Should student have to wear school uniform?

Should students have to wear school uniforms? Uniforms have many drawbacks because they are not always affordable, creates more laundry with extra items to clean each week and they make everyone the same.

At Pt England School the school uniform is too expensive. The jacket is $49 - $54 dollars. It is about 40 dollars for a sport t-shirt, which is compulsory to wear when we do fitness, And the culottes/shorts are about $32. But in the year 7&8 / intermediate all the girls have to wear culottes which are about $47. So if we just wore the clothes sitting in our draw waiting to be used, it would help students families a lot more.

Reason number 2, I think here in New Zealand there are some poor students that only have 1 set of uniform, so they either wash their uniforms everyday when they get home from school, Or they wear the same pair of uniform at school for 5 days. Then on a Friday they would wash their uniform so it would be fresh and clean for the next week. So what I’m trying to pin is that if we just wear the clothes that are sitting in our draw it would be easier. And yes you would still have to wash your mufti clothes everyday but sometimes when schools have bright uniform and you keep washing it, it either fades or shrinks. 

Some school staff, principals or teachers think wearing school uniforms help prevent to stop bullying. Because it makes everyone the same and some schools are so strict that your hair tie has to be your school uniform color or your socks have to black or white. Well at my school you aren’t allowed to wear hoops in your ears because they might get caught on something. But that’s not the point. The point is in my point of view is that teachers need to be harder on kids so they don’t bully and actually talk to kids and be more open to kids and be nicer to the kids who they think might need some actual help. Like talking to the kids who don't feel comfortable talking to their own families.

So overall I think students shouldn’t have to wear school uniform or some schools should even give students the option to wear school uniform or to wear mufti. So that if there is a school trip the teachers can tell the kids to wear their school uniforms so that the public can see what school is that. But back at school on normal days teachers or principals could give students the option to wear mufti. So here in NZ I think some schools uniforms prices are too high and some parents just can't afford it. Or school uniforms makes more laundry sometimes, or if you have 1 set of uniform every time you wash it, it starts to fade or shrink. I even think it's sometimes best to look different and just learn to accept people for who they are and teachers should teach that.

Task Description - Ms Tapuke gave Room 2 Literacy a topic and we had to look at the pro's and con's site that she had linked for us before writing our 3 main opinion. After looking at the pro's and con's we had to say if we agreed or disagreed with the topic/statement. Then we had to write our 3 main points on why we agree or disagree like a like brainstorm. Ms Tapuke helped me with my

Meet the Kākāpō! (create task)

This is my create task that I had to do for week 9 and 10. This poster is a information web about Kakapo's titled Meet the Kākāpō. I had to pretty much summarize the information off this article we first had to read before starting our task.

Whats inside a cell?

What’s inside a cell?

SAY IT - NAME IT - LABEL IT

NUCLEUS: It is an organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It is also known as the brain of the cell. 

RIBOSOMES:  Are where RNA is translated into protein. The protein is called protein synthesis. Ribosomes also bound to endoplasmic reticulum.

CHROMOSOME: They carry all the information that helps a cell grow, thrive and reproduce. Chromosomes are also made up of DNA. Segments of DNA in specific patterns are called genes. Your genes also make you who you are.

GOLGI BODIES: Receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It modifies some of them and sorts, concentrates and packs them into sealed droplets called vesicles.

MITOCHONDRION: Are the working organelles that keeps the cell full of energy. They are also small organelles floating free throughout the cell. 

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: This is also a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.

Morse Code

Did you know in New Zealand this week is math week. So in Math our teacher Mrs Stone put us into little groups I was with Naomi, Amelia and Jaylim so there were four of us. There were 7 groups altogether and after we found out what our groups were we were told to go to a table. Mrs Stone then came around the classroom handing out 3 papers, one paper had the key to solving the questions that were on the other 2 papers. I think it was fun working together as a team to work out the questions together.

Breakout in Maths!

Today for the last day of Maths Week we did a breakout. If you don't know what a breakout is click this link! We worked in our Maths week groups for this task as a team. I worked with Amelia and Hinerangi, Jaylim was busy and Naomi was at a tournament. In my opinion I had fun working this problem thing out.

KPMG Reflection

Today we got the opportunity to go to KPMG. My favourite part was the food because it was the first time the chefs did curly fries along with the curly fries there were mini burgers and like mini pizza bread. If you didn't know KPMG is Manaiakalani's main sponsor. KPMG is a multinational professional services network, and one of the Big Four accounting organisations.

When we arrived some of the KPMG staff introduced them self and then two lady's named Susan and Lucy talked to us about their job, Ecology. After they talked to us about what they do we had Scones with raisins in it for Morning Tea. Straight after Morning Tea we went for a little walk and visited this charity called Sustainable Coastlines. When we got there a they did a little presentation for us about what they do and more. When we arrived back to the KPMG building we did a little activity that we were given by a lady named Miro. Lunch then came so we had lunch then we completed our activity. When two o'clock came we started to pack up and got ready to go back to school.
