Carlos & Raihan Report Of Sydney Tragic Fires

For some time a forest fire has been shoot in west of Sydney. The fire’s have been going on since 14 th of October. Many fire fighters have gone and try to help, and many have been sent to the hospital of serious burns. The temperatures has been getting higher which means worse fire’s, and means more people getting hurt.

Over 200 homes have been destroyed and over 100 were destroyed today. The fire’s have killed many people. One man named Walter Lindner try to save his house but tragically died on his way to the hospital.

Fire fighters will carry on shooting tons and tons of water until every bit of fire is gone.

Thanks to all fire fighters for helping Sydney.

Napier

This morning we look at our writing and fix it to make it better.

In the holidays my family and I went down to Napier, to see my brother. As we were going on our trip we went on a road called Dead Man's Elbow. It was a very big hill, with a big drop at the end. Finally we got to Napier I was so happy to see my brother. One of my favourite things to do while we were in Napier was to go and see a great leader named Tepania. She is a statue that sits on top of one of Napier fountain.

Our other favourite things to do was go swimming at the pools. I dived in the pool like a seagull gliding over the water and  landed like a dolphin it was so awesome. My brother and I played lots of games like ball tigge, tag, racing and much more. After playing in the water we went back to our nan’s and sat in the sun to dry off, before we went inside.

After staying a week in Napier it was time to go home. I said my byes to my family and we were off. It was going to be another long day getting home. It was awesome at Napier can’t wait to come back.

My Goals for writing is to add more speech and fullstops to make it sound better.

Prospective Student

The boy was determined to get to the top of the towering mountain to find the dojo. Suddenly as he was climbing the vertical rocks one of his hands struggled to get to the next and slipped.”

Oh no this is the end” he thought in his head. He was petrified. He stretched his other hand and gripped strongly to the ledge above and heaved himself up. As he was nervously waiting to catch his breath he noticed that he was at the top.

He was petrified. He stretched his other hand and gripped strongly to the ledge above and heaved himself up. As he was nervously waiting to catch his breath he noticed that he was at the top.

“THANK GOD theres the dojo” he shouted. He hiked up the icy path one step at a time wiping his sweat. “This is my time”.

Rosa Parks

Ms Rosa Parks had just finished a hard day’s work and is on the bus way home. As normal on Montgomery Alabama busers. black in the back and white in the front. If a white person enters the bus and they are  no seats a black person would have to give they seat up.

A white man walks into the bus and waits for  Ms Rosa to move. Ms Rosa does not give up her seat. The white man tells the bus driver and the bus driver waves to the police. The police enters the bus and arrested Ms Rosa. Ms Rosa goes to jail for only five days.

As people saw and heard what happens they started protesting because she got arrested for just not giving up her seat.They chose to boycott using the bus. They started walking. Taxi drivers changed black people 10c and white people 45c but they lost their jobs. Black people started they own taxi company by using their own cars. The protest went on for a year and the local civil right were finally changed by new legislation from the president.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing

One dark night in July 1985 2 suspicious men motored around Mechanics bay on a zodiac.It was odd these two men were wearing scuba diving gear in the middle of the night. Through the mist they targeted towards Marsden Wharf. Meanwhile as Greenpeace’s ship Rainbow Warrior was anchored at Marsden Wharf, a  party was being celebrated, the director of the anti-nuclear movement’s 29th birthday. The two unknown men slipped down through the water unnoticed. They swam under the Rainbow Warrior  and attached two limpet bomb to the bottom of the boat stealthily.

Suddenly a tragic blast exploded through the walls of the Rainbow Warrior. “Abandon ship Abandon ship,” said Pete Willox in a loud voice. They all escaped except photographer Fernando Pereira, he ran back to the ship after the first explosion to claim his things. Water was thundering through the hallways hitting everything in it’s way. As every second went past the more water came tumbling in. The Rainbow Warrior sunk and no sight of Fernando Pereira was found until they retrieved his body later on.

The two suspicious men were actually working with 11 undercover spies for the French government. After the bombing  New Zealand police tracked and arrested two of the spies Dominique Prieur and  Alain Mafart who ended up getting sentenced to ten years in jail.  

But only stayed in jail for 2 years. Unfortunately the French Government gave New Zealand 13m dollars, and said if they don’t give they spies back they will boycott using New Zealand products. That meant losing thousands and thousands of dollars. `  

The French spies blew up the Rainbow Warrior because they were trying to stop them from protesting against the nuclear testing in French Polynesia. This was causing negative impacts like death, radiation poisoning, health problems like birth deformities and cancer.

This was the only New Zealand terrorist attack.

BasketBall

Every Thursdays from the starting of term 3 Room 19 went to basketball training.“Yes we're going to basketball” I said to my friend Silas next door to me when we were walking.

As I saw the basketball court I was just about to run down to our teacher and hug but didn't really want to.

We went to practice bouncing,handling and how to do awesome tricks. Every time we go to basketball we practice jump stop. One of my favourite things to do at basketball was a game called King Of The Count. To play King Of The Court you have to start in a small circle and try backhand the other person ball out of the circle.

The first week we had basketball I was so surprised when Mrs Lagitupu took us to the court to play basketball. I was happy. The first thing we did was play a warm up game. We play octopus, as I was zooming down the court I notices that  everyone was in but four of my classmates. I got tag first out of them but it was a cool game.

As we were leaving basketball we said a good thank you to our basketball teacher and went back to class. “Today was great” I said  can’t wait for next week.
