Soldier! Soldier!

 I agree that we should have soldiers in New Zealand and overseas because we need them to protect our people and others living in foreign countries.

More and more people in NZ are getting murdered .That's why we should have soldiers to protect our people and others that are in danger.

Dear Mr Singh

Can you please bring back the Swim Safe Program, I have learnt about what we need to do to survive. It's cool, fun and safe!

We need to learn more about swimming because it is important to know what to do when in trouble. I like swimming because we learn more and it goes into our brain.           


Yours Sincerely

Arcade games By Renata

Kia Ora my name is Renata Palmer, I am writing about my Arcade game. My Arcade game is called Zombie Hoods. I have two buddies that are working with me. They are James and Manaia. Materials used were: paper, cardboard, foil rolls, a box, vivid, fruit tray. We made a weapon, zombies and bombs from those materials.

I will tell you about the Zombies, there are small zombies and big zombies too. But watch out for Zombie Tom, he is very strong and has a robot arm that can blow you up. Zombie Tom also has a laser, that's why there is a strong as weapon that can destroy all zombies. It is called the R.M.J 2000.

Rubbish!

It is really special to have native bushes in New Zealand. Throwing rubbish in our bushes is not good because it kills the native trees, animals and insects. If there are a lot of plastic bags in the rivers and the ocean, they will kill fish and other sea life.

Road Safety

Road safety is a good thing, it teaches you how to cross the road safely. Car crashes are not a good thing because they can kill you. Red light means to stop. Orange light means to slow down. And green light means to go.

NZSL Week

Last week we celebrated New Zealand Sign Language Week. It is important to learn sign language so we can communicate with people that are deaf. In that week I learnt how to sign my name; my favourite sign is 'computer'. Alana came in to help us learn some more sign language, she taught us the abc's, names of animals and colours too. Alana played Ninga Bingo with the whole class. I really enjoyd playing Bingo, it was fun!.

Stop Littering!

It is important to not litter in our native bushes because rubbish ends up in rivers and the Pacific Ocean. Plastic is created by humans but is killing our native species and insects, that's why we have to stop littering. In the U.S.A people have been dumping their rubbish in rivers and the Pacific Ocean. In NZ many people leave their rubbish in native bushes. Native bushes are a taonga to maori people. We need to protect them so the kiwi, insects and native birds do not die.
