Nga Manu Korero

On 7/5/19 was Nga manu korero we had to sit down and listen to some people speak about random things. It was boring, but how would I know? All I did was watch a video  


So are you wondering what happened? There was a person talking about a box, he said that it could be a rocket ship and  there was another that talked about how people see different sides of her.


I thought they were really confident and  funny. the schools that were there were kura kaupapa, kaikohe east, kaikohe west and Northland college.

             I think Aliens  are real


Have you ever seen $10000? Just cause you haven’t seen
it doesn’t mean it’s not real there may be aliens out there.
Firstly there are more planets in the galaxy. Secondly,
there have been 9,480,000 sightings of aliens.
Thirdly farmers livestock have been taken. So let’s get
deeper into these theories.


Firstly, astronauts haven’t been to every planet in the galaxy.
there over 100000 planets in the galaxy there could be life on
some of them.


Secondly, there have been 9,480,000 sightings. You see
shooting stars in the sky but they could be UFO’s
(Unidentified Floating Objects).


Thirdly, farmers livestock have been stolen. Well, that could be
people but they could also be aliens.


So, in Conclusion, there could be aliens out there  because
there are more than 1,0000 planets, there have been sightings
and livestock been stolen

Students shouldn’t have to do homework



Do you like homework? I don’t!  Homework is when we have to do school work at home.  We have already spent 6 hours a day learning and building our knowledge.  Why should we have to do more school work at home? I believe that students shouldn’t have to do homework.  My reasons are simple. Firstly, it can cause stress. Secondly, it takes up time for extracurricular activities. Finally, studies show that there is no educational improvements for doing homework.


Firstly, according to Stanford University 56% of students consider doing homework stressful. Too much homework can cause a lack of sleep, headaches, exhaustion and even weight loss.  It can also cause poor eating habits. I always stress about getting growlings from my parents and teacher if it isn’t completed.


Secondly I’d want to play rather than do homework . I mean who wants to go home and have to do work, children should be able to go home and play games or have a snack, not have to do homework. Imagine this: your at school it just finished you go home and sit down and you want to rest but your mum comes in and says “get out of bed and do your homework” .and all you want to do is rest but you have homework.


Finally, there is absolutely zero scientific research in the world  that supports the benefit of homework. A Professor named Harris Cooper, one of the most respected researchers on homework says  “there is no proof that any homework improves the movement of primary school students”.


In conclusion, students shouldn’t have to do homework because it can cause stress, leading to exhaustion, lack of sleep and bad eating habits.  It takes up your social time with family and friends and finally it has been scientifically proven that it has no benefits to our overall education.  For these reasons I firmly believe that students shouldn’t have to do homework.
