Task Description - This week we had to read a book and get answers through it. We have read a book named. " Switching Of The lights." And had to answer some absorbing questions. Go through the slides and see what we had to do this week. 

Should Kids Get Paid For Good Grades?

Should we, or would you! Let your child get paid for good grades? Well, from my perspective, I definitely don't think that is right. Getting good grades shouldn't give the fact for money. Because if money wasn't a reward for getting good grades then do you think they would work hard for the money? 

Firstly you are just motivating them with money just to get good grades and that is just wrong. Technically student have no idea what money bring into there lives. They should teach them the basics of saving and speeding money. It would be a waste of time giving out money to kids that don't know how to look after such a precious amount of money.

Teaching kids is the most important thing students need, and that would help them out in the future, and probably get a better pay. Instead of money as a reward, you should take them out, or give them a basic. "Well Done!" Wasn't that hard was it?

Students will start to get greedy with money and not face the real world of money. Do you think your kids are ready to get paid? Do you think that is responsible? Well, let's just say it isn't!  

"Help!" What Is Going To Happen!?

WALT: Read fluently and accurately recognizing and understanding punctuation. I focus on meaning and phrasing.

Should Kids Be Using Social Media?

Should Kids Be Using Social Media? 

Students, Kids, Learners, shouldn't be using or have social media. It can cause many dangerous and unhealthy things, people can be aggressive online and hurt other people, including children. It can be very unsafe to have social media including the age of 13 and under. 

Technically, kids may not be ready to use social media. According to children's privacy its illegal for students under 13 to have an account open up to the world. Kids follow people they don't know or have ever met. Dangerous people can follow peoples tracks and make very bad decisions to very young people.

Posting things on public can be viewed at any time, even though you use the "delete button" they will still be tracked, and it will permanently stay on the internet. It is important for parents to know what the most appropriate age to have an account on social media: YouTube - 18 and older. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Tik-Tok, Twitter, and Snap-chat - 13 but with parents approval. 

It can be hard, including for parents to know or find out what your child is doing on the internet. They could be doing things very inappropriate, or post things under aged. Kids sometimes only want an account is for the followers, or how many friends you have on Facebook.

I definitely agree that children shouldn't be using social media including at the age of 13 and under. I agree that if they do have social media they should be very careful and make sure that you suspect very suspicious things. If you find things very wrong then admittedly tell your parents as fast as possible. 

"Living On A Shoestring"

Task Description - This weeks book we are reading is named "Living On A Shoestring" I like the book and its big message behind it. I made a poster to try and persuade and entertain people to help out and give it a try. 

DMICS Maths

This weeks DMIC'S, we had to focus and get the same number using Perimeter, and Area, my helper Hillary helped me with our math's question and went well with it. First we started of with big numbers (18 half it = 9) since it was way over and wasn't even, we broke it down to smaller amounts of numbers like, (8 half it = 4) since it was still to big and uneven we tried out something else. Hilary thought of putting in the number 6 and half it which would equal 3. 6 x 3 = 18, and 6 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 18. They where a MATCH!
