Our Blog



We are a year 5/6 (9-10 year olds) class from Bairds Mainfreight Primary School in Auckland, NZ.

You can see some of our learning that took place in Room 12 in 2010 and 2011.

NB: I have moved to a new school now so this blog is no longer active. You are still welcome to comment and look at the great fun we had over the past two years.

Thank you for all the lovely comments :)

the once-ler should be able to cut down the trees

We looked at this blog where the students wrote arguments about the Lorax. We are trying this out ourselves.

This is Mele's argument, she is arguing that the Oncler should be able to chop down trees. She is nearly finished it and is working on her conclusion

Have a read:

I really believe that that the once-ler SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CUT DOWN TREES.
This is because he is helping other people who need thneeds. When he cuts down the trees it helps makes the houses which provides shade and privacy and there is no law against it!


Firstly, I TRULY believe that the once-ler should be allowed to cut down the trees because
if he didn't then there wont be any thneeds for the people and they would get cold and very
sad. For an example if there was winter and the people had no clothes to wear they would get very very sick and may end up in the hospital!!!


Secondly people think that the trees provide shade and shelter. Well that is true BUT when we cut down the trees then we can make them into houses which provides shade and also provides privacy!!! My point is that if we all lived under the tree then it will provide shade but no privacy
and that would be very very embarrassing, and if it was raining it would actually go through the trees and make you wet and that is my point.


Finally I STRONGLY believe that the once-ler should be allowed to cut down the trees
because IT IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW! So since it is not against the law then that
means he is not doing anything wrong therefore he should be allowed to cut down the trees!!!







therefore i believe that the once-ler should be allowed to cut down the trees because
he is helping other people, he is helping to provide shade and privacy and
it is not against the law!
what if you had no money and had to look for a job and finally you found one but
people keep on criticizing you?
would you like that?
people are just trying to make money here! what is so bad about that?
