Students should choose their own seat - Persuasive Writing

Students should choose their own seat



I know the majority of teachers would disagree with students picking their own seats but in my opinion, I think that they should choose their own seats. This is beneficial for the students to help them improve their socialising skills, their ability to make new friends and be able to encourage each other. 

Scientists have shown that if students were to sit with their friends, they would have an enjoyable time/day. And to add to that,


I will talk about the benefits you get from choosing your seats from my introduction.

Firstly, I want to talk about improving students’ social skills, if you choose to sit with your friends, there wouldn’t be awkward situations. Being with your friends is comfortable, who would want to be with people they’re not comfortable and not close with? 

I understand the concern some teachers have but if you would trust your students, you will have a better relationship with them. If you have seating arrangements and you let a group of students who are friends sit with each other, the other students who were put into seating arrangements would think that you are biased. Furthermore, students should be treated fairly whether or not it is based on their attitude, knowledge and learning. I think that students would appreciate it if the teachers are not biased. If you want your students to behave properly then do it in a proper way of educating them. 

The first day of school, it’s overwhelming, I know, I’ve been there and it’s not really a good feeling. But when I saw familiar faces, I was relieved because I know people and I’ve worked with them before, I know the way they study. Since we know each other, we can interact with each other, we can even become closer and have lasting friendships’.

For starters, you are struggling with something, your friend can help you get back on track. If you have a problem or if you don’t understand something, you and your friend can figure it out together, moreover, that would strengthen your bond together.

You see, not everyone who sits with their social groups are that bad, they do sometimes talk a lot and if they do that is the time to separate them, don’t embarrass them in front of the class, instead, go to them and just quietly tell them off, who knows it might even teach them to be responsibility.

I am a student myself and when I sit with my friends it puts me in my comfort zone, they also bring out the best in me. Trust me, your school year would be way more fun if you’re with your friends. I even think that students work harder and are more focused when teachers are not disrupting them or butting in. 

In conclusion, it would help the students in a lot of ways, especially with their well-being. If we want to have a better hard-working, focused and fun environment, as teachers, you need to start the proper way of disciplining and educating.

Creative Writing - Holiday

Boats on the brightly blue coloured ocean. Rocky mountains covered in green as the sky shone in frozen blue. Never seen water so blue, glistening as the boats linger. I wander around the mountains, fresh air blowing, my hair elegantly flowing, I could paint a whole picture with the breathtaking view. 

I'm now enjoying my holiday after the stressful term of school, right now is the first day of my holiday. I think the place that I am in, is the place I wanted to be. Due to being stressed, I wanted to look around the heavenly place to have peace. Forgetting everything for a moment and relaxing. Finally, I can have alone time, just me and this wonderful place.

I saw something from afar that stole my attention, it was a figure, its clothes were all black, it was just standing there. The wind blew really strong causing my eyes to squint, when I opened my eyes, it was gone. I rubbed my eyes thinking that it's probably nothing. I had goosebumps, I shivered, maybe I was just hallucinating. 

I saw a black cloth flew landing on the water, I looked back at where the figure was standing, there was an old plant. I looked back at the cloth, then it hit me, it was a cloth covering the old plant, making it look like it was a figure. The figure or should I say the black cloth, disappeared because the wind blew really strong causing it to fly and land on the water. I sighed in relief, it was all just a misunderstanding.

That's the end of my creative writing, thank you for reading.

Subject I want to learn at school

Survival skills

I've seen a lot of movies where the protagonist survives the wild, tv shows, ads, etc. watching those movies makes me want to learn and think deeper how to survive out there in the wild.
I want to learn first aid, build a fire and shelter, how to make food without using modern cookwares but using traditional ones. How to hunt animals for food, how to have a mental attitude, how to make a spear for hunting, I already know how to clean water, water filtering and naturalist.
I can't really think of any careers that require surviving skills, I guess in the military or a teacher. You can teach a lot of kids about surviving skills and inspire them to be like you. You don't know, you might get an opportunity to be in the news, or break the world record for the "Longest survivor in the wild" or something.

Watch Out! Princess Jellyfish

Kumusta mga kapamilya at kaibigan! My name is Skyler and I’m here to share and give you information about Rare Jellyfishes living in the world, in the ocean rather.  Sit back and relax and get your popcorn, be prepared to be amazed because it can even blow your mind.  
Just look how beautiful they are! Yes it’s beautiful but that doesn’t mean it can’t kill and sting you.  Like they said “Don’t judge a book but its cover”, be careful!.



