Do You Think That Trees Are Important.

This week for writing we have been doing our speeches. We did speeches because it was the time of the term that we had to do speeches. We had to write our speeches and then we had to present them to the school because it was the speech semi finals. I liked writing this task because my topic was trees and trees are a really cool topic. Did you like my post about mister wolf guilty? Next time This is my story below. I hope you like it.

Every second, somewhere in the world a soccer field amount of trees is cut down. I strongly believe that people should stop cutting down trees.  I will tell you where air comes from and why trees are important for this. They give us fruit and tyres for our cars. Leaves on trees can change colour. Listen up and I will convince you that we have to save the trees and save our environment!

Firstly, I strongly believe that people should stop cutting down trees because trees provide us with oxygen so that we can live. They take the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and that is made by cars and factories, and trees turn it into oxygen. In other words, trees breathe in carbon dioxide, and breathe out oxygen. The opposite of what humans do. This process is called photosynthesis. If we keep cutting trees down, we will eventually have only a little bit of oxygen left and too much carbon dioxide, which is bad for us and the environment. I think people should stop cutting trees down. Don’t you?

Secondly, trees can provide fruit and I think that fruit trees are very important for us. Do you like fruit? Trees provide apples, oranges, bananas, coconuts and apricots. All of these come from trees. If we cut down all of the fruit trees we won’t have any healthy food for us. Can you imagine the world with no fruit? That would be terrible. Because fruit trees are trees, they can also provide oxygen for us. That makes them important for the world in two different ways. So we have to look after our trees for two reasons.

Thirdly, I think that trees are beautiful and very cool? Do you? Well I do and I want to convince you to think that they're cool. Because they are. In autumn their leaves can change from green to orange to yellow to red and lots of different colours. Trees can only change colour in autumn and winter. Trees that change colour are called deciduous trees. The changing colour is the leaves dying and the tree starting to hibernate for the winter. Some trees never change colours. They just stay green. These trees are called evergreen trees and I guess you know what that means. Trees can start to bloom in spring and if you haven’t seen a blossom tree I highly recommend you look out for it at the moment. I think this is an amazing example of God’s beautiful creation.

In this piece of writing I have stated where air comes from, that they can give us fruit and how trees are cool in autumn. Now look out there at our beautiful trees. Do you still want to cut trees down? I don’t, and I hope I have convinced you not to cut trees down.

The Glossy Green Island

We have been learning how write descriptively. We learnt this so that we can write other descriptive pieces in the future. I enjoyed picturing myself on the island and I found it tricky to find the right words to write into my story. Next time I would change the topic and maybe use different describing words. 

When I am sitting on the island I can smell the fragrant coconuts wafting up my nose. The coconut smells like the fresh green leaf that it came out of. It  smells of the milky cream coconut milk that’s inside.

The tropical fish glide through the water and the only thing that they leave behind is a little ripple in the water that the sun reflects and makes the sky shine bright rays of light. The two short trees sway hurriedly above me.


Far in the distance I can hear the roaring motor of a grey tourist boat slowly coming closer. The breeze rustles the trees and the trees start swaying violently like there's something lurking about. The water is swirling gently and calmly. The parrots were squawking loudly and it is annoying. The parrots were emerald green and garnet red.


The hard rocks were warm against the cold breeze and the soft rug that I set up was warm. The soft grass was spiky green and was icy cold.


When I jump in the water it’s really warm and it tastes very salty and it was not pleasant. The fresh air fills my gasping lungs. This island is green, viridescent and gigantic.

My tidy bedroom!

  This week we have been writing about our bedroom and writing a description. This is my description of my room I hope you like it. I found it difficult write some of the descriptions. 


My favourite part about my room is that it is warm and clean, Unlike my sisters.

It is also dark and peaceful. But my favorite part is that when

I open my window and the smell of pollen comes in.

It is also dark and peaceful. But my favorite part is that when

I open my window the smell of pollen comes in, You can also hear the birds chirping

the sound is very soothing.


I think the shape of my room is weird because it has an angled roof and a

cupboard that’s built in, but overall I think it is really different. There is also

carpet instead of floor which is really soft. My bed is short and bouncy But when I bounce I hit my head on the roof. I also have a mirror at the

end of my bed which is nice because I can see myself in the morning.


I think my room is the tidiest room in the house,

my family also think it is tidy. In the mornings I make my beb neatly and

get dressed. In my cupboard there is a heat lamp that makes it really

hot when I’m reading, but it's nice when it’s cold.


I like my bedroom because it looks clean and with the view it is all so

beautiful. It smells strongly of pollen and sometimes at night I can

hear mauporks hosting, the sound is very soft and it puts me to

sleep straight away. I always say to my mum I love it.


Even Tho my room is the smallest it’s the best.

I think my room is great and I love it. I want to keep my room forever.

The marae visit

 


Hi bloggers. Last week on friday we went to a marae. At rest time me and my friend played chess and your going to find out what we did for chess and who won. I hope you enjoy what we did for rest time. 



Me and my friend slowly walked to the wharenui to play chess. We were at Takipu marae where there were lots of bugs and grass. It was a boiling hot day at the marae. Year thima and ono were at a sleepover at the marae.


When we were at the wharae kai we sat down and set the board up so we could play. We started playing and I almost straight away I got a pawn out. It was only my first time playing and my friend had been playing for a long time. I was very proud of myself.


When we were halfway through the game, My king was in alot of danger. I was thinking really hard. What was I going to do. I finally made my move and saved my king by just a whisker.I sighed. I was relieved.


Suddenly, Without me noticing my queen was right by his king. I shouted “ Cheek mate.” We set the board back up so we could play again. We made our first moves then we had a pause to talk for a minute.When we moved the players they made a tap tap noise on the board. My king was right in front of his king already.


I made my move, I had won, I shouted. I was feeling more than excited! I had got a victory and it was my first time playing. I explained To my friend I am definitely going to play chess again!
