Dear Mr Hendricks.

I was wondering if us seniors should be given the chance to organise the mini olympics for the senior part of the school.  The teachers should give us that responsibility as they have so many things to worry about.

The teachers don’t really know what sports we like to play.   I am sure you, yourself will not be keen to participate in a game you don’t really like playing.  If we will be in charge of this mini olympics, the students will surely have more fun and they will be happy to  take part.

Last but not least if you let us organize the mini olympics that would be great.  Did you know that the teachers always make decisions when it comes to most school events?   It is not fair, give us a chance to organise something because teachers sometimes let us do things we don't really like. We will pick the cool games that everyone would enjoy.

Come on, give us a chance!

Thank you

Teariki.

One day I woke up to the beautiful birds singing and then I did not know where I was. While I searched the place where I was then I look to my left there was Sione and on my right there was Sini my 2 best mates from school.

When we got together we made forts everywhere and we made spears knifes and plenty more items. After we finished all that we went out to go hunting for food Then we heard other people talking and walking.

Later we were following where we were then we came to a small village with food but we didn't have any money to spend so then we walked back and made a track to where we were going.

So that we know where to go and where to get shelter if our forts get busted. While we walked back we saw a big reindeer looking for food as well then I grabbed my bow and arrow and shot it.

Sini was saying " Shoot it i'm starving" I replied to him " Just wait I need to get a clear shot". After I shot it I sparked a fire sione went to get some more firewood and Sini was preparing the food for us to eat.    

My father painting the roof.

"Hey dad" I said to him impolitely "what are you doing"? He replied  when he walked up the ladder and then he looked down at the floor and he said " I'm going to fall off if I don't be careful.

After that he called out  my name but  mum said  " he's not here but what do you want" he replied " can you fetch me a bucket of paint in the shed the colour is purple my mum loved it.

 When I got home I saw my dad on the floor lying down with the purple paint on the furniture and I was calling for mum but mum wasn't to be seen anywhere so then I tried to help dad but he didn't budge.

Then mum came home with a handful of  shopping  I called out to mum  she ran to the lounge and said " What happened" I replied " When I walked into the lounge I saw him on the floor crying and hurt.


While mum was feeling his body to see if he was hurt  she said " He's hurt really bad " I said " what really hurts" she replied " No more chit chat go and get the landline Dial 111" I grabbed the phone and dialed what I was supposed to I could hear the Ambulance arriving with their loud sirens.



When we arrived at the Hospital I saw the nurse's running as fast as lightning then they opened the car door I was the first one to jump out the mum after her was dad. Dad was taken into the adult part of the hospital and then we weren't aloud to go where dad was going. After when we were waiting for dad ( It took 2 or 3 hours for them to do what ever that they were doing.  


Later on that night we were in the starship hospital and then mum took me to Ronald Mc donald house and ate pizza and mini pies plus milo for our drinks.

Narrative writing.

“Happy birthday to you” my mum was singing to me and then I woke up with a big smile on my face then my aunty woke up while we were singing to her as well because we have the same birthdays. When we all woke up my mum took us out  and gave us some money to spend while the our family was at home decorating the house.

When we were at the Auckland city we went to the movies and watched Transformers 4. When it was finished we went down to the game centre and I won two big teddy bears that has those three different coloured cords ( because we needed them to spy on thieves).

Later It was getting dark and we needed to go home While we were walking to the train station we saw my mum looking for us then we were calling her then she turned around and shouted “ COME OVER HERE THE CAR IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER” and the we replied back to her “ OK WE ARE JUST GETTING OUR BRAND NEW SHOES WE ORDERED”.

Later when we were getting our shoes I was so tired like I just wanted to get out of here and go home and sleep but then I remembered that my mum was throwing me a party. While we were going home my mum asked me if she can see my shoes and I said “ yes”.

When we arrived home we walked in we heard noises and while we were walking in everyone was shouting “ HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and thats when we were all having fun and we had heaps to eat to.

One day my family was talking about having a pet Owl. When I woke up everyone was having breakfast and a cup of milo with nutella toast, then I asked them " Where is my mum" They replied " Gone to  get a pair of shoes for you.

When I walked outside my mum was coming to me from the car with my new pair of shoes. Later after that happened we all drove to the pet store so as we were passing by all the shops we stopped at one and we bought ice blocks and a drink.

Next we arrived at the pet store and when I got out of the car we walked into the shop we saw all of these different kinds of animals running around having fun enjoying the breeze as they walked outside.

Later we went into the dog's section and looked at the dogs, they were all cute but I didn't want a pet dog so we kept on going to the next section and that was the fish's section but I didn't want a pet fish so we kept on walking to the cats section but once again I didn't want a pet cat.

 When we arrived at the last section I looked up and I saw birds in this big huge cage there were heaps of colourful birds,So the birds inspired me and when we walked into the huge cage this Owl just swooped up to me and landed right on my hand.


Lastly we went out with the bird that landed on me and was loving the bird so much that this is my pet Owl and when we walked back to the counter and the lady said to us " would you like to take the Owl" and I said to her " Yes please".

 Finally we went home and I was still happy and I was inspired by the wonderful colours on the Owl that I bought.Later we walked into the lounge and let the bird free, then I thought of something great and it was putting the owl on the skateboard and watching it ride off.