Flower Hat Jelly

I’m going to start with a question, do you know what a “Flower Hat Jelly” is? Have you seen it before? Well here’s the picture…

Flower hat jelly

My resources:


Flower Hat Jelly is a rare species that you can only find in the West Pacific off of Southern Japan. It also has a scientific name, called “Olindias Formosus”, although it looks like a Jellyfish because of it's tentacles, but this creature is a jelly.  It is rare because of it’s multi coloured tentacles trailing from a translucent, that’s why it is recognizable and interesting.
The Flower Hat Jelly also has tentacles around its rim of its bell, it can grow to 15 cm. It can live around 4 to 5 months.  It eats small fish for it’s diet, it uses its tentacles to catch prey easily. No need to fear because it isn’t deadly to humans, but its sting is powerful enough to leave a rash, now that is painful. Here’s what I think, I think the Flower Hat Jelly is called Flower Hat Jelly because it looks like a hat and the tentacles made it look like a plant nor a flower.




Cauliflower Jellyfish also known as Crown Jellyfish


Related imageHere’s another one, Do you know what “Cauliflower Jellyfish” is? It sounds really healthy though, here’s a picture.


The Cauliflower Jellyfish resembles a big cauliflower. It lives around the mid-Pacific Indo-Pacific, and it is also found in Atlantic ocean off of West Africa.
It also has a scientific name called “Coronatae”.
It has a magnificent colour and it's tentacles almost has a translucent colour.
It lives in the ocean, not deep though, It can grow really large, to 1.5 feet to 1.9 feet. Sounds like dinner is ready!.

Crystal Jellyfish


Here’s the third one and it is called “Crystal Jellyfish” known as “aequorea victoria”.
It is found along the North America west-coast of the Pacific Ocean.
This Jellyfish is almost entirely transparent and colourless, sometimes it is difficult to resolve.Image result for crystal jellyfish
It has a powerful mouth that extend to it's bell margin. But have no effect on humans.
It's tentacles are almost thin just like a hair.
It looks like a gypsum gem.
The deeper it swims in the ocean, the brighter the jellyfish glows, it's almost unbelievable!.

Phyllorhiza Punctata known as White-spotted Jellyfish or the floating bell

White-spotted Jellyfish swimmingIt is native to the West Pacific from Australia to Japan, it kind of looks like the Cauliflower Jellyfish though.
It is easy to recognise because of it's large, semi-transparent, rounded bell covered with white dots, the trailing tentacles also has white spots. It grows 50 cm in diametre.
It lives in oceans and coastal water.
Although it looks like a wee bit of Cauliflower Jellyfish.
It has white-spotted dots on it's dome

Lampocteis known as Bloody-comb Jellyfish and Ctenophore known as Comb Jelly
Image result for comb jellies

They look different because of the bloody colour. Depending on the species, adult ctenophores range from a few millimetres to 1.5 m.  It looks like a human lungs to me and people said it looks like an alien or something weird.

Chrysaora Achlyos known as Black Sea Nettle


Black Jellyfish or Sarlacc Jellyfish,
Black sea nettles are so called because of their dark coloration. is a species or a jellyfish that can be found in the water of Pacific Ocean. Though there are reports of sightings as far sas North as British Columbia. The black sea nettle can be big, with a bell diameter potentially up to 1 metre and oral arms extending to 5 or 6 metres.  

Distinctive opaque, dark purple to nearly black are the colours of this jellyfish.
Marginal sense organs are spaced around the bell margin after every set of 3 tentacles, for a total of 8.

Phacellophora camtschatica known as the fried egg jellyfish (Hmmm! Breakfast! Good with bacon)
Image result for fried egg jellyfishThe fried egg jellyfish is a very large jellyfish, with a bell up to 2 feet in a diametre and each tentacles are up to 6 metres. This is a cool-water jellyfish that can be found in many parts of the world’s ocean.

Because of this jellyfish's sting is so weak, many sea plankton, fishes, and small crabs regularly ride on it's bell and steals food from its tentacles and oral arms.

Image result for NarcomedusaeThere isn’t much information about this Jellyfish but I put it in here anyway because this type of jellyfish are rare and they look interesting and pretty.

Moon Jellyfish known as “aurelia aurita”


Moon Jellyfish are relative to Crystal jellyfish although it’s not as big as the Crystal Jellyfish.  This jellyfish is not rare because you can find it around the ocean.  This jellyfish is translucent just like the Crystal Jellyfish, it has small-thin tentacles.
This jellyfish has a flower-shaped thingy (I actually don’t know what it’s called) under its dome.  It eats plankton for it's food, it glows bright under the water, I don’t know if it glows because of the sea color but in my opinion, it glows.

Porpita Porpita known as the “blue button”


We don’t have much information about this jellyfish, I don’t know either if its rare or not.
Image result for Porpita PorpitaIt is found in tropical waters from California to the tropical Pacific, the Atlantic and Indian oceans.  It has blue-ish (more like greenish blue) colour, probably turquoise colour.  Some of it's tentacles are small and some aren’t, it has a transparent blue tentacles.
This jellyfish isn’t deadly and it doesn’t sting, but it cause skin irritation.
The hard golden brown float is round, almost flat, and about an inch wide.
It is very small, like ½ and the tentacles are under its rim.

Time: 12:57 pm

Hey Diary, Zoey here…..

