Wakatere speed writing

This morning we had to completed a speed writing challenge in 10 minutes. Here is my writing that I had to completed in just 10 minutes.


Tiaki Taonga means to care for other people and you show that you care for the people around you. You should always show that you care for other people around you cause if you are you are showing that you care for them. You should never judge the way people look like or sound like too. At Pt England school our number one thing we do is to treat everyone equally. If you are anywhere you should always show that you care for other people around you even if you don’t know them and they don’t know you you still need to show Tiaki Taonga caring. Never judge people about there looks even if they are not pretty you should not judge the way they look they are pretty in there on way. We always show that we are great role models. Tiaki Taonga show that you care for every body in the hole world.

Empathy

Title: Empathy

Hello I am going to tell you what empathy means to me. Empathy means to me that you care for one another and look out for each other. In our school the number one thing we do is to care for every body.


Empathy is to show that you care about the people around you. You should never judge the way people look. Empathy is when you show that you care about others not just yourself. If the whole word showed empathy then we would live in a caring word and every one would treat everybody the same way.

Empathy is important because if you are showing empathy you are showing that you care for them. I think being able to show empathy is important because then` people will know that you care about them. You should always show empathy because you are showing that you care for everybody. Being a ware of and sharing another people's feeling's experiences and emotion's.

On our netbook’s we learn how to do other things on it. We learn how to read and write on it to and we can discover new things we never knew before. On netbook's you can learn a lot of thing's.

Netbook’s a very deer they cost like $600. You can learn on it to. I really like my netbook I really do it’s awesome working on it. You could learn so much on netbook’s they are better then working on book's way mush better.

Nelson Mandela


Nelson Mandela was born on
July the 18th 1918. He died on December the 6th in 2013 he died at the age of 95. He had three wife's and five children. Throughout his life he had been arrested about three times. He became the first black president of South Africa.

Mandela was one child out of 13 brothers and sisters. His birth name was Rohihlahla which means trouble maker, when he attended a Christian Primary his teacher changed his name to Nelson and it stuck ever since. He was born into the Madiba clan in Mvezo. He attended Fort Hare University college but got expelled for joining a student protest, when he returned home people were furious and punished him with an arranged marriage but he ran away. 

Throughout his years of living he had been in jail for a total of three times. Nelson Mandela was arrested for trying to sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow the government. He served twenty-seven years in prison. There were ninety-three counts of terrorism against him.Mandela came out of the jail when south africa got independence from the white minorities.

He was released from prison on the 11th of February 1990. Nelson Mandela become president by the African national congress his political party.  

Following his release from prison on 11 of February 1990 Nelson Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. As president from 1994 to 1999, he frequently gave priority to reconciliation, while introducing policies aimed at combating poverty and inequality in South Africa.

I am not sure he changed the world but he did change some cold greedy hearts. He fought for change from prison for 27 years in South Africa. I think Nelson Mandela barge paces to the world.

Our School Cross Country

Yesterday on the 22nd our school had a Cross Country. We had groups like Mataatua (green), Te Arawa (red), Tainui (Blue) and Takitimu (yellow). The first one's to run was the 5 year olds then the 6 year olds. They had to run 1kilometre. The year 3s and 4s had to run 1.5. The 10 year olds had to run 2 laps, 2.5 kilometre. Than the year 7s had to run 2 laps, 3 kilometre and the year 8s had to run 2 laps, 3.5 kilometre. When we were waiting for the 10 year olds to finished there run we just had to stay in the sun and wait. Then Miss Nua told the year 8s and 7s to go in the shade. When the 10 year olds where nearly finished Miss Nua told us to go where the trees are. Then it was the year 7 girls time to run.

They had to get up and go to the staring line and wait for the alarm to ring. Once the alarm has rang the girls had to run. When the girls ran the year 7 boys had to go to the staring line and wait for the first girl to run throw the finish line. Then the first girl came throw the finish line sorry I do not the girls name. Then it was time for the year 7 boys time to run. When it was our torn we where all reedy. Then the alarm rang. We ran as fast as we can. We had to run 2 laps. Once around the field then we went throw the these pols to go to Pt England reserve and once around the bottom field. The we go throw the senior play ground  and  the go past the finished line then do it all over again. When we were done it was time for the year 8s time to run.

When I was nearly at the finishing line I almost fall were the pols where but I made it. When I was at the finish line and I was done I felt every happy and I was so proud of my self. I crossed the finish line with my friend Efilona. But I crossed be for her so we didn't cross the finish line to gather.

I liked the race because when I was running I got to jump in some deep poodles. Thats why I liked the run we had yesterday. When we were done our class room19 went back to the class room and we had to go home. We said our good byes and left. That was the coolest Cross Country run ever.
