Character Writing - Monday 15th Febuary

William-my cousin!

If you new a Crazy, enthusiastic, sporty wrestling freakish guy, who would it be?? Well I Know someone like that. And that is my cousin William! Sometimes he makes you think that you don’t really know him, but really he’s a great guy!

One thing you must know about william is that he absolutely loves WRESTLING!!!He also strangely likes to perform dances witch I find quite weird in a guy! Some things in life you must hate,and for William it definitely has to be vegetables!! Sometimes when William is on a major high he goes a bit O.T.T!!

William’s social work is almost the best you can have!! He has many friends (along with a few girls too!) Although William is only 9 he is great to be around!

Most of the things I have described about William have been good, but along with everyone else, he has bad points! He does tend to get annoyed quickly and sometimes is a bit loud, but he is still awesome!

William has some great stories behind him but one of the best is this! One day in Auckland he was walking with his family and came across a $10 note so he said “Mum I’ve found a $10 note” She kept walking. “Wait mum It’s an $100 dollar note” She stopped and realized that Will had discovered a fortune,(to find on the side of the road!) They rung the police to see if and one had claimed to have lost it but none had! Therefore he got to keep it!

Even though he’s not perfect, he is the craziest, weirdest guy you'll ever meet!



Term 3 This term we did lots of new writing activities. Here are some of mine. Enjoy!!

Main idea for story: A old and frail man decides he will go out into the world. He goes to France,and meets a lady in a flower shop

Picture story P.S: The picture is underneath.

Things change when you get old. You start to feel the pains as sharp as knives in you back, you forget some of the greatest memories, like learning to drive a car and your senior prom, but one of the worst things about being as old is that y the adventure leaves your life. For Percy Williams, a humble man who lives in a house almost as old as him, adventure is one of the things that has not been lived. Percy longs for adventure so he packs his bags and was off. He didn’t know where he was going or whether he had enough money for the trip so he decides to go small. So England to France was they way to go. 3 hours later (after he arrived in Paris), he was sitting on a park bench wondering what to do now he was there. His back is as broken as his heart as he has never had anyone to love, he tries to cheer himself by thinking of something happy. that is very easy as it is sitting right in front of him. A Flower Shop. Feeling a little less down he makes his way over the cobbled road to the flower shop. Utterly amazed as the scent of daffodils, roses and any other type of flower you can think of fills his nose with life. You would think that was enough but then the happiest thing happened to Percy. He fell in love. The lady standing behind the counter was as plain as paper to any man, but to Percy she was a book filled with words of beauty. He gazed at her as he strode over to the daisy isle and picks a bunch. He walked over to the counter. The beautiful lady says “That will be 5pounds a bunch and 20 pennies for a flower. Percy is lulled into a mumbling mode by her soft magnificent voice. Percy always longed for adventure, but never expected it to find him. He finally snapped out of his love fit and answered by saying “I’ll take one flower” he said this as he picked his favorite from the bunch, not necessarily the brightest flower but the one that resembled his love, The lady as plain as paper. Percy had no idea of her name, but when he left Paris and his adventure was over he would never forget the day he met the Daisy girl, and that memory unlike any others, would stay in his heart forever.

Here Is My Creative Hawk Writing:



We also did these poems called Haiku. A haiku is made up of 3 lines of the syllables 5-7-5. Here is a haiku I made:

Fish scales twinkling, seaweed swaying gracefully, in the ocean waves

Swimming in the sea feels like I’m flying like I’m walking on fresh air.



Monday 16th of August 2010 Exposition Writing: Should 1080 poison be banned of should it proceed? W.A.L.T: Write an exposition showing one side of the story.

How would you feel if every single night you had to hide from things like Possums and Stoats, and then find in the morning you had lost one of your babies. Then look at it from the farmers point of view you wake up and see that your whole herd of cows showing bad symptoms of TB (Tuberculosis), that's Meat, Money and Business down the drain. So why does anyone in NZ even think about banning 1080 poison?

For a start you need to know what TB (Tuberculosis) is. TB is a disease that rats, stoats and possums carry and spread onto our livestock, and native birds. That is one big reason why we shouldn’t ban 1080 poison.

1080 is a poison (usually in pallets or powder) that NZ spread by air. They get a whole lot of the poison and spread it onto the Tararuas which goes into our forests which eventually gets to possums, stoats and rats.

Since 1080 poisoning started (30 years ago), possums and stoats have been reduced in New Zealand. It is hard to believe but after 30 years. we still have a problem with all those pests. This means we will need to keep going with the poisoning and hopefully in another 10 years time will be rid ourselves of the horrible, disease spreading pests.

All in all, I have my thoughts and other people have their own, but I hope, in some way I have made you aware of 1080 poisoning and how it really does make New Zealand a better place.
