'The Giver' - Reflection

How does the community use laws, and how does it use tradition,  to control its citizens?

The so called council made the community up in the clouds so if someone would be able jumped of they would survive because there is ground just below the clouds. No one knew about so they people who made the rules so they listened to them.They tried to hide all violence and warfare and people did not know what death was because they called it release; but to them they thought they were leaving the community. They made the rules pretty simple so people would want to change the rules they set and people get to scared about breaking they rules because that the council is watching them everyday. It used the word tradition for things like  everyday jobs and ceremony  like ceremony of the twelve.
The Giver is a book that we have been reading in class.We also went to the movies to see the differences and changes to the story.

Persuasive Writing


Why should kids go home from school at 3:00 pm instead of 5:00 pm


STUDENTS should always be coming from school at 3:00 o’clock because it is hard to Wake up in the morning is a hassle I know,but it’s even harder to get up when school ends at 5:00.I think that people should not be going to school at 5:00 because do we really need to change our school time so people would be tired everyday from coming to and from s school and not enjoy the day?!



At five o’clock it is always someones time to go home when they're out in about, it is dangerous to go out at five o'clock.Parents CAN NOT FEEL like their good parents when they have to work day and night thinking their is an option that when their sons or daughters are walking out or biking at five they could have been found with some creep that will hurt them or they get hit by a car and be seriously injured. Also at five o’clock it gets dark and rush hour normally starts,it is harder for parents to get to their kids when the traffic is in the way making so that is more dangerous because there is a lot of cars are coming in.
                                        
Students normally have sports on the end and middle of the week and when you change the time people would think HOW COULD YOU DO THAT and the fact that students would not be able to go to their sports training it would be just a tragedy!. PEOPLE NEED SPORT like rugby or soccer because it’s in our nature but when we have not got time for training when it is at five o’clock,WE WOULDN'T GET ANY BETTER at our sports.People would not be active at the school if we would not be playing sport or other commitments and we would start lose some academic value to our school in the sports area.
                                                                               
Parents tend to get worried when their sons or daughters don't come home at 6:00 because is normally time for dinner for some people at five o’clock. Parents can get worried because if their sons or daughters don't have their homework done at 4:00 which means that complaints will come in for no much homework in the time space needed in school time and at home and around their environment.Parents normally give chores to some of their children so that parents don’t get tired when they have to DO EVERYTHING themselves and it doesn't help when their son or daughter's are not home to help them and then they get even more mad!

This is why having school to end at five is a bad idea if you ask everyone else and they will tell it’s a bad idea because for one it is not safe when out and about. For two and three it reduces time for sport and other subjects and parents are going to get worried and tired of there kids not getting enough for things round the house.so think about it so DO WHAT IS RIGHT!

Technology: Electronics

On Friday 5 September we went to our Electronics class for Technology. We were all practicing on the soldering iron making a little wire connecter.I really liked using the soldering iron to solder the wires on the copper tape, but it was a little scary for a minute or so.

PE: Social Dance

This term we have been doing social dancing. We have already learnt seven dances. They are called the Gay Gordons, Coconut Cream, Red Hot, Sha la la la la, the Maxina, Sea Cruise and Bus Stop. We have had at least 4 or 5 sessions so far. I like doing the line dances.
