X-country

X - Country

The day had come. It was the day when you had to run , run and run again. I saw people groaning and groaning because they didn’t want to run. I could tell that children were thinking why do we have to do this torture . Yes the cross country day had arrived,

Mr VB blasted the hooter beater into the dark, blue sky. BEEP! AS the hooter beater was shot up into the sky the children started running like millions of bulls running into a zebra. I was only behind about ten people and I got covered in wet; brown, sticky mud. I needed to wipe it off my face but I couldn’t because if I did I would get squished under billions of elephants. Suddenly just one thing made me forget about the mud on my face. I was the … HILL

I felt like dieing going up the hill but knew I had to keep going. I was ten billion miles away from the finish line but I was three meters away from the top of the hill. Three two one! I was on top of the hill. It felt like i’d climbed Mt Everest

but the bad news was soon I had to run it up again.

After the second lap of the hill I only thought of finishing the race. The scorching sun made me more tired than ever. I could hear my friends cheering for me. That meant I was nearly there. I was ten meters away from the finish line. I started sprinting and I was done. I was very proud of myself because I had come SIXTH! I was in the cluster X-country team for the first time.

My argument ^^

    Animals should not be kept in  zoos

I absolutely believe that animals should not be kept in zoos for these reasons; hunting , unsuitable environment and the embarrassment.

First of all the hunting. Think of the tigers. Wild tigers hunt by running jumping and scarring but in the zoo the zoo keepers give the meat to them so the tiger doesn’t hunt like when he’s in the wild.Then the tigers will get lazier and lazier and lazier. For another example if the tiger wants to eat cow meat the zoo keeper wouldn’t understand so the keeper might give horse meat. Imagine not eating what you want to eat and eating the same thing every week. It would be better living in the wild.

Next I’m going to talk about the UNSUITABLE ENVIRONMENT. Imagine being in a small cage that’s different to your real home. That’s similar to being kidnapped. The lizard have tiny cages that they can’t even move that much.

Finally the embarrassment. Lots of animals are popular like the red panda , the lion , the tiger , the meerkats and the spider monkey. they might be happy but mostly embarrassed. How embarrassing will it be when you have to pee or poo in front of a huge crowd.

Zoo keepers, do you think it’s fair to make animals trapped in cages? What if you were kept in a tiny cage and separated your family and people laughing at you. Think of the poor animals!

Living in NZ is Better than korea

I absolutely believe living in NZ is better than living in Korea here are the reasons why you should agree with me; NZ has more beaches , less people and better houses

First, the beaches. Did you know that you have to drive at least 1 hr just to go to a beach in Korea and it only takes about 10 minutes to go to a beach in NZ and New Zealand has about 7 times more beaches than Korea! Imagine in a hot summer day you’re just lying on the sofa and doing nothing and you really want to go to a beach but you can’t because it takes to long. Some people in Korea have never been to a beach!

Next I’m going to tell you that there are more people in Korea than NZ. There are more than 50 million people in Korea. Did you know that there are more people in Seoul (capital city), Korea than people in NZ. Imagine everyday you go to a shop in Korea and it takes 30 minutes because of the traffic jam!

Finally the houses. Most of the people in NZ live in houses right? Well most of the people in Korea live in apartments! Only quite rich people live in houses. You can’t play a piano and you can’t run because the people that live downstairs say it’s too noisy. Imagine you were living in a room with only about 3 smaller rooms and 1 toilet. What would you do on a rainy day? Watch TV all day? Imagine how boring it would be but in New Zealand we can play the piano and we have 5 rooms and 2~3 toilets.

Now you should know why living in NZ is better than living in Korea. For the people in Korea, do you think living in Korea is better? If you read my writing and think NZ is better then what are you waiting for? Quick come to the fantastic New Zealand.

NZ's most mathematical flag

Have you ever asked yourself why you have to wear school uniform?  Wearing uniform is an boring thing for most or maybe all students.I think that children shouldn’t have to wear uniform in school because it doesn’t make you smart.there are uniforms for people who train at the army but there aren’t any uniforms for school teachers but us kids have two uniforms like for school time and sometimes sports time.Another reason why we shouldn’t wear school uniform is it’s just using lots money.Parents will get angry if you rip or if you lose your really expensive jumper. The one you forgot to put your name in.Well I don’t, I think it’s boring. I myself want no uniforms because if there was a fire, your parents might want to come pick you up and everyone is wearing the same thing and it might be hard to find you.Uniforms are uncomfortable.

When I am sitting at assembly my body is always itchy especially when we are doing prize giving I can’t stop moving.

Don’t you want to wear your own clothes Don’t you want to wear your favourite clothes. I would really really like it.There are lots of people who wear uniform For example like for people who go to work.there are uniforms for people who train at the army but there aren’t any uniforms for school teachers but us kids have two uniforms like for school time and sometimes sports time.Another reason why we shouldn’t wear school uniform is it’s just using lots money.Parents will get angry if you rip or if you lose your really expensive jumper. The one you forgot to put your name in.Another example is you have to pay that money. It’s always expensive and never goes on sale. When my mum comes home and says she bought an uniform

dad asks how much it was it and it’s always expensive. If you don’t wear uniform you don’t HAVE to change your clothes everyday when you come home after school.You can play straight away instead of wasting time changing your clothes.If you sleep in and you have to go fast but you would be late because you have to find your uniform.But if you can wear any clothes you can get changed faster and be just in time to school.We can wear any clothes to school only on special occasions like mufti day. Who likes mufti day.I think it’s awesome but it would be more awesome if it was mufti day everyday.Is it fair if students wear uniform and teachers don’t I think it’s not.The uniform doesn’t make you smart so we don’t need to wear it.Teachers do you think it’s fair to make all the students wear the same clothes everyday you come to school.

                 The  crazy  class

Before

I opened the door and there were kids everywhere.

Boys were climbing out of the window and there were paper planes all over the place.My best friend Anna was holding one of the rats from the science lab

After

I opened the door at full speed. “duck!”  yelled Matt, and a huge paper plane came diving right at my head. “Come on.” Jack was halfway out the window, two boys were right behind him. My best friend Alan was holding one of the rats from the science lab and the rest were running everywhere. “what’s happening?” I asked him.”There are no teachers,” “None at all!”

After I noticed that there were no teachers I called the police but when the police came no one was in the police car!

“Arggghhhhh!” I screamed in horror. I sprinted to the class and suddenly the speaker called out EVACUATE!  EVACUTE!  I shouted “Get out of here!” But in a blink of an eye, 5 kids had turned into green, stupid ZOMBIES!

After 1 minute, all the kids turned into zombies (except me). Once again, I screamed in horror and I ran outside as fast as a cheetah. The zombies started fighting in the staff room and I heard that all the other schools had the same situation.

As I just stood there in shock, I felt something hitting my back and I fainted.

10 days later . . .

I woke up at the hospital and tried to stand up but I couldn’t. Suddenly , the doctor shouted “No! don’t stand up yet because

you have a broken spine!” “What? Noooo!” I cried

2 days later . . .

After lying in the hospital I was thinking what happened to all the kids or the stinky zombies. Then I heard a weird sound from the corridor. I decided to stay in bed when...

GRRRRR!

eventually I died. BAD ZOMBIES!
