Proposed Hollyford/Haast Road
Hi today I will be talking about the proposed Hollyford/Haast road and I will be writing from the Tourism Operators/Construction Companies/Supporters of the road point of view
(Not that I want to)
We need this road because it will take less time, save fuel and we can charge the people that use the road so that we can get a little bit of the money back. Also as long as we have a quicker road people will use it I mean just about no one will want to sit in a car for 4-6 hours when there is a quicker road to go on…

The rainbow warrior bombing
The rainbow warrior bombing
Hello today I will be writing about the bombing of the rainbow warrior from the French government point of view (I DON’T agree with them this was simply a task for our school work)
1985 July 10
The bomb testing is good we can sell the bombs for money and we will be safe in a nuclear war. We are in our territory and we a far away from France. But the Greenpeace people keep getting in the way of our testing. How will we stop them? I know we will blow the ship up then they can’t get in the way of our testing. But for now, we have to test more bombs to see how powerful we can get them. The more powerful, the more money and protection we will have if there is a nuclear war
1985 July 10 (Evening nearly midnight)
We are in Marsden Wharf in Auckland and look there is the boat let's put the bombs on the ship before someone sees us. The bomb will go off soon and we won’t have to worry about them anymore. We will be able to test more bombs and we won’t have a bad reputation (When the ship was out at sea there was someone filming). BOOM we have gotten through the hull of the ship and it is sinking now.
Here are a couple of facts, a Portuguese crew member named Fernando Pereira was killed during the explosions on the 10 of July 1985.
And two people from the French government (Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart) were arrested on 24 July and both were charged with murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment.

Mr Madguts
Mr. Madguts
Once there lived a stupid, grumpy, weird and ugly old man known as Mr Madguts. He had the ugliest house ever, there were muddy footprints on the floor, dog doo-doo stains on his clothes, mouldy food in his ears, in his bed and.Well, he didn’t actually have a bed all there was is a bunch of old wooden planks dumped on the ground with a rock hard mattress with old rusty metal pieces in it to puff it up. He also had gross stains on the walls the colour of poop and gross vomit. In fact, his whole house (including himself) was so gross, that most people will vomit even when they were just walking by, But ever since he moved into his house, he had always had the best and tidiest tree house. Surprisingly there was a best treehouse competition in his neighbourhood and if some people actually had the guts to walk up to him they tell him that he should enter the competition but he always says “no” with his voice sounding like a dying rat that just got ran over by a car in a rat running race.Everybody wonders why he has the worst house but the best tree house. The reason is that there is an angry ninja that lived in his toilet and when his treehouse was even a bit messy, the ninja would come out and would karate chop him on the shoulder until he cleaned it up and that is just what is happening right now ..... Mr Madguts went to the bathroom and immediately the ninja came out of the toilet and karate chopped him on the shoulder heaps and heaps of times. “Hey, what was that for!” Bellowed Mr. Madguts. “ You forgot to vacuum the treehouse for 2 hours yesterday !!!!!!!!!! and I’m going to karate chop you until you clean it up!!”Yelled the Ninja. And that's exactly what happened. In the white house (Sinead gets to stay in the white house for a bit because she needs a reward for solving out who stole the 100kg gold block and she was allowed to take Bridget and Natasha with her.)Sinead, Bridget and Natasha were talking.Well Natasha was really a guinea pig also known as the town's mascot so she squeaked away.Anyway they were talking about mysteries and adventures well soon they were talking about Mr.Madguts because suddenly there was a loud whistle and it was coming from Mr. Madguts's house. They were talking about Mr Madguts and why he was so strange. “ He is so strange”, said Bridget. “ Maybe we should investigate it”. “What! I can’t do that”Mr madguts now full of anger soon looked like a red tornado and this has to happen for two hours and to make things worse Mr.Madguts's ears have steam coming out of them and the ninja was using his whistle. Soon the ninja was bored of karate chopping Mr.Madguts and was having a super party at Mr.Madguts’s house and I can tell you it was LOUD!!!!! Even louder than you could possibly think of loud being.So all the towns people were soon buying a pair of earplugs each to block the sound out and soon the dartmart was sold out even the mall and paperplus.”oh no”cryed Bridget Sinead’s oldest cousin”what about Mr.Madguts maybe we could cheer him up by getting him some earplugs then he can work in peace.”.”that is a great idea but we don’t want to disturb him and also he is the one making the noise so why bother” replyed Sinead the town detective.”SQUEAK”s queaked Natasha which meant yeah why bother Bridget.It was lucky Sinead transalated wrong because otherwise Bridget would have caught Natasha and squeezed Natasha so tight she wouldn’t be able to walk for a week.”giene pig”said Jasmine Sinead’s little cousin”squeak squeak squeak squeak”squeaked Natasha which also meant oh no help me save me Sinead from this tornado of terror.Back at Mr. Madguts’s house the ninja was back in the tiolet and Mr. Madguts was watching the ball game when clang clang clang the toilet pipe in Mr.Madguts’s house was blocked or was it the ninja again.Mr. Madguts had to make a decision and he decided to ignore it but he was so lazy he didn’t even hire a plumber and of course it was the worst decision ever because right after that the toilet went woosh and it washed Mr. Madguts out of his house and the treehouse well let’s say that it was time for a new one but how will he do this one on his own. Oh there was one thing that I didn’t say, weirdly it was raining tacos. Mr. Madguts had exploded with anger and rage, his house was blown up and the ninja well… the ninja was whacking him for being so silly not calling a plumber. The ninja’s treehouse was ruined and he was wet from the toilet to cover his tears. Meanwhile Sinead, Natasha and Bridget were rushing over to investigate what happened. When they finally got there they got the ninja to back off and tell them answers to their questions but when they got to the last question the ninja burst into tears he was to sad to talk about this one so Sinead gave him a lollipop to calm him down. That was when he finally talked and said”I was so selfish getting an old man to build a treehouse and tidy it for me I just needed some help and money and now the consequence is for the treehouse to be ruined and it is all my fault all of that money has gone down the drain”. He burst into tears again and Sinead Bridget and Natasha made a plan for the ninja called operation treehouse for ninja. And they instantly made the plan work so over the year they helped the ninja make a new and better treehouse and well for Mr. Madguts well he got much more happy because now everyone visited him and he had some real friends and his house was rebuilt with the help of the town.

