Learning plans

In class there is a new thing called a learning plan.   It has all these things that you have to get done by a time of a day.  The purpose of it is so you get everything done before the deadline.  If you don't complete it in time you have to finish it in your own time so it's really good to keep people on task.  If you finish it early you get to do some other fun stuff.  Next time I have a learning plan to complete I want to  finish it early so i get lots of time to do some fun stuff.

(Persuasive writing) Why dogs are better than cats.

I strongly believe that dogs are better than cats because dogs are way more fun, energetic and useful to have than cats are.

Firstly, what's so fun about a cat.  They do hardly anything all day but eat, sleep and go to random places, but dogs are way fun, energetic and they love to play.

Secondly, Imagine hunting with a cat.  They would be hopeless at it, but dogs are great at hunting and they are really useful at other stuff too.

Thirdly, you can teach really awesome tricks to dogs like catching a frisbee, fetching a ball and bringing it back to you and even getting the newspaper for you, but a cat couldn't even fit the newspaper in it's mouth.

Fourthly, I went around class to see what people would prefer out of a cat and a dog.  14 people voted for dogs, 3 people voted for cats and 1 person voted for imbetween.  That means that most people prefer dogs more than cats.

Finally, I asked my friend Robbie his opinion about what's better out of cats and dogs and he said "I think dogs are far better than cats because dogs are more playful, energetic, Friendly and they are not scared of people like some cats are".

So there you go.  Dogs are way better than cats because they are more fun, energetic, playful  and useful than cats and I am 100% sure that I have persuaded you that dogs are far better than cats.

3D Shapes

At school we have been learning about 3D shapes.  Most 3D shapes have atleast 1 vertice , 1 edge, and 1 face.  Vertices are pretty much like corners, faces are the sufaces or faces on the shape, and edges are when to faces meet on the shape.  This shape is a rectangular prism.  It has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.






This next shape is a pyramid.  It has 5 vertices,  5 faces and 8 edges.
