Hello,
We learnt about the different types of poems for our Writing Task today.
Haiku which traditionally originated from Japan is a short form poetry. It consists of three phrases in a 5,7,5 pattern.
Haiku is an easy way to start poem writing if you haven't done it before. This is my attempt on writing a Haiku on Stars.

This is the story of Ray Kroc.He was a milkshake mixer salesman who purchased the fast food company McDonald’s in 1961 and made it into the success it is today. He had to work and convince many people of his vision. He also made changes to the business against the wishes of Richard and Maurice McDonald, the owners of McDonald’s. Ray Kroc setup McDonald’s Corporation to run the business. Although he met with failures along the way and many people did not think his ideas will work, with grit and perseverance he continued to work on his vision and McDonald’s became a worldwide success.

Hello,
For a task at school we learned about emotional literacy. It was fun to do and it helped me learn more about my emotions.
What does Emotional literacy mean ?
Emotional literacy is made up of 'the ability to understand your emotions, the ability to listen to others and empathise with their emotions, and the ability to express emotions productively.
To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your personal power and improves the quality of life around you. Emotional literacy improves relationships, creates loving possibilities between people, makes co-operative work possible, and facilitates the feeling of community.
This is a poster that I did explaining how I act with my emotions and what I can do to sustain or improve that emotion.
This is my poster:
Hello,
This week for writing we had to write a persuasive text on a topic my topic was Why money can buy happiness.
Why Money can buy happiness
You know the phrase: money can't buy happiness. It turns out, that's not all true. Money can buy happiness depending on how much wealth you have and how you spend it.
Research shows that happiness rises along with income, up to a point. A 2010 study looked at surveys of 450,000 Americans and found that people with higher incomes reported higher levels of happiness , up to an annual income of $75,000. After that, it drops off.
Sometimes money can’t buy happiness and most of the time it is short term happiness and after you buy the item you will feel good and will want to use it depending on what it is. After you use it you might feel like you want to buy something else.
Increased comfort
I think People make more money so they may have the ability to purchase things that reduce suffering like a new couch. This is true when comparing to low and moderate income groups.
More control
In fact, having a sense of control accounted for 74% of the income and well-being.
Do you like money or not care about money ?
