My business plan.

W.A.L.T come up with a viable business plan. Coming up with a business plan taught me what to do before you create a business and that's why it's called a business plan. So enjoy my business plan I have done.

Drink water or else...

W.A.L.T ; in compound sentences as the conjunction and also use : to introduce a list.


At Tautoro School we are doing the Water Challenge. The challenge is to switch our sugary drinks to water for 30 days! Why would anyone want to drink water for 30 days? Well, I am going to explain why sugary drinks are harmful to our health.


One reason why sugary and diet drinks are so dangerous is there are the hidden dangers of acid that are in sugary drinks. By drinking sugary drinks it can cause tooth decay. How does the acid in drinks cause tooth decay? Well, we know for a fact that sugary drinks are acidic but the manufacturers don’t put how much acid are in the drink. And also it can cause an erosion (which means that the acid can pretty much destroy your teeth) by just drinking a sugary drink a day and by the time your older you will have rotted,decayed and destroyed teeth  And drinking sugary drinks will be one of the biggest mistake of your life ; also there is this scale called the pH scale. Now the pH scale is used for seeing how much acid are in sugary drinks. It will be really useful to use if you want to know how much acid is in a particular drink.


Secondly, sugary & diet drinks can or may lead you to become overweight or in other words obese. How? Well by drinking a sugary drink(such as coke or sprite) a day can cause you to gain 6.5kgs in a year. Plus, by drinking a sugary drink a day can also put you at greater risk of things such as: heart disease, kidney disease,type 2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers. It can also lead to an early death.


Lastly why sugary drinks are harmful to our health is that they are high in calories. But water doesn't have any calories in it ; water is neutral. And sugary drinks aren't natural. For a fact, the amount of calories a kid should have per day is 1,600 to 2,200. So the more sugary drinks you drink the more calories you will absorb.
In summary sugary drinks are bad for our health because: there are hidden dangers of acid in drinks, it can cause you to become overweight/obese and they are high in calories. I have explained pretty much everything about why sugary drinks are harmful to our health.

My amazing science experiment!

WALT ask questions, find evidence, and carry out  investigations to develop simple explanations.
 I learnt a lot of things doing this experiment. The things I learnt things such as:acid can erode/break down stuff,  how quick the acid can erode stuff and learning what hypothesis means. The digital tool I used to create this DLO is picktochart and picktochart is a usfel tool to use to show what you have learnt. anyway enjoy my science experiment.

Sports vs Music. Who Will Win?

I’m learning to use a variety of sentence types for effect.  
  • Simple,compound,complex
  • Commas for phrases
  • Commas for additional information
  • Short punchy sentences for impact
  • Using colons and semicolons
The things I think I'm good at are using simple,compound and complex and Commas for additional info (Next time I will add more)
I believe that that sports is way more important than music and for starters sports is way more important than music. Like why would music be way more important than sports anyway. Music is way off than being more important than sports And I’m going to give you all my reasons on why sports is way more important than music. So let's dive right into it.


My first reason why sports is important is that it can transform you into a fit and healthy person. And how does sports make you fit and healthy? Well by playing sports you are already becoming fit and healthy while you play. You won’t be like a slob, couch potato or a no gooder and also you will not be saying ugh I’m too lazy so I wont play any sports. You will be the opposite. You will be saying I love sports And I will play. You will be out there playing sports getting fit and healthy. But if you don’t play sports and just sit around all day doing nothing you have already transformed into a slob and I know you don't’ want that. And for a fact most people prefer to be a slob and be lazy. That's just atrocious. Those kind of people need to get of their lazy butt and play sports. You will also have that adrenaline,a chemical reaction That makes you feel good, pumping through your body as you play sports. Isn’t that spectacular? Also sports,such as basketball and rugby, is really fun and exciting. And that’s my first reason why sports is important.


Another reason why sports is important than music is that you will meet other people and socialize with them. You can play in inter-school comps and even socialize with some more people. And added to this when you become older you can play in the Olympics or the Commonwealth games and socialize with even more people. Now that is just wicked. And also you will have heaps and heaps of friends to hangout with. That is another reason why sports is way more important than music.


The final reason why sports is way more important than music is that you you will develop self discipline. And how do you develop self discipline? It’s very simple. It’s by playing sports. By not giving up. By coming back stronger. You will listen to your coach and have all of the skills to play sports. You will not to have a hissy fit when you loose. You won’t be saying I give up. You will be saying I will not give up and I will come back stronger. It is because you will have developed self discipline in yourself or in other words you will persist. You will keep on striving for that win Isn’t that what you want? And that is my last reason on why sports is way more important than music.

In summary why I believe that sports is way more important than music is that you will become fit, healthy, also you can socialize with other people and you will develop self discipline. And as I have said at the beginning sports is way more important than music.
