On 1893 on her third try was her third petition. Kate Sheppard convinced a total of 32,000 people. This final petition was very successful which means that women were finally allowed to vote. Without any of these happening NZ women would have never voted at the beginning. Now New Zealand is the first place that women were first to vote.

In conclusion Kate sheppard has made history for women in New Zealand.

Without the hard work Kate Sheppard did during the petition women would

never have been treated equally. Now women are finally allowed to vote

and do stuff men do. “We are tired of having a ‘sphere’ doled out to us, and

of being told that anything outside that sphere is ‘unwomanly’.”

Why do we need school?

 

Why do we need school?

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why students have to go to school everyday? Firstly, school is the place of education and socialisation, there are many countries that have laws that is compulsory for students to attend school.Well, think for a moment while these thoughts run through your head on why school is important to attend to everyday. 

Body paragraph 1:

School is a place for students to learn. Learning is the key to unlock the minds of each student so that they can push themselves to do better in their school academics. Without learning the mind can’t do stuff like thinking and working, but with subjects in school it will improve each one of us in different ways of learning which will help us later in life. Learning at school you’ll be able to do many things that link to school academics.

Body paragraph 2:

School helps you to get a great job. Not only does school help you in learning but it also helps you to get the qualification of a job that you seem interested in. For example if you dream about being a doctor later in life you could take the subjects that require to be a doctor like science. Subjects don’t only require to get into jobs but also life choices like learning to be on time, respect the people around you and listening to the person in charge.

Body paragraph 3:

School gives us a chance to socialise with other people. The real reasons why students love coming to school because all their mates are there. Even if your new to the school there are always people that love socialising with you. In school they also practice team building skills so that you can work together as a team. Not only do you work together but you could become friends with your team. 

Conclusion:

In conclusion school is really important to have in our society because school could change any life of a student, without it there wouldn’t be any sense in life. School is important because we learn, get a job and socialise.

Recount: Spaghetti Tower Teamwork Challenge!

Recount WritingSpaghetti Tower Teamwork Challenge

Today Team 5 got back into our Literacy Classes, I'm back in Mrs Stone's Class (So Excited) First in my Literacy class we reflected back on our Norms List and how we get our points (Good) and how we get strikes (Bad). After reflecting on the Mrs Stone gave us a Teamwork Building Challenge which was: with our reading groups we have to make the tallest spaghetti tower using string and tape, once you have done your tower you must be able to balance 1 marshmallow onto it. My reading group is Dahl and in my group is Nina, Aaliyah, Marie, Kauri and Rae Jae. Here is how we made our Spaghetti Tower...

First we divided the spaghetti into small groups so that we can bundle them and tape it together to make the base. Secondly we made more of the bundles of Spaghetti so we can add to it and make it taller. Unfortunately it didn't stand long but we managed to put the marshmallow. The other group won the challenge but other that that I had heaps of fun doing the challenge with my group.

Doing this challenge wasn't all about or winning but it helps us to build our teamwork more and communicating and collaborating all together. I think in our group we really nailed the communicating part.
