Week 2 reading create task 1 & reading create task 2 term 4 2026
Intro: Hello bloggers and in this blog it is all about social media and screen time. If you don’t know what social media is than good, stay that way because social media is really bad due to cyber bulling, predators, scams and doom scrolling. I will tell you it later.
WALT: Explain what a story is about and what lesson author is sharing, using clues from the book and things I already know to prove my ideas.
What I did pt 1: So if you don’t no what pt stands for it is basically part and since there will be 2 create task I will putting them into parts. okay so for my first create task I made a poster about banning kids from social media and the reasons. The reasons where like doom scrolling is addictive or like there could be cyber bulling.
Refection: Honestly it was pretty fun doing the poster and I would give it a 9/10 it was actually good.
What I did pt 2: So for this 2nd create task I made a comic strip. I basically put all the information of social media on why they are bad, oh and also I will tell you what all the bad things that kid can encounter. First is the cyber bully, unlike other bad encounters, all they really do is try to make you rage and mad or cry. Then the predator is people who target kids and try to get as much private info as possible and do any bad things to it, and the final thingy that I said is nothing to do with people, it has to do with the app it’s self. doom scrolling is a really bad habit and it changed people and made them really mad. In other words, it is really bad for people.
Reflection: Honestly it was not that bad and I would give it a 7.5/10, I think that they should make more create tasks like this.
My work:
Wrapping up: If you have any questions or anything in mind please let me know, bye!
reading week 2 term 4 🌶
WALT: explain what a story is about and what lesson the author is sharing, using clues from the book and things I already know to prove my ideas.
hi bloggers this week we have been learning about addictive algorithms, blue light from screens and loss of support and community, ect. my create task was created on paper with pens and pencils. I have made a comic strip but I couldn’t show you it because it was too hard to take a photo of but I can tell you what I wrote and what I drew. the first thing was about who the text was for and where it takes place, I wrote: the text is for kids, adults, parents, doctors and teachers and it takes place in New Zealand were kids in rural places were they are isolated from other people and kids frequently join support groups. frame 2 was about what I think the problem is A.K.A wever i think social media should be banned for under 16, here’s what I wrote: I think yes it should be banned for under 16 but there is a problem about that because isolated kids don’t have much contact to other kids so they might need to go on so that they can chat and have fun and on social media kid can also meet up with friend by sending a message to see if they can meet up so I think the smartest option is to use something that can time kids on their phone even though that might also cause problems like they run out of time and need to call but cant. frame 2 was about how I would solve this, I wrote this: the parents should put timers on their phones to restrict them and make sure they sleep properly and socialize with their friends. last but not least frame 4, here’s what I got: the report is about phones and how unhealthy they are for kids that are still developing a brain and how kids need 9-11 hours of sleep.
and that concludes my blog see ya next time bye.

Reading-Term 4-Week 2
hi my tuff lads.
WALT:explain what a story is about and what lesson the author is sharing,using clues from the book and things I already know to prove my ideas.
so the text we are reading this week for reading is “should the government ban kids on social media” which i strongly disagree on,apparently screens affect kids mental health and sleep and their learning because yr 5 and 6 students need 9-11 hours of sleep every night to have an healthy brain.
Doctors,parent and teachers think that they should set a time limit which I kinda agree on because its better to have a device for 1-5 hours a day than to have no device,80% of children use social media and most of them set their age as 13+ on social media which I think is very smart because my age is 47 on TikTok,Adults want kids to go outside and play but I think if kids want to play outside they can ONLY IF they want to,Adults also say that there are innapropriate things being shared on the internet which I agree so u have to manage their account.
my opinion on it is completely different because in the future over 90% of jobs require advanced technology skills so why not put your child on a device and they will be pros in the future and that is true in the future there is a lot of technology that will happen,and you can actually learn something from the internet like law by Mike,Zack d films and so much more that actually teach us stuff on the internet!There is also family issues so if you do and you have nothing to do you always have social media,you can talk to people and vent and sometimes social media can be your comfort because it distracts you from things that are happening in your life,you can also discover music and your favourite artists,entertaining videos on Youtube or TikTok and genuinely so much more you can figure out in the internet like tutorials and maybe even fashion trends or memes,and I feel like kids would be so much funnier with memes in their life because they could say it to a middle aged person and then they would have no idea what they are talking about
.
my first create task is this really cool comic strip and the things I had to mention in it was what the report is about and the main problem,how I would solve it and then the authors message which I had to finish the 2 sentence prompts.i have no idea where the bottom half went but I said “The way to solve the problem is to just see what your kids are seeing on the internet,social media can actually be helpful or if you need you can add time limits.” and “The report is about banning kids on social media and the main lesson the author is sharing about is why the government should ban i (which i don’t agree) i proved my idea using this clue from the book:Kids shouldn’t be banned because technology will help them in the future.”
REFLECTION:I really liked the task it was tuff
for my second create task I did this dear author letter and I wrote what the authors text was about and why I don’t agree with it and the solution and my advice instead of banning kids on social media and the reason why my advice works.
very tuff and very true

REFLECTION:I THINK I MADE A REALLY GOOD POINT ON THIS TASK
okay bye tuff lads I’ll see you guys next week dont forget to like and subscribe

BYYYYYE
T4 Wk2 Reading create task one

Hi bloggers today I’m gonna show you why social media is important to under 16s because if the government ban people under 16 don’t know how to prevent scams,manage passwords and believe everything they see on the internet including AI and stuff.
Reflection this task was really easy because I just needed to say some words and a green check through the social media apps I also made it with Canva anyways I’ll show my work Canva work
term 4 week 2 October 23rd 2026
WALT: Contribute to text discussions by building on other’s ideas and comparing different interpretations.
Hello bloggers we have been reading about this text called Should Governments Set a Minimum Age Limit For Social Media? The text was by our teachers. 1st page says In Aotearoa NZ and across the world, people right now are fiercely debating If children under sixteen should be legally banned from using social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snap chat and others. If governments pass strict age laws, so then children might spend outdoors, sleep better, and avoid digital harms. Recent health surveys show that over 80% of children aged 9-12 regularly use social media apps, however if lawmakers shut young people out of these platforms entirely. Health experts report year 5 and 6 students should be getting 9-11 hours of sleep because the blue light can affect them and make them wake up instantly. Social media networks use complex algorithms designed to keep users watching as long as possible to generate advertising profits. conversely many educators, youth advocates, and technology specialists argue about age bans and create new compilations without fixing the underlying safety issues. In NZ rural students and isolated young people find ways to use digital networks differently from scrolling, they find support groups, learn te reo Maori or connect with other people who share niche hobbies. Even if governments create strict age restriction laws, tech savvy children will easily bypass these restrictions. Furthermore, unless social media companies force every single user including adults to upload official identity documents or bio metric facial scans. International education reports estimate that over 90% of future jobs in NZ will require advanced computer skills. Protecting young people online is a very crucial goal, but imposing blanket age bans attempt to fix a modern problem. Governments enforce similar safety by design rules-requiring platforms to disable infinite scrolling, ban targeted by advertising.
1st create task I did was create a warning poster this create task was from last week because our normal create tasks for this week didn’t make sense to the text so we did create tasks previously. I enjoyed this create task because i could put some pictures and like putting pictures in my create task. 
Second create task we done was a task from the create task we had to do this one was comic strip so we had to put pictures about the text and type in what the picture’s meaning is to it and it said to do it about a setting in the story but our story never had a setting he was explaining if governments should ban people aged 9-12 should be banned from social media. I enjoyed this create task because it was a comic strip and I like comics but I don’t read them much. I did not learn anything but bye bloggers.
