We should not eat fast food. By Liana

We should not eat fast food

We should not eat fast food because it is not healthy for our bodies. It has heaps of fat and sugar. Fast food can lead us to cancer and diabetes. If you eat too much fast food it can make you sick by eating and drinking heaps of sour sugar. Fast food doesn’t have long lasting energy because of all those unhealthy ingredients. Ingredients such as some delicious chewy lettuce, onion and tomatoes foods that give us that long lasting energy. Fast food can make you have diseases if you eat heaps of salty fries & burgers. 

Fast food is really expensive for example if you want a meal. If you buy fast food for many months or weeks you might end up having no money. If we spend all our money on fast food we won’t be able to buy clothes, shoes, products and we also won’t be able to pay the bills. 

Fast food isn’t a fabulous choice. It is not good for our bodies.

War for the Planet of the Apes by Liana

  War for the Planet of the Apes.

One cloudy afternoon in the holidays my Cousin, my Sister, my friend, me, my Uncle and Aunty went to the movies. We were going to watch Spider- man but the movie was booked out. I was so disappointed but we still watched War for the planet of the Apes. 

We patiently waited for our tickets. Soon everyone left the line so we gave our ticket to the lady and headed into the movie. I touched the hard bill boards that were hanging on the wall. While we were walking we found the door to our movie so we entered in. We went down to the front row. When we found our seats we sat down and waited for the ads to present the movie. I could smell the buttery popcorn. I was annoyed because someone was kicking my seat. 

After 2 hours we left and clapped. When the lights turned on we sat up because the movie was finished. We got out of the movie door and went downstairs to the arcade. We played all sorts of games like throwing some balls in the hoop to get more tickets. We also played Pac-man. If you beat the game you get 1500 tickets. Later we went to see how much tickets we had. We had 43 tickets. 

We left the movies and hopped in the car and we drove to McDonald’s. We all had a Triple cheese burger and a frozen blueberry Fanta. 

Going to the movies and McDonalds with my family was my favourite part of the holidays.

How do Maori celebrate Matariki? By Liana

How do Maori celebrate Matariki?

Matariki is a time to have a feast with whanau and friends. Maori people celebrate by singing and dancing. They welcome the stars back into the sky. They sing a prayer for the stars and have some kai (food).  People do karakias and hakas for the stars to remember people who have passed, they do prayers for the ones that have died. People also celebrate by eating kaimoana and kumara, they do feasts and craft some stars, kites, and patterns. The Matariki stars start the Maori new year and they all shine bright. If they do, it is good for growing crops and planting some seeds.

Trip to MOTAT! By Liana

                       The Trip to MOTAT

One cold and sunny morning it was Tuesday, and we were going to MOTAT. When the bell rang we grabbed our bags and our name tags then went straight on to the bus. When we got on the bus we straight away sat in a colourful seat. After seven minutes we arrived at another MOTAT where the airplanes were. 

We went inside and had a look around then sat down by some windows with the sun shining in. We had some lunch while we were sitting down. After our lunch we went into a classroom were there were activities we could do. Melissa our teacher, that was teaching us, had a projector that was teaching us about flight. She could tap the projector to change the slide. 

After the class lesson we did some experiments with paper, cardboard, water, string, tape, and a big balloon thing. There was a tube that had a fan underneath it. We had to craft some items to try and get it to spin in the middle. After that we went and looked at the planes and explored. After one hour we met up again and went to the old tram, that could still work. We went back to the original MOTAT. 

When we arrived , we had lunch at the  rotunda. We put our bags in a cage. After that, we went to explore what there was around MOTAT. Our group went to find the mirror maze but it was gone. We went to the robot game where you control the ball to the end of the maze. After the robot maze, we looked at the village which was creepy. There were mannequins that looked like real people. There were some rocking chairs that had dolls sitting on top  of them. 

After one hour we meet up again, then went in the tram and went back to the airplane MOTAT. We sat down and waited for the bus to come. After 5 minutes the bus arrived, we all jumped in and headed off to school. My favourite part was the village! 

It was a fabulous day to go to MOTAT!

How Does a Stapler Work! by Liana

How Does a Stapler Work

A stapler has a string that moves when you're trying to staple paper. If you have staples from your store put them in your stapler and put your paper under your stapler. If you hold down the top it will make a noise. When it makes that noise, slide the paper off the stapler. The staples are already attached on to the paper. The string pushes the staples and connects to the paper. 

A stapler has a iron background and a flat black plate at the start of a stapler. A stapler can make work easy. If you want to staple something, you can staple it. If your having trouble holding papers all day, you can grab three papers and staple them altogether until there's nothing left. Staplers are very helpful items.

My Birthday By Liana

My Birthday!

In my holiday it was the 15^th of April, my birthday. On my birthday in the morning me and my mum were talking about what we were going to do for my birthday. We finally decided that we are going to Denny’s. So we all got dressed and went to the car. We waited for my mum. When we went in the car, my mum was trying to find the certificate that has my birthday on it. That means my food would be all free. So after 3 minutes she found it. She got in the car and drove. When we arrived we went inside. The lady gave us a table and then I odder me some yummy pancakes and an Oreo milkshake. My sisters ordered their food and at last my mum ordered hers. We all waited for our food to be served. After a little while our food came. We ate it really, really slowly while we watched the fear fall shoot up and sink back down. After 10 minutes, we headed home. When we were there, there was a massive chocolate pig. I also had some other chocolate items. My mum went on to get some chocolates from her room and gave them to me. I thanked my mum and my sister for giving me the chocolates. Then I decorated the chocolate items. After a while we took pictures. It was a fabulous day!     

The Mangere Markets By Liana

The Mangere markets have some beautiful yellow bananas and lovely great vegetables such as potatoes. The markets smell like fresh, delicious fruit. Here at the markets there are some brilliant people that talk very speedy. There are some yummy leafy cauliflowers. The doors are slowly opening and the soft sweet breeze drifts in and wanders around. Beautiful chirping music enters into people’s ears.
