Writing - Explanation - Your wearing plastic?
Everywhere in this round world,plastic is recycled to produce clothing, your plastic bottles,plastic trays and all your plastic material can be recycled into soft/hard items and beautiful clothing that you can wear.
Every second week,a green recycling truck comes and takes your recycling and that's the last time you’ll see your rubbish.But did you know that isn't the end of it? well,when the truck reaches its destination,the recycling is dropped off and at that point it is shredded into millions of tiny pieces.When all that shredding is done,workers package it and it’s ready for traveling.
The contained recycling is seated into a recycling ship and then travels to China.Firstly,workers must separate the recycling into separate baths.The coloured plastics can float,so the workers could just strain it.The sticker bath is more dangerous because the stickers have a dangerous Liquid on them which could really damage the skin,if made friendly contact with it.
After the plastic has gotten really soaked,the plastic now has to be dried because people don't want to be wearing hot and wet clothing.So,the workers put the wet plastics into a roasting oven for 10 full hours.The plastic comes out of a drum.The workers then take a metal cart and have to be careful before they might hit their head on one of the huge drums.The cart has to be moved back and forth to collect the hot and dry plastic.
When they have finally collected as much plastic as the cart can hold,but the problem is that they just have millions of shredded pieces of dry and hot plastic,so what could they do? The plastics is sent through a machine with a giant screw that melts and turns all the plastic into one huge plastic material.But you can't make clothing with just huge lumps of plastic,so the lump of plastic is squashed through a strainer,which makes millions of long thin plastic strings’.
After that,the plastic string goes down a long tube,which the workers collect at the bottom.Now that the plastic is nice and smooth,it is now turned into string.The string,that was plastic,now has to be stretched serval times and be heated at the same time,this will bond the fibers together.
The next stage is to tear it all up because of the fluff that comes out of raw substance you need to make polyester.But that is done in another factory,so fluff is collected up and contained to be sent through another journey.When they reach the other factory,some of the cotton/fluff is put into a machine that hardens it,the machine brushed the cotton/fluff so that the pattern on it,so it would become stronger.Now the cotton/fluff is now ready to be turned into thread.
Soon after the workers have placed the ‘soon to be thread’,into the machine,the machine would now tease it out and spin off,after mile after mile.At the same time,pure polyester is collected on bobbins thats at the end of the machine.Now our plastic has turned into pure poleyster.In a diffrent machine,it spins and weaves a new type of polyester, A softer one.The machine creates tiny loops on it, next the softer polyster is brushed but with a really strong metal brush that makes it super soft.
So we now got our clothing material so what happens?We made it this far! So different workers get to design on the clothing material,they create the newest designs or just create old designs that people seem to love still. All of the workers have to be careful while using it because they don't want to waste anymore precious clothing material.
So our old plastic has been turned into items we wear or cuddle?They were made as one,torn up again,spinned and traveled!But what happens when clothing material is wasted?

Writing - Week 4 - Descriptive writing
Didn’t try hard enough
Near the end, everything seemed to slow down.Many bikers were battling behind us, my breath started to get louder because I knew that the next turn was the last one, I was racing with five others.As I have a quick glimpse, I could see the bikers with very fixed eyes on what was on front of them,it wasn’t long before I almost hit into the biker next to me on my left.Everything seemed to be like a Maze between the five bikers because they all were able to block each other, I was in fourth place and three other bikers were infront of me.
Not long after,Me and the five bikers turned the last corner and there were millions of excited faces looking at us, the most hated thing was the camera flashes that was almost blinding, it was even worst that I was sweating so much that I could melt,maybe.I was finally able to pass two bikers and was now in third place, which made me a bit prouder.
As we were almost half way, my eyes seemed to wander about and noticed the sky, the sun was beaming and the wind was perfect to cool me down a bit to keep me going for a bit longer,suddenly I heard someone say “THEY ARE ALMOST THERE!” and that’s when I realised that I was still in third, Faster and faster, but as fast as I went, the others would speed up too.
As three of the bikers slowed down, their were only three of us left, this was my chance, closer and closer we got but..I came in second place!I smiled and waved and the crowd and the cameras got worst, so we all waited for the other bikers, I was awarded a silver medal, It was better than being in third place,next time I’ll have to try harder.

