Discovering information.

I am posting this because when I read I ask questions.
My next steps are to use motion.
This is important to me because I want to be better at my reading and I think this will help me.

Not so only the lonley.

Do you like knowing everything if you do then read my thinglink.

Do you want to read a book review.

Today in class I read Following the Gold. This book is written by Gordon Campbell it is a fiction book.

This book is mostly about Chinese men who go to the goldfields in New Zealand to earn money and send it back to their families in China so that they don't become a poverty stricken family. It is also about racism from Pakeha this culture was jealous and did not want the Chinese to take the Pakehas jobs and Europeans were jealous that the Chinese could fine gold were they couldn't.

In summary this book was mostly about Chinese men went over to New Zealand to earn money for their family.

My favourite part was when the Chinese thought of going out to other parts of the New Zealand and get more jobs like being a shopkeeper or more.

I wonder what you have been reading.

Today in class we all read Bok Choy. This book is written by Paul Mason. It is a non-fiction book but it is based on fiction events.

This book is mostly about a little boy named Jacob and a gold miner named Ah Sum. The setting is in Otago and it was 1865 on the gold mines on New Gold Mountain. It is a racisim story. The two racist are Mrs Bishop and her son William they are very mean to Ah Sum. Mrs Bishop thinks that Chinese are so desperate for money that they would even sell off their family. A lot of the pakeha made the Chinese live on the hills and the pakeha can live on the flat parts  with flash built houses.

My favorite part was when Jacobs mother said how can I thank you and Ah Sum just smiled and then the mother said “I insisted you come to my house tomorrow.What have you been reading in class?

We believe that we need cameras in our school. Would you like your stuff getting stolen and your kid is not using our hoe, and nothing happening about it? Do you agree or disagree?

We think that we need cameras in our school is because we want our school to be free of theft..  Aren't you just angry when your stuff  is stolen don't you just want to catch the thief.When kids come to school they will know that there are cameras monitoring what is happening in the school. For example someone could go to the hooks, take one of the bags and steal stuff out of there bag. Would you want that happening to your children/child.

Another reason why we think that we should have cameras in our school is because kids will not be breaking our Hoe Tikanga . This is because we have an awesome tikanga and the kids who are breaking these tikanga will be caught on camera this is so easier to find the thief. Added to this we should get cameras because kids will behave better and treat others in kinder ways. And for those who do the right thing they will always be rewarded.

In Summary,  I believe that we need cameras in our school.

Purely for security purposes and to keep everyone safe.

Surely everyone would want a school that is safe and secure.Let's step up and  make our school the best, number one in New Zealand Surely everyone would want a school that is safe and secure

Lets Bring cameras to our school!

Our next steps are: To be independent at using the correct strucutre for persuasive. Have well organised paragraphs with lead sentences and supporting detail. We will also learn about emotive words and phrases and how to use them to support our argument.
