My opinion for BYOD

BYOD

Do you think we should have Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) at nelson central school?

Well I have mixed opinions, there would be a lot of rules to go over but at the same time

There would be plenty of benefits.

One reason why I think we shouldn't have BYOD is because a lot of parents can't afford

To buy devices for their children. So a lot of children might feel left out and won't be able to

Join other people's online games that your friend might be playing.

But like i said at the beginning of my argument there are some benefits of BYOD as well.

It would be good if everyone had a device for learning because at the moment we don't

Have enough for everyone, we have three ipads and three computers and there is 30

Students in our class which makes it five people between one device. And devices are

good for research and communication.

But another reason why i don’t think we should have BYOD is because some parents might

Not approve of their children having loads of screen time. Im sure im not the only one that

Has a time limit on my device! But also think about the teacher, if a child lost of broke their

Device the teacher would probably get the blame when really the child's responsibility.

In conclusion, i have mixed opinions for BYOD although they are good for learning

They can easily get stolen or broken at school. So what do you think of BYOD at Nelson

central school.

our AWESOME ski trip

We had a lot of fun at the ski field and so many people improved or learnt how to ski up at the ski field. Here is a video of what some of the things that we got up to. I was so proud of myself that I got up to the intermediate slope. It was cold at first but after a few hours of skiing we were all boiling hot.

the suter trip

On Tuesday Room 2 went to the Library to do some art with Ester. We went to a doctor Suess exhibition. We first chose a piece of paper that had a colour and we mixed the paints that we had to match the colour and then we painted the colour onto little shapes of people.We also wrote what the emotion that the colour represented to us. 

Then we used those colours to 

colour in another bigger and

better picture of a person. We

were allowed to do patterns

and swirls and stuff like that.

We had a lot of fun mixing the 

colours. The colours had to be

based on an emotion, some

people chose happy but I

chose lonely because blue

is a lonely colour to me 

but it's still my favourite 

colour.

This year our school have become an inviro school, Here is a slide show that me and Michael made about sustainability and changes we would make for a better environment.

Simon the Wild Thing

Simon the wild thing

Simon the wild thing is a kind, soft, gentle wild thing and he is as tidy as a perfectionist (thats because he is one) and he cant have a single strand of fur out of place. He bathes twice a day in the water from the lake near by after his long bath he, he straitens his hair and fur. He also polishes his horn and tusks twice a day after his bath and cuts his nails to the EXCACT length that it should be. He has small ears that hide beneath his hair and he always wears a suit and he is two and a half metres tall. He has big black and white goggly eyes with no eye lashes or eye brows and underneath  his fur is thick leathery skin.

Simon the wild thing does a lot of house work and tidies up after his pet frogs. When he vacuums he is very cautions because he is aware that it could suck up his frogs. He doesn't talk much he just does what he is told. He would never disobey or disagree with his many friends.

Simon is adventures, extreme and most definitely fearless he loves to go mountain biking and sailing on his home-made raft. When Simon is climbing trees, he would go as high as he feels like because he jump from tree to tree like a monkey. During the night he decides whether he would like to sleep in his hut or hangs from a tree like a sloth. Simons weakness is mornings. He is NOT a morning person. He gets up at about one in the afternoon.

That is my wild thing