The environment was deadly and the temperature is hot as a stove, the land were all covered in sand it was like Egypt.
My brother and I live in a bunker, our parents died from the apocalypse, we don’t have much, we’re poor. I always go out to look for some recyclable stuff so I can sell them for money and buy some things that we need.

Some of us survived the apocalypse and some of us died and turn into a ghost.
The oxygen was deadly, we can’t remove our oxygen tank, if we remove it and inhale the oxygen we’ll die, there were no plants left, even the animals.

The town was dry, there wasn’t a lake or even a sea, I ran inside our house, catching my breath.
I showed my little brother the things I got, he was surprised, then I found inside my bad a black box with two large circles that almost looks like a wheel.

“What is it?” my brother said, “Do you want to play with us?” the tape recording said, “Show me!” brother said with curiosity, “Lend it to me! Turn it on again! Please!” he added, “No way! It’s very fragile-” I told him, “-If you break it, I won’t be able to sell it!” I told him with a grumpy voice, “Please! Turn it on again!” he begged me.

I put the tape recording up on the shelf, “anyway, it’s time for you to go to bed” I said, “Next time, I’ll go with you” he said to me, I know he’s concerned and worried about me but I don’t want him to get in danger, I’d rather die instead of him, “I’m old enough now!” he protested, “NO! I told you already!-” I talked back, “-It’s too dangerous!” .

“It’s always the same story…….I’m never allowed to do anything!” he said with a sad hatred voice, “Yes! That’s how things are!” I yelled, “Go to bed now, tomorrow we’ll have to wake up early” I added, “It’s always her who decides when I must go to bed” he said to me with a disappointed tone of voice.

Early in the morning, I put the cup down, “Get up lazy boy, time to wake up!” I grabbed the kettle and pour the chocolate milk into the cup, “Theo! Get up! Breakfast is ready!” I yelled, I opened the curtains to checked him but he isn’t there, I looked up the shelf and…. “Oh my God, it can’t be possible” I was shocked and worried, I accidentally dropped the cup, I grabbed the oxygen and ran outside.

I was at the town, I kept on searching and looking Theo, 5 minutes has passed, I still find him, I wondered if this is the end, I went to the playground and saw Theo laying on the ground, “Oh no! Theo! I cried, I felt heartbroken and blue,“It’s too early for him”……

Love Zoey…..

“The Piano”

There was a wretched grandpa playing the grand piano, he played the piano like he was sorrow but the tone seems from his heart, he started playing an emotional and unhappy song, it was blue but he kept on smiling to cover up the pain from his heart.
Suddenly a ghost faded in, she touched the grandpa’s hands, he felt the cold and smooth touched him, it was the sweetest grandma, the grandpa’s wife.
They played the piano together like it was a duet, the grandma kissed the grandpa on his cheek, it was like a remembrance, a remembrance to remember their unforgettable, kind-hearted, thoughtful, and immortality love.
The grandpa felt the cold lips that touched his cheek, he started playing the piano more faster but then the tone changed, the tone was like a gleeful song, he remembered the war, all the soldiers were shooting, fighting for their love, life and sake.
He also remembered when his friend got shot by a vicious enemy and died slowly.
He kept playing the piano after that he remembered something cool happened when he was a kid, his father gave him a special gift when it was his birthday, the gift was a horse head toy, it was the gift he wanted since he was 5. He passed the toy to his grandson,  after his  grandson finished riding the toy, he joined his grandpa finish the song and they both looked at each other and smiled gladly……..

The Ridge

“The Ridge”


Danny Macaskill rowed his boat on the icy-cold river,
His mission is to ride his bike on the pointy mountains,
3 hours later, he had reached the pointy mountains,
He parked his boat, after that
He got his bike out and rode it on,
He rode his bike pass through the sharp rocks.
He rode up through the sharp and pointy mountains.
He climbed up to the mountains till he got on top of the mountain, he’s like the king of the mountains.
He rode down the mountains till he got to the seashore.
He sat down with his bike and watched the waves…

Buster The Boxer

Link to the video

“Buster The Boxer”


Up, down, up down…It was night time I watched Emilia jumped on her bed, having fun. Her mum came to her room and said “calm down, calm down” and she kissed her on her forehead.
I watched her close her eyes and fell asleep, her mum looked out the window and saw her husband building the trampoline. After building the trampoline her husband went inside their house. Two foxes came toward the trampoline and got inside the small net.
They started jumping and bouncing, up and down, then a badger came inside the trampoline. The fox wanted to see if the skunk wanted to play with them then the other fox joined in, the skunk joined too, I watched them having fun outside, I felt bitterness, “Why can’t I have fun like them?”           I wondered “it’s so barbaric” I added.
It was early in the morning the sun was shining bright, Emilia ran down the stairs and ran outside to see her gift that his dad built, Emilia was so excited to see what she got for her Christmas gift! I ran outside passed Emilia and jumped inside the trampoline, I jumped up and down, I was so glad that I got to on her trampoline and have fun, I smiled with a pleasure.

THE END
