I am

I am

My family is like a forest.

My mum is the beautiful dazzling tree that sparkles like glitter when the sun shines.

My brother is the gamer that all he thinks about is games and plays them wherever he goes.

My dad is  The strong, slim, tall tree he is strong enough to protect my family from the danger near us.

I am the short tree like one of the seven dwarfs of Snow white and gives love to my family.

My hair is as gold as a lions mane and has brown in it like the mushy mud.

I am a Busy bee flying everywhere doing what I have been told to do.

My back is as bendy and stretchy as a rubber band.

I am as fast as a Cheetah hunting for its prey.

I am lazy like my cat sleeping on the couch.

I am as cheeky as a Monkey Sneakily walking around without anybody noticing.

I am as crazy as a monkey going bananas in a zoo.

I am as happy as my best friend when we laugh that it gets out of control.

My eyes are blue like the ocean glistening in the sun that I could dive into The water.

Why chewing gum should not be allowed at schools

Why chewing gum should not be allowed at schools

1. I think chewing gum should not be allowed at school because it will distract students from doing their work.

2. They also would put it under their desk, chairs, walls and any other places around the school and it will just attract ants and all different type of bugs and that's very disgusting.

3. Chewing gum will not stop students from talking while during class. Because they will still make chewing, Chomping noises.

4. Students could give other students gum to chew in class.

5. They also could blow bubbles with their gum which is very annoying for other students while they are trying to focus while doing their work.

6. Chewing gum is not a quiet exercise it is very noisy and some students eat gum with their mouths open.

7. There would be gum packets laying around the school which is not good for the environment.

8. It would make students go hyper and silly and off task in their work.

9. Someone that would pull it out of their mouth and put the gum back in their mouth which would make their fingers sticky.

10. Some Students could swallow the gum would get stuck in their heart which could cause surgery.

Memoir

Memoir

In 2009 I was a little three year old  I lived with my mum, dad, and my older brother. We lived in a bright yellow house In Dobson. It was so perfect nothing  could go wrong we all laughed smiled at each other we had lots of fun  I had my whole family until.

A couple months further on my mum and dad would start arguing more often. I didn't  understand what was going on they would yell at each other every second. They couldn't stop yelling and saying other stuff that me and my brother never knew.

Weeks and weeks later there was still a lot of drama going on but final something bad happened. My dad couldn't handle anymore of it so couldn't my mum and the both got divorced. So on my mum moved in to Greymouth and my dad still lived in our old house but not long he moved into a greenhouse. It was very hard for me and my brother but we got to see our dad and mum whenever we wanted to go it was so great but there was changes. Rough things happen even though my dad and my mum werent together anymore there was still more and more drama. Me and my brother were sick of it but that's how it went.

I have learnt that sad and rough memories will never ever fade away and they will be still remembered all the time. And life isn't fair you just gotta move on in life. But at least i've got my family that's the most important thing that I have. It is hard for me and my brother but we can get through it all and so can you.

I am Lucky to be a New Zealander becuase

I am Lucky to be a New Zealander Because

We have a fresh supply of food, water and fresh air but as many other countries the air is polluted and the water is to so it's hard for other people from many different countries to drink water and breathe. Many little children around the world starve and have to drink  dirty filthy water and could die any second or even right now. And many children have to climb on wooden ladders and go across zip lines without being secured on and some kids even don't go to school.

In New Zealand we don't have a lot of killing, shooting or a big war but many countries do. Such as Syria, America, Iraq   and many different countries. In syria a lot of families struggle to keep their children safe and other people because isis are planting bombs polluting the water and killing a lot of people and many families have lost their lives all around the world because of war.

Families don't have houses like us the have to make their house out of sticks, wood ,stone and other things that they can find. Families don't have blankets and they dont have a lot of clothes which it is hard for their families to keep them warm even some children get hypothermia from how freezing they are.  They can also get a disease and get really sick from the coldness.

In New Zealand you can go to school without paying a lot of money and get free milk and dental checks But as in other schools you can't. Parents have to pay a lot of money for their children to go school but most parents can't because they are poor. And kids don't get free milk or free dental checks like us it is really hard for them growing up and some children don't make it.

Don't just care about yourself care about others to think about what other children, People around the world  have to live with. Help people with struggle and be grateful on what you have. Families struggle to care for their children and protect them and to give them food  water, warm clothing, shelter but they try very hard to protect their family. I think every family should get fresh water, a supplies of food and warm clothing and a proper home I think that war is just horrible and cruel. I am proud and lucky to be a New Zealander and I am very thankful.

Portrait Poem

Portrait Poem

My hair is as curly as a bowl of swirly noodles

My brain is like technology thinking constantly

My blue eyeballs glisten and sparkle in the beautiful sun

My teeth are as sharp as a shark hunting for food

My ears are delicate as a piece of cardboard

My eyebrows are as thick and hairy as my dog's fur

My heart pounds like construction workers banging and smashing buildings

My Nostrils are as dark as a piece of coal

My throat is like a  slide that food and water travel down

I speak polite words and I try to help all my friends and my family no matter what

I like everyone to be nice and kind to one another no matter how angry or sad they are

Speech Frogs

Corroboree Frogs
Corroboree Frogs are Australia's most iconic amphibian. An amphibian is a cold-blooded vertebrate, which basically means a cold-blooded animal with no bones. Corroboree Frogs are the most beautiful species of frog in the world. There are two types of corroboree frogs and they grow between 2.5 and 3 centimeters (maybe show the size with your hands) Corroboree Frogs have yellow and black stripes on their back. On their tummy its smooth like silk, their back is rough like sandpaper. and they Age until  breeding recreates. Females are larger in size than males. they also eat small ants. Corroboree Frogs only live in 1 state which is New South Wales in Australia.

The corroboree frog is amazing but nearly extinct. extinct means there are none of that species left in the world. I think how to save the corroboree frogs is to teach people that their endangered and to raise money to help save Corroboree frogs. Corroboree Frogs are very smiley. How i would  save the corroboree frogs is going to Australia, get a big cage, put some gloves on, search for them and bring them to class.

I chose to write a speech about corroboree frogs. Because I wanted to learn more about this type of Breed.
