What makes a "Good" Friend?

Backstabbing, arrogant, unreliable. Do you want to be these kind of friends?Obviously not, you want to be the best friend to your friends. If you keep reading you will know some tips to help you be that best friend.

First of all, if you want to be a good friend you have to be very honest with them, as long as you don’t hurt others and their feelings by you being brutally honest. If your friend does something that you don’t like you can’t just stay quiet and bare with it, you can be honest and speak up and tell your friend that you don't like what their doing, that can show your friends that your honest with them in a good way.

Second, good friends are the people that accepts you for who you are, not those friends that wants to be with you because your popular or you have more stuff, those friends that don't judge you because of what you love to do and what you like are true friends.

Finally, my last opinion for being a good friend, is being there for them when their struggling to go through things. I know that a lot of people have friends that struggle through school especially life, those people that have friends they still feel left out, you can be their best friend by being by their side and showing them that your there for them through hard times.

These are my three opinions or tips that will help you keep your friendship precious with your friend, If you use these the chain between you and your friend will never break. What's another thing you think will make you a good friend? 

Kids shouldn't get paid for Good Grades?

WALT: Use our created template and checklist to write a persuasive piece of writing.

Do you think that its good for kids to get paid for good grades? I don't think kids should get paid for good grades that's what I think, keep reading for more information about why kids SHOULDN'T get paid for good grades.

The first thing is its because I don't think kids need the motivation of money to do better at school. They should learn how to love the ability of learning and also not to be too greedy for money. Kids should do well at school even without getting paid. Kids getting money for good grades isn't right because if they get to pay for getting good grades then does that mean they will have bad grades if they don't get paid? Exactly it will make it even worse for the students to study because of money.

Instead of giving kids money to reward them for good grades you can reward them with something else instead of money like giving them a hug or a high-five and telling them "Well done!"  It will motivate them to keep going instead of pulling out your Wallet/Purse. 

I think that kids will still do good at school without getting paid, in a matter of fact, they shouldn't worry about money since their still young, they can learn how to earn money and how to spend them properly when they're ready.

These are one of the causes of why kids shouldn't get paid for good grades. Now, what do you think about this?

Another Great-ish holiday of Mine!!

WALT: Write  about our Holidays. 

My holiday well was very good-ish and fun-ish. Keep reading to know about what I mean.

It was the first day of my holiday and my mum wakes me and my brother up, guess what she woke us up for... to do chores. That was the exact moment when I realize that my holiday was going to be another boring holiday. Each of us had chores to do and my favorite part about cleaning is that I get to play songs while cleaning.

After we did our chores, my brother helped my mum cook breakfast while I play more music in our living and look after my little brother and sister. Believe me, my little brother and sister like dancing, so I always play Baby Shark (R&B Version). 

So yeah, it was like that for the whole two weeks. The only thing we did was celebrating my older brothers birthday on Sunday, me, my family, my aunty, and uncle and her friend went out and..yeah. Then the next day it was back to school time. I was so happy to see my friends again. 

To be honest I like it at school more than staying at home but I like spending time with my family more. I hope you had a great holiday. What was the best holiday that you have ever had? Mine was when we went to visit my Great aunty from Samoa because I get to eat Samoan food that she bought.

Task Description: Writing about our Holiday's.

Should Children Drink Energy Drinks?

What kind of drinks do you like? What about Energy drinks? My thoughts about children drinking energy drinks are that It can help us be active and energetic but drinking too much will cause us to get crazy. Keep reading to find out the professionals and the experts opinion.
They said that people with heart problems shall never drink energy drinks even kids with heart situations because it can cause concern for their safety. Some Energy drinks can contain up 69.2 g of sugars which is bad for kids to drink too much.

The American Academy of Pediatrics's prefers children consume no caffeine at all. Energy drinks can increase blood pressure in some people. Even though they claim that Energy Drinks can improve your endurance and performance, many health experts disagree.
More than 5,000 cases of people who got sick from energy drinks were reported to U.S. poison control centres between 2010 and 2013, and almost half of those cases were in children did not realise what they were drinking. Kids can also get diabetes if they drink too much because it contains caffeine and too much sugar.

I think that children shouldn't drink energy drinks. I'm saying this for the sake of their safety and their health (and mine).

Why do we have fitness?

Have you ever wondered why we have fitness or why we have to stay fit? If you are one of these people who asked themselves this question. Well keep reading and you will hear my opinion for why we have fitness.

Sometimes I also ask myself, "What's the point of being fit?" then I realise that it's easy to get fat but its hard to lose weight.  So I did some research on why we need to be fit and I found some really important things for why we need fitness. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life.

Being fit can help us be energetic and active at all times. Did you know that New Zealand is ranked as the 14th laziest country? Well, because we don't go to the gym or exercise. Exercising can improve your health.  Be fit and healthy will keep you from being sick.

Another reason why we kids do fitness at school is that its good for our brain development. It can also help us improve our academic performance. It can help us build strong bones and muscles since its important for us to be healthy.

Now, do you get why we have fitness and why we NEED fitness? To tell you the truth I hate exercising also fitness at school but I learned some important things. That's why I'm glad we have fitness at school.
