The Duffy show

On Monday we had a Duffy show in the whare. Once the classes sat down there were three actors on stage two girls and one boy. They introduced themselves and said what their parts were, one of the girls was named Sam and the other one was named Kate and the man was called Duffy.  They said that we should sing the Duffy song first, in sign language and without sign language, slowly the song slowly ended and the show started. Duffy had packed his gears because his parents had work so they are sending him to his cousin’s house. Duffy is playing magic bricks with his cuzzy Sam. ‘Duffy’ said aunty/ Kate aunty arrived at the house Duffy quickly got his bags and rushed to the car. After a three hour drive, they finally arrived at the house ‘Hey sam’ said Duffy Sam didn’t reply back cause she was to busy playing magic bricks. Duffy asked Sam if she wanted to ride the bikes, go for a walk or… still, no respond so Duffy waves his arm up and down in front of Sams face. Sam yelled 'DUFFY YOU MADE ME LOSE !!! And threw a massive tantrum while Duffy was hiding behind the wall. Sam played another round of magic bricks, Duffy slowly came out from behind the wall and made a face. Duffy saw nanas glasses, he put them on and started doing nanas famous dance it was super funny. Duffy was still dancing until he got sucked into magic bricks.

19.6.19/ 3.7.19

On May the 22nd Gillian Lee, an Australian Mountaineer almost reached the summit of Everest without using an air tank. Gil climbed on the North side of the Tibet Route because the easier way up Mount Everest was a human traffic jam of two to three hundred climbers.

Because Gillian Lee was 7600m high he was in the death zone. His lips began to turn blue and he was constantly coughing really badly. His body shut down and he passed out for three hours. Luckily he had two Sherpa guides to help him. The guides carried Gil down and placed him in his tent, rubbing both hands and grabbing as many hot water bottles as they could.

The two guides made a sled out of a mat and dragged him down. At 6000m they met a Chinese rope fixing team. The team offered to help and continued to slide him down the snow-covered the mountain. When the snow ran out they strapped Gil onto a yak to   the way to base camp which took six hours. Once they got to base camp Gil was put onto a helicopter to Kathmandu Hospital in Nepal.

Gils mum visited Gillian at the hospital. She was absolutely furious at him for putting the two Sherpas and himself in danger.

Will Gillian Lee try to climb Mount Everest again without an oxygen tank?

Why we should ban fizzy drinks

Why Fizzy drinks should be banned

Introduction 

In todays speech I will be telling you some  main reasons why I think Fizzy drinks should be banned.  I will talk about how much sugar is in fizzy and how bad it is for your health.  As well as how fizzy drinks such as sprite, Coke-cola, L&P, and Jolly drinks and other types of fizzy bottles are flooding our planet with pollution.

The first reason we should ban fizzy drinks is that they are so yum and addictive because they contain too much sugar.  Sugar makes everything taste sweet and yum. And Our taste buds love sweet things. Sugar is used by our bodies to give us the energy to do the things we do every day. so it is useful but too much sugar for our body to handle is dangerous to our health and that's why we should ban fizzy drinks.     Fizzy drinks usually have too much sugar in them, I found that it has 9 teaspoons of sugar in one drink serving! I also learned that the body can also only store so much sugar away before the body begins to have problems.   

Unhealthy

Because Fizzy drinks are so yum and addictive people are drinking too much and so they are filling their bodies with too much sugar.  Well, my second reason to ban fizzy drinks is because they can cause health problems such as weight gain, blood sugar problems called diabetes, heart strok and heart disease  it can also make your teeth go rotten. If you get rotten teeth from fizzy drinks your next visit is to the dentist, where you may need to have injections and have your teeth taken out!  There are doctors and scientists asking people around the world to stop drinking fizzy drinks because of the one hundred and eighty-four thousand people dying from diabetes per year. Fizzy drinks not only make people unhealthy but they can also make the earth itself unhealthy.

                           Pollution 

Another thing that is not good about fizzy drinks is that the plastic bottles they are sold in, are found all over the land and oceans causing an enormous disaster for the environment.  If we banned fizzy drinks right now then we will find less pollution in the world and less plastic in the ocean. This would be good news for sea animals, land animals, and humans. During the long weekend, my cousins and I were playing schools where Dylin was the teacher. Dylin was telling us about the pollution in the world not just from fizzy bottles but other kinds of plastic related pollution. She said that plastic bags and plastic bottles that are burnt by people were polluting our world.  Burning plastic can cause the air to be toxic, therefore if you do that than the hole in the ozone layer which protects us from the suns strong sun rays can melt our ice. Polar bears won't be able to survive because they hunt for food on ice. And If there is no ice then the polar bears will starve.  

   

To conclude my speech I have pointed out some key reasons about  why I think fizzy drinks should be banned. Fizzy drinks are far too yummy and addictive, they contribute to the unwellness of our bodies from too much sugar and they contribute to the unwellness of the earth from the pollution caused by their plastic packaging.

  Ending 

If you don't want to become overweight, unhealthy and have a full ocean of sugar in your body then I suggest you get up and make a change with fizzy drinks and please save the world from pollution.

thank you letter to Isabell

Dear Isabel,

Thank you for taking us snorkeling at whatuwhiwhi it was the best snorkel I've ever had. Also, thank you for telling me what a marine reserve is. I did not know what a marine reserve was until you came to our school and explained it.  

The highlight of my day was seeing so much different sea life, such as snaper, a seahorse, an eagle ray and a school of miniature fish.

Also, seeing kina everywhere in between the rocks and chasing the fish through the water.

Again, thank you so much for an amazing day at whatuwhiwhi. We are grateful for the opportunity to go snorkeling with you.

Yours sincerely,

serenade

A moment in time

A moment in time’

At one o’clock we had lunch on the NAVY boat. I had two crunchy patties, a bun, potato salad, and regular salad. Our team got our food and we went downstairs to eat it once we got down, my stomach started rumbling with hunger. I took a bite of the patty. It felt like I was swimming in a bunch kebabs’ it was so delicious. I liked it because we got to hear the waves crashing and the dolphins splashing while we ate. The food tasted luscious!
