Orchids

This non fiction piece was done without help from Mrs. Clayton. It was an independent piece that I really enjoyed. It was all about orchids, a part of nature. Most people probably wouldn't think much about such a flower, but you'll be surprised how interesting they are! So sit back, relax, and enjoy as I take you into the lives of orchids!

I Deserve a Day Off From School Because.....

       I deserve a day off from school because first of all, 2 days off from school is NOT enough. I need MORE time to relax and MORE time to be with my family. Second, I come for school 5 days a week and I get only 2 days of rest in return? Not fair. We need more time to switch on and switch off our brains. Third, giving me a day off will be convenient for the teachers too. The teachers will also get extra time to relax and they won't even have the tension of waking up early the next day!

      I think that 1 day MINIMUM should be enough time to get ready and prepared for school the next day. Think about it, waking up so early + doing hard work at school too and only 2 days to rest? Remember, giving me a day off will be in teachers' benefit too!

      I totally deserve a day off. Giving a day off will save many of the people who love breaks, INCLUDING ME:)
