Twitter in schools – Petra

 I think that twitter is an amazing tool for schools, sometimes. I would say sort of. It’s a great way to share things with the public, or you can keep the account private. All you have to do is to switch the setting on public to private. My school uses twitter to post stuff that our school does like events. We also use our class twitter account for tweeting what we did in class today and what we are planning to do. We meet other schools sometimes on twitter. Twitter is a great tool for schools but it does come with responsibility.

War Poem – Petra

Everyone is trying their best,

Nothing good is coming out of this war,

I do not want to have the pain as my friend has had,

I do not want to be next,

I want to leave,

This is not a place I would ever want to get back to,

This will always be a scar to me no matter what happens,

I don’t want to remember,

But I guess I can’t decide.

Luv Ya Bunches by Lauren Myracle (Petra)

I know how it can be hard finding a book. Well this book is one of those funny books, so if you are looking for one of those funny, girly problem books you would probably like this book. There are four girls who are very different from each other. Their names are Katie-rose, Camilla, Yasman, and Violet. At first they don’t know each other but then they become really good friends. The four girls go on a school adventure together and they stick up for each other because that’s just how much they love each other. It sounds kind of like a cheesy book after what I have told you so far but it’s really not. If you get a chance to read it, it’s actually a great book. It’s the first book of the series. The first book is called Luv Ya Bunches by Lauren Myracle. That is the book I am telling you about. It’s a really good book. I hope that you give it a try.

Beowulf Story by Petra

Life without Beowulf

One day Petra went to class. Shirley took out a book. The class was super excited about our first class book Shirley was going to read to us.  She said the book we are going to read is named Hrothgar and the Monster Grendel. She started reading the book, Once there was a king named Hrothgar. There was a very terrible monster named Grendel. Hrothgar and Grendel were not friends, in fact they did not even like each other. They actually could not even stand each other. They went to battle one day because Hrothgar could not find a knight who was brave enough to fight Grendel. So he did himself. They went to battle and Grendel had won the fight. Sadly Hrothgar got killed. Grendel won and was happy that his enemy was gone. That was the end of the story. So really the story had no spark. Nothing really good happened. Beowulf makes the story have something for the reader to read about. The story would not be worth reading if there was no Beowulf.

“Power of We” by Petra

Blog Action Day

If one person wants to do something like build a house it will not be easy to do just with one person, but if more people help out it can make a big difference. People can accomplish so much if we do something together. There are things that we might be able to do with one person but there is nothing wrong with a little help. There is a lot we can do together to make something happen. Together we can make dreams come true.
