Should 12 Year Olds And Under Have A Mobile Phone.

Should 12 Year Olds And Under Have A Mobile Phone.

Most Kids 12 years old or younger have mobile phones these days. They spend most of the time on it but sometimes its for a great reason. Do you think kids 12 or younger have a phone?

First of all 12 year olds and under should have a phone for communication so just in case their lost and you need to call or text their mom or dad or if you need help with homework so they ask their friend for advice. Speaking about homework, phones also can be used to search about different strategies and find the answers to their questions. And a lot of kids have ones these days. Phones can locate where they are when you are lost.These phones can also help with education and school. You can call and

Text people and you can’t do that with a I pad or a Chromebook.

The other the thing why 12 year olds and under should have mobile phone is that the parents can find them if they are lost, if they keep their location On. A phone also has a button for light just encase they are lost at night pads, Chromebook and other devices don’t have that.  If they don’t have a watch they can just grab out their phone and tell the time so they are not

Late for a class or something. Phones are light and easy to carry unlike big devices. You can get apps for maths, spelling and other

Education stuff.

I think 12 years and under should have a mobile phone for

Safety reasons and education.

On the other hand mobile phones for 12 year olds and under should

Not have a phone because they can spend way too much time

On phones that they won’t even touch a pen or paper or a book.

They can also get apps that they aren't aloud for them. They

Can put their own private stuff online and not keep their digital

Footprint to themselves and not get any apps for education.

They text or call people that their parents don’t know or don’t know

That their kids are texting or calling people. Their kids can get cyber-bullied and get depressed, stressed and can lead to suicide. Phone radiation can be harmful to many users. Sir William Stewart , chairman of the NRPB, at a press at London says that he does not think that he does not think that we should put our hands and hearts  and say mobile phones are safe. The other thing why 12 year olds and under should not have mobile phones id because kids will stay in their rooms with their phone in their hands. They will not be able to interact with their friends and play outside. Sir William Stewart said that if there are risks  and we think that is they-there are-then the people who are going to be infected the most are children, and the younger the children are, the greater  the danger.Children would rather talk some are right next to other but still text as if they were 500 km away from each other. Mobile phones can break friendships because one has a phone and other one doesn't have a phone so they barely do anything together the one with a phone just sits on the couch and play minecraft all day. Kids under 12 can get brain radiation from mobile phones.

I think kids under 12 should not have a phone from what I have

Read from the internet,phones destroy friendships and gives

kids brain radiation. So kids under 12 should not have a mobile

phones.

For Writing we have been practicing to write an argument. We chose to do it on "should kids under 12 years old have a mobile phones" we had to do 2 paragraphs on "kids under 12 should have a phone" and then a summery then another 2 paragraphs on "kids under 12 should have a phone" but this time I was against I did another summery again. I learnt that in an argument you can't use a "I" until a summary. I also learnt that kids under 12 that have a phone can get a brain radiation (as said in my writing) I hope you learn something new and that you will be able to write an argument too.

Market Day

I could smell the sweet cotton candy as I walk past.

I could taste the sour blueberry sherbet as I pop it into my mouth.

I could hear the loud rain as it crashes to the ground with a loud splat.

I could feel the smooth soap I rubbed it against my fingers.

I could see colourful signs as I walk past them.

I could smell the strawberry lip balm as I open the lid.

I could taste the delicious chocolate as I put it into my mouth.

I could hear laughter in the crowd of kids.

I could I could hear the soft cotton candy in my hands.

 I could see people going crazy from the cotton candy and sherbet.

I could hear coins going ting, ting, ting in people's pockets.

I could feel the bumpy coins in my pocket as I get it from my pocket.

I could see the creative bookmarks besides our table.

I could feel the soft pillows on the table.

What a day!

Earthquake

                                  Earthquake 

A Earthquake a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.

Most earthquake deaths are caused by the collapse of structures and the construction practices play a tremendous role in the death toll of an earthquake. Although probably the most important, direct shaking effects are not the only hazard associated with earthquakes, other effects such as landslides, liquefaction, and tsunamis have also played important part in destruction produced by earthquakes.

The land would be in bad damage if the earthquake was big. The place would have

Tall buildings fallen down and houses collapsed to the ground.

When you are home a there's an earthquake you have to go under the nearest table and Hold onto a leg and go into a ball position and protect you head. When you are in the car you are driving pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. When you are at the beach you have to stop and go into a ball position and protect your head.

                                               

                                                    Facts

• Earthquakes involve the powerful movement of rocks in the Earth’s crust. The rapid release of energy creates seismic waves that travel through the earth.
• Scientists use the different speeds of seismic waves to locate the epicentre (the point on the surface directly above where the earthquake originated) of earthquakes.
• Seismometers are used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes. You are unlikely to feel a magnitude 3 earthquake but a magnitude 6 earthquake could potentially cause large damage.
• The damage caused by earthquakes also depends on their depth and fault type.
• The earthquake that hit the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011, had a magnitude of 9.0 and killed over 15000 people.
• The destruction caused by the Tohoku earthquake was made much worse by powerful tsunamis that were triggered due to the earthquake’s epicentre being located offshore.
• The 2004 earthquake that occurred in the Indian Ocean near Sumatra, Indonesia triggered a series of tsunamis that killed over 200000 people in 14 countries.
• The February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand followed nearly 6 months after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake shook the region. The earthquake killed 181 people and significantly damaged the central city. The economic damage caused by the earthquake and aftershocks is estimated to be around $15 billion (NZ$).
• An earthquake that hit Haiti in January 2010 with a magnitude of 7.0 killed over 200000 people according to Haitian sources.
• The most powerful earthquake ever recorded on Earth was in Valdivia, Chile. Occurring in 1960, it had a magnitude of 9.5.
• It is important in earthquake prone countries such as Japan to build houses and buildings that react well to earthquakes. Good engineering practises can help stop buildings collapsing under the stress of large earthquakes.

For Reading and Writing we had to make a doc about a disaster.

I did mine on Earthquakes.
