Being Sober Not Drunk!

Alcohol causes people to hallucinate and their eyes will slowly start to close then soon enough they will be sleeping. Men can have about 5 cups of alcohol in 2 hours and Women have about 4 or more, but this is only for people who love to drink.

When people have too a lot to drink they act silly and do stupid things. E.g Jade starts to swear and scream at people passing by her, because she had 2 whole boxes of beer.

Your body can shut down easily from drinking too much alcohol. E.g James went to a party and drank alcohol all night non - stop. Then in the morning he doesn't wake up. Fact - the first symptom is a lot of vomiting.

There are a lot of bad consequences when you drink. E.g William is very very drunk but still wants to drive. So he decides to drive then later in the night he crashes and dies. Fact - drunk people don’t realise what they are doing when they are drunk.

The people that buy from the liquor store sometimes have fake identifications. They can use other peoples names and lie about things just so they can have alcohol. They waste time drinking when they could be spending time with their family. This is why I think alcohol should be illegal in New Zealand.

Lorenz Netball Team Vacation



On the 21st of September my Best Friend Faith and I went to Rainbow’s End. We also went with our netball team Lorenz. We couldn't wait to get into Rainbow’s End because we knew we would have a wonderful day there. We went onto the pirate ship first.


When it was at its highest we put our arms up then started laughing because of the butterflies in our tummy. The next thing we went on was the Motion Master. When we sat on the chairs and put on our glasses we started to laugh a little again. As soon as the short movie started, Faith and I started to laugh loudly because when the chairs started moving it was shaking. When the movie had finished we returned the glasses then left the big room.


Then we all ran fast to the Gold Rush. The line was starting from outside the door. Even though the line was very long we all stood there because we knew the line was only going to get longer. My partner was obviously Faith, so we sat at the front while Natasha and Lorean sat at the back. When it went up high we screamed and when it went down low we laughed. When we got to the end of the ride we waited for our coaches ( Sylvia and Waimirirangi) to come back from their ride. Then we went to the Invader.

I couldn't wait because this is my favourite ride. When we all got on we started to talking when suddenly the ride started to move. We got so excited we started to scream a little bit even though we weren’t up high. Then our ‘little’ laughs turned into huge screams. When it went up high we yelled put “LORENZ NETBALL TEAM FOR LIFE!” When the ride ended I went back into the line with Mana and Lorean. Then I saw Faith on the Power Surge with the other girls.

They were all begging me to go on but I refused because I knew that I will get a very sore Stomach. But they begged me so much that I decided to go on. I started to scream my lungs out because all we were doing was going upside down and it felt like we were going to fall out of the chairs. The girls laughed and talked and even played hand games and I dare you. I sat there screaming. when we got off I asked them how they can even go on that without screaming then they said “It’s easy because we go on it all the time. This is only your first time”

Then they laughed and they went on again but without me. We walked across the road to the mall to have McDonald's. We all had a Triple Cheeseburger with medium fries. As soon as we had finished we went back in then I went to go and buy , Faith and Jamie and I an Ice cream. As soon as we got our ice cream we walked into Cadbury Land ( the little kids playground) and saw a wizard with a bucket full of lollies. We asked him for a lolly and he said “Only if you can answer this question”. 
so we said OK”. He asked us
“What are the names of Rainbow’s End mascots?” 
then we said “I don’t know “ so he said to go and find out the names and then to go and find him. We found out the names but we couldn't find the man.

We all went on rides with others until it was time to go. I went with Lorean and Mana again onto the Invader for about 15 - 20 times. When it was time to go home Faith and I went with Sylvia and she dropped us off at Faith’s house. Then I stayed the rest of the weekend at her house.

Teachers Getting Paid By Grades?


There are a lot of schools in New Zealand. We all learn very hard, but some people just come to school to have fun and not for learning. My school has 8 hours of school and 1 hour for lunch and 20 minutes of morning tea.

I don't think that teachers should get paid by students' grades because if students don’t do enough work then the teachers won’t get paid much and they may not have enough money to get things they need to survive. For example, Mrs Shell doesn't have any food for the whole day because she doesn't get paid well and so she might fall asleep in class.


Teachers will get angry with how their students are working and might hurt them physically so they might take it out on their students. For example, Mrs Flowers picks up a chair and throws it at one of her students and says “You better finish this or I will punch you!”

Some teachers might get very very angry and quit their job, then the students won’t have a teacher. For example, Ms Grass gets angry because all of her pupils get very low grades so she packs her stuff and leaves the school grounds and doesn't come back the next day.

These are my reasons and examples why I think teachers shouldn't get paid by their students' grades. It's unfair for teachers to be paid by kids grades because their grades may change.

BARGAINS EVERYWHERE!

Chapter One -
This chapter is about Rod getting a new television and Sean teaches Rod how to use the remote. They find a channel called 99.

Chapter 2 -
Rod and Sean started watching channel 99 and find out that it is a shopping channel that is held by aliens! They started to scribble down the number and in the next chapter. I predict that they will order some of the interesting things.

My group for reading had to read a book called 'Bargains from Outer Space'. We all had to summarize this book then type it down onto a Google Document. We also had to predict what happens next.

Video Games Are Not For Children Under Five

A lot of kids love to play video games. They are fun to play and there are   all different kinds games to play e.g Scooby Doo, Grand Theft Auto, Sims etc.

Most of the video games out these days are rated 16 and over. If children under five play 16 and over games then they will be influenced to do all the things in this game. E.g Jacob plays Grand Theft Auto then he hears someone swearing  and do inappropriate things, then he goes outside and starts to swear and do adult things.

The things in some games can scare little children. E.g the ghost pops up from the window then at night the little boy cannot go to sleep and stares at the window all night because he is scared.

If little kids play wrestling video games then they will start to fight at school and have a bad reputation. E.g Michael plays a wrestling game then the next morning when he goes to school he starts a fight and uses all the moves he saw on his video game.

Video games can become a habit and can keep you up all night. If kids stay up then you won’t have a good sleep and will wake up late for school. E.g Grace stays up until 3:00 in the morning then gets up late and she has to rush around her room to find her things and to make her lunch. She took so long to gather her things that she misses the bus to school.

A lot of our population these days love video games and some don’t like them. I like video games but I don’t play them all the time. I think that kids should play age appropriate games but not all the time.

Looking After Others Is Very Important


These are all reasons why I think it is important to look after yourself and others

  • You have a shower because you must keep your body clean.
  • You go to church because you want God to cleanse your soul.
  • You help your mum with the cooking so it will be a very nice dinner that you have helped with.

How I look after Myself & Others

 This is how I look after Myself and my family. It is important to look after your family and friends because if you don't look after yourself and others you could die from a sickness from being unclean and not having showers daily.
