Live Work and Play Safley

Live, Work and Play Safely” by Heather Hammonds

Think about an activity that you do, or a sporting activity you belong to and make a list of the rules that members need to follow.  For each rule, briefly explain why this rule has been put in place.

The Rule is …..	Why this rule has been put in place…..
High Tackle	This rule has been put in place so people playing rugby dont break their neck
Forward pass	Forward pass is not allowed because it gives advantage to the other team
Must have a mouth guard	You must have a mouth guard so your mouth is protected at all times
No kicking or punching	This rule is put in place because this could start a fight or conflicI

ANZAC Recount

Highway  To  Hell

It’s 2am on the 25th of April. Many soldiers went to war.  I was shaking uncontrollably .  I was crammed in the landing boat like a tin of sardines. The soldier next to me was desperate to kill someone. I was thinking are you crazy but I didn’t want to say anything.

I smelt gunpowder. I saw a misty cloud of gunpowder rising in front of me.  Oh no I thought. Everybody dived out of the boat onto the beach to avoid the rain of bullets pounding down on us.  Some soldiers died straight away.

What could I do?  I waited in the landing boat with Lucas. Lucas and I heard screams all around us. I got my gun ready. So did Lucas. We heard footsteps getting closer and closer. Our fingers were on the trigger. Lucas fired his gun first. It went right through the Turks head. There was blood pouring out like an endless waterfall.  I turned to Lucas and said “We are on the Highway to Hell!”

My Word Salad

This is my Word Salad that I made about Conflict.

My Speech

Why Pokemon cards should be banned from Elm Park School.

Do you think Pokemon Cards should be banned at Elm Park School?

I think that Pokemon cards should be banned from our school because they seem to cause a lot of conflict between students. Sometimes they can get jealous of other people’s cards and then they go and steal other people’s cards.  They are touching something that is not there's.  One of our School Values is  Respect.  This means that you look after other people and their things. Stealing cards in breaking our School Values.

If Pokemon cards are brought to school they might get stolen which they shouldn't.  If they do  Mr Borcher has to go into their  classes  trying to solve the problem.  He could be in  important meetings instead.

So he is wasting his time.

Playing cards at morning tea and lunchtime is not very good exercise.  I think that they should be running around and playing games instead because this would help them to become fitter and healthier.

These are three important reasons why Pokemon Cards should be banned at Elm Park School. Thank you for listening to my speech.
