Are school uniforms beneficial?

I think school uniforms are not beneficial because they are just clothes designed to represent the school. For me, they are not necessary and there are no sorts of advantages to them. Uniforms also cost too much and parents don’t really want to waste money on clothes designed just for school. All it really does it help other people tell which school they’re from but that’s not that important. In other schools, you need the uniforms to be complete and it is really expensive. Some schools also have different uniforms for winter and summer. So I think school uniforms are not beneficial and not really that important.

Web Filters At School are to Restrictive

I think that popular sites should be banned because student tent to get off task and go on them. So we if they're blocked that means they have no other choice. Popular sites can also be inappropriate depending on what they are. Popular sites are sometimes age restricted and won't suit other viewers so it's best to block them. So if they see something inappropriate from that site they might copy it.

Soil Erosion in NZ

Summary:
Soil isn’t just dirt – it holds many nutrients and organisms. New Zealand’s soil is vital to the farming industry.

What is soil erosion?
Wind, rain, floods, rivers, glaciers and earthquakes all erode (wear away) the land. Soil erosion occurs when soil moves (for example sliding down a slope) to a different place. This may be only a short distance, or carried many kilometres away by rivers.

Impact of animals:
The settlers brought rabbits, deer, possums, sheep and cattle. The animals ate and trampled plants and trees, exposing the soil to rain and wind.

Impact of humans:
Humans have sped up soil erosion. New Zealand’s native forests once protected the soil, and tree roots kept subsoil stable. But settlers burnt the trees and planted pasture for sheep and cattle. Rain and floods began washing away the topsoil. On some hill country, soil slid down the slopes.

Script

The Beyonder Script.

I am Immortal

I am always lonely but I can create life.

I can create Universes

I am above all

I can freely destroy anything if I want to.
I will kill you if you get in my way.
I'm not a villain nor a hero
I will come to Earth and explore what there is to see. If I don't like it I will destroy it and create a new one. But before I do that I will make all the murderers and politicians suffer by giving them a slow death. Those who are good people I will keep them inside of my planet where they can have fun. But if they make one mistake they will suffer. Once I finished all of these I will destroy it all and create a new one. everyone will be safe and they will always follow me and if they don't they will suffer or I will throw them out and let them gasp for breath in the outer space. I will become their creator that they will know. If they're loyal enough I will give them powers so they are able to create stuff. Whoever impresses me the most will be the Arch commander. But those who fail will become my slave for 100 years. And that is how it's going to continue.

First period my class had Social Studies. We learnt about people in New Zealand before the Europeans came. Second period we had P.E. We played football. Third period we had Music. We did stuff. Period 4 we had Maths. We were learning about Geometry. Last period is English. I was writing an Essay.

Filtering Water

The first thing we used to filter were pebbles. The pebbles made the water slightly clearer. Under it was sand with filter paper so the sand won't go through. The sand helped it but not by much. Then we took the filtered water and took it to the next stage. The next stage we had charcoal and under it a piece of filter paper. The charcoal made it better but it still wasn't that clear. It was still a little bit dark. Then it went to the filer paper. The filter paper had very little effect. It still wasn't really clear unlike a drinking water. We then boiled it. I didn't drink the water because it wasn't really clear but one of my mates did.

I don't like this character because she is bossy and she is mean towards the other staff. She also slapped Mr.Sir just because she didn't really care about the seeds. Instead of her helping digging for what she was really looking for she instead sat and did nothing.

My Holiday

My holiday was very fun because I went to a church/youth camp. We went right after school on Thursday but I didn't go to school on that day so I got to play games and prepare before camp. My dad was one of the camp parents so he came with everyone there. We left the house at 5:00 and arrived there at about 6:35.  When we arrived the whole camp ate dinner and after that we started our program.

The 2nd day was very good and when we woke up went straight to the hall to eat our breakfast. Then after breakfast we started a praise and worship program and right after it we had free time before the next activity. The next activity was playing a game. The was to hit the cups with a pair flip flops and run to the next bit which was going to the flying fox to get our strings to tie up our flags for my team. Then I had to run back with my buddy back to the starting place and solve a problem. My team was the first one to solve the problem and we ran up to the hill and tied our flag. My team won and we received 1000 points. The next activity was capture the flag. On this game my tram won one again and receive another 1000 points.

The 3rd day was the same routine but different activity. The activity was we had to tie a balloon on our right foot and the aim was to step on other team's balloon. My team lost but we came very close. The next game was with a water balloon. The referee had to put a curtain in the middle and we grab a water balloon and try and hit each other. We made it to the finals but my team lost and the team that we lost to was the team who won the previous games.

On the last day the same routine but no games since the camp host gave the awards. My team came 3rd and that was very unexpected. After that we packed up then we went home.
