Glenbrae students should wear what they want to school!
Talofa Lava, My name is Bianca Tua and I am a year 8 student at Glenbrae primary school in Glen Innes. As you all know Glen innes is a very small community which has colleges, Primary schools and kindergartens. Our class is now learning how to write argument Writings based on the topics we were given. As you can see by the topic on my doc, We are arguing about Glenbrae students should wear what they want to school.
Firstly, people should wear uniforms because uniforms outeach students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance. It also means that you are representing your school and recognisable. Also if you wear your uniform with pride, it means you are halfway there to being respectful, buying into what the organisation is all about.
Secondly, Wearing a uniform means that you are taking pride in your school and what you wear also that you appreciate what they have given you. The logo on your uniform is the school that you are representing. It is ok to wear different clothes but during school it's good to wear a uniform.
Lastly, giving students too much freedom in their dress code will cause unnecessary problems, fighting, and stress. When there is less violence,bullying and peer pressure students feel safer attending school. Uniforms are extremely beneficial but most importantly in poorer and dangerous areas.
Kind regards

“Ring” Goes to the lunch bell. We had just finished lunch and it's time for science . As we entered the Science Lab, Jay wanted to have a look at the experiment test tubes. He thought it would be funny if we played with the liquid. As class was going to start Jay tripped and the liquid from the test tube spilt on us, as the liquid was dissolving on us we slowly were turning into miniature students.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh we are shrinking” I yelled but my voice sounded like a mouse.
How were we meant to survive? We had no idea but we had to make a plan on how to survive as miniature students. Since Jay was the only person that didn’t shrink we tried our best to make contact with him to see what he can do to turn us back into our normal size.
As days went by we slept under a cardboard box. One day our science teacher walked into the room, “Ring, ring” goes his phone as he answered, I was so surprised I heard our parents talking over the phone saying,
”Hello Mr, my name is Ashley. I am Jay’s mum. My kids have not returned home. Please help me find them. I am worried”.
The science teacher reported us missing; they asked everyone at school to tell them where they saw us last. After many hours of them looking around for us Jay reported to the Science teacher that he was playing around with the test tubes and accidentally spilt it on us and we had disappeared. So Mr bob the science teacher reported to the police that we were missing and we were probably a fraction of our normal size. What did they do next? Well they released the dogs, called detetives to try and find us.
The next day, one of the detectives was looking for fingerprints but still no sign of us. Then Mr Bob had forgotten that he had a hidden camera in the room so he looked at the footage and saw that we had turned into small students. How did they know where to find us? Well we did leave a lot of fingerprints so the detective could probably find our fingerprints around the class. Then the detective found the traces of our fingerprints and footprints but there was still no sign.
Later at night the detective had kept searching with the magnifying glass and had spotted us under the table. As a sign of relief!
I was so happy that they had found us. How did we manage to be normal sized humans? Well thank goodness for technology. The science teacher had to reverse the shrinking liquid to make us big again. Days after, Jay and the rest of us had a boundary to never touch the test tubes. I am so happy that we are back to normal.

NASA has tested a new rocket. The rocket would be launched into space in a few years because the rocket is not fully constructed.These rocket boosters will provide most of the power in the first two minutes of the rocket’s planned journey to space in 2024.
New zealand is the second safest country, there was an update yesterday about New zealand being second ranked safest country during the covid 19 pandemic. Countries like the United states are very bad but they are lucky enough that they are not on the most dangerous country list.
This is my reading enjoyment.
