back the father saw him coming and the father ran up to him and gave him a big hug  and the father said we will through you a big party and the father said kill the fatest cow and cook it  and they had a huge mean while the oldest brother was working in his fathers field and when he came out of the field he saw flashing lights and asked one of the servants whats going on inside the servant said your brothers back and we are throwing party for him then the servant walked away and the father came outside with son. The End

I Think the story means
that  you should never spend money on things that you don´t need and no matter how mad you are at somebody you should always  forgive.     Thanks For Reading!

UNREAL ARCHERY TAG Archery tag is Amazing and here I am going to tell you why. When you play archery tag you have these big bows and arrows. We had to break up into pairs. My pair was Scarlett. That was for practicing we didn't have the targets like you would normally see in stores. We had these targets that had a little wall with holes when you hit them they fall out. The game was like that too. We had to hit people with the arrows and get all of the other teams holes out before they got all ours out.

 We had big inflatable things to hide behind. We were allowed to go into the middle to collect arrows without getting hit. We did this with Mr Gray and a couple of other parents joined in.We played on a big grass field.


 Thank you Living Springs for this amazing experience and for everything you provided. I Would love to go again
