Reading Are video games good or bad for me?
Writing Do you think video games are good for school?
Playing video games is fun. But do you think it's a good idea to play video games at school?
I believe that videogames are good for schoolonly if it is for learning purposes. Apps like Matific or prodigy are good learning games for school. T games like Fortnight or Call of Duty are definitely not for school. Here are some reasons why video games are good for school.
Firstly, in a way games can help students learn stuff without them even knowing it! Some games put random knowledge and give you points to get you interested in learning. You build your way up to harder questions and learn stuff on the way.It may sound bad because students could get distracted, but we actually learn a bunch of new things to prepare us for life. It can help children learn easier because of the way the game is played.
Lastly, students can get better with social connections and they can connect with more people in the class when they play together. We can meet new friends at school in video games and be more confident with eachother. We can be more interested in learning because of the video games we play at school.
In conclusion I think that video games are very suitable for school as long as it is related to learning.

My cheery music
Music or Sports?
If someone were to ask me, “Do you think sports is better than music?” I would say no because I believe that music is better than sports. I have many reasons why I think music is better than sports. So sit back and relax.
Firstly, listening to music can be calming and it can reduce stress if you listen to a specific tune. You could find out that you are good with an instrument. For example a guitar, piano, or maybe even drums. Once you keep practicing you could probably teach another person to play an instrument as well!. When playing music it could increase your focus on other things! Like for example, it could help with focusing on work or maybe even on a really hard test. Here are my reasons why I like music better than sports.
Now I will explain why sports are not better than music. Firstly, while listening to music it could relax you while playing a sport could stress you out. Sports could only stress you out in games. Your coach and parents would be watching and you know you want to make them proud. The coach could put a little pressure. Secondly, you could get injured playing sports because some people tend to get a little rough or maybe even get angry if something bad happens. Thirdly, not everybody could play sports. Some disadvantaged kids, elderly and injured people can’t play sports. Kids should be forced to play sports. They should only do it if they want to.
These many reason explain the pros about music and the cons about sport. I hope my writing has persuaded you to think more about music and sport.

Dear Mr and Mrs Abrod,
I am writing to you today because I want to be able to sleep in my own room comfortably. I will explain many reasons why I am responsible enough and what are the pros of having a better room.
If I were to sleep in my own room, Lara and I would fight less. For example, if I wanted to make something that would involve me making a HUGE mess I would do it in my own room. But if I were to stay in her room then we would fight even more and it would probably cause her to EXPLODE with anger.
Now let's talk about how you can help make a change. I have a room, but if you would sleep in that room for a week you would notice the bed is uncomfortable and that the lighting is quite bad. Even more during the week, you will soon realize that Iven would ALWAYS keep his toys everywhere and he would be too lazy to clean it up himself.
The solution to this is if I could get a better bed. I am okay with an air bed because the bed is just a couch and when you sleep on it for a long time it gets uncomfortable. For the lighting maybe I could use a small lamp, or flashlight, or maybe even a new light bulb. The last solution is that I could clean up the room whenever I'm told to. It is always messy in there.
Now I will explain what I would do to earn it. Firstly you could just give me the stuff and I could fix my room myself! Secondly, I will always keep the room clean even if it is Iven's toys that I need to clean up.
Thank you for reading my letter. If you do these things you would be making a little girl's dream come true.

The one paragraph story of... BRETT POISEN
(The character was inspired)
This week we had to pick an animal and a job to make a mutant superhero. I chose scorpion and a ninja but a ninja could be a spy and a spy could be a ninja so I changed ninja to spy.
He is a Teenage boy who fights crime anonymously. Who is a black belt in martial arts, has Beautiful hair and has the powers of a scorpion. His name is… Brett Poison. Brett has a huge secret room with organised gadgets and secret weapons. He wears black shades that can identify criminals in disguise. The glasses can disguise Brett to look like someone else to fit into crowds or to sneak into places or buildings he needs to go in. When he shapes his hands into a specific shape he can poison anyone he needs to and can either make the target fall asleep or never wake up. So before you go robbing shops or doing bad things like a criminal would do then beware of the master spy… Brett Poison.
My favorite part was research the different aspects of a scorpion and trying to make a character fit the animal. The week my b=hub also only had to do at least one paragraph because we just started writing on thursday and it was quite a long story to explain that. Anyways I hope you enjoy reading my blog and my writing for T2 W8 2021
A book cover for Peppa Pig and Rebecca rabbit solves the Mystery.
For Cybersmart with Cam we had a choice of two. It was to either use images to create a story book cover or to use pictures to alter something to make it look something else. I chose to do the first one.

A delicious dish from the country of the Philippines... Leche Flan!
This is a Delicious Filipino recipe called Leche Flan and I recommend you should try it. It is kinda based with lots of sugar and frozen at the end but trust me, this dish is worth your time. The feeling of tasting Leche Flan was like floating on a cloud on top of the city of Atlantis (This is not possible, I only said this because it tastes that good) But I think you would like it.

SPACE writing
I get a strange feeling in my stomach as I walk into the rocket knowing I can’t escape once I go in. My friend and I were the only ones in the rocket, and she was the only one who knew how to control it. Meaning if she wasn’t there then I would be stuck in SPACE! I slowly walked into the rocket while I felt my whole body shiver in fear. I feel a hand on my shoulder. It was my friend. “You're gonna be fine!” says my friend as I walk into the rocket. I quietly sit down in the seat that kinda felt comfortable. Watching the countdown I grip my hand onto the bottom of the chair shut my eyes close.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF!
“Open your eyes! Look at the wonders of space!” Curiously I slowly took a peek and saw… EVERYTHING! We saw stars, the moon and also earth.
After hours and hours in space we were able to travel to the moon. Of couse because of the chicken I am I didn’t even think about stepping out of the rocket. You’re probably wondering “Why did I even go on the rocket?”
Well… it all started when I was invited to this HUGE party and truth or dare was trending and it was pretty obvious what happens next. Once we land my friend steps out of the ship excited to finally step onto the moon. I shake in fear as she reaches over and trys to grab my arm “NOT YET!” “I will uh come later!” I said hesitantly. In my head I knew she probably thinks I am a coward. I lean back thinking if I should go or stay but suddenly I heard a click. The door suht and I felt the rocket blasting off into space. “Oh no, what have I don’t!?” My heart starts pounding and and my stomach starts to hurt then the walls are closing in. And that's all I remember after that I think I blacked out. All I saw was black I didn’t know if I was still alive or if I died in space. That was the time I got stuck in space
What would you do if you were stuck in space and unaware of what to do?
