my poem on nothing

Nothing

This is my poem on nothing

When I'm doing nothing this is what I do

I sit down and do nothing not even listen to a bird chirp

I open my my mouth and take a huge burp

I will sit down the whole day

Just for nothing not even to go play

I don't want to shoot someone with a gun

I don't want to have any fun

The only thing I do is be a silent Steve

At the end of the day the sky will fall

then I will have to leave

When my mum asks me “How was your day?”

This is what I will say

I played the nothing game

And today was very lame

10ch

One day 10CH from  grey high walked to karoro school
to teach us a game called te uru. At the start we played
seaweed to warm up. Then we did some drills. The first
one my group was a passing one where you had to pass
the ball to somebody in our group and say their name.
If you done a bad pass or didn't catch the ball you will be out.

Next Two dudes go in the middle and the rest make a
circle around then and passed the ball to each other.
While the people in the centre try to block the ball from
getting to the others.

Then we played the game.

Refugees

   Refugees   

This author has been very smart and intelligent with his writing. This author is trying to persuade  the reader. The author has got an equally bios way for good and against Refugees if you read it forwards. If you

read it backwards it's welcome the refugees.

one In way is agreeing and the other is disagreeing with the refugees.

In our minds we think refugees should get a second chance for life. These people are in need, help then when it's possible.

st johns

2018 term 3 St Johns on monday a st johns
lady came to our school teach room 1 how to save lives
and important stuff.  We learned how to bringing someone
back from the dead but we only had two minutes.

We heart it incase we find somebody that needs that
treatment or in an emergency when there isn't anyone
around you

We found it valuable and useful for when or if we find
somebody on the ground.

Before you do anything check if there awake by yelling
out there name or say “hey hey wake up,” and if not tape
them hard on them collar bone. If they still don’t get up, then
you perform CPR. If perform CPR for 1-2 hours and you can't
go and more then you can stop.

scavenger hunt

Purerehua

Deep, whirring sounds

Ring to my ear

Sounds like a rabble of butterflies

Attracting lizards and prey

Booming noises hang around

Lizards scatter across the ground

They scram across the wet, leafy ground

Lizards get caught

get eaten.
