Watching Television Makes us really clever

Watching Television makes us clever-By Summer

Learning Intention-we are learning to write persuasive writing.

Success Criteria:I know I am successful when I can persuade someone to agree with my writing.

I think watching television makes our brains clever:

Television can give us fun facts about animals,insects and plants.Some channels can teach you how to cook different kinds of food to make for our family.Also cartoons can teach you how to speak different language like Dora the explorer,she can teach you how to say words in Spanish.Some movies can teach you how to play net-ball basket-ball and soccer.Television can tell you about the weather and whats happening in other countries,or to children that are sick.

Watching too much television and, not moving will make you lazy and fat.Some television programme can be really rude,swears a lot, really scary and has so much violence in it.Watching too much television makes our eyes sore and if it is so bad you might get blind.

I think Television makes our brains rot:

Fish make good pets-By Summer

Learning Intention-W.A.L.T:write persuasive writing.
Success Criteria:I am successful when I  can persuade some-one to agree with my argument. 


I think fish are good pets.
They don't make any loud noise.They can do cool tricks like jumping up and down in the water or spinning round and around.Fish are pretty easy to look after because all you need to do is feed them, then you can relax.Fish have lovely colourful scales that shine.

Sometimes fish make bad pets because you can't really do anything with your pet fish.They can't go anywhere because they just stay in a round glass called aquarium filled with water.You can't play with a pet fish because if you touch the glass it gets scared and swims away from you.
I think fish is a good pet because they are really fun to watch them do lots of tricks.
