Joseph's writing -Iron Man

Iron man 

Iron man was a great big metal machine. He went around people's farms eating all the machinery on their farms. The people realised that all their machinery was gone and they had had enough! They set a trap for Iron man. The men and women dug a deep hole in the ground and covered it up with branches and sticks. Then they put a truck on the branches and sticks. When iron man comes he will see the truck and go to get the truck and he will fall into the hole. Iron man doesn't fall into the hole. He reaches over the hole and grabs the truck and eats it right away.

The people called the army. The army got all the best men and women and missiles. The people did not know Iron man's powers and his powers are regeneration. So if he gets blown up all of his parts will come back to him. The people think Iron man is a bad alien but he is not bad. Iron man just wants to live a peaceful life.

Iron man comes from the planet of Ferrous. The planet is completely made of Iron and there is always plenty to eat and there are lava lakes. Iron man went to earth to find more iron even though they have enough iron already. Why would they need more Iron? Maybe they need iron for homes or they need iron to make more iron men and women and children? (Find out in iron man 2)

The Flying Flag

Itro

I Emma would not like to change the flag and here are the reasons why.

Reasons why i don't what to change the flag

I don't what to change the flag because the people fort in war for that flag, also i like that design.although australian flag is quite similar it's still a big difference to me. australia are changing  their flag to so we don't need to.it's a waste of money to because we should spend it on malonea because it is getting worse.just because 53 commonwealth changed their flag doesn't mean we should change it two.if we  change our flag we might not be special anymore.

Professional

When I am older I want to be a professional football player like Messi and Ronaldo. Every day I wish for it. I like playing because I play every day. I normally play with my neighbor Flynn. He's only five but he is still really good. We like to play penalty shootout. Lots of my other friends like playing football. 

My other favourite sport is cricket. I love batting. I have to wear lots of protective gear. I normally like to hit them big. I think the black caps are the best. My friend Jordan mills had an uncle in the team called Kyle mills. Once I got player of the year.

Nina- Flag vote

Why we should not change the flag

Here I am standing in front of you telling you why we should not change the flag.

Why change the flag, so you say it looks to much like the Australian flag and that mean we have to change it. I think that all of this is just a joke. Well here are some reasons why.

1.John key has wasted more than 26 million bucks just for permission and if that was just for permission guess how much money it would be for the flag, plus they have to go through all the votes and what if it's a tie, chose the old one.

2.Why doesn't John key care about the ill children in hospital and why doesn't he care about cancer, melanoma and shingles, all the sicknesses that he doesn't have. Why?

3. Does John key just want to be known for something?. why does he think he's got a better thought the rest of us, yes we know he is prime-minister of New Zealand but that doesn't mean anything, It doesn't mean that he is better than us.

4. This current flag has been made before is was born probably before anyone in this room was born, probably before John key was born. So what was wrong with it?

5.What was wrong with the flag. Did Australia say we couldn't have it, No. So what was the point of changing it. It was John keys idea.

6. So the main point was that we changed the flag just because it look like the Australian one and guess what, Australia is now changing their own flag so can't we forget all about this and go back to the United Jack.

7.Some soldiers had their life on this flag and I think if they were still here they wouldn't want to Change it, like some of us here in NZ.

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a second thought about the Flag vote

Kate's family tree

James: Why we shouldn't change the flag

I think we should keep the flag because it's a waste of money.instead they should give it to charity's and poor people. Sir Edmund Hillary put this flag on Mt Everest and if we change it that flag will still be up there but it won't represent NZ. All of the soldiers thought in the war with that same flag which is very special and important. It has also been held up a lot in the olympics. Also Australia going to change their flag. And if we have the Union Jack that means we are part of the British treaty.

By James

Why we should keep the flag- by Zara

I think we should keep the flag because we have grown up with it and we feel contented with it and the flag hasn't changed since 1902 so that shows we are a country who is proud of their flag and wants to keep it as long as they can. We should also keep it because it represents the country that our soldiers fort and died for. I think we should also keep it because it would waste a lot of money which could be spent on different things like on houses for poor people or better learning facilities for kids at school. I think we Should also keep it because it reminds us of our events and achievements from the past. I think we should keep it because it shows our relation to Britten witch gave us respect for the law and to be judged Fairly. I also think we should keep it so when we get married and have kid they can say they have a really cool country because our flag is so old even to prove it was made it 1902. By Zara

Brookes writing- the little goldfish

The little goldfish- free writing

Long ago there was a little goldfish named Bertram, he was a free goldfish because he lived in the ocean. Bertram was 3 years old in human years and 56 in goldfish. He had a orange body and a white tail with a pink face. 

One day Bertram went on a adventure to find some friends because he was very lonely , on the way he spotted a humongous castle but Bertram made the wrong decision to go inside...

Inside the castle there were several cobwebs with about 6 spiders on them. He entered another room and there was a massive tank full of little big sharks. The sharks saw Bertram and pushed as hard as they could to break the tank to get to Bertram and it worked. Bertram swam as fast as he could but the Sharks were too fast and he got eaten, but the good thing is that after a while he came out as seaweed at the bottom of the ocean. 

Bertram felt very good actually because there were lots of sea animals and if they were small animals they could hide in or behind Bertram. He could also live forever if the killer whale doesn't come around because they eat seaweed but of they are really hungry they eat anything in their sight.

