Kea Patrol

I strongly believe that there should be kea patrol in the afternoon. I
think this because some schools are near a State Highway and it will
make the school busier if there wasn’t a kea patrol The bright neon signs
are good to stop the traffik. You don't have to wore when walking across
the rood.

It is obvious that the State Highway is busy and accidents happen.
Outside our school we have had car crashes and people getting hit
by cars. With the support from the kea patrol it doesn't just stop the
risk of getting hit but gives parents safer spot to pick up and drop off.
This helps in preventing car crashes.

Everyone would agree that without the kea patrol it would make
the school busier after 3 o'clock. It is more dangerous with cars
pulling out and doing U turns. Younger kids are just learning road
safety around crossing busy roads. . Excited kids rushing to get to sports
and other commitments are often playing around not thinking about
the dangerous road.

You must know that we have bright neon signs that say ‘Stop’!
Then the traffic has to stop and if they go through the signs
they get reported to the pilece. I agree with the signs and the
process of the road crossing at 3 o’clock.

Although there is a busy, dangerous, obnoxious road, don't worry.
Here comes kea patrol marching down the hill with the bright,
neon signs to save your worries.

On Thursday it was raining and we found interesting things like blue mushrooms and big fungus. We made a bivvy and had lunch in it .

Sweat dripping down my face, Plop!

As I jump for the rebound

Crowd went silent

As I get the ball

I shoot up the court

Pounding the ball into the

Crackling wood

Boom! I pull up to the three point line

With a sceeeek from my boots

With one second to shoot

I shoot... Swish!

The crowd goes wild.

Abel Tasman and the Taniwhas

Abel Tasman and the Taniwhas

One misty morning a big, strong taniwha, named Aungarea, was playing and jumping
slowly in and out of the salty sea, showing off his red, spicy scales. He was with his best
friend, Hohoro, who was also a taniwha. but a small, black ninja like taniwha who was
showing off his silky skin. But then Hohoro saw a ginormous waka with his super vision, it
was heading towards Haast.

They swam very fast back to the village where they decided to follow the ginormous waka
all the way to Haast. Even though Hohoro and Aungarea did not understand the language of
Abel Tasman and his crew they were interested in the story and kept following them back to
the village in what is now known as Greymouth. Aungarea then said to Hohoro, “You cannot
come with me, it is too risky.” But there was no fighting back for Hohoro. Aungarea was too
strong for him.

Aungarea set off with the ship. He didn't know that Hohoro was following the ship up the
South Island, west of Nelson, where the ship stopped short of land and set anchor. That's
where Aungarea found Hohoro. He saw the tribe on shore coming so he took Hohoro to shore,
where they both saw the Māori doing a challenge.

Abel Tasman and his crew just partied all night, firing the cannons because they found people
to trade with. That night the fires were roaring and the Māori were getting ready for war. In the
morning the Māori sent their best fighters to attack but it was a misunderstanding with both
languages.

Abel Tasman sent his best dealer, with the best handshake, out to meet the fighters, plus
Aungarea and Hohoro who were helping the fighters. The dealer got slaughtered and they
went for the ship. Then the ship went back to find Australia, to balance the Earth.

No one has ever seen Aungarea and Hohoro since the attack except me. I see them every night
from my house.
