Why is it to have class rules?

If there were no rules there will be there will be chaos and violence. People will be doing drugs, booze and stealing cash and be addicted to drugs. The school will be upside down and all the kids will start fights and start trouble. That’s why there’s rules at school so kids like us can get an education. Students who follow the rules might get a scholarship to go to University.

People will be graffiting around the school and smashing windows and being violent towards the teachers. Teachers will be hurting the children which is called child abuse. That’s what makes chaos and mayhem. Then the school will become an abandoned school.

There will be no more teachers no more students and more mayhem or chaos. The school would look gross with all the graffiti around the school and rubbish all over the grounds. Teachers will get locked up for child abuse.

But if there was no fighting there will be peace. If there were no swear words there will be no mayhem and chaos and other bad stuff like doing drugs and running away from school. The school will have justice and people will have faith in themselves. So thats why there’s rules at school so kids have a chance to go to University and get himself or herself a job. They might have kids that will follow in their footsteps.

Weekend.

In the weekend I went up on the mountain to see the nice view. Once my brother and his friends and I were finished seeing the view, we all came back down the hill. I was tired from walking up and down the mountain.

Then we went to the train station to go back to Glen Innes to go home. When my brother and I got home we made us a big feed because we were hungry.

Then my cousin asked me if I wanted to come to ice skating and I said yes. When we got ready, Mele’s mum who is my aunt, dropped us over to Analiz house. We went to pick her up then we went to Paradise Ice Skating.

When we got in it was cold inside we had to get some skates from the counter. When I started to skate I fell Then I started sliding on the floor my legs started to get numb from the ice on the ground.

Cross Country.

When cross country started, I was so nervous, I had butterflies in my stomach. Even after all those trainings I had, I was still shaking with fear. Finally the day had come for cross country.

Students at Pt England come in their house colors to race there are only 4 colors that Tainui, Takitimu, Matatua, Tearawa. Everyone sites in their rows up to year 1 to 8. First to starts off are the year 1 kids to year 8.

Finally it’s the year 7 and 8 turn to run. “READY, SET…. GO!” Mr Burt yells and we all start running as fast as we can. First comes Iisa and Lee, second Damien, 3rd Jordan. They were all running their best but I was so puffed and tired

I ran so fast like Usain Bolt. Lots and lots of mud went all over me. I just couldn't wait until was finish. We had to run all over the mud it was annoying and agitating because my feet was going in the mud.

“GO, GO, Hiwarau!” my friends yell, even my cool cousin Mele. She was cheering me on, that’s what made me happy when people cheer me to keep running.

When the race was over I was so tired but lucky I didn't wear my shoes or my shoes will get stuck in the mud. I was so exhausted that the race was over. And when I looked at the back of my pants the were soggy and muddy and wet.

Assembly

Today was assembly. In assembly Mrs Burt was talking about yesterday cross country. He was handing out certificates to people up to year 1 to 8 for the people who came 1st 2nd 3rd.

After that he was handing out Duffy certificates for people who got caught being good there was a bit of people on the stage whol got a Duffy award.

Then Miss Tito our Maori teacher told us to sing mihi mai ra. The whole school had to sing it all over again until we sang beautiful. Then we will stop singing.

Ban Plastic Bags.

Dear Prime Minister John Key,

I am writing this letter to to tell you that plastic bags should be banned.

People need plastic bags to help them carry their food and groceries. But I think people should pay to use plastic bags because it’s sad for the fish. People are throwing their plastic bags in the sea and ocean which is making the sea creatures get sick and die.

Plastic bags can harm little kids. Did you know that little kids copy other people? If they see someone do something bad,  little kids copy them.

That’s why it’s bad to have plastic bags near kids. Supermarkets make people buy plastic bags. 1 billion plastic bags are used in NZ every year.

Please ban plastic bags from NZ.

Yours sincerely

Hiwarau
