Phones!!

I truly believe that children below 15 should not have phones.

Children below 15 should not have phones because they might become addicted to texting or games that will distract them from their homework or chores.  This is affect their learning and maybe their attitudes towards others. Parents will become mad because the child will have not finish their chores.

Some people think that it's okay to have a phone when you are under 15, but it's not because children might be cyber bullying, or could be cyber bullied. Others only have phones so that they can make fun of people and spread rumors.

Another reason why people under 15 should not have phones is that they could bring them to their school and get stolen. Teacher will tell the student “ why did you bring it no students are allowed to bring phones”.

So because of this I believe that children below the age of 15 should never get a phone at young age.

Homework should be banned!

Challenges & Strategies

Challenges	Strategies
Food. Scared of Heights. Scared of being sent home. They might lose their stuff. They might get sick or hurt and will get sent home. Home sick. Getting lost Running out of your things.	Eat what I have or not at all. Let people go in front of you then you get courage to have your turn. Listen to instructions. Ask for your stuff back if not tell the teacher. Be careful of who your next to and watch your every step

Sharing a room: If their being loud I will be quiet and try my best to go to sleep.

Scared of Heights: Don’t look down and carry on with the obstacle.

If I might get sick or hurt: Look after myself and if someone is sick don’t go near them until their sickness passes.

I dont like to share a room with people because the people I share it with are noisy and when I wake up I never get a good sleep, but I will close my ears and have a good night sleep so that I can wake up happy and relaxed so that I can continue with my activities the next day.

I am scared of heights because I might fall down but to prevent this from happening I will cheer myself on and will not look down.

Trust Challenge

1. Come this way no no this way! Today we were assigned  to do a trust challenge for camp with a buddy, I was number 1 and my buddy was number 2. First number ones had to stand in a line and their buddy behind them. My buddy had to have his eyes closed and his right hand on my shoulder. My challenge was to get my buddy from the classroom to the main entrance of the school Gulp.  We set on a slow pace until till we got the hang of it we started to jog but my buddy hurt his shoulder so we slowed down, we ran and made it.

2. 
   
   When we made it to the main entrance my Teacher called the number 2s meaning my buddy and the others that they had to lead us back to class the long way around. When I had my eyes closed, holding my buddy's shoulder with a death grip and jogging I thought that I was going to smash into a tree but luckily I didn’t.

3. Inside we changed up the formation of our classroom, the person up the front kept their eyes closed and tries to navigate their way out of the classroom, I smashed my knee against the desk and through a tight squeeze then I made it onto the other side.

I liked this activity because if I was in a situation that I could not see I can trust this person to take me where I need to be.
