Month: June 2023

I Continue from school walking home exhausted. I discover a fountain thinking “Could that be a wishing fountain?” I empty my pockets. Do I have any money? I have none. Just when my luck was about to run out, I stepped on something. Clink!. “A Coin, what a coincidence”. I reach out my hand to grab it. “What should I wish for?” I kiss the coin hoping for luck and toss it into the fountain, “bop”. The coin disappears landing on the floor of the fountain. Where the water flows heavily around the coin. The water takes the coin to an open drain flushing the coin. Vanishing from sight. Nothing happened, I walked away sighing. I was about to open the doorknob to my home, as I was about to enter, something pulled me, I was forced back towards the fountain. Seeing someone over on the other side. It was a girl, she looked shy. I looked if there was anyone else around her. No one was there. I felt connected. I knew…she was the love of my life.

To Prime Minister Jacques Chirac

Bonjour! How was your day!

I hope you find yourself in a calming manner. Hopefully… You may want to take a seat while reading this letter as it may anger you a little. I am currently contacting you due to my utmost concern. 

I would gladly advise you to cancel daily bombing dates or any future ones because of the fact that YOU are harming the Pacific Islands like the Mururoa Atoll. The radiation could cause diseases such as cancer, disabilities in children and many more diseases that lead to DEATH! People find it very hard suffering from the illnesses they now have. 

Is it legal to do this in the area? It causes damage in the area and also affects the citizens of the Island as well as nature. The water that is radiated is toxic and the sea creatures endangered leaving all of humanity to suffer. Other food sources too!!… like vegetables and fruit that are in contaminated soil because of the fall out travelling in the wind. 

Please don’t ask me why again, I have already told you that it’s risking the life of our land and living organisms around your nuclear testing locations. 

Please respond.
Thank you and have a blessed day.

Au revoir.
Yours Sincerely,

The Pacific Nations 

On our last day for Epro 8, Room 8 had to build an Ultimate playground which was going to be fun. We listed ideas of what kind of playgrounds we were going to create. We had the usual swings, merry go rounds and a seesaw which were all fully functional.

Another year to hone in on our engineering skills. Problem solving and experience through science and engineering. We used Red joiners, Blue Joiners, axles, ropes and other Items to create our Dump Truck. We watched a tutorial video to build a lever that would lift the bed so it fulfilled the ‘Dump’ criteria!!

People angrily protesting

Yelling, Murmuring

Anxious and Careful

Nervous, Scared and cold

Seagulls flying above our heads

Clouds turning grey

The annoying squawks irritate me

Big mad waves thrashing around,

gushing through the sea.

In mathematics we learned how to measure angles by using Protractors. After taping the tables with masking tape, angles were measured, marked and checked for accuracy. The tape was thick, so the angles didn’t end up equaling 360 degrees. Mrs George taught us that the interior angles of a triangle always added up to 180 degrees. It was quite incredible

Dear T

Hey T, that was an awesome night man, I had fun at the parking lot and…

Hey Thanks for the beers by the way. (I gave them to my cousin)

I’ve noticed you avoiding your home, trying to fit in a new family, and losing your room and missing Dave. Dude you’re better than this, you have to move from the past and be happy for others. I got your back to you I’m always gonna be there for you… well not always but you know what I mean. If you are not comfortable with trusting your word, then here are some tips of advice. Whenever I’m stressed, I find that playing video games helps me to calm down. Instead of focusing on the stuff that makes you unhappy, push those thoughts aside and focus on the stuff that makes you happy. You are welcome to crash at my place anytime and my Mom and I are happy to help you.

From your Dear Friend Jack

For R.E we have been learning about our advocates, someone who is a voice for others.

I have chosen Ruby Bridges who is currently the chair of her foundation… The Ruby Bridges Foundation.

How can I be an advocate, Kai korero like Jesus?

To be an advocate like Jesus I know I must care for the people who are troubled and don’t have the same opportunity as me. I will show respect and provide support in my own way. I have to be able to listen to those who are needed and to show concern for their problems. I need to be fair and encourage them to succeed in life so they can fulfill happiness.
