They have helped me overcome some of my fears also they taught me to participate i used to be so shy but now i am confident i am ready for my next year. They have taught me well for the past 8 years i have had so much fun at the trips mainly the camps thank you Point England school for what you have done for me.

Literacy planet

 I Think literacy planet is good it is just like math whizz but with literacy it teaches you new things it improves your mindset it makes you think a different way. The more work you do the more points you get and you want to try your best until you have got no more but it is endless the teacher can give you more work and on different levels. It is from yr 1 to yr 11 levels they are quite interesting and the fun of competing with points is making it a lot funner and challenging. You also get gems which allows you to customize your character. There is a percent on how you do you want to aim to get 100%. There is three categories spelling, comprehension and grammar it is a very fun tool to use. There are practises and different things to help you before you get your final result this is why I think it is good. this is how many gems I have:

Attitude talk

Today we had an attitude talk with Robbie and charlie. in separating the girls and boys we talked about  how valuable we are and who we can trust also how our bodies are changing. we are valuable because of the way we are different they basically told us to not try be a different person and be yourself in ea good way. they were talking a bit about there childhoods and how they were different and how there friends knew they were weird they still liked him. it was really funny it was crack up listening to there jokes.

pet speech

 In my personal opinion i think a dog would be a good pet also i reckon like a small one that doesn’t cost much like a Treeing Walker Coonhound dog. And like food for puppies not for dogs. 

Others agree they aren’t that hard to train

Without a doubt they aren’t as hard as a tiger to train

 feel extremely confident that they are loyal to the owner

 i am absolutely certain that they won’t run away from the owner because my dog doesn’t run away from us

in my personal opinion they aren’t hard to clean

in truth, I clean my dog and it takes me a short time to clean my dog

So that is why in my personal opinion i think a dog would be a good pet.