The great adventure
The great adventure part 1,2,3
Part 1 the gymnastics on the stairs
I am rolling down the stairs in my sleeping bag like a rolling rock, actually, that's not quite right.I am slipping now roly-poling down the stairs in my sleeping bag at high speed bumping into walls on the way down.I am in a fancy hotel in France with my friends, Sinead and Bridget. it has been so good so far but I still can’t believe Sinead brought her annoying brother with her( she even regretted it but her Mum made her).But what I didn’t know was something a lot more unexpected is going to happen but I can’t tell you what they are yet, it’s a secret for now.Anyway back to the story, I am doing part of my gymnastics routine on the stairs and My head hurts because on the way down the stairs I grazed it on my way down.And to make matters worse some of the blood on my forehead went onto the stairs.Suddenly I see blood on the stairs.
look around I didn’t see that before but the I feel my head.“Ahhhh” I’m Bleeding on top of My head Suddenly I bumped into my friend Sinead literary I bumped into her, not on purpose of course.But soon she knocked over the line for the toilet Bridget was first so it sent Bridget head-first into the toilet bowl. But while I was getting up I lost sight of Sinead.
Thanks for reading part 1, please read part 2 next.
Part 2 the toilet!
I am running into the toilets at speed now,[the toilets are automatic] my head goes into the toilet bowl and just at that moment the automatic toilet FLUSHES!!!!!!!!How did this happen you may ask well, we all went to France (me, Natasha and Sinead, Sinead's brother and our parents)and we came to this fancy hotel and now we are staying here for a holiday. Oh, and did I mention Shaymus came too ( Sinead’s older brother, she regretted it a lot )so the toilets here are automatic and I have a fear of automatic toilets. All I remember is that Natasha was roly-polying towards the line, then knocking Sinead down, which knocked 3 strangers down, and the last stranger that was behind me pushed me which sent me running at high speed and I couldn’t stop, and then the doors open, someone walks out I am coming in at high speed.Next thing I find my head stuck in the toilet bowl. I could smell chlorine and water went into my mouth, then it FLUSHED it felt gruesome and I think what is happening what is happening and that kept on going on in my mind. So that's what happened!
thanks for reading parts 2 and part 1 before
Please read part 3 now.
PART- 3 The monster under my bed.
Ahh!!!! You're probably wondering why I’m screaming, well I’ll tell you now. Hi I’m Sinead, Natasha and bridget’s friend and we are on a holiday in France in a hotel with our parents and my older brother Shaymus [ I regret it a lot ], I should get on with the story now. I was walking past my bed to get the first aid kit for Natasha because she grazed head while she was rolling down the stairs. I had just grabbed it when suddenly something grabbed my ankle. I was frozen with fear. I was so scared that I couldn’t scream or even move! About 3 seconds later I fell face first into the bed and I bit my lip really hard and it started bleeding. I finally managed to move so I gathered all my strength and courage (because i was so scared) and I looked under my bed and there I saw my annoying Brother Shaymus pulling a scary face. “ you are the most annoying person in the world!’’I Yelled “I know I am,” he said. He got out from under my bed and then I grabbed the first aid kit (still with goose bumps all over me because I got such a fright when he grabbed my leg), ran down the stairs and gave the kit to Natasha then she put a plaster on the top of her head!I didn’t tell her but it looked kind of funny. I grabbed a cloth from the kit and cleaned the blood from my lip because it was still bleeding. “ Was it fun rolling down the stairs like a boulder?’’ I asked Natasha. “yep “ she said “but now Bridget's head is stuck in the toilet and I have a bleeding forehead!”. We rushed to the toilet [ luckily the door was not locked ]and there we met Bridget with her head stuck in the toilet so we pulled her out. “Thanks guys!” She says. ”The taste of toilet water is disgusting and it doesn't smell too nice when someone just done their business in it!”

