Year: 2025

Without a doubt I 100% disagree with the opinion that sharks should be eliminated. They are just hungry animals that want to eat food. Give them A chance the also need to be loved

It’s not their fault 

Possums did not come to New Zealand by themselves. They were brought here by New Zealanders and New Zealand benefited from the possums. Possums, misunderstood animals, were here only to benefit New Zealand and now that they have made a home here supporters want them to go back to Australia! Why get rid of them now?

We should give them a chance 

We could keep Possums in places where they will not hurt anyone. Possums have never met humans directly and if humans never excited forest would thrive including the animals that are being “harmed” by possums. They have made a home and they have kids.

There are some people who love them 

Some people think that possums are cute and would keep them as pets. Possums and they can. The people who love them could take care of them and make sure they are safe and won’t hurt anyone or anything.

In conclusion

I strongly believe that possums need another chance.  It is not their fault they are here is it?

Shalom 

I think possums should not be eliminated from New Zealand how about you?

Without a doubt I am disgusted that people believe we should have more time to play at school. I 100% disagree with such an unhuman statement. A statement like this must never be raised. Kids already spend enough time playing with  their friends at school and at home. When will they ever have time to learn so that they can get a good job and an amazing future? The more time we get to play the less time we spend learning!

Long breaks creates more playground issues 

During longer breaks there are bound to be more playground issues. Kids will obviously destroy playground equipment and most likely the entire playground. The more time you play outside the more likely you are to get hurt or even obtain a life threatening injury. Break times can also be a very lonely period for kids who are shy and don’t have friends. And have you thought about the kids whose friends are not at school must be so alone. 

We come to school to learn

The less we learn the more we damage our career and our future. Imagine waking up in the morning and you realize that you don’t have a job because you played so much at school and now you’re homeless. We come to school to learn not to socialize. Teachers are never really that  cruel, they will obviously give you a chance to talk to your friend when you’re doing group work. If we have longer breaks, our brains don’t remember what we were taught before the excessively long break time. In addition we will only think about the next break time instead of focusing. 

Teachers can see when a brain break is required

Teachers have eyes to see and ears to hear. They know when a brain break is needed and earned, not just wanted. And listening to music is way better than having longer and unnecessary breaks. Doesn’t everyone love listening to calming music while they work? Learning should be fun anyway. Working hard makes you feel like you have deserved a break. 

In conclusion

School is an important part of childhood and it must be spent learning knowledge to use in the world and not to spend time playing.

 MY NECKLACE 

 My necklace is the most beautiful thing anyone has laid eyes on.

The sparkling chain lights up the room like a star in the night sky.

The pendant dazzles, hanging from the chain as if it did not have a  care in the world.

The attractive beautiful jump rings surprise the eyes of the beholder.

Without a doubt it’s as majestic as a beautiful song

While the golden ball bounces higher than the biggest soccer ball on a pitch.

Even with all its majesty, the person who bought it is even more special.

Whenever I look at it a smile comes across my face 

My taonga.

This is my poem I hope you like it.

Introduction

I strongly agree with the argument that sharks should be eliminated from the planet. They are really terrible creatures that should vanish from the earth. If we eat them it could solve some of the world’s most serious problems.

They are heartless

Sharks are giant huge animals that have no heart or soul and who do not care about human life.  If you ever have seen the cartoons you know  all the cartoons are right, sharks eat and damage all sorts of things that is why they cannot be trusted. Not to mention the fact that sharks, unprovoked, have killed people. So why give them a chance? We should get rid of them before they destroy us.

They will take more lives (people and animals)

Sharks are really dangerous creatures. They are very evil too. Over the last 4 years there have been 35 unprovoked shark deaths. Sharks were made for killing with their sharp teeth and huge tail. They are more intimidating than lions. Advocates may say sharks are misunderstood fish who are just trying to live a normal life, WHEN THEY ARE NOT. Sharks have been perfecting the art of killing for the past 400 years so what’s stopping them now.

Killing sharks could end food poverty in the world.

There are way more people who need food than sharks. Killing sharks could end world hunger. One large shark can feed about 1000 people. We do not need sharks, we need lives. Imagine the amount of lives we could save and the amount we could eat if we just ate the sharks? Animals like dolphins could live longer and happier lives

Conclusion 

Without a doubt, I strongly believe that sharks, an endangerment to the human species , do not deserve to live with other creatures and should die a happy death.

In class I was learning how to write persuasive text’s I worked hard on it so I hope you like it.

Introdution 

I strongly agree with the argument that kids watch too much TV. You should see the lack of happy kids these days.

Studies have proven it 

There is plenty of evidence to back up my belief that kids, some of the amazing unhappy beings, are spending too much time watching TV. Youtube even created a youtube kids so that kids could spend even more time glued on a device. 64% of kids by the age of 11 have a TV inside their rooms. Not to mention the amount of kids with social media accounts. 

Too many empty playgrounds

At the high schools the grounds are sad and quiet. When have you ever seen a happy high schooler playing on a playground? Some kids just don’t enroll in real sports because they are too busy playing sports video games. Other kids skip school to play games. And parents are not doing enough to prevent this, they just give their kids a Xbox and they are not pushing kids to get outside and be healthy.

Unhealthyness and social issues 

To prove my point that kids watch way too much TV, have you ever wondered why kids use language like rizz or skipidi? It’s because of what they are watching on TV! Like they always say monkey see monkey do. There are more than enough kids who hide behind a video game to make themselves feel secure. Why? Because they want to fit in just like the girl they saw on instagram. TV, one of the most influential forms of entertainment to a child, is destroying lives. Because kids are watching so much TV, they won’t feel the need to make real friends.

In conclusion

I have the strong belief that kids are addicted to TV and it is the reason why most social, mentally, and emotional problems occur.

On the 26 of August 2025 Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce via an Instagram post. On the post she had sent the caption was “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” Travis Kelce is a super star player for the Kansas City Chiefs. And Taylor Swift is a popular 35 year old singer.

Tena koutou

This week we  learned some greetings in Maori. We learned…

Ke te pehea koe (how are you to one person) 

Ke te pehea korua  (how are you to two people)

Ke te pehea koutou (how are are you three people or more) 

I had a lot of fun making this slide. I got my classmates to send me their avatar.

Without a doubt I 100% agree with the argument that children should go to school on their birthdays. It is unreasonable to take children out of school just because it is their birthday. They could miss out on important events and for some kids school is just safer. Who doesn’t want their classmates to sing “Happy birthday” to them

Children may be safer /warmer/ fed at school 

In some households life is very tough. Kids in such homes where there is not a lot of food or the children’s parents may be working. Where will the children stay? Where will they go if there is no one to take care of them? School is a very safe place for kids in lower income families. Studies in New Zealand show that younger children attend school on their birthdays because there is no one to take care of them so if the kids are not at school where will they be?

To make sure you don’t miss important events 

School is a fun, creative place to be and there are a lot of activities and events that happen so if a student misses school on their birthday they could miss out on participating in those events. At schools where there are tests and exams, what happens if you stay at home and your classmates are doing tests? You will not get to write the test! An important practice may be held at school and you could miss out on that because you’re at home watching TV.

Some children love school and want to be there and hear “happy birthday” being sung  

Although they may be few, some kids love school. And kids who cannot go to school may be dying to hear their classmates sing “Happy birthday.”  Some kids also love doing school work so imagine taking that away from them. Other kids may want to spend their birthdays with their friends rather than their families so if they are not at school how are they going to do that?

In conclusion

Children should definitely go to school on their birthday because it is the undeniably responsible thing to do.
