Juanita Pays it Forward

Paying it forward is our homework we need to pay it forward each night this week. We had to pay it forward to a family member. I payed it forward last night by making my mum a cup of tea. It made my mum feel really special because I did it without her asking me too. I felt really proud of myself because she could rely on me to make her feel relaxed.

As you can see this is about my homework. It is about me paying it forward to my mum. She really appreciated the effort I put in. I felt good because she has been relaxing.

Dontalian Pays It Forward

Last night I had to pay it forward. To pay it forward I helped my mum by opening the door and also helped with the shopping. She felt proud because sometimes I never help with the shopping. When I finished helping with the shopping I felt proud of myself because I had done something to help my mum.

Direct Speech by Dontalian

“Hey do you think NZ schools should provide breakfast for their students?” asked June.

"Yeah I do because it will help kids with their learning," replied Dontalian.

"Yeah that was what I was thinking. Also it could keep them motivated and help them have  a healthy mind," stated June.

"I know because a lot of children have been not focusing on their learning"responded Dontalian.

"Yeah but what if schools have no money to provide the breakfast?Don't you think that will cause a problem?"questioned June.

"True," replied Dontalian.

Today I learnt to put speech marks in my writing to show that someone is speaking. I used the conversation I had with June on ifake text to get my sentences.

Learning to use direct speech: San Tat and Oh S'Mar

“Hi Oh S’Mar I think we should have breakfast at school,” stated San Tat

“Why?” questioned Oh S’Mar.

“Because students without having breakfast struggle in their learning!” shouted San Tat.

“Wow don’t people care about students struggle at school, “said Oh S’Mar

“I know right I can't believe that people don't even care,” San Tat yelled.

Me and my partner used a website called Ifaketext.com we used this app the make a conversation about should children have breakfast at school. We were learning to use direct speech and have tried to experiment with different 'said' words.

Learning to Use Direct Speech: Sajiha and Yvette

This is my Ifaketext with sajiha on whether breakfast in schools should be provided. It is in two different versions - direct speech, and on ifaketext. We both agreed that breakfast should be provided. We state multiple reasons why we think this way. 

Spelling Hints

Today Paige and I learnt that when two vowels are written next to each other in a word the rhyme in DLO she has made will help her remember which sound to listen to and say first.
