5+ tips on how to be safe on/in the water

Today I will be helping you guys how to be safe on the water because some people drowned when there sail boating  because they don't know how to be safe or how to swim or they don't have a life jacket.

• First you need to know how to control you sail boat so when you practice to sail you should try it on land first to get the feel for it then you should practice in a pool or some were that is calm like a lake.
• Practice how to flip the sail boad back up so when you are in the water you can get back in
• When you get your sail boat study all the parts so when you are I the water you know what the parts do and what u need to do with them.
• You need to know how to go faster and how to slow down
• make sure you have an adult in you sail or someone who know some what a little bit about a sail boat.
• When you are on the water on in the water be confident because if you are shaking and scared you have a high chance of tipping your sail boat.
• Were a life jacket because they help you float when you are in the water if you tip.
• When you tip don't panic because you will hyperventilate and it will be hard to breath because the life jacket needs to be tight or it will just slip off and then you will have lot of more problems.

Commitment, How i think of it.

For this term of Kete were are focusing on commitment Because it is one of our values.
last term we did respect for the same reason.

The question is... ("what does commitment mean to me")

What does commitment means  to me (in my eyes commitment looks like)

• When you start something you finish it even if it is to hard.
• When someone says there going to do something I want them to live up to what they said and do it right away and not say they will do it later.
•  Try stay focused on your work at all times or I wont finish it because I am talking, but if i am focused I will get it finished.
•  Try commit to my values.
• Commit to my school work.
• Commit to coming to school and not bunking.
• Commit to having a good attached to my teacher.

My holiday

On the very first day of the holidays I got home and changed out of my uniform, The first thing i did was grabbed my phone and messaged my brother. The message said "Hey what are you doing wright now can i stay at your house tonight?" he replayed saying "I am doing nothing just jamming Fortnite i will be on my way soon get your stuff ready" i waited for about 25 minutes and them he arrived, I jumped into his car and of we went. All we did at his house was playing fortnight for hours Thats all i did for the first week. Then i went back home on Monday and then i played more Fortnite until Thursday when black ops 4 was coming out my brother said ill pick you up and we can play he come to my house we then picked the game up and downloaded it to his PS4, the download was 50gb, but luckily we could play a battler royal mode called black out. We played black out the for three days on Saturday we went to the pools and on Sunday i played more fortnite.

Dear Mr Sutton

You have made a good looking uniform for us pupils to wear proudly, we can walk home in our uniform we can do alot

of things with people seeing our cress and not having to worry about them coming up to us saying anything bad about

our school. The colours you have chosen for our uniform is awesome because with  black leather shoes and dark

blue socks and with the dark blue shorts/pant and a light blue T-shirt with the hornby high cress on it looks amazing,

however….

I have a problem to address to you, I find it hard to always have my uniform because I have one pair of shorts for

school, and I have a lot of black pants. I think that black pants should be part of our uniform because on Mondays

some kids stress because they cant find their school shorts when they have black pants sitting there. It would be

nice to be able to wear just any pants that are black because they are cheaper and easy to find.

It's awesome that we have school shoes but if we don't wear the right shoes they get taken off us and if we don't get

them back they give them to the sallies  but we don't get them back because we forget to go back and get them. But

the school shoes we have to wear are like $25/30 when you can get running shoes because they are cheaper and

better shoes for $10. This is a big problem because some kids have to have holes in there shoes for weeks because

their family have to use the money to pay bills and only have money for food so if we could wear any other

 shoes it would be awesome and helpful to others.

I personally think that we should be able do to wear pants and any pair of shoes because it is cost less and you can

wear them anywhere. I understand we have to wear school uniform and I am trying to make it cheaper for some

people that can't always afford the correct uniform. I would like to Reassure you that I would still gladly wear my

uniform in pride

I look forward to your reply.

Dear Mum and Dad

I strongly believe that I am in need of my own room. I should have my own room because I am almost 13 years old and I currently share a room with my 2 year old and my 1 year old nephews I think that I deserve my own room because I help out a lot on saturdays and sundays.

The problem is that I have to share a room with a one year old and a two year old. I am having to wake up either early or over the time I usually because some mornings they cry and cry and cry. I believe that a growing boy like myself needs plenty of sleep in silence.  I am getting to that stage in life when I am changing and also need my own privacy. I know I watch a lot of youtube but I try watch it quietly because I don’t want wake them up. This becomes difficult for me as there is not any enjoyment in watching silent clips.

It would be incredibly awesome if I have more  space and privacy. We can divided the garage like we did in the old house. But in the winter we would need to put a heater in the so its warm. All I want is privacy and space because i’m getting to that age when I need those things. If I  have my own room Kaiza and Eli can have there own room and I can get more rest and this will help Neville because he could move into my room and the babes could go into his room so he has space and have the internet.

I hope you have a think about it because it would be awesome to have a room to myself and I hope we can do it even if it can just have my draws and my bed out there. Then the room want be as scruffey. I can’t wait until you have a look at this.

Plan

• Dear Mum and Dad
• I want to have a room
• Problem The problem is that i have a one year only and a 2 year old i would like to have a room to myself so I have space and room to put things that i want in a room that i would like.
• Solution We have an empty garage we could divide and for next winter we could put a heater in there so its worm
• Conclousen space, privacy, i can get more sleep, so Kaiza and eli have there own room

- Final drawing- maybe with changes
- When you have made you final design you will
make it dark enough so when you flip if on the lino you can see your drawing
you push hard on your drawing so when you take you paper of you can see you art on the lino.
- Then you cut your name and your background (only if you want a background)