         
Last but not least the pet was a pain in the back side I just got board and it wasn't doing anything so I left it with my cousins and told them how to feed him and how to take care of the Owl that I bought. I told them what happened and they were very sad for the Owl and they took very good care of the bird.

The cutest puppies ever seen

The cutest puppies ever.

After a hard days work we were getting ready to go out. When we were getting ready I went to catch some air outside out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a little puppy that was just sitting down on the couch with it's cuddly toy. I ran back inside with the puppy and gave it to mum then she freaked out and asked me " Where did you get that adorable little puppy " Found him on our old couch that we threw out remember an hour ago" " Oh yes" she replied.

When I went to  show my Aunty  she loved him and when I told the story about it she was surprised to hear that a little puppy could stick to our old couch and she said " He must like our old rugged couch" I replied " I think so but mum doesn't want him to live here" " Well your mum is right.

After that I went to go and show my little sis and little bro and they loved him to  then I gathered everyone up and told them to meet me in the lounge and wait. While they were waiting I went out to our old couch and then I saw more cute, cuddly, fluffy and adorable puppies.

Later I was having trouble trying to grab them all  I yelled out to my Aunty and asked her if she could come and grab the rest of the puppies.She heard me she came out and grabbed six and she left me with only five.

Last but not least we walked up the stairs and said " Welcome to your knew home" mum said "OH ON" after  mum said her bit we all shouted out  " Yeah".


The next week the puppies were trouble they didn't listen they were making a mess they were pooping everywhere so mum wasn't impress and she said " Thats it we are taking them to new home's" we shouted " NO they are just little and they don't know how to take care of themselves".

Later when we were having a argument we all decide yes they should go so then we walked to the car and drove off. When we arrived at a house it was our family and we stayed there until it was 2 O,clock the next morning. After 2 O,clock we went to Carl's junior for breakfast and we sold the puppies away and they have new owners know.

When we arrived home with our unhappy faces we saw more puppies on our old couch but the mother dog was looking for her other set of puppies and she was trying to call out to them. So we went over to go and see how is she and she wasn't happy she was grilling up at us because she new that we were the ones who took them we are the blame.

But mum was the guilty one she was the one that wanted those puppies to go and we went out to go and get them back but the new owners said " No we are not giving them back" We replied back " Please we will give the mother dog instead" so they liked the Idea and we gave them the girl dog and she was happy the owners were happy "that's it mum said no more pets in this house" and we all replied back "yes"


A few weeks back my mum said to us " we should of left these
puppies out there and wait until the owners come and get them or the mother dog to come and take them home". "I'm  sorry mum it's my fault to bring them inside and I should of listen to your opinione.

Why did my mum told us what she had said it's because those little puppies were just pooping everywhere and peeing everywhere as well. When my mum told me to take them outside I was jumping with joy but at that time I saw the mother coming so I dropped the puppies on the couch and ran back inside like lightning for safety.

Hangi and jump rope for heart.

On Friday the hole of glen innes school walked to the glen innes centre and do jump rope for heart. While we were getting ready for the walk we were practicing our group routine and our class routine also. When we were finished the routines we had to get ready and start walking with the room two little kids just incase if an accident.

Next we arrived in the middle of the G.I. centre and we saw Mr Hendricks and some school kids were helping out with all the decorations and the speakers.When Mr Hendricks told us to take a seat so we did. After when he told us to sit we were waiting for our turn and we waited but the first class was room 1 then room 12 after them it was room 2 then room 11.

After the classes was finished with their items we were the second two last one. When Mr called our class to go up we were walking and got into our persion while getting ready for our song and it  was  scratched and we had to start all over.

Later when we were waiting for room 8 they were getting ready for the music as well but there song was scratched as well as ours was. When we were waiting for them to finish and we waited and waited but then I was saying in my head yes it’s over and we can go back to school and eat our lovely Hangi.

Last but not least we were waiting outside the hall again for about 5 minutes. Then we got called to go in and sit down and wait for another 5 minutes and the corner of my eye I saw Miss Lamase handing out the cans of coke and fanta and also some mountain dews.

The one thing that I like about the hangi was the chicken and the potato salad that was the best thing out of the hangi and if it was from the actual maori traditional it would of be more nicer and more food.

Body parts Comprehension.

1. The oxygen enters our lungs and is carried around to all the body’s cells by the circulatory system.

2. Did you know that your body has  every gas exchange program that runs 24 hours a day.

3. Gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the alveoli. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses through the walls of the alveoli and adjacent capillaries into the red blood cells. The oxygen is then carried by the blood to the body tissues.

4. Carbon dioxide travels out of your body when you exhale.

5. Your body has a special way of making sure that you can get the amount of oxygen that you need when you breath.

1. White blood cells also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune system. These cells help fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses, and germs that invade the body. White blood cells originate in the bone marrow, but circulate throughout the bloodstream.

2. Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries. The blood from the heart is carried through the body by a complex network of blood vessels . Arteries take blood away from the heart. The main artery is the aorta that branches into other major arteries, which take blood to different limbs and organs.

3. Gas Exchange across the Alveoli. In the human body, oxygen is used by cells of the body's tissues to produce ATP, while carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. The ratio of carbon dioxide production oxygen consumption is referred to as the respiratory quotient (RQ), which typically varies between 0.7 and 1.0.

4. The main idea is that all of our body parts are very important and we must look after them at all times.

5. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together.
