Should grandparents get paid

Should Grandparents get paid to look after Grandchildren

I believe that grandparents don’t get paid for looking after grandchildren.These are my reasons why grandparents get paid to look after grandchildren.In my opinion I don’t think that grandparents get paid because they just babysit  children when parents go some places.

Grandparents love to help look after the children and I think that it is very exciting for them. First  reason is most parents are really busy and they call grandparents to come and look after them for the  night. second reason is that grandparents is just taking a opportunity to look after the children and it is really a big   responsibility. I think that getting paid is not worth it because they have other stuff to do. In my culture we have older siblings to come and look after us. Having grandparents is fun and  you don’t like having a babysitter you do what you want to do and not join in the fun.

Another reason is that grandparents have the time to spend  great times with the children and it is responsibility  for them just like taking them to bed for bedtime stories. Grand parents do whatever they do and children do stuff. My last reason is that some children doesn’t want a babysit they want to be alone.

Simple machine challenge

About two weeks ago Mr Hendricks was going to pick Sive up with his thumb. He used some long
wood and a lever. One person had to stand at the wood and Mr hendricks used his thumb to push down.
It worked very well. We were all shocked. Next more students started to have a try. One  of them tried to push right down  it didn't work.

Simple machines

This is my simple machine. I was trying to make a car. I used some materials at home to make my simple machine. We are making these simple machines because we are having a display at week 7.We were learning about simple machines and we were making them out of pulley and wheel and axle.

Reading Activities T3W3

Activity 1 Discuss the choice of character names chosen by the author.Lucy Mrs Goo Mr Chew  Ms blewitt. Lucy she likes to do a fun job and very easy. She was chosen to look after bubblegum machine and she also took some bubblegum home.

Activity 2 How did Lucy work out many pieces to take home?She has worked out many packets in each boxs everyday when the machine made only 25 the machine started to make more each time. She took seven pieces of bubblegum to take home.

Today I picked these two activity that I put up. One activity was when to choose  a character that that the author has chosen.I like this activity because it is very easy thing to do. The next activity was how many pieces lucy took home. The bubblegum machine made more and more Lucy had an idea of her own but some of the manager didn't know how she did it.These were the most activity that I worked on one of my goals were to read and understand the story next you type the sentences and
on the activity that you are going to do.

boys helping

This morning the boys were helping Mr Hendricks set up the logs on the muddy grass.

They put the logs into a line so that no one can walk on the muddy grass. There was only one job leave out and that was the volleyball net Mr hendricks haven't find out where to put it.

Comparing fractions

This week we used inequality signs <, > and = to compare fractions.

On Monday we used materials. This was easy for me because we used materials we put one big piece and put another piece on the other and it  tells me which is bigger.

On Tuesday we used a fraction chart. I found this very  was easy for me because I used my fraction chart and put my two fingers to point where the right answer is.

On Wednesday  we worked without the above.  We learnt a strategy which was addition and comparing fractions. The  knowledge required to solve this problem was using times table to know all the answers.This was easy for me because I made the denominator the same.

Football skills

This morning Steve the coach taught us many skills these were some of the skills:  kick with your the inside or outside of your foot.  When a person tries to kick or take your ball stop and the turn.

Football is very challenging for me when I started playing  and most of the time I can only kick the ball and pass it to my teammates. Sometimes I try to kick the ball and score a goal.

Football is a fun game to play when most of the children are here but there are more sports to play. I probably chose tennis because I love to hit the ball with a racket.
