New Senior Hub Building!

On Thursday September 7th at school we moved to the new block after lunch, we had our tote trays because the old senior block will get demolished. It use to be the old junior block, but they moved to the hall, then the new building. So the old junior block got turned into a cool new senior hub. There are 4 big rooms: YELLOW, BLUE, PURPLE and GREEN (LIBRARY). The new senior hub is a collaborative space because all three senior classes: Tawa - 4-5, Rata 4-5 and Rimu 5-6. Are all moving into there and the walls are smashed down.  It is one whole area now.

I like the ovens because we can do baking and stuff. I'm worried people will bring their scooters and bikes on the deck. I will try to listen to the teacher.

Why Fidget Spinners Should Not Be Allowed In School

Fidget Spinner Simulator

I am oppose to fidget spinners brought to school

Today this is a persuasive argument about fidget spinners! It is about why fidget spinners should not be allowed in school, this is my writing:
Fidget Spinners should not be allowed at school because they could be too noisy. They can get broken or lost too. They can take the focus out of you or others. They can get stolen too because people will ask you to borrow your fidget spinner. Fidget spinners only need to be at home so they can be placed somewhere safe.

Monster

Hey bloggers this is my blog post I have been learning to make a monster using questions like what is your favourite color or shape, or how old you are. My monster has three eyes, six pieces of hair.It also has eight teeth. Two arms, a diamond head and two legs. I think this is really fun and I think you should try it. Most of the colours have the gradient colour in it like the head, mouth, arms and legs. Here is my monster.


The monster looks cool:)
