Water Pollution in Glenbrae School

Room 7 decided to do some researching inside Glenbrae School and explore what our school has in store for us. Room 7 were determined to search through drains and see how much rubbish Glenbrae stores into the drains, which lead into Water Pollution. After a while peeking through the drains of Glenbrae, Room 7 noticed that there were a lot of packaged food items. Multiple food packages were found not only in the drain, but all around the bright green grass. Mrs Tofa, took some pictures and about what type of rubbish is lurking inside our drains. Before Mrs Tofa decided for Room 7 to go outside searching for rubbish, she discussed creating a movie, slideshow or poster. Here is a few pictures on what type of rubbish Glenbrae had.

I really enjoyed this morning.

Why our School should have a School Bus

Why our School should have a School Bus.

Having a School bus would be very useful. I am debating on whether our School should or should not have a School Bus, I have many many reasons for arguing from this point.

I have several reasons for arguing this point of view. First, having a School Bus is important because if we are needed a School ride, there is no need for calling a taxi, uber or rental busses. When we need to go on a School trip our School wouldn’t need to spend extra money on a Bus.

A further reason is that people living far from School can catch the School bus and the bus would take them straight to School. For example I live in Mount Wellington and my School is in Glen Innes, I would walk to a specific bus stop and catch the School Bus.

Furthermore reasons are that, when having a School Bus, students can catch the bus but pay for a little amount. Living in Mount Wellington, going to the bus stop to catch the bus and not paying as much as Auckland Transport would be very nice for all students catching the bus.

Therefore though some people might argue that my statements/reasons could be incorrect.

I think that I have shown proper statements/reason about School Busses.

We shouldn't have school unifoms

We shouldn’t have School Uniforms

Having School Uniforms is a pleasure and a good gift for all, I am debating about having school uniforms and have reasons to back my statement up.  

I have several reasons for arguing this point of view. First, wearing school uniforms is a good thing because, during school trips or outings we could get noticed for doing a good deed. Saying this specifically, normally towards the end of a trip or school outing, we help clean up the place. If we had our school uniforms on, then the person incharge of the place would know  which school students had  helped in keeping the place clean and tidy.

A further reason is that on sports days we could also get noticed but for a different reason. If an opponent would want to know which school we are from they would see our School Sports Uniform and know which school we are from.

Furthermore, school uniforms won’t make us feel different in any way, for example if a school students have school uniforms, anyone couldn’t/wouldn’t see us for different equals. They will only see that none of us are rich and no of us are less rich. That is why it’s important to have school uniform.

Therefore though some people might argue that my statements could be incorrect.

I think that I have shown proper statements about Schools and Uniforms.
