What it takes be a good Pt Englander

Are you wondering a upon What it takes to be a good Pt Englander?
In this Explanation writing I will be explaining on how to be a good Pt Englander and what it takes to become one. Here I will write 4 different ways to be a good Pt Englander , Following Rules , Using your W.I.T.S , Attitude and Our Reputation.

In Pt England we use our W.I.T.S. ( W - Walk away , I - Ignore it , T - Talk about it , S - Seek help.) W.I.T.S is something that helps us Pt Englanders get a help of solution when something is about to happen. One way you can use your W.I.T.S is you can seek help and talk about it to an grown up or teacher and they can help solve your problem and everything will be fine.

In our school we have a way that is called “ The Pt England Way”
We have this way to show and tell all us kids that we are at school and got to remember that. For an example, by showing that you can always wear it with pride meaning to wear your uniform properly and not wear your jumpers and jackets around your neck.

One of the main things is our attitude/behavior. As being an Pt Englander you have to have a good attitude towards our teachers and others. By having an attitude a decent attitude is by always being kind and helping others, do those little things  new opportunities can come your way!

A Major thing in being a good student of Pt England is our Reputation of our school. In our school we care about our reputation also how it is treated and how we students represent it. By representing our school is by always having a good attitude out of school trips and walks etc, walking like a proud student and listening to all teachers with respect.

Unorganized Explanation Writing " Ways upon how to be a Good Daughter "

WALT: structure an explanation.

" Ways upon how to be a Good Daughter "

This writing will take place upon “Ways upon how to be a Good Daughter” In saying that this writing will show and explain upon how to be a good daughter to your parents!

A very big thing that shows and explains is your Body Language.Your body language really shows a lot even when your mad or happy it shows and most people can read it depending upon how you hold up yourself.Whenever you get asked to do something or get asked to go somewhere and your body language shows it all and your parents. However It makes them feel like there feeling something else coming from you, if you know the feeling then yeap that's the one. That's why you should always have a good attitude and body language to your parents!

Another way to be a good daughter is to talk nicely to your parents. By telling them how much you appreciate them, and answering back in a positive manner you are showing your parents how much they mean to you.When your parents ask you to do something it is important that you listen and respond in a timely and respectful manner. For example, when mum asks you to put away the laundry, you should immediately respond by saying, “yes mum” as you stand up and put the laundry away without a scowl on your face.

Another way to show that you are a good daughter is by your actions. By being helpful around the house you are showing your parents that you respect them. For example, when you keep your bed made and your room clean you are showing that you respect your living space. This also comes into play when you complete your chores without being asked. So, when you wake up in the morning or get home from school, immediately vacuum the house, put away the dishes and take out the rubbish. 

It is very important to always show kindness towards your parents. Although this can be difficult at times, it is important to show kindness to your parents because it shows that you respect them. For example, when you really want to go somewhere with your friends and your parents tell you that you have to stay home and look after your little siblings, it is important to remember that your parents have your best interests in mind. 

Anyone has the ability to be a good daughter. By showing kindness, listening to your parents, and being helpful you are showing your parents that you love and respect them. What else can you do in your life to be a good daughter?

After that we both deiced to draw 6 pizzas for the girls and split each pizzas into quarters meaning each pizza had 4 pieces each of quarters.It took us a bit of a while but each of girl of the 8 girls get 3/4 of the 6 pizzas! We didn't get a answer at the end but I thought it was the girls but my buddy didn't think but it was the girls that had a bigger pizza pieces than the boys leaving 1/8 bigger than the boys pieces they got!