Writing - Persuasive writing - Listening to Music during Class!
Listening to music!
I strongly believe that you should allow Room 6 to be able to listen to music (With their headphones) during learning time!Here are some justifications on why you should allow this.
My first reason is that music,sets the mood to things’.I myself listen to music at home while I'm doing my writing ‘10,000 words to go home’ is about a Smoky-Coloured wolf who seems to be lost and woken up from a floating forest.He meets other people and one of the first great things is learning to fly without having to have any wings,I listened to music that would give me a feeling of flight in the clouds,The sunset in the background and the orange fire-like coloured clouds that forms like a cotton wave.If you were to Image a fight scene then you would maybe put on some rough music to support your idea,Would the monster win?Or would it end up in flames?Or would they all just die at the end of the book?,Having music supports our ideas’ and gives us the feeling and more imagination within our ideas’,Music could also express how we feel,Just like how famous singers’ would sometimes sing about a song that represents their problems’ or telling the world that they're just another person singing songs.
Another reason is that music can also keep focus,You know at the movies how people really want their peace and quiet and are like “SHHHH!!”,During the movie?And then everyone would get annoyed because that one person just said “SHHHH”,Its also like at home watching a movie,Well music is not any different from a movie.Plus,I’m sure at my age kids are really into music.When listening to music it also helps our mind to keep calm down or want to be alone with music.Its hard to talk to other people anyways while your listening to music.Do you,yourself find it hard to talk to someone while your listening to music?If it is then you would rather might wanna listen to music then try to listen and talk within music.
Music itself is one of the most important things,Music is basicly everywhere.In the trees,In the sky or even just plain typing on the keyboard.Music can be created from anything and anywhere,Weather its by a iteam or by a voice.Lyrics from a song can also be inspiring or just something that could make you stop and think about it.Music can also help us from life problems or calm yourself down atfer a certain thing like a fight with your parents.Some lyrics Like ‘You may think that Im a Zero,But hey everyone you wanna be,Maybe started off like me’,Could give you an inspiring message about people that started so small and now are sailing the world with other famous people!Other song lyrics like ‘They say before you start a war,You better know what you're fighting for’,Is also an inspiring one because it could people stop and think,About starting something.Knowing some people that have troubles,And wishing for something or wanting to remember their childhood then music could remind them like ‘Wish we could turn back, time,To the good ol’ days’,When our mama sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out’,Is a lyric just words?Or could maybe make some sence into people and now make them actuelly start thinking right and know that they aren’t a child anymore.
Also,Now a days,There are loud noisy cars,Booming trucks and just plain crazy people yelling out things because they might have just drank a few things that they should have.Including in big cities’,A city with all those buildings that look like they're gonna rip the sky and make the most annoying scrathing sound,That would maybe make your ears’ bleed.Also in cities you don't see rainbows,Sparkles and all those cute and cuddling things,You would see stressed out faces,You would see people rushing here and there,You would maybe get a really bad headache or might as well knock yourself out.You’ll also might see lots of people fighting because they spilt their coffee on someone else,What a life!If you have been in a city then you might know what i'm talking about.But luckily I haven’t been in a city,I might not have been even to cross the street.But wait!There is a bright side,Music!Music as what I have been saying in the past sentences,Is that they seriously set the mood,Time to calm down and reflect on your Busy stressful city Life!
Music is life,But it's also something that everyone should be able to do,Express themselves with some music.But music could just be simple words’,That's why I believe you should Allow the students of Room 6 to be able to listen to music.

Topic - Personal qualities!
:|Personal qualities|:
I am...
CREATIVE
SHY
HAPPY
SERIOUS
FRIENDLY
..................................................................................................................
I'm a shy person when it comes to talking to a lot of people or talking to New people that I have no information on,When Online I'm really friendly.
People say i'm CREATIVE and I do think that I am creative myself too,I mainly love drawing wolves and people,I use to draw ponies but then I suddenly got into drawing wolves and people sometimes.
I am naturally happy,But normally I'm just calm most of the times,I find things fun when sometimes others don't,I normally don't know if I'm happy or just really weird.
I’m sometimes SERIOUS about things,Sometimes i'm just completely not at all,It's sometimes hard to tell if i'm serious or not,I'm also unsure about myself.
I'm friendly to most people but siblings...Are a way different story,I love being with people that are similar like me,And at least we can talk about something we both enjoy.
