Dear Prime Minister,

My name is Joshua, and I am a year 5 student from Pt England School. Pollution is everywhere! I think the problem needs to be fixed because all the animals are eating it and rubbish gets into the ocean and the fish eat it. So this needs to be fixed! Otherwise all sea life will die and maybe cause a chain reaction to many animals and us!

I think you can fix it by doing many things like making an pipe filter where rubbish goes a different direction before hitting the ocean. Or we could just place more rubbish bins around places. One other thing we could do is make a fine for whoever is caught littering. There could also be an event where kids pick up rubbish around NZ and the top 3 kids with the most rubbish in their bags get a chocolate bar or maybe some money.

You should do this because otherwise humans and many other animals may die faster than expected. The ocean life is already decreasing because of this! Crops are getting harder to grow and water is getting dirtier! I heard that there is actually small islands of rubbish in the ocean! You really have to do this John Key, thousands and maybe millions of people are arguing about this! Everything is affected by this pollution and there are so many people that are just so careless that they just keep littering! Many things and people have died just because of this. And most people don’t want to get smacked in the face by a plastic bag on the beach, or trip over a plastic bottle and fall into a pile of wood. Please with a cherry on top fix this!

Yours Sincerely, Joshua.

The Rio 2016 Olympics Have Started!!!

This Friday (Friday, 5 August 2016) something happened. An event that we were all waiting for... The Olympics Rio 2016 started! The olympics have gone from 1 event/sport to over 25! How cool is that? The Olympics have given out about 1000 medals! (all types) maybe even more!

Im mostly excited about the hurdles and who wins. Because the person who wins may be featured in my animation. The athlete i'm looking forward to is usain bolt. I want to see if he breaks the 100m men's record. Usain bolt, i’m cheering for you! The hurdles are actually my favourite sport in the olympics.

So altogether the olympics will be fun to watch and I wish good luck for the athletes competing this Olympics. YOU should watch it! (if you like sports) so bye! I hope you have a good time watching it!

The olympics are not really my thing so I probably won’t watch it. Unless if i’m forced to.

Descriptive olympic writing

Usain Bolt and other contestants were in a colossal stadium with a tremendous crowd cheering and shouting. Usain Bolt was getting ready to race in a 100m run. He was a little bit nervous but he was determined to win. Flashing cameras filled the stadium and the other contestants were almost ready to race.

The time has come. All the contestants got ready with their starting blocks. “Ready?... Set…BANG!” All the contestants ran with all their might. Usain Bolt was behind at first but then he darted across the track and got to the finish line in about 9.64 seconds.

Usain Bolt is panting on the ground and trying to get energy back. Eventually he got up and everybody was shouting and cheering and Usain Bolt was happy. He got another gold medal and he was very tired. The contestants that didn’t get a medal were very depressed. The crowd was taking even more photos than before. The noise grew louder and noisier as people cheered.

The time has come, people have trained for 4 years for the energy draining event. The Olympics is a tiring event that has many different sports. Over 10000 people come to watch. The Olympics has many sports such as swimming and weightlifting.

Information About Hurdles (Don’t bother reading if you already know)

Hurdles is a event that involves jumping and running. You have to jump over fence-like hurdles that block your way to the finish line. But you also have to sprint a long way at the same time. So speed and jump height is your main thing to train on if you are doing this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would compete in Hurdles because it seems to be the easiest event and also uses lots of energy. The hurdles also seem to use jumping skills which is something I have. The hurdles just seem to be the easy event altogether and it's also very hard yet again because you have to compete with other people. Although I like jumping and running around, I still think it’s quite hard unless you have the energy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I won in third, second, or first place I would represent New Zealand because that’s where most of my family were born. Why did I represent this country you ask? Well it’s simple. It’s all because I was born in NZ with my family and I like this country a lot. This is mainly also why I don’t like going to other countries. I think my family would be proud of me representing this country too.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that competing in the Olympics would be very fun and scary. Why? Well it’s because it feels like you have more than 100 families watching you. It’s also fun because some people would be cheering you on so you could win. If you won in first place you might be crying of joy and also everybody that wanted you to win would cheer. Altogether, if you are shy, competing in the Olympics may not be your best choice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Olympic games are really tiring but fun at the same time. Just remember that winning isn’t the goal. The goal is to do your hardest and be proud of how well you do. The olympic games have other events than just hurdles too. So if you don’t like hurdles you can search up Olympic Game Sports The Olympic games are altogether very fun to watch, or compete in.
