The Science Fair!




On wednesday the 29 of July Aashna, Isaac, Priya and I went to John Paul for the science fair.There were a lot of amazing entries that we enjoyed.




When we got there we got to go around and explore,read all of the entries. It was split into groups: the Primary entries, Year nine, Year 10, Year 11 and up. When you walked you got a voting sheet to vote for your favourite. I saw quite a lot that I liked but I chose the one called concentration. The topic was does the background affect your concentration about a game. After that we all had to sit down because it was time for the science fair to start. First we did the prayer and then the prizes. Our school didn’t win anything. But we still were happy with what we did. Then the principle said thank you to everyone who participated and came. Then it was time to leave.


Here are some photos, with our boards!

🌊My poem about the AMAZING Beach!🌊

🌅
🌊Beach Poem🌊
🐟



Come to the Beach
Where blue- eyed waves meet you
Watch out for the dangerous creatures lurking under you.

Watch the waves come in
Then away it goes, back to sea where it likes to be the most.
Here it comes back to the sandy land 
Where you like to put your feet in the sand.

Sandcastles lay from earlier in the day
People baking  in the hot sun.  
Watching smiles from meters away.

Thats my kind of day!

My Persuasive Writing about Why the West Coast should not re open.



WHY THE WEST COAST SHOULD NOT RE OPEN!





Today I am going to persuade you why I think the West Coast should not re open. I am going to mention why I think that the West Coast should not re open.Also some rules the businesses have to abide by. As well as bubbles.




Firstly I am going to start with why I think the West Coast should no re open.

In my opinion I think it shouldn't be open because some people would think that it is “ok” to visit a lot of people. I have seen many people do that even in level 4. I don’t think everything should open again. Because if everything opens there would be a higher chance of people getting Covid-19. How you may ask? Some jobs require a lot of people working together in one space. I also was reading that if they open schools they would have to to spread the kids out.It was saying something about how hard it would be to try to not let the kids at Schools hug and touch each other. Also I think that we shouldn’t let people from other cities over like Christchurch , because that could bring Covid-19 over. In the next paragraph I am going to be talking about what kind of rules some businesses have to abide by.




Secondly… What kind of rules would some businesses have to abide by.

The first rule would be trying social distance. It may be hard for some of the people.But if they want to work that would be the first rule they have to abide by. The government made some exceptions for some jobs that can't have social distance. Because they are important. A lot of businesses have to disinfect things after people touch them because their germs would be on them. The people would also have to wash and sanitise their hands regularly said most websites. The government said that you can’t have people sick in the workplace, even if they only have a blocked nose.Because they don’t want other people getting sick. In the next paragraph I am talking about people's bubbles.




Now I am talking about bubbles...

At the start of the whole lockdown the main point was to social distance and not be around people that you don’t live with. Like how people would go see their friends after school or work. A lot of people were taking this seriously but sadly some thought it was a complete joke. I love all my family and friends to bits and I would not want for them nor anyone I know to get the virus. With the bubble you have, you have to trust the people. You have to make sure you pick the right people and make sure they don’t blow your trust in them and pop the bubble. People seem to forget that if they extend their bubble to the max then they are risking their lives and the people that are in their bubble lives. Some would be around their people, then their people would be around their people and It would go on .




I hope you enjoyed my persuasive writing. I covered Bubbles, Workplace restrictions and Why I think the West Coast should not re open.

Now just relax and try to make the most of the lazy days.
