My empathy explanation

Intro:

Imagine the world without empathy. It would be a terrible and a horrible place to live in. People would always fight and horrifying wars across the country.

How you can show empathy:

Be nice to other people

Show respect to visitors

Be kind to people when they are sad

Don’t fight

Don’t be rude

Put yourselves in somebody else’s shoes

Be kind to the homeless people

Show manners

Be kind to visitors

Why it is important to show empathy:

There would be no fights and arguments.

There would be people being nice.

People being respectful to visitors.

Empathy is showing respect for other people. For example if there was a homeless person on the street would you help them would you give food and fresh water and money to them. If people just ignore them then that means they are being rude and disrespectful with no hearts it is always nice to give something to them to make their day.

Another way to show empathy is to be kind to people when they are sad. For example when a child is crying and if they are lost or something. You should help them find their mom and dad or who ever's looking for them so they feel less scared.

Cheering for people is another thing. If someone is in a race and they know that they are coming last, and they feel bad about themselves . you should cheer for them and tell the people near you to do the same so the person that’s in the race wouldn't feel so bad about themselves .

Empathy is a heart touching way for people to stop fights and arguments. People stopped being rude to visitors since empathy came out.

Diver balance

Diving

Jumping

Falling

Platform           

Springboard

Acrobatics

Internationally

For a diver to be balanced they need to know what position they are going to be in. Especially their feet it has to be on the edge of the diving-board, when they are going to dive they have to be in a angle position that is pointing straight down.

Thats when they have to really concentrate and have a sharp focus. Then they jumped off the diving board when they are almost in between the pool and diving board thats when they put the arms together like a seal and get back up in the water without touching the bottom.

They do a lot of tricks when they are in the water but the difficult part about it is that they are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool or else they will be disqualified in a competition. A diver should enter the water straight without any angle, their feet balanced against the diving board, and they focused and concentrated very well.

All of their movements were cool before entering the water as they landed in the water with a minimal splash, controlling their bodies while they jumped of the diving board also they were all balancing of the edge of the diving board.

Cold day walking to school

On a freezing frosty morning I was walking to school. I was so cold that most of my body was numb. My stomach was rumbling because I didn’t have time for breakfast.

My whole body was shaking. “ It is so cold” I thought to myself I could barely stand. “It is so foggy I could barely see a thing” I said to myself.

My hands were icy cold and my teeth were chattering. My hair was flapping everywhere and also my clothes. “I’m so late for school” I said to myself.

It was so windy that the wind was just about to push me over. The grass and the concrete was getting really icy and slippery.

It was so slippery and icy that I was slipping everywhere. I saw everyone in their cars dropping their kids off to school.

Just up the road I saw my school I was walking fast to school. “I’m finally at school” I said to myself.

Weekly quiz about wetas

The thing I want to write about in my quiz is the weekly quiz visual question 1 about the weta I want to write about the weta because we get them falling from every light in our house.

Because we live near a forest and those wetas on the picture are probably called tree wetas they are up to 40 mm long and they live in trees and underground. The males has much larger jaws then the females.The wetas including the females will hiss and bite when threatened. Some people keep them as pets. They live in New Zealand.

You know which one is the female when they are long and heavy. Every weta can't even jump because it's too heavy, they only jump a little when they are scared. Wetas are humongous.

1 fell through my bedroom light. I was sleeping then all of a sudden I heard something fall. I quickly got up and turned on the lights then when I was looking for it, that weta was on me it was a female one I was screaming.

Show not tell settings

The Pt England way

                         The Pt England way

How the Pt England way came

The Pt England way came out because people wasn’t using them. People kept on getting beaten up and lots of little kids kept on getting bullied and the big kids couldn't help picking on the little kids.

Paragraphs

The Pt England way is to be kind to others if people keep on bullying little kids and if the little kids cry and tell the teachers then you will get into trouble so that is why you should be kind so you won’t have to get to trouble.

The other Pt England way is to put stuff where they belong if you grab a ball or something from the sports shed and if the bell rings to go back to class then put the things back where you got it from.

Another one is to listen to the teachers if a teacher ask you to do something then you should do it straight away. Another Pt England way is Puro to potai it means to wear your hat at morning tea and at lunch time.

Another Pt England way is to show respect to little kids if little kids are new to that school then the big kids should show them around the school. Another Pt England way is don’t fight if a person is angry at another person then they should try not to fight them.

Another one is don’t bully other little kids if the little kids are walking around the school then the big kids shouldn't push them and call them names. Another Pt England way is to listen to the teachers if a teacher tells you to do something then you should never walk away while a teacher tells you to do it

Another one is don’t get smart to teachers if a teacher tells you to do something then you should never answer them back. One more Pt England way is to never bully people if someone is on the monkey bars then people should never kick them or anything.
