Reading: Should cellphones be banned in schools?

We've been learning how to write a persuasive text. This persuasive text is about our serial story, and how they've banned cellphones in school. We're writing if they should be banned.

Should Cellphones be banned in schools? 
 I believe cellphones should not be banned in schools. This will have facts about how useful cellphones are.

 Cellphones are convenient to have, for example, all cellphones are able to access the internet, They are just as helpful as other devices like laptops, etc you’ll get a wider access of information. they can research and go to websites to further help extend their work. This means that Another thing cellphones can be used for is to call for help in emergencies. They’d be able to call or dial 111 to report any emergencies. (Parents do provide cellphones to their child/ren for emergency usage.)

 If cellphones are permitted,There should be rules and responsibilities about the use of cellphone, (Like when and where cellphones can and cannot be used.) Schools could encourage PCs in classroom while encouraging cellphone usage out of classrooms. Of course students need to learn how to use cellphones responsibly. Student should know they shouldn’t use it to cheat on tests, cyberbully and many more… if necessary, teachers could have students put their cellphones on airplane mode. Making them unable to use the internet. or have them put it in the front of the classroom until it’s over. (But is a risk if an emergency occurs)

 In conclusion I think cellphones should be allowed in school. They’re just really helpful to have. It can be a lifesaver and are able to access a lot of information. as long as the student is responsible, there won’t be any harm done.

What I found difficult: Finding websites that aren't about why cellphones should be banned.
What I need to do next time: Put in the websites i used to research.

This term, we've been doing activities on our serial story. (Now i couldn't do all of them for i was away half of the time.)
 
What i found difficult: Getting enough time.

Maths: Converting Decimals Fractions and percentages.

For the Past three weeks, we have been making a slideshow about how to convert decimals to fractions, percentages to fractions and so on.


what i did well: compacting information into a slide

what I'd do next time: maybe make it more simple

Writing: Subterranean Wasteland

This week We've picked out a key and writing what this key would open.





Subterranean Wasteland




My Friends and I, Frank, were just a group of adventurers  were now biking to a near forest about half a mile away but it wasn’t fun... I was the person who had to pretty much carry everything, I asked why but they told me i had to my part of the work, which annoyed me.



Once we were there we pulled out everything within the bags and started to make our camp,

We were talking about how great it is camping but I forgot what we did then… We  wandered

 around the forest with our flashlights looking for sticks to make our campfire where I then found key, I asked my friends and assumed what it might unlock, so we wandered around the forest more. I gave up after minutes and walked back to finding more stick to make a campfire, i’ve picked up just enough sticks to make the campfire, I lit a piece of paper and threw it slipping through the sticks structure, it keeps burning until it’s catch the sticks on fire and burnt to a black charcoal colour. That’s when my friends came back to tell me about a huge underground wasteland covered by mist that probably stretches more than the eye could see. It sounded interesting and insisted we uncover the things it holds.



I follow my friends to where they found they underground wasteland, but it wasn’t there... They said it was here and looked for it everywhere, I was very disappointed and too good to be true to explore a vast, abandoned place, People would have already found it probably in the daytime.

But that all changed when I saw my friends getting knocked out one by one before i was knocked unconscious. Once I woke up I was somewhere else it wasn’t the forest but like the subterranean wasteland my friends described but it actually was full of objects. Before I saw my friends, there was a key beside me and only me, I picked it up and put in my pocket. I then proceeded to wake up the others by making big amounts of noise near their ears. They all regained conscious were all probably processing what just happened, minutes later Jerry insisted that we explore the place to find out how we can get out.



We split into teams and went different directions, we used tape we found earlier so we couldn’t get lost. While exploring the vast land, my team found a car covered by a thick layer of dust which points out that it hasn’t been touched for years. It was pretty big so my team help  me clean the car to check if anything is inside, it had enough seats to fit everyone I remembered that I had a key in my pockets so I picked it up and tried to use it, It worked! The door opened I came in to find the car had no fuel, i asked if they could find any fuel and in no time they came back with a lot of fuel, one of our friends said he will drive.



We followed the tape back to the spot to find everyone there, everyone there was filled with relief that there was a car, the other team told us that there was a ramp and they’ll have to follow the other colored tape. The other teams didn’t find anything interesting. We were then on the tape trail to go escape this place. We went through the maze of rubble and objects to the ramp. Our friend didn’t hesitate to go on the ramp. Once we were up the ramp we could see our camp and the sun shining down, we knew we were back to safety and celebrated. We left the car because we didn’t want to get arrested of theft and packed our camp in the bags.

(I had to still carry most of the bags though) We found our bikes and biked back to our houses.





 I was in my house where i was thinking that I should really get some rest.



what I enjoyed: writing my own story of a key.

What I should do next time: actually write more about the key
