Communication

 Communication is used everyday. There are many ways to communicate like Aboriginal language, texting by a phone, talking and much more.

 Aboriginal language is called Wajarri. There are more than 250 languages in Wajarri. Now we use about 100. Aboriginals have many different symbols. The Wajarri language use pairs of letters example rn, ny, rl and so on. Aboriginal language has come a long way.

 Talking is another way of communication. Talking was invented by a special person named God. It is very easy to do all you do is open your mouth and speak. You can talk also using sign language for people than can not talk. Talking is used all over the world. Many different people use it. People talk to send messages out to people.

 Texting by a phone is another way to communicate, a phone was invented in 1876. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. A telephone and a mobile phone is where you can hear a voice from a long distance. You can also keep in contact within 24 hours. Texting is where you can send a message to someone by typing on your phone. Phones and telephones are a great way to communicate.

 Communicate has changed over the years. It has gone to plastic phone and now to Iphone, Ipods, Ipads and a a lot more technology.

Voice of Youth Speech. Have you heard anything about who asylum seekers are and why they come to Australia? Well today I Kirra Antonelli is going to talk to you about who asylum seekers are and why they come to Australia. Most asylum seekers come to Australia searching for a better life for themselves and their family. Some of the reasons why they escape to Australia is because, in their countries they have such poor living standards. Most live in refugee camps with hardly any food or clean water, there is fighting within their country and with other countries, political issues and natural disasters. These refugees come from such countries as Afghanistan, Sudan, Pakistan and Indonesia. The refugees stay in a place called Detention centres. The detention centre is very similar to a prison, there is Sydney in the suburb of Villawood, not far from Parramatta, but the main one is on Christmas Island which off the coast of Western Australia. Once detained they must stay in there centres until your case is heard by a court and the government judges whether they have a good enough reason to escape their country. If this granted they will receive a protection visa and allowed to stay in Australia but if the court says no they will be sent back home to their country. Most refugees come by boat or air, which is illegal and against our laws. Some come by plane and just do not return to there country and some come by a small boat which is very dangerous. Australia currently has around 20,000 refugees per year, this is very costly to our government. This issue divides the nation, we have half the population saying we should be helping the refugees by giving them a better way of life here in Australia, a chance to get a job, have a safe home and give their children an education. The other of the population says the money that was wasted on the refugees should be spent on our fellow Australians by putting that money in hospitals, schools, better roads and looking after our elderly. Which side would you be on? <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Thank you for listening to my speech. Hope you have learnt something about Asylum Seekers today. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;"> By Kirra Antonelli

<span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">That all children should receive $20 pocket money every week, regardless of behavior or attitude!!

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">I believe children should not recieve $20 a week. why should they recieve $20 to bad behaviour or attiude.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">If get $20 a week for bad behavior, they will not change there behavior. People should be rewarded for good behavior not bad. This would waste your money if you give money for bad behavior.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">If children receive $20 a week, your family wont have money. If your family doesn't have money, you wont have money to buy food or pay your bills. If you have half your money wasted on children, your children wouldn't be able to play sports or do activities.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">$20 wasted on children, looks like parents have to work more. Parents would have to work more hours to get more money. If parents work more they will come home tired and angry. Parents will come home and wouldnt want to make dinner for you.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">I hope i have convinced you yet that children should not receive $20 a week. Well i hope you choose the right side.

<span style="color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">I think year 6 should have a sleepover at school for the end of year celebration. We have many choices but this one is the favorite choice.

If year 6 students have a sleepover at school for there farewell because it wont cost as much. Parents wont have to pay for travel. They would only have to pay for food for there child. There would be no buses to pay for on taking your child to school.

The students don’t have to everything in a group. They don’t have to sit on the floor and listen to teachers. They can be with people that they don’t really talk to. Play different games with different people.

There would be less stress for everyone. Students wont have to find things they know where they are. They can not get lost cause it is there school. Teachers wont have to count every 5 minutes to see if someone has gone missing.

So that is why I think we should have a sleepover at school. I think all the students would have a great time on their last day at school. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 140%;">
