My two weeks holiday.

Two weeks break! 

For the past two weeks it had been the school holidays, a break from school, a bit of fresh air. 

Term 3 had just ended and so my 2 weeks holiday begun. I had planned to sleep through it all, similar to a bear in hibernation.That was what I had planned.What I intended to do. But most plans don’t go according to plan.

Sleep? ,Whats that? , never heard of it , well atleast I did ,but that was long before. PM to AM and AM to PM.Hearing the birds chirp was a sense of accomplishment .Slightly similar to the habits of those who binge watch. Long story short I stayed up and became sleep deprived. The End.

Or is it? …

How to be Normal?

In literacy class earlier every group got an Olympic athlete, my group was given Emma Twigg, we were 

given articles/ videos to watch/read then do an activity based on her.

Should we have a longer school day?

  Should we have a longer school day?

---

                                

                     We all should know how exhausting school is right?..

But, what if school were longer? What if it had gone for longer than six hours? Today I’ll be discussing about why I disagree with school being longer, School is exhausting, parents can be worried, we all deserve a break!

School, a very exhausting place to learn, although it does teach us many new information we all need a break don’t we? School should at least give us hours off from school, I mean in primary we go to school for six years, that’s a lot. Next after that we have intermediate, add two more years which makes nine years, don’t forget college! school is very tiring for children/teens and people at university. I think that more than nine years learning should be lots. 

Staying away from school more than six hours? 

Many parents may be a little strict about how long their children can go somewhere without them, after three/two thirty it gets a little dark around four so that may worry parents, parents can be worried every easily which wouldn’t be very helpful for the school, and if the child gets way too exhausted it could worry their parents.

Relaxing after school, 

After a day of work kids are tired right? Don’t you just wanna flop onto your bed? Sleep or have a relaxing time at home doing what you want? School is very exhausting and stressful which can lead children to feeling anxious at some points, after school I usually feel a relieved. Getting a longer break after school helps children take their mind off of school for the past few hours until bed time, we all try our best at school for six hours on monday til friday, we all deserve to spend the rest of our hours at home relaxing. 

My point is, having a longer day at school can lead to other things and I disagree with the statement that we should have a longer school day.

Today my reading group did persuasive writing, it was sort of like a little test for our literacy teacher to see what we need help us with, we were given statements to choose from and I chose "Should we have a longer day at school?"

its a story between a light skinned coloured boy ((Lets say light skinned)) and a dark skinned boy ((Dark skinned to be more polite about it)) and this boy think's he's prejudice because of an conflict that happened earlier with him and an light skinned boy.

Roman colosseum

                                                       Roman colosseum

                           Heard of the colosseum?, haven’t? Well then..

The roman colosseum, located in Rome ((Capital of italy)) built in either 70 AD or 72 AD, built by a man named emperor vespasian. Sadly he died before it was built since it took around eight years to build but was opened by his son emperor titus. a construction used in the olden days for the entertainment of people.  The purpose of this  building was for entertainment, In this building battles between mankind and animals like tigers, lions, bears and brutal fights were held. This is a little  like a circus ((made for entertainment)) but more combat, fights and no funny business.

Its walls are built of stone , brick & Concrete!, I’ve heard its endured for two thousand years which Is a very long time, 50,000 seats for a big audience since it was popular back in rome centuries ago. Sturdy brick wall, 260 feet or 189 metres long, 512 feet or 156 metres wide. 158 feet or 50 metres tall. 

Would I like to vist myself? 

I would absolutely love to see or visit this colosseum in the future one day, that is if it’s still there. 

All the history filling that place would been great to experience. Just imagining all the events happening centuries ago and standing there now where others stood. But I wouldn’t like to see the horrors of the events happening with my own two eyes, It would truly be very terrifying.

“Does this seem familiar to you?”

Title	How to be a great professional sports player?
Introduction	Introduction, the topic for today is sports,  I will be talking about how to be a professional sports player, basically I will be talking about how a professional sports player became one, not the training exactly. In order to become a professional sports player you must also adjust your daily routine.
Information 1st Reason S E E	Nutrition, In order to be a professional sports player you must require energy, energy comes from many things but one is nutrition.  Imagine you are a profession sports player, you play your best but you are feeling exhausted quickly. Your energy drains quickly and you can no longer play your best, Nutrition is important to a sports player, especially if you want to be a professional sports player.
Information 2nd Reason S E E	Training,  Training can help you discover new skills you never knew you had, practising can also help you develop new skills/movement.  ‘Practice makes perfect’ if you want to get better at something it’s important to practice otherwise you won’t succeed. Not everybody succeeds on their first attempt so of course it’s okay if you don’t get it at first.
Information 3rd Reason S E E	Sleep routine,  Around the world there are early birds, owls,these refer to early wakers or late night sleepers. As a sports player you must orginaze your sleep schedule/Sleep routine. From lack of sleep you’ll develop eye bags or either feel grumpy which is not an attitude you need or should bring onto a sports field, you may also turn out to be sleep deprived and trust me on this, being sleep deprived can be a real pain.
Conclusion	You must work hard to achieve your goal
