Becoming a bank teller

10/08/15

To whom it may concern,

(Bank teller)

Dear teachers,

The reason i’m applying for this job is because I can be a trustworthy person towards telling the truth. I'm also very good at adding and subtracting from out of your bank.

I want this job real bad because it would give me a good chance to learn more maths with adding and subtracting with decimals. I'm also very organised at working with others even with boys. So PICK ME!

PS: Just remember I did warn you and if you don’t well your making a big mistake.

Yours Sincerely,

Letter of reference ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My child vonne is a very trustworthy person she can be a very responsible person at times and she does really concentrate on her work. She can be trusted to be on time and to be available every day when needed.

I believe my daughter should be a bank teller because she can do very good at adding and subtracting Pts and pieces. She can also be trusted when told to do things. She has an awesome personality and she is never sassy.   

Hiring beanbags

WALT: persuade the reader to agree with our message.

Don’t you just hate it when you have to sit on the cold hard uncomfortable floor. Well then why don’t you try hiring one of our relaxing bean bags.

During class while others are sitting on the hard floor you’ll be able to hire a comfortable bean bag. At only 3pt don’t you think it’s a great deal? and for the whole day even! You’ll be able lean on them, sit on them,sleep on them. How better do you think it’s going to get?

These bean bags are filled with soft mushy polystyrene beans and covered in a leather and rubber like skin. If you don’t like the shape of it then you can mould it to your positioned choice. You have many choices on what to decide you want to do with these particular bean bags. This type gives you options about what you can do to them. Other types are made to stay in one particular spot which can sometimes be uncomfortable.

The bean bags come in two different colours. A blue one like the colour of the beautiful vast sky and a green lime colour that looks like the green grass and plants on this planet. These are the only two colours that we have but it’s entirely up to you choice which one you want to sit on.

At only 3pt to hire a bean bag don’t you think our deals great. Once you have hired a bean bag you’ll have to pay at the beginning of the day and then you can use the beanbag for the rest of the day.

Remember for 3pt you can sit at a beanbag during class all day.

Furniture made from Kauri trees

WALT: put ourselves into the text.

This week for reading we are learning about timber and Kauri trees. We had to read a story and we had to imagine ourselves in the story and we also had to imagine ourselves selling the item in our story which for me was a piece of Kauri furniture.
  
We had to make a poster that would tell people about Kauri trees and about making furniture in a sustainable way. We had to find free to use images that showed people what they look like and what kind of furniture it is and what the quality was also. From time to times we had group discussion's to talk about timber and why its so valuble to this country and thats because it is a native plant. Hope you enjoy
