My Weekend.

‘Arrrrrrgh!!’ she exclaimed. She clenched onto my hand as if the world was ending.

‘Drive faster!’ she demanded. At this point my hand was turning purple. I had the job of writing down how far apart the contractions were with my spare hand.

We parked up, I ran to the boot and grabbed all the bags, then we power walked to the elevator.

My mother pushed number 9, as we were in the lift I felt the floor being soaked in some type of liquid, then I realised my auntie had broken one of her waters.

She was panicking, my mum told her there’s no need to worry. ‘It’s perfectly normal’ my mum said softly. Once we reached the top she had another contraction, she walked like a penguin to the corridor, she then leant on the wall and relaxed.

Her partner asked the receptionist what room ‘Tegan Webster’ was in. ‘Last room on your right’ she replied. ‘Thank you’ he said. When we arrived at the room, there was a huge bath filling up. It had to be 101 Fahrenheit as it could be too hot for the baby.   

Cross Country Writing

I woke up and wondered what I would come in Cross Country. I swiftly jumped out of bed, slipped my uniform on, and made myself some toast. I put my green clothes into my bag and said my goodbyes.

Last week on Thursday, my school (Pt England) had Cross Country. It started at 1pm. The whole school had to meet at the netball courts next to the outside toilets. When we arrived, we were put into age groups, from Yr 1 - Yr 8 boys & girls. I was put into the Yr 8 Girls Group.

When the Yr 1 boys were called up to go and race, I was so excited for them. Mrs Nua had announced that the Yr 8 Girls would be last to race. Asena and I kept ourselves occupied by taking action photo’s of people already running.

The Yr 1 - 5’s had a different course to run, it was much shorter. The seniors course was 3 km, and the Juniors had to run half of that. ‘Yr 8’s, Yr 8 Girls?’ Mrs Nua exclaimed. All the Yr 8 girls stood up, and it looked pretty cool because we were wearing our house colours. It was kind of like a rainbow.

‘Ready, Set’ Mr Burt said aloud. ‘Bang’ went the little pistol. It sounded like more of a ‘Pop’ to me. Kaycee and I sprinted to the goal post and before we had reached the end of it, we stopped for breath. I counted 100 strides before I rested, waited for 10 seconds, then started running again.

After completing one lap of the course, I had to run through it once more. At this point I felt like pulling a sickie. My throat was dry, my feet were killing me and my face was dripping with sweat.

I had finished my last lap around the reserve, just before I entered the gates, I saw Mr Barks and Mr Sommerville cheering. I was pumped enough to run the rest of the way, but I decided to just walk, because I knew I wouldn’t get a prize. I let Cheyanne and Anamei overtake me. I saw Serenity at the finish line yelling my name, “Go Porscha! Go Porscha!.” She yelled. I jogged past the finish line and hugged Serenity, I walked to the tap and washed my feet. The bell went, I walked to class then left school and went home.

Letter to John Key

Dear John Key,

My name is Porscha, I attend Point England School. I'm writing this letter to you because I’m not impressed with the way the Ocean is being treated. Over 1 billion plastic bags are used in New Zealand each year.

I propose that we ban plastic bags, because it’s killing the sea life. Six countries have already banned Plastic Bags.

When plastic bags are thrown into the water, fish & birds think it’s food. By the time they realised it’s not food, they’ve already choked & died.

That is just one of the many reasons I want plastic bags to be banned.

Plastic bags being banned from New Zealand wouldn’t only be environmentally safe, but safer for children as well. It can prevent sea pollution from getting worse and sea life won’t be in danger.

This is also a good idea because, it’ll keep the image of New Zealand being a clean and green country.

For a start, we should increase the price of plastic bags, so hardly anybody will buy them. Then, by 2015 plastic bags will be banned. By then there will already be paper bags. Please ban plastic bags.

Yours sincerely

Porscha

Argument Writing.

Children should do some form of exercise everyday’. Today my writing is based on why children should exercise every day. Firstly, exercising every day is essential because it can prevent children from getting obese. 1 in 9 children are obese in New Zealand, by 2020 5 in 9 children will be overweight.
