Letter to John Key


Pt England School
130 Pt England Road
Pt England
Auckland

Thursday 25 August 2016

Dear Prime Minister John Key,

Talofa Lava my name is Makayla. I am sending this letter to you to write about the problem of pollution and plastic waste. Did you know a NZ bird, Black petrel approached shore sick. Someone was generous enough to take it to the marine hospital and it died a few moments after because it had eaten a dark blue milk bottle cap. So I stand up for our birds that are sick and dying out in our seas.

You need to let more people know that they shouldn’t be throwing their plastic waste through the drain, because it reaches to the sea and it makes our sea look untidy. That means it would affect our seabirds, and that makes them get very sick and die because of plastic waste.

Therefore I think that you need to make a law statement explaining like I said that they need to stop dropping their plastic waste into the water drains. If they don’t listen to this law then they might have to be fined for littering their rubbish through the drains. Or you can put more people out in public to clean the drains because the drains are full. If you don’t do this then all of our native birds will die because of plastic waste.

Yours sincerely,

Makayla

Task Description: First we watched a few video's about plastic waste and it going to the sea and talk about it. Then we had to write a practise letter to John Key but we are arguing. then we had to post it on our blog.

All the men in the 100m final started stretching and preparing themselves for the race. The packed out crowd at the Olympic Stadium were cheering loudly as the men were preparing. The race official said “on your marks” and the men knelt down and put their feet on the starting blocks. The crowd went crazy.


Suddenly the race official said “get set” and then the men put their bottoms up and hands on the ground. Moments later the gun went off and the men started to sprint down the track. The crowd cheered louder for the men as they were sprinting. The men were sprinting as hard as they could so that they could get a medal. Their bodies were moving their fast and quick. The men started to approach the finish line. Then suddenly Usain Bolt came 1st in the race.

Everyone cheered for Usain Bolt as he came 1st in the race. He was so proud of himself because he came 1st. When the race had finished the top three runners went to get their medals. As soon as Usain Bolt had been given his gold medal he did his special move. The cameraman kept taking photos of him while he was walking away.

Teuila and the great white shark



Teuila’s heart was pounding as she was being chased by a great white shark. She was exhausted from swimming so hard, but she knew that as a warrior she could do anything to escape situations like this. Teuila had a lifetime ahead of her and she didn’t want to die.


But the problem was that she was swimming far away from her tribal village. She knew she had to escape from the shark but she also knew that she had to get back quickly to her village. She thought that someone could see her but no one had noticed that she was gone.


Suddenly the shark gave up and she swam away.  Teuila spotted an island in the distance. Limping out of the water she noticed that she had a very bad cut on her leg. She found two sticks and used them as walking sticks.


After what seemed like a long time, Teuila found a little hut in a small village. She barged in and looked for someone to help her. An old lady said “Hello are you ok?” “No I have hurt my leg badly and I need to fix it” said Teuila. “Oh sure I can help you” said the old lady as she helped Teuila. After a long time it was starting to get dark. The old lady said “Oh no there is a storm about to hit”. “What? No! There can’t be! I have to get home!” Teuila said.


“Go to sleep and we will get you home tomorrow” said the old lady. The next morning Teuila woke up to a village that looked like it had been destroyed. “Oh my goodness that storm must of been big” said Teuila. The old lady said “Yes, yes it was”. Suddenly the old lady said that her grandson had a boat, and that he could take her home. “Why thank you. Now I can see my family again” said Teuila gratefully.


“TEUILA where were you?” said Teuila’s mum. “Sorry mum it’s a long story”. “I’m so happy that I’m back” Teuila said. She explained how she had been chased by a shark, getting lost and then surviving a storm. Her family were so relieved to hear that she was ok. That night, Teuila’s family made a huge feast to welcome her back. Then they lived happily ever after.


Task Description:This is my narrative story about my Maori or pacific warrior Teuila. I also have a image of her in the village. She is with the old lady that helped her.
