Going On Facebook

WALT disagree/agree about going on Facebook.

 I do not agree that Children under 13 should not have an Facebook account.

Children under 13 should not have an Facebook account. All those people under 13 years old has to remove their Facebook account because they might do something wrong then they might go to jail. They will go to jail by doing things wrong like posting really bad photos then they will get reported by other adults when they figured out that we are children under 13.

We should not have an Facebook account. They might hack your account. There might be people posting bad photos to you and all people. Facebook can make you get in trouble by getting reported by your friends, when you write down where you live some strangers from Facebook could see where you live then they might come to your place then steal your things, break your things which is glass.  

In school we should not go on Facebook.

It might interrupt our learning.  If we use our laptops to learn and we go to Facebook it might get us in trouble. We should not go on Facebook when it is learning time because it can ruin your learning and it could ruin your classmates learning time.

What Does Decimal Mean?

WALT to know what does discrimination mean.

In Room 5 we have been learning about decimal. Decimal means like you're asking other people to go away and that person who had to go away feels sad, alone and it would feel like nobody likes her. If I was asked to go away I would feel so upset, and I would feel also alone. If you see girls playing tag and you told the girls that you wanted to play tag with them and they said no to you because they don't like your freckles on your face and you are a nerd, the person who said that to you is hurting Gods creations then God would punish them and He would also feel sad.

That is what decimal mean!!!
