National Anthem

E Ihowa Atua

O ngā iwi mātou rā,

āta whakarongo na;

Me aroha noa.

Kia hua ko te pai;

Kia tau tō atawhai;

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa.

God of nations at thy feet

in the bonds of love we meet.

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific’s triple star

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand

My Narrative

One glorious afternoon our  family had set off to the beach to enjoy  our  family time together. While we were at the beach we started to set up food on the BBQ so we could start cooking the food. The BBQ was as hot as ten ovens.  While  we were waiting for the food to be cooked we played a fun game of  volley ball .

A few minutes later  everybody gathered around  the table as the food was ready.  My dad had to pray for the food as it got to the  end of the prayer we all sat down and started to plate our food. The  food was delicious and  mangoes.  After was our dessert, we had ice cream and chocolate cake.  At the  of  the feed, we had a game of rugby.

We finally left the beach and everyone felt so tired from eating all that yummy food and playing those games.

Our Hip hop lesson

On Thursday room 10 had there first hip hop lesson that was in the hall.The instructor names  were Captain and Christina.They took us through some steps on how to hip hop dance.

After the dance steps  we added the music with the moves.

At the  end everybody was tired and sweating. But we all enjoyed ourselves.

Rubbish Dumping

Are you scared you might get arrested for littering? In my neighbourhood people are dropping rubbish on the ground. I feel strongly that it should stop because it is going to look like a rubbish dump as well as polluting our community.  It is illegal to dump rubbish on any public or private land without permission. I believe that the police should have surveillance cameras everywhere and especially public areas.  I know that the people of New Zealand can put their own rubbish in the bin.

First of all, we need to show the world that we have a clean and healthy environment to live in and that will also attract more tourists where I feel that will definitely better our economics.

In addition, I believe that the police should have surveillance cameras everywhere. So we can catch the people who litters and give them a $500.00 dollar fine.

Furthermore, by law if you dump rubbish in public or on private land, the possible charge that the mayor could give you is $1000.00   But they still do it because they think that it is okay to dump rubbish anywhere and everywhere.

Finally, I can assure you that people can help each other to keep New Zealand clean.

I believe that the people of New Zealand can put their own rubbish in the bin.  Just imagine what it would be like to live in such a litter free country.  Everyone will live healthy and most of all will probably live longer.Please help me stamp out polluting our environment.
