Why I think Kapa Haka is good for us

 Why I think Kapa Haka is good for us

In my opinion I think kapa haka is good for us and for our health and wellbeing.

Firstly, I believe Kapa Haka is good for us because it teaches us about the Maori culture, Waiatas (songs) and different Hakas that are of great importance to the Maori culture. 

It’s important to always show respect by participating in the Waiatas/Hakas.

Secondly, I think Kapa Haka is good for us because you can learn new words/phases and what they represent in the Maori culture.

Thirdly, the fun thing about Kapa Haka is you don’t need to have a good singing voice as all the singing voices blend together to become one.  Kapa Haka mentally is good for your mind, body and spirit.

Being a part of Kapa Haka means you are with a group of people with a shared interest of wanting to express fun and joyful energy in a welcoming environment.

Reading Week 4 Term 3 Lockdown work

This week we were talking about if video games should be allowed at school.

I think video games should be allowed at school because some games teach 

you different reading, writing and math's skills. But that's my opinion.

What do you think? 

Should we have video games at school?

Why I believe sports is better than music

 Why I believe sports is better than music.

In my opinion I think both music and sports is good for our brains and health but, I do believe that sports is way better for our health, Brains and our body

Firstly, Sports are really good for our health.

It gives you a clear healthy mid set. Sports are also great for stress and depression.

Secondly, Sports is better than music because, sports are good for our body and our bones.

Sports keeps you fit and healthy. It's also great exercise for your muscles and it's generally good for your body to get exercise anyway.

Thirdly, Sports keeps your blood pumping and it keeps you healthy and energized.

Lastly, Sports is good for your brain. 

Sports can make you happy or your brain happy. It's also good for our brain because it has a better chance of filtering out noise and static. Sports can help you get your mind off something.

These are just my opinions on why I think sports is better than music. 

Obviously, other people have different opinions but, These are just mine.

Dear Mr Tetzlaff,

I am writing to inform you about an issue with the senior school bathrooms.

Hopefully this letter will help improve this issue. I believe that the senior school bathrooms need to be cleaned or renewed.

We need clean and tidier bathrooms, The toilets are smelly and old, and the students need more privacy because, on the odd occasion you get people looking through the windows in the bathrooms.

The sink taps also really need to be replaced, About almost every time you push down the tap, hardly any water comes out. We need new taps so we can actually wash our hands properly.

The locks on the bathroom doors also really need to be changed at this point it could become a hazard. 

The locks are constantly getting jammed. A child could get locked in one of the bathroom stalls. So they need to be changed.

Obviously, The toilets and taps still work but, It would be amazing if someone did something about this situation. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Kind Regards,

Eden

Talking Tania

 Talking Tania

Hello Dear Friend! Please don’t read this book! Yes you! I’m talking to you! I ask a million times please! Don’t read this book!
Thank you :)
------------------------------------------------------------
Finally at last after 2 flights, 1 horse ride, 3 taxis and an hour walk they were here!
Tania and her family were on the biggest ship in the whole world! 
It had water slides as big as the sky tower,
Lemonade as fresh as a bloomed blossom and food as yummy as can be.
It was Tania’s first day at the ship and of course she was already causing trouble.
Now you may be wondering, What could someone with a CRAZY talking addiction possibly do? Well… It's only been 15 minutes and she's only bursted 10 peoples ear drums, Which her record is normally 40 so it's not that bad. Anyway you must be thinking, It can’t get any worse...Right?
*pause* Your completely wrong
An hour goes by and Tania has now bursted 35 people's eardrums and somehow managed to push a middle aged lady off the boat! 
How did she manage to push a middle aged lady off the boat? Well lucky for you I’m about to tell you. 
*REWIND* 
‘’ Did you know that!...’’ says Tania
‘’Ummm’’ says the confused lady
Tania walks up to the lady as she talking which forces the the lady to walk backwards
‘’Ummm please stop...You're going to push me off the-’’ But before Tania knew it she had completely pushed the lady off the boat!
*SPLASH*
As the lady was yelling at Tania, Tania was standing there talking to the imaginary friend she made at the age of four! Not to mention she's now twelve years old.
Anyway Tania slowly starts walking back to her cabin on the ship. But, as she walks past one of the chefs on her way she notices that there is a big glass statue in the lounge area on the ship, She walks up to it and suddenly she hears a voice…
‘’Her! That's the girl that pushed me off the ship!’’
Tania spins around and surprisingly standing next to the lady was the captain of the ship! 
Taina tries to run but as she's about to escape the captain she runs right into the statue!
*CRASH* 
Everyone stops, mouths open wide staring at the girl 
‘’Oh, and you’ll be paying for that or you’ll be carving out a new one!’’ Smirks the captain 
Obviously Tania couldn’t afford to buy a new one so instead she had to carve a new one, exactly the same as the old one.
So there you have it my friend! This book was written in 1964 and legend has it she’s still carving the statue today!
