Manners help the world

Manners.....

Having good manners isn't just respecting your elders its respecting everyone.Manners help the world in may ways example,they teach people to respect and treat others how they want to be treated.Children should be taught manners at a young age so they have a good understanding about manners.Having manners can be as simple as saying hello to someone or opening the door for someone.A example of bad manners would be to do the opposite example....Ignoring someone when they talk to you.I think that having good manners can also get you further in life because,you have respect for others and aren't selfish.When someone says hello to you they are trying to be nice and inviting,so saying hello back would be polite and make them happy back.

Trying to see the funny side of things is great because it helps everyone notice that mistakes happen and they aren't going to change who you are.Being honest is something everyone should do because once you lie once no-one believes you and you aren't trusted.

I like people with good manners because they are fun.But people with bad manners are somewhat mean and aren't always the funnest to be around.Kindness also makes everyone feel better.

Some simple ways to start having good manners are...

1.Complimenting people,not just about they way the look or their new shoes.But it could be complimenting them about how nice or bubbly they are

2.Talking ,I think communication is under estimated.Being able to talk to someone is always great.It can also be as simple as good morning or have fun.

3. Understandment , having the ability to understand what others are going through is great.Also not judging them by their choices and thinking through why they have made a decision.

4.Accepting your own mistakes,noticing that you are wrong in a situation is good because it means you are focusing on points someone else has made and not focusing on what you have to say.

5. Positivity,being positive is great because you aren't focusing on the negative which makes everyone happy.

6.Respect ,respect is very important especially if you want to get far in life.

7. Integrity ,because dependable and following through with commitments,Integrity is also being honest.Honesty is also something that can get you a far way in life


Manners can also make you into a better person,so start using them!

Cryptic Crossword

 For literacy we had to do a cryptic crossword

The answers our found inside the question example: A mine in a steep Italian mountain.

Writing

 For our writing sample or topic was:It is wrong to fight.

This is mine

It is wrong to fight…

What is fighting? Fighting is basically when two or more people punch each other or physically attempt to hurt each other. Personally I think that fighting isn't okay because someone can get hurt or majorly injured.Fighting can be okay if you are defending your-self what I would class that as self-defence because you aren't purposely trying to hurt someone you're just attempting to keep your-self safe.




How many people report fighting or being in a fight?

In 2017, about 18 percent of students reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 1 to 3 times, 4 percent reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 4 to 11 times, and 2 percent reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 12 or more times.This may of changed because this study was done in 2017 but I think it is still a lot but has improved because there was quite a few if we were to travel back into 1990.



Why are more males in a physical fight versus females?

Due to many studies there is a nearly double percentage difference in male to female fighting.

In 2017, 30 percent of males reported physical fighting, compared with 17 percent of females being in a physical fight.This may be because males find it harder to control their anger or possibly feel tougher if they fight others.But what if a female had a male body build would it change who fights more? I think this could be true because male think that they are tough and strong which makes them want to prove themselves worthy of it.




Fighting in schools...

Though most schools report at least one violent crime per school year, serious violent crimes at schools occur in far fewer schools. In 2014 about 13 percent of public schools reported one or more serious fighting incidents to the police. Overall, school crime has decreased since the early 1990s.I think that the violence could have decreased because of less gangs aren't so popular these days.There are many ways to try and prevent a fight like using verbal commands or possibly schools could work on anger management and help the student make connections with other students at a younger age.This might be able to help them in a future fight.




Fighting should be okay and kids should be taught at a young age.Fighting shouldnt be encouraged because the people think it is trendy or cool,which will make fighting increase.

Analysis of script

 In our literacy group we have been looking at how authors and directors tell stories about characters.We all noticed how they deliberately used stereo-types for their viewers so can make connects easily.

Blue= Speech  Yellow= Appearance  Red= Actions  Green=Environment

After I had Bluebell / Azania go through my groups script by highlighting.I noticed that we forgot to add detail about our character and noticed we could've added more about the environment.I do think that my group worked well with speech and actions.

Story Start: 

A cramp starts to prickle up my arm and I shake it, trying to get rid of the pain. The noise of students chattering is a noisy blur as I return to my essay. A tall girl with dark brown curls cascading down her back kicked my foot and I wince, rubbing my toe. “Hahaha” the girl sniggered, smirking down at me,

“Look at Katie-pie, the loner” 

I glance at her quickly then train my gase back to the ground. 

Her friend rolls her eyes, “Come on Mia, she’s not worth our time”. With a last seething glance Mia stalks away with her friend in tow and I lose them in the crowd in seconds, though just before the door at the end of the corridor closes, I can just here the yell of “Lovey, lonely loner” 

I bit my lip and tried to ignore the burn in my eyes. I glance back down at papers in my hand and the title in big writing, ‘Hemiptera in the Rainforest’. 

“ They're, hemiptera, 7.6 million per square meter” I gobble midlessley, getting a few weird glances from the last of the students leaving but I'm used to it by now. I glance up when a pair of green and brown spotty shoes stop in front of me. “Himph, here we go” I mutter under my breath and pretend to not notice her standing there. 

“Kate, Kate” Miss Darins says softly but I keep my eyes down and continue scribbling on the paper. “Kate, love are you alright?”

“Mmm yep, fine” I say, not really paying attention. 

She bends down so she is crouched beside me and I get hit by a wave of perfume. “Where are all your friends”

I frown and glance away, watching the last few stranglers as they push through the double doors.  “Don’t have any” 

“Oh darling” The teacher breaths right in my face and I push back against the wall, skewing my face up slightly. “I can find you some”

Oh because teachers were for finding people friends. I clench my hands to force myself not to roll my eyes. 

“My books are all the matters to me” I say, my mind wandering. “Anyway I should keep studying” 

A look of maybe hurt or confusion flashed across her face but she quickly re Reuters to her normal expression. “Right and I have to get to a meeting” She stands up and flattens her already flat skirt. “Bye Kate” She says in a clipped voice then hurriedly walks down the hall, disappearing into one of the class rooms.

Maths-Tangram Builder - Immersion- Geometry

 Today we did Tangrams, these are some that I managed to finish. We learnt that moving the pieces into place required rotation, flip and slide to get them there.Some shaped I have to rotate 90 degrees and others just needed to be flipped around (180 degrees)

Healing garden/Science

 For inquiry I worked with my friend Clara.We decided to do the healing garden.

This was our design we had certain things under the shade because of the amount of sunlight they need to grow and things like the lemon tree don't need any shade.On the side we put the exact amount of water and sunlight needed to grow.

These are some things I knew about healing garden already...

Aloe Vera helps with sunburn, Garlic helps with your cough and Turmeric which helps with high cholesterol (not all of this is suitable for everybody)

I learnt afterwards that..

Snake plant helps with the air/oxygen nature ,Kava helps with stress and anxiety(relaxing plant) and Echinacea is used to help prevent common colds.

Do you know any plants that help with healing?
