We recently did a test about what copyright is and how to use it. Mrs.C asked us to write down what we think students should know about copyright law.
here’s what I think:
I think copyright is an important law, from my understanding it protects thr right of artists writing stories, writing and singing songs, drawing pictures, taking photo’s and more. Some of these people choose to share their work with the public, but some put copyrigt on their work so that the public can not use it unless they put the information in diferent words and give credit to the person who did the hard work.
I think all students should learn about this if it applies to them otherwise whats the point?

Adventure 1 : The Swing
after the chores where finished Leola gave everyone the signal to meet outside the house on the mantel shelf at midnight. Leola had 10 brotheres and sisters they would all be there exept little Georgio who could’nt walk or talk at would be fast asleep at midnight. There where 4 bedrooms in the cozy little house inside the wall of a rather large house owned by Mr and Mrs Sphinx. They had 2 sons and a daughter.
Leola slept in bedroom 3 and at 5 minutes to midnight she had everyone up and ready. they went out onto the mantel shelf and waited for the rest. Sylvia, Mokasha and Seamus where also in bedroom 3. A minute later Romlo and the two little twins arrived, Henry and Hazel, they where from bedroom 1. “So what are we out here for? Another rade of the cookie jar?” asked Romolo quietly. Leola leaned close and whispered ” I have been wanting to swing on that stainglass light shade ever since we moved from behind that bookshelf”. Romolo looked shocked but excited. After an annoyingly long time of wainting on the mantel shelf in their dressing gowns bedroom 2 turned up, Rifkin, Alfio and Pippa. For a minute they all sat enjoying the veiw of the kitchen. Then Leola started to explain. Everone was excited about the idea and they all started to climb to the top of the mantel shelf. When they reached the top they all started to climb one by one along the spiderwebs to the beautiful stainglass light shade.
Alfio and Seamus climbed to the top where the cord met the roof. They started swinging it they climbed back down and keep it swinging whith the others on the shade. It was amazing fun and they all held onto the cord so as not to fall off.
Each time they swung it it stopped closer and closer to the clock. Mokasha tried to point out the fact that they might hit the clock but no one was listening. abou 10 minutes later the light shade just hit the glass on the old grandfather clock with a “tink”. “Everyone listen, we have to jump back onto the spiderwebs when we swing close to them ok? One two three”. Rifkin often had very fourtunate lifesaving ideas like this. Luckily they all jumped onto the spiderwebs and quickly ran back up to the top of the mantel so that the spiderwebs wouldnt snap with thr weight of them all. They got back to the mantel just in time to see the light shade smash against the grandfather clock! It was all broken, the light shade, the light buld and the glass on the grandfather clock. The kitchen was a mess of broken glass! ” them humans’ll realize” said Hazel as if she was letting us in on an amazing fact. “Your not wrong Hazel ” said Romolo encouragingly. ”Ofcourse I’m not wrong” she replied indignantly. ” I know… I’ve got it” shouted Alfio and immediately clambered down the mantel onto the bench then into the cupboard. A while later he strugled down with a tin of sardines. “come on down everyone” he said now on the floor. They all went dow a nd when they got ther he asked them to help him open the tin. He then went over to the door climbed up it and poened it. A minute later there was a loud “MEOW” it was Tiddles the family cat. Tiddles was black and white with great big luminous yellow, green eyes. She started on the sardines hungrily. Alfio then went over and shut the door. “come on everyone it’s off to bed for us!!!”
Alfio’s plan worked: Tiddle got the blame. She was punished surverly. The humans got a new light shade that was almost as pretty and The Little people escaped from being dicovered yet again.