Natasha Council funding of required earthquake strengthening works to the Left Bank Art Gallery building
Kia ora,
My name is Natasha Lee and I am writing to you about the council funding of the strengthening works for the Left Bank Gallery.
I am supporting option 1
Option 1
|
To temporarily suspend the lease and fund the required earthquake strengthening works on the building to bring it to a minimum of 34% NBS.
|
Because this building is a great way to get more people to do art. Honestly, I think more people need to do art. When I was there I took an art class on water painting and there was more than a table full! It was a magical experience and I learned a thing or to. Another reason is because if we knock it down a historic building will be gone and tourists won’t be able to see it. Do you really want tourists to drive to Christchurch or Hokitika? Even I am willing to pay some money to restore this great historic building and I am only ten! I really think we don’t need another food place or a mall in Greymouth. We have already lost my favourite place in Greymouth, Toyworld and it is getting replaced. Greymouth is losing Historic building I hope this has changed your mind please understand me after all I am only ten!
Kind regards Natasha M Lee

Fighting is a bit of a weird topic to be writing about because it is bad in some ways and good in others but I will try my best to get both sides of the story so here we go.
Fighting, well some people think it is bad and others go with good. It is a sport, a defense, an attack and lots of other things but it is useful in any case. Well, there have been major fights or small fights the major ones are like…
- World wars
- Pushing people onto the train track when the train is coming
- Shooting people with guns and so on.
Now, this may seem more like bullying but these can turn into more major things.
The little things are mostly bullying like…
- Shoving people on the concrete
- Doing bad things back to the people that hurt you
- Having other people gang up and target one person and so on.
The good things are
- Defending yourself
- Marshal arts practice
- Helping others fight for their rights and much much more. The main thing is fighting can be good or bad but I do believe that fighting is good for many reasons because most people are good and use fighting skills wisely, don’t use it on others and have fun!
