Do We Need To Go To School?

 Walt: Follow the structure of an explanation

Task Description

Hi, my name is Caleb, and welcome back to my blog. In this task, I answer the hard, HARD question of Do We Need To Go To School?

Why Do We Need School?

 Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why school is necessary? In NZ, it is compulsory that kids go to school between the age of 5-16. We need to attend school so we can Learn, get a Job, and Socialize with others.

Body Paragraph 1:

Learning is important so we can grow in our knowledge of the world. At school, we don’t just learn about Reading, Writing and Maths, but also Swimming, P.E., Te Reo Maori, and much more. If we don’t learn, then everything we encounter will be a challenge. For example, if your stuck in a big wave, and you have learnt about this, then you will be able to overcome it. However, if you haven’t learnt what to do, something bad will happen.

Body Paragraph 2:

School is VERY important if you want to get a job in the future. When you go to School, you learn about a variety of subjects, which all can lead to getting a job. An example of this is learning how to cook to become a Chef. School also teaches you everyday life skills like using manners and being on time, which increases your chances of getting your chosen job.

Body Paragraph 3:

At School, our teacher teach us how to socialize with other people. Most of the time at School, you have to do activities with others, which means that you learn how to Co-op anyone you meet. You also are going to have lots of friends, which support you throughout your School and outside School life. 

Conclusion:

School is the core of our society. Without it, we cannot live properly. We go to School to Learn, get a Job, and Socialize with others.

Valadir And The Cave of Krohhr

Once, there was a prince named Valadir. He was a charming, good-looking boy, with lots of courage in battle. He had protected the city countless times, and hoped that no great evil would strike while he was there. Oh how wrong he was.

It was a typical Tuesday morning. He got up, had breakfast, and was just about to talk to the king, when he heard a scream. A humongous, fire-breathing dragon, was rampaging through the city, creating havoc.

Soon after, the soldiers and warriors made the dragon retreat. But not before it had caused chaos in the city. People ran, screamed, cried, as they saw what damage had been done. Meanwhile, Valadir was preparing to defeat the dragon. The whole city knew, of the terrifying dragon Krohhr, and how it lived in an enchanted Cave, so without telling anyone, Valadir travelled to the Cave.

After two, exhausting days, he finally made it to the castle, where he found the dragon lurking. He fought the dragon, and they had the greatest battle in history. At last, when the dragon seemed to be winning, Valadir called to the gods, called to the universe, called to the greatest of greats, and before the dragon could do a final blow, he stabbed the dragon, using so much power, that he plunged the dragon the the ground, into the eternal abyss.

Suvival

He lay in the grass, watching, waiting. He aimed, and as he looked at it, he felt sorry for it. But that didn’t last long, as next second, it was lying on the ground, still as a tree.

This is what he had to deal with for 556 days, eating and killing, until he was found, sleeping in a tree, hiding from the wild.

This is a story I had to do for writing. It is about a small part of the day of 211. I hope you find it interesting, even if it is short.

Journey Around G.I

We started out by going to the pools. AT the pools, we went in the Spa, and had a good swim. Next, we went down to Dunkirk and played on the field. Then we went to the Library and I read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Then, we bounce around for an hour at Gravity. Finally, we went to Sylvia Park and saw heaps of cool stuff. Finally, we went home.

The Three Little Barbecue Sausages

Once there lived Three Little Pigs, one day, while they were out shopping, the Big Bad Wolf came out of nowhere, and took the Three Little Pigs to his cave. When they were in his cave, the Wolf cooked the pigs on the barbecue, and made Three Little Sausages.

The sausages were hot, so he decided to blow them out. He got the first sausage, and said “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, and then the the sausage was a good temperature, so he ate the first one. The Wolf got the second sausage, shouted “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, and then ate the deliciously nice and warm second sausage.

Then the Wolf turn to last sausage, said “and a huff, and a puff, and i’ll blow this heat out”, but the sausage was still hot. He blew it again and again, but it was still hot. It was so hot that it melted the Wolf, and so no one lived happily ever after.

Good Learner Traits

Are you a Good Learner? Do you have good traits? This essay will explain how to have both at the same time. Here are my three Good Learner Traits, Which are Collaboration, Responsibility, and Self-Discipline.

A Good Learner Collaborates with others. Collaborating is when a group of people work together to solve problems. When people Collaborate, they make it easier for everyone in the group and they might learn another type of learning. Collaboration is an essential part of life. If people Collaborate, they will find it easier to learn things and work together when they grow older.

A Good Learner also has to have good Responsibility. Responsibility means that people are counting on you to do something. Responsibility also means taking action for what you do. If people are responsible, then people will trust you with more important things. Responsibility can lead into people’s later.

The last trait is to be Self-Disciplined. Self-Disciplined is not having people telling you off or telling you what not to do, and just doing what people tell you to do. If your Self-Disciplined, then people will know you understand more, and won’t keep on talking about the same thing. Self-Discipline can help people find jobs when their older.

Here are three Good Learner Traits. These will help people in and out of school strive in life. These will help you throughout the rest of your life.
