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.

Cybersmart Step 1
For Cybersmart this week we were learning about how we could make a quality blog comment. We got different examples from different people and me and Hayley had to fix them up to make them a higher quality blog comment.

I have something to say...
This weeks reading was really interesting. My favorite part was researching stuff about fair trade and researching the good and bad things about junk foods.
This letter is to the best parents in the world.

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.
