Being a Good Friend

WALT: explain to your reader what being a good friend means

Friends… What are friends? Friends are people you can play with, talk with and they can comfort you when your feeling sad. They will be there for you no matter what. if you have a friend that is unkind and greedy to others then thats not a good friend.

Being a good friend means that you are kind to all your friends no matter how different they are. If one of your friends is sad or lonely don't just stand there and look at her(or him) do something! Try to make them feel better or go find a teacher so they can find the person who made them feel sad. Don’t be mean because thats not a good way to be a friend.



If you are new to a school and don’t have any friends try and look for one and make sure there the right friends. Don’t choose mean friends because no one likes mean people, try to look for these things Kindness, Loyalty and generosity. Look really closely to find those three or two things. When you find them introduce yourself to them and start talking to them.

What happens if your friends fight? Try to stop them fighting so you can talk about it and find what the problem is or find a teacher to help stop them and then talk about. But what if there hitting and punching each other? Pull them apart and get them to calm down after that take them to a teacher or the office so they can sort any injuries and then the problem.

Everyone should have a friend no one should be lonely and if you see someone lonely go and play with them. We are all human and special in our on way and I hope this helps you with your friends.

Symbols

This week the Year five and six Extension group have been learning about symbols. Symbol means a sign of something like the symbol of the girls and boys toilets for the girls its a  symbol of a girl an for the boys a symbol of a boy of course.

We all got into groups of two and we had one minute to talk about one thing that is most important  and then we had to draw it as a symbol. I said my family is important and my Church and Jesus, Mrs Telea was my partner and she said that Jesus is important as well and her family and her baby sister who is not well.

Here is the Symbol that Mrs Telea drew for me

Lucy Capitals

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Do you know what a Capital letter is? A Capital letter is a bigger version of a little letter (AKA lowercase letter). Capitals are not always the same shape as the lowercase letter like the capital letter R it does not look like the lowercase r.

This is one of the times to use a Capital letter. You can use a capital letter for someone’s name for example “My name is Lucy Misilei” There must be a Capital letter at the start of a name and at the start of the last name because it shows respect to the person’s name.

Another time to use Capitals is the start of a title like the title of a movie for instance “ I watched the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Monday” or you can use it for Brands, Games, Shops, and Books like Harry Potter or Diary of a Wimpy Kid.



You can also use it for geographical places. Geographical places means places like a country, ocean, city and continent. Here are some examples, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean, Auckland 
 and Europe.
This is the marks I give myself for paragraph 4

Everyone knows that you have to put a Capital letter after a full stop but did you know you do that with question marks and exclamation marks too. Question marks and Exclamation marks have dots under them and look like this ?! the dots are like full stops so after a question mark or exclamation mark you put a Capital letter for instance “ I’m so happy! I can’t wait to go to Rainbow’s end”.

I conclude that  you must put Capital letters in your writing! If you don’t your audience will not understand your writing. So remember what I have written and you will be the best writer you can be.
