I would much rather have theme music play when I walk. Because I can just fast-walk and slow-walk around. Also if you choose the other one people will know what your mood is and imagine if you walked past someone you like like music would play. And also music would play all the time because you always have a mood but if you just don’t walk then the music won’t play.
I would rather have cheetos because I like cheetos more than orange juice, and orange juice would kill the plants, and the sea life. And we would also never have fresh water, because it would all be orange juice.
It can also feed the homeless. Orange juice is also sticky and yucky, while cheetos are just cheetos. And orange juice would also kill the plants. So yes these are my reasons that I would rather have cheeto snow than orange juice rain.
I met all my new classmates and made new friends Lauren, Ava, Emma and Ivana. I did swimming sports and athletics. I learnt in that term way more than what I learnt in a year at my old school. Especially in math. I really enjoyed my new teacher. And overall it was a good term. In the first term we did woodwork and art. In the woodwork we made a desk organizer and in art we made self portraits which was ok.
In the second term we did drama and music.
We went to koru games, and we stayed at Glenroy. I had a room with Isla, Zoe and Alice. I was in the netball group. We placed 20th out of 30 something. Also netball had started and I was in the white team. We made it to the semi finals and then lost to the blue team. We also started term 3 writing to improve our writing. And in term 3 we did text styles and sport which was fun and I made a bag.
Essie, my friend from old school, joined. We are going to do this sleepover when the class stays at school. And we’ll do an activity day and a hapu sports day. I have improved in my writing and my reading from term 1. In this term we did cooking and te reo which are fun and yummy.
For 2026
To all my grades to be above average. To make new friends. To make it into netball again for koru games.
My goal is to not use as much I’s, like Ava said.
“Haha!”, outside of the house on the porch four people sat down drinking wine and bread not knowing that their chiefs were planning.
The three lobsters worked, cooking pots full of stew and delicious soups. They had waited for this exact moment so they could leave this prison. Because they were cooking stew a lot of steam and smoke had to be let out so the people opened the window just a crack but small enough to let the lobster out. When the people were distracted they grabbed some fabric hanging near the door, it was checkered red and white. The first lobster climbed up onto the window sill and chucked it out of the window. While the first lobster climbed down the other two were holding the fabric so it wouldn’t fall.
The laughing was loud now. “He, and the other day…”, but the third one was finally done and then they fled. They sprinted down the alleyway trying to find the scent of their home. One of the lobster gestured to the others. “I think it’s this way”, it squeaked. So they ran until they saw it. The beautiful ocean, stars and the moon glinted off it and the lobster screamed with happiness. “We’re home!”, they yelled in unison. And sprinted across the sands into the cool water.
The coach of my group pushed the raft into the rushing white water. “Alright guys hop in”, the leader Frank said. Me and my 4 friends jumped in the bright yellow raft and picked up the 5 paddles for us. “Okay guys so hold the paddle like this”, he showed us. He then proceeded to show us how to paddle and what to do if someone fell out. “Can we just go”, Janette whined. “Alright guys get ready”.
He pushed us from the bank and into the white water. It dragged us with it. “Okay so guys you don’t have to paddle as much because well”, Frank pointed to the water viciously taking us. “But now”, as the fierce current subsided and disappeared to a slow field of dark looking water. “We paddle!”. He shoved the paddle into the water, it looked like the paddle was a part of his arm as he pushed it through the water. We all followed in sync. It was tiring but I really liked it.
“Okay guys get ready this bit is pretty hard”, We all held our paddle tight and got mentally prepared. “Whoah”, the whole raft shook as we hit a rock. All of a sudden we were playing Bumper karts and we were hitting rocks left, right and centre. Splash! We went down a massive rock/waterfall. We all got splashed and Soph nearly fell out! “You guys alright?”, Frank said as we got to quieter waters. “YES”, we all replied. “I wanna do it again”, Charlotte said excitedly. “Yeah, same!”Amelia agreed. We all were cold but so pumped and joyful. “Woaho”, Suddenly Janette fell in.
