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.

Softball Recount

Today my classroom and I had a  session of softball with two sporty instructors from Auckland sport. This morning the instructors said that we would be learning how  to roll, catch and throw the ball.

First we had a warm up game call Octopus so that when we begin our lesson we would be warm to start our learning skills.

Then we had a game that involved our whole classroom.  The instructors were willing to see who can go the farest with catching the ball and to throw the ball back to their partner. Who ever was the farest was the champion of the game. But we were not allowed to pass it to your partner or else you would have to stand where you finished of so that the instructors can see who are the top three.

The top three teams was Lisiate and Nathaniel, Christian and Siupeli and Moli and myself. The first team to start of was Christian and Siupeli. Second was Moli and myself. Then went Nathaniel and Lisiate. In the first round Moli and I got eliminated from the challenge. It was now the second round. The last two teams were trying very hard to see who would win. After Siupeli and Christian and Nathaniel and Lisiate finish their round the instructors decided that the winners were Lisiate and Nathaniel.

Even though Moli and I lost we still felt intense because we never wanted to play softball just to win. We wanted to play softball to become a champion at learning how to play sports like softball.