Zoe's Myth-Hexthe flying book

Hex is a book. He is not just an ordinary book he is a flying book oh and he also talks too.

One day he found a book in Lucy's cupboard and he liked the look of the book. So he opened it and started to read it. He wondered why it had words in the pages and why he did not have words in his blank pages. 

He read and read for hours on end. Then Lucy came home and shouted ’’ Hex I am home ‘’ she said. Immediately he shut the book raced down stairs and asked Lucy a question ‘’Why do other books have words in their pages and I don’t’’ Hex said. Lucy replied and said ‘’let's not talk about it okay’’ said Lucy. ‘’okay’’ replied Hex. 

That night Hex went back to the cupboard and the other book that he read before said ‘’why did you read me last night’’ she said. Well that is because I wonder why Lucy does not wright in me and why you have words on your pages’’ Hex said. ’’ The reason that is is because you can fly and talk and I only talk by words in my book’’ said the other book. ‘’Okay talk to you tomorrow’’ Hex sied

The next morning hex got a pen and got to work. Then after he write a page or 2 Lucy found him and said’’ what are you doing I am supposed to write in your pages not you’’ she shouted ‘’well I was just wondering when does the shopping come’’ Hex replied

‘’ Stop changing the subjects Hex you know that is not allowed and I did not order any shopping anyways’’ Lucy said

‘’Then can you please write in me because I want a to life a normal life’’ Hex replied

‘’Fine I will but you promise me you will not do this ever again.’’ Lucy said.

‘’Okay.’’ Hex said.

So that is how books came to life and that Hex learned a lesson.

THE END!

How the tiger got its stripes

Thursday 3 March

How the tiger got its stripes

Once upon a time many years back when thing were different to what they are now. Like the tiger was pink, the ants were giant and the animals could talk and  there was a big party that made all of this happen.

One night miss and mr lion invited all of the jungle animals to their BIG party even miss and mr tiger went but they were the ones that wanted to have the best outfit so they had a nice long bath in the clearest, sparklest water in the jungle. Then they had to chose what to where.

So miss and mr tiger set to work trying on different colors of paint like mr tiger tried to paint half of his body red and the other half blue but he didn't like that so then miss tiger tried to paint dots all over her but she didn't like that so then they sat down and had a LONG think.

Finally mr tiger came up with a idea that they would paint themselves orange with black strips. Miss tiger loved the idea so much that they got to work shate away. First mr tiger painted miss tiger orange and well that was drying miss tiger painted mr tiger orange. Then they painted the stripes on. They thought they loved it so much that they kept themselves hidden so it would shine out at the party.

Finally the party came. They got to show their outfits of to the other animals! When they got there it was already very crowded but as soon as they walked in the gates everyone stopped talking and stared at them. Then mr and miss tiger got crowded with people asking questions like how did you do that and WOW can I copy you!

Finally when the party was over they went to sleep. The next day they woke up to see all the other tigers painted as they were so they thought that all the other tigers must of liked it so much that they copped it. After a few days after every tiger in the world was like that but there was one slight problem they had had the paint on so long that it had soaked into there hair and thehy could not get it of. So that is how the tiger got its stripes. THE END

Tayla's flag persuasion

I think we should keep the new zealand flag because it has been in nz for a long time and the war people wear it in the war and the war people don't want to change it and i think it is no point of changing it because it is worth a lot of money and i like the nz flag i  am not up for the change because i like the nz flag i don't want to cage it i am angry that the started this debate anyway it is really dumb that they started this so that's why i think we should not change the flag so if you want to change that fls then go ahead because it is a very special flag but i stick up for the people that don't want to change the flag that's why i don't want to change the nz  flag 

 

Brooke- current flag persuasion

Why we should keep the current flag!

I want to tell you why John Key should change his mind and go back to the current flag. I have three persuasive reasons why we should keep our flag and they are…the soldiers went to war with the flag , the treaty of Waitangi will be broken and lastly John Key is wasting a lot of money. Australia is going to change their flag anyway. If we change the flag it will break our history. 

Firstly, the soldiers took our flag to war because they wanted to represent our country and flag, and they fought for New Zealand. The current flag is shown up at all RSA’s to show that the flag went to war and the soldiers still believe in our flag. If we change the flag all the books and photos of the current flag with be taken down and there will probably be no pictures because they are all based on our CURRENT FLAG!

Secondly, the treaty of Waitangi will be broken to bits and ripped up. The people that signed the flag will be heartbroken and we will have to get them back again and sign the treaty. But the people that signed it might of passed away and there will be no Waitangi Day or treaty of Waitangi to look at again. The Bay of Island will be very empty and there will be no point to go there. That's why we should keep our CURRENT FLAG!

Lastly, John Key the prime minister is wasting loads of money and he could be spending it on better things like charities, education or hospitals and medicine to keep people alive if they have diseases or anything bad. One question, does John Key want to be known for something? Does he want to be known for something that will make him famous? People have melanoma and they need help really FAST. I think John Key is really silly to change the flag.

John Key is making a wrong decision but that is my opinion. He has been on TV and everything but it's too late to stop him anyway. I really hope nearly everyone wants to keep the current flag NOT the new one. I hope to see John Key and tell him my thoughts and this story. Those are my reasons why we have to keep the CURRENT FLAG!! Thank you for reading my persuasion. GO CURRENT FLAG!!!
