Why Parent Teacher Meetings School Be Compulsory.

Why Parent Teacher Meetings School Be Compulsory.

I strongly believe that this meeting is necessary. If we don’t have this the parents won't know about events or things that we are learning at school. When we go home every day we do tell our parents about how our day at school was, but we don't include all of the information needed.

These types of meetings help parents understand what is happening at school. It also encourages their children to do better and maybe do work at home. If they know what's happening at school then they know how to help with their children's learning . For example, if their children needs help with their times tables or work which they may not know, but the teachers will tell them and the parents could possibly help their children with that.

This also encourages parents to be more involved with school. Children will make a big difference in their learning if they know their parents are involved. It makes them feel supported in their learning and they will have better attitudes towards it.

In conclusion I do believe that this Parent Teacher Meeting is necessary based on the reasons above and should always be held between terms.

Multiplying Fractions

Walt: multiply fractions.

Problem:

Daniel had 24 rubber bands. He gave ¾ to his friend, Lucky. How many did Lucky get? How many did Daniel have left?

Solution;

¾ of 24 = y

24 divided by 4 x 3

= 6 x 3 =18  Lucky gets 18.  Daniel gets 24-18 = 6.

Multiplication Game

Multiplication Games

In this game it gives you all the times tables and you get to pick which one you would like to practise with. I know my 1,2,3,4,5,9,10,11 and twelve times tables. Yet I am a little rusty on my 6,7,8. Hopefully this game helps me.

This was my score for my times tables on stage 6, I only got one wrong but could still use the extra help.

Measure It

I liked this activity because I was very close but forgot that there is a very high and low chance that I could get this wrong. I liked the netbook one because I got it correct and exact, with the other ones I was close and not far off from the right answers.

Maintenance

Tattooing

Tattoos are known all over the world. It is when a tiny needle is pierced into your skin, maybe several times depending what type of size you are planning on receiving. Here in New Zealand the age is restricted to sixteen, along with any extreme piercings that you may or may not get.

Tattoos are done when multiple needles prick your skin, you do bleed but the tattoo artist wipes it quickly so it cannot be seen. The outer skin cells are slowly dying the more the skin is pierced.

Tattoos are not a very big trend or tradition in the maori culture. Signs to either show your maori is the Moko that you can get. It has multiple swirls and is mainly only seen in black or green, unless you prefer it to be in multiple colors.

In my family I only know of two people that have special tattoos. There is my grandma who has a big moko all around her arm, it was a significance to her turning sixty. As Well as my grandma, there was also my dad who had gotten tattoos on his wrist and hands. This contains the information of his kids which I am the only one on his right hand.

Did you know tattoos do effect your body? Doctors say that when you get a tattoo your blood vessels fight against the ink to try and remove it. It then stays on because the vessels have not succeeded to get the ink removed. It also means you can no longer donate your blood if you have got a tattoo. When the tattoo has been done incorrectly you will find swelling and painfulness days after the tattoo has been done.

Overall Tattoos are good accessories for your body but it is painful and sometimes they can go wrong. Deadly as well plus the hundreds of dollars to pay it off

These conclude of Facebook, Youtube and other popular apps like these. Most people would wake up in the morning and spend 20-30 minutes on their phones just checking the updates on their social media accounts.

TOPIC SENTENCE

DETAILED SENTENCES

CONCLUDING SENTENCE

What do you think healthy creeks need? Currently most creeks here in Auckland are polluted to the max with people using them as public toilets and other unnecessary things. But what can we do to stop this? We all know that the council should be cleaning this up but it is not there fault that people don’t know how to put their rubbish in the bin.

To solve this problem all we could do to help is to walk around picking up unwanted rubbish so that it doesn’t float down to the creeks. It helps alot as well as the last thing to do is clean the stream.It seems gross but look aside from that a look for what's important.

Dragonflies also play a very important part as they help with the unwanted bugs and clean the water. Another reason is that 90% of people are scared of dragonflies,  this makes it easy if people are trying to pee in the creek they will be scared away.It sounds silly but it’s most likely true.

All in all I wouldn’t find it to difficult to just put your rubbish in the bin and waiting to get home for the bathroom. Creeks really do play big parts in the environment as they provide water for us if we have none to respect it at all times.
