Have you made a time capsule before?

Dear people of the future,

My name is Lasike and I have made this letter to describe what school is like in my days.

 School was a place where you could make friends and some enemies. At school we use Chromebooks, if you don't know what that is, it’s a laptop but smaller. We use Chromebooks to publish what we have been learning. We have summer clothes and winter clothes. We have to wear a uniform. The only time we can wear anything we like is on mufti days. We use wooden tables with iron legs. We also sit on plastic chairs. Before I was born, school was a bit scary. They weren't allowed to talk, if students talked, they get a hit with a long stick. But now our Teachers are much nicer than before. There were bullies but we never worried about it because they have to face the consequences of their actions. We start Primary when we are five. We use pencils to write on paper. If our pencils break, we sharpen it with a sharpener. We use cars for transportation to school but sometimes we walk to school as well. We use whiteboard markers to write on the whiteboard. School can be  a bit scary at first because your parents will leave you with people that you don't know. However, you soon learn that they are people that will help you to get a good education. We use an overhead projector so we can connect our little laptop to the big whiteboard for everyone to see. We are not allowed to play contact sports like Rugby and Karate because it is not safe. We have morning tea at 10:45 and lunch at 12:45. We do tests on our Chromebooks, but sometimes we do them on paper. People who live close to school often walk to school. We use a ruler to make sure our work is neat and tidy. Good luck, I hope you are learning as much as I am.

WALT develop critical thinking skills.

I know I can do this when I make a letter to the people of the future.
