A Piece Of Writing - Blogging Contract #6

Here is another blogging contract!!!
For writing we have been working on writing an exposition. For this exposition we were in groups and had to write about our point of view, Should students be allowed to bring cellphone to school? What do you think?

Should students be allowed to bring cellphones to school?

Cellphones are definitely NOT suitable in educational facilities!

Do you want your children to have square eyes and be tired and grumpy on a daily basis?

Cell Phones distract pupils from completing given work and following teachers’ rules and instructions as they are accordingly 

‘extremely addictive’. 

A phone is too small, too hard to operate and too hard to change settings to complete work on apps such as Google Drive.  

It is said that using your phone too often on a daily basis can make children (or even adults) grumpy and tired, easily. 

Studies show that children under the age of 13 are limited to around 2hrs of screen time per day. If they bought their phones to
school then the amount of screen time would be raised to about 6hrs per day. 

Using a phone throughout the day can simulate the brain and make it harder for kids to go to sleep. 

Cell Phones distract children from completing set tasks and following teachers’ rules and instructions as they are said to be
‘very addictive.’ Working on a phone will mean that you can not get Hapara because they are your personal device, not a school
one. Because there is no Hapara, children will stop their work and go on popular social media like Snapchat, Instagram, or Tic
Tok. Or very addictive games.  They would not be listening to what the teacher is saying as they will be busy texting their friends.
This is one reason why students should not be allowed cellphones at school. 

A phone is too small, too hard to operate and too hard to change settings to complete work on apps such as Google Drive,
where as a computer, chromebook or laptop has a much bigger screen. 

When using Google Slides on a cellphone, you cannot add or duplicate slides, so isn’t great for doing long essays/presentations
for school. 

Especially on (smaller) phones, it is harder to type using the phones’ keyboard so when writing long pieces it is easier to spell
words wrong and to complete work fast.  

In conclusion, we believe that students should NOT bring their cellphones to school as they can make the pupils very tired
and grumpy, they distract students from completing given work and listening to teachers rules and instructions and they are
too small, too hard to operate and too hard to change settings on apps such as Google Drive.

Term 2 - 2019 - Refection

These past two terms have been so much fun. I have had a great time with Miss Hines, and I wish her the best next term. 

The Highlights of this term has been, just having a chill, cruising day were we can just joke around, and get some work done. I have also really enjoyed doing the production, working on learning my lines, and becoming my character. One last thing I have really enjoyed would be going to Hanmer Springs camp, that was so much fun!

The things I am most proud of would be, keeping a steady 4th on the basic facts board, (100 in 1.36!) 

My goals for next term would be, beating Matthew on the basic facts board! (He has 1.32!) Getting to know the new teacher, Mr Kumar! 

I can't wait to meet our new teacher, but I don't want Miss Hines to leave!!
