The power of words

This morning we all read a article called, The power of words.

It was all about cyberbullying. We had to answer three simple questions.

What is the problem?

The problem was that the kids that were getting cyberbullyed didn't do anything about it.

How do you think they felt when they saw these messages?

I think they felt scared because they didn't know what to do.

How would you feel if you got these messages?

I would feel scared because I don't know who their from.

Ariana- The Weet-bix Try-athlon 2012

On the 21.3.12 I traveled to the weet- bix try-athlon. I was in a team with Kiarn and Jared. I was swimming. I had to swim two lengths but I stopped halfway and got a flutter board because my legs started to hurt. There were life guards every where so they could help you. When I got to the end of the pool I had to turn around and go to the other end of the pool. Then I had to jump out of the pool and go tag Kiarn who was biking. I couldn't walk properly because my legs were sore but I still got to Kiarn. I was proud of myself for completing the race. My favourite part was when I did the race and finished it. The try-athlon was scintillating!!!

Emily's Weet-Bix Triathlon

On the 21/3/12 I raced in the Weet-Bix Try-athlon 2012. I did the individual race as a 9 year old. Four students did the individual race, it was a very sublime tryathlon for our school. For swimming the 9 year olds all had to swim 100 metres which is 2 lengths, luckily there were people with flutterboards to help people swim. Then it was the bike, you had to bike 4km if you were 7-10 years old. I managed to finish the bike confidently. The last event was the run, you had to run a long way 1.5km to finish the tryathlon. When you finished your race you get a medal and a card that told you when you finished the tryathlon. My time was 48 minutes. I really was delighted I took part in this triathlon.

Lance - E-books online

We believe E-books motivate children because of the music. The music sets the scene. I like E-books because they are fun to use. E-books might change schools because all children who use them will need a computer.

Winston E-books online

We think E-books may be a lot cheaper then buying books. How might it change schools? They could be bad because they might have bad language and they might make children lazy by not reading and just listening.

Koare E-books online

We believe E-books will be useful in the future because we won't need to carry so many books. They might change schools because all of the children who use them will need a computer and they are very expensive.
