1. Why do you think integrity is important?

Because  it is important to be honest and have people that rely on you.

2. How has your integrity or character been tested to the limit? What did you do in response?

By doing stuff that i don’t get told to do.

3. Do you think that integrity is a part of your nature? Do your instincts warn you when you are doing
something that doesn’t show integrity?

I think that when you are young you don’t really understand but when you are elder you know what is going
on.

Practical Thinking Questions:

1. Do you think the whole world could one day show integrity? If not, why might this be impossible.

I don’t think that you could get the whole world to do it.

2. Do you think our national and international world leaders display integrity? How and how not? Be specific.

I think that we sometimes do and don’t.

weekly reflection

i think that it is good how it is in the class right now because i get on with my work and i am used to it. i get on with being told what to do but i would prefer being asked what i want to do. i keep focus by doing the one thing and deal with the thing that i am doing. i will focus with my projects i will just do it and get it done with. 

my sentience

To his horror, the fairy was standing there.

My story

You could hear the sweat running down the man's face from a mile away. It was an ancient land of trees and lots of plants. You could smell the wet dew falling to the dark green grass. In front of the old man was a witch with old wrinkly skin crookedly stood in front of the man.

Critical Thinking Challenges:

1. Do you believe kids being really busy is a good or a bad thing? Why?

I think that kids being bussey is a good thing because they might not like it but if  you don’t do it then
you will get lazy and fat.

2. If you think bad, think of three solutions for this issue. If you think good, think of three ways to
encourage other kids to get busier! Do lots of work and don’t get lazy.

3. Think about the role of teachers and parents in encouraging extra-curricular activities. Is it up to them,
or to the kids themselves?  I think that parents should tell kids what to do.

Practical Tasks:

1. Ask your parents what they think is best, and what worked with you and your siblings. My Dad thinks
that it is good for me to do work otherwise I will get lazy.

2. Make yourself a schedule for this week that keeps you busy in the afternoon or when you would usually
have downtime. If it goes well you could make it permanent! Monday get ready for school. Get on the bus
get to school do work at school go home on the bus go on the farm and get calves go home and get
ready for scouts when Dad gets home we go to scouts.   

3. Research the positives and negatives of being a kid with a busy schedule. What are the short and long
term effects? Working, whether paid or unpaid, is good for our health and wellbeing. It contributes to our
happiness, helps us to build confidence and self-esteem, and rewards us financially. Because of these
benefits, it is important to return to work as soon as possible after an illness or injury.

little red riding hood

Little red riding hood.

In a time of violence and war there was a small village on top of a rolling hill. The small village had
never seen the light since the last wolf had been slayed.

In the old village there was a little girl with long blond hair. She was related to the old man that
had slayed the wolf. It was at least 100 years ago since it had happened. The old man had been
caught face to face with the biggest and baddest wolf of all. The man was pinned to the ground
but he remembered  the knife that he keeps in his pocket. The old man jabed the wolf with the
knife and ran to the axe that he dropped. The big man swung his axe and cut the wolf right
through the head. Under the full moon the man gutted the wolf. He wiped the blood with his coat
and it faded blood red.

The man ran back to the old cottage doorway kicking his big black old boots to the wall. One
month later under the full moon the old man had got sick and was dying. all of a sudden the old
man fell dead in the living room floor. The person who was living with him took the coat off the
man and buried him the next day. The rest of the time she was alive she had a baby that grew up
and took the coat. Time passed on and the coat was passed through time until it was little red
riding hood's turn to take it on.

It was a couple years after little red riding hood had the coat she got ordered to go to
grandma's old cottage and give granny a basket of treats. Little red riding hood’s mum yelled that
if she didn’t she would get the five knife slices. But it was the wrong day to go into the woods.

The little girl grabbed a knife in case granny went crazy. So little red riding hood set off on her
journey to grandma's house. It had been a while since she had gone to grandma's house. The path
was a lot overgrown. When little red riding hood had reached halfway of the track there was a
small muddy hill. As little red riding hood slowly walked past she slipped and fell she ended down
by a small river that was really cold and was a dark watery color that had big cubes of ice.

Little red riding hood looked up and saw that there was a bridge in front of her that looked like
blocks of melting chocolate. Next to her she saw a little boy that was quite fat on the other side
of the river. Little red riding hood asked whereabouts she was to the little boy and he told her to
run away very quietly.

He started to walk away with a small bucket of the water that he got from the stream.  As he
walked little red riding hood looked in front of him and there was a big mansion of all the sweets
you can imagine. It started to get dark and little red riding hood fell asleep on the green moss.
The next day little red riding hood woke up it felt like she was in a bed of marshmallows and when
she looked she was in a bed of marshmallows! Little red riding hood was shocked. She lay on the
soft bed until she heard someone quietly knocking at the door made of chocolate.

She whispered to the door come in and the door opened. At the other side of the room the creaky door opened and a little boy stood at the door. With a dirty apron on he walked to the bed and with a slow heart little red riding hood wisped  ‘where am i and waited for a reply was come here’. The boy took me to the kitchen and in the middle of the room there was a big pot. After a little bit of time I asked what is the bubbly water in it. But before she could say the last words the door opened and Hansle pushed little red riding hood into the boiling hot water and she died slowly in pain. The end.