“Agh! Help me!!!”, she screamed. We reached out for paddles but she was already too far. Frank fumbled around in a bag. He pulled out a life saver and chucked it over to Janette. Thankfully she caught it and hugged it like her life depended on it. Frank pulled her in and she climbed in shivering. “That was so scary”, she whimpered. “I thought I was gonna die!”. “You weren’t gonna die”, Charlotte said. We all recovered from Janette’s accident by having hot chocolate and marshmallows. Waiting for the river got furious again. “Ok guys in a few minutes we’re gonna go down a bit of a waterfall and then we will finish at a bridge”. “AWWW!”, I said, “Are we finishing soon?”. “Yes I’m sorry girls”, Frank said apologetically. “Alright guys get ready!”.
The current started to pick up rapidly and the smooth waters turned into fast flowing whiteness. “HOLD ON!” Frank cried. Splash! We went right off the side of a boulder and landed right under a waterfall. All of us got sprayed with ice cold water and got saturated. We all started to laugh and it was so funny! All of a sudden we saw the bridge. And all of us went into depression. We didn’t want it to end. It was so fun! We paddle to the river bank and pulled the raft onto the sand and mud. “Did you like that girls?” Frank asked. “YES!”, we all screamed. “Do you wanna do it again?”, “YES!!”, we screamed even louder this time. “Ok lets do it again!”.
“Wake up!”, My brother was screaming at me. He slapped me across the face. “Ow”, I cried, as I lunged out of bed and punched him. “What was that for?”. “THE SANDSTORM HERE!”, he yelled and then went quiet. I could hear it now, vicious wind slapped the mud walls of our home. Sand was burying our feet already and distant screams could be heard. “Where’s mum?”, I said worriedly. “Thats the thing, I can’t find her!”, “What I turned to him as we were making our way to the door. “Yeah she disappeared”, “Oh no”, I said.
The sand was even higher near the door. Me, who was shorter than my brother, was up to my knees. “OW my eyes”, Jacob said as sand from the storm went straight into his eyes. His brown mop flowing everywhere. He pulled me back into the safety of the house. “We need something for our eyes”, he said, his warm brown eyes blinking rapidly. “What about a sheet?”, I suggested, “We could hold it over our eyes and our heads?”, “Ok I guess that could work”, he said, shuffling through the sand to his bedroom. The golden grains were grown higher each minute. I pulled my fingers through the sand. It was soft and warm, but hard to walk through.
“Here”, he pulled a blanket off his bed and put it over our heads. We pulled our legs higher in the sand and Jacob had to duck through every doorway. “Ok get ready”, he said as we neared the entrance. “Whoah”, I gasped as strong winds tried to pull me away. We trudged through the storm a few sands got through our fortress but it was nothing compared to out there. From time to time we would have to squint and look forward to seeing where we were going. “We need to go to the sandstorm meeting place”, I said looking at Jacob. “Where do you think we’re going?”he said, ducking his head under the sheet to see where we were going. “Ok, mister snappy”, I said.
“HELLO!”, Jacob screamed out as we got close to the meeting place. “Hello”, something whispered in the wind. “We nearly there”, he said strongly and we both trudged on even faster. “HELLO ANYONE OUT THERE”, a ruff sounding voice yelled. “Aiden!”, me and Jacob both said to each other. We stumbled until a small little semi circle poked out of the ground. There standing in the doorway was Aiden the biggest and strongest guy in the village and Arlo the old little leader. “Jacob, Izzy?, is that you”, Arlo called. “Yes!”, I screamed and we both lunged ourselves over letting go of the sheet that got ripped away from us. I burst into tears of joy. “Where’s mum”, I croaked. “She’s in the bunker with everyone else.” We ran down the stairs and there at the entrance getting comforted by other women, was mum.
“MUM!”I yelled and jumped on her. “Honeys!”, she screamed and brought both of us into a hug. “Oh my god I thought I lost”, Mum said. Squeezing us harder. “I went to see your father’s grave and suddenly the storm started. I tried to make my way to you guys but a few girls pulled me here and said that you guys would make it here”. She took another breath. “And it looks like you did!”. “You guys are now safe”. She said and kissed us both. Out of exhaustion I fell into a dreamless sleep in mum’s arms.
Be honest even though it would hurt someone’s feelings, I still have plenty of other friends. And I wouldn’t want to lie. Even though it would hurt there feelings I would hope they would understand.
Would you rather Cats or Dogs?
Definitely cats! They are so much cuter. There fluffy, not smelly and easy to pick up. And dogs are so much more vicious, they can kill their owners and have killed over 30,000 people globally. So that is why I love cats so much and I have to perfect cats of my own.
I read The Wild Deer Debate and created this video with Adobe Express.
