My Speech 2018

๐ŸŒจWe have speeches at our school, so I created a speech of something everyone dreams of.... ๐ŸŒจ

Have you ever had a dream where something really good is about to happen and then... Beep Beep Beep, Good morning let the stress begin. Hi I’m Sofia Royster and I’m going to tell you why school should start later. Something we all have in common is a rushed breakfast. But why be rushed isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day? Instead of shoving weetabix down your throat take your time to create a healthy breakfast. Think about adding hard boiled eggs, toast with cheese and tomato, a smoothie, and yogurt with some granola and fresh fruit. Are you regretting your breakfast this morning yet? I know I am. But what if school didn’t start later and you had a really busy night cough cough fortnite cough and had to get into bed at about 10:00 pm then you woke up to that stupid BEEP BEEP BEEP at like 6:45 in the morning. The chances of you pressing the snooze button 10 trillion times is 99.99999% Out of 100. Well, if your like me. Children need sleep and going to bed at about 10 and waking up at 6 is only 7 hours of sleep. Kids from the ages of 5 to 13 need about 10 to 12 hours of sleep. That’s about the ages of Wainui Beach School students. Beaches, ah those totally picture perfect beaches. The beach is SO beautiful in mornings. Imagine waking up and going to the beach. That would set our teachers off for an awesome, calm school day. Walking on the beach doesn't only make you happy it does have benefits too. Did you know that people enjoy walking on the beach so much they walk more than they would walking on the street or a treadmill so they are exercising and enjoying it. That’s a perfect hack for me. When humans walk on the beach, the sound of waves and birds will likely let all struggles and worries erase from your brain and they can enjoy the rest of their day not holding all that hatred and stress inside of them. Then again none of this is possible because of the starting time of school, so I think Wainui Beach School could be the first school in New Zealand to start school at 10:30 and end at 3:00 so us students get 5 hours of great learning. Do you wish you could have that extra sleep in the mornings? I know in my experience, when I have that extra snooze in the morning it’s always “LET'S GO! COME ON GUYS WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!” So let’s be like cat’s spending two thirds of their lives sleeping; School SHOULD start later.



Hope you enjoyed it! Comment if you think school should start later๐Ÿค” I clearly do ๐Ÿคฃ Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ”–

Quality Blogging Comments

Have you ever posted a comment on anything? Facebook, Blogging, Instagram, Youtube ect?  And then you checked 4000 times but when you post it you see something wrong?? Well I know I definitely have! So here I am showing you one of my comments' on a boy's blog from Blaketown School. ๐Ÿ˜บ



I added a Greeting sentence. Explaining who I was. I added a positive sentence. Telling him what he did great. I added relating sentence. Explaining he's not alone and we all get a little un-focused at times. And I added a helpful sentence.  Telling him a 'Maybe Next Time' sentence.

I checked with my friend Amelia and she told me that it had no grammar mistakes or any sentences that didn't make sense. So I posted it on his blog. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™‰

That is a quality blog post!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Leave some quality comments and feedback! ๐Ÿคฃ

The Sunshine State

When I was on holiday, I went to California. It really was magical, when I was surfing I heard.... 


๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒคSunshine State๐ŸŒค๐Ÿ„
       
“Woohoo” I thought to myself as I pushed the white, small, skinny fiberglass board with my hands. I just learnt how to duck dive and I loved going under the waves and hearing the whales from a distance, the salty water somehow always made it into my mouth, and when I returned to the surface of the clear water I could somehow smell the humid air. A set hasn’t formed - yet. Quickly I paddle to get out back before the waves start to create a set. Isn’t that sound beautiful or what? The sound of bubbles rising from the surface, it’s even more magical because the bubbles are made by a big turtle down in the blue. Although I was enjoying watching the fish and turtles play, I needed to get out back; a set is forming. Why are the waves so awesome, colossal, annoying all at the same time? Why is it that the waves decide now is a good time to form?? Ok, fine, paddle, paddle, paddle and…. BOOM!
