Ancestors

My Beautiful Ancestors...

I am a Cook Island Maori Princess not a Queen,

But a daughter who is loving `

Who is desperate to share.

Yes Indeed! Who has a fear of heights and in front of a large audience

I feel the Courage, Hope, Faith, and Strength of my ancestors taking away my troubles and doubts.

My Cook Island ancestors are the mighty shield protecting me from the outside world,

Protecting me from criminals.

They are the ruler that will never snap,

The cookies that will always be in the jar,

Ukuleles that will always be tuned for the young generation.

My Maori ancestors are the wind whispering directions to make the right path come my way.

They are the ink of a whanau pen never running out,

The artwork that will be straight and solid to look at with comfort.

The stars that will never stop shining bright like a diamond.

The waiata that will give me courage to stand strong.

I hope with what I achieve in life will impress my ancestors to the point where they are singing my praises,

fighting for me in battle,

                            cheering for me and crying tears of joy instead of sorrow.

Work

Today is Tuakana Teina day with room 4.This means coming together and working with a student from another class the buddy that I’m working with is Fine she thinks that netbooks are cool because we don't have to write on books and when we write on a book it hurts our hands.It's cool having a netbook because its easier to write then writing on a book.our teacher won't have to check our books all the time.All we have to do is share our work to our teacher so she can mark our work

easier.

Persuasive Argument

Should it be compulsory to wear a helmet when riding a bike ?

Yes they should because..

first they could fall and crack there heard for not wearing a helmet

secondly they think there cool not wearing a helmet

third you may get pulled up from the police and get a fine.

This is why they should wear helmets

Should people who live in the city be allowed to drive 4x4 vehicles ?

Yes they should because..

First they have a ride to go work/to there job

Second there good looking and people might think there rich

Third

Thinking Hats

Persuasive Argument

Should children be out allowed out on their own after 7pm ?

No they shouldn’t because...

One they might get kidnapped and the parents might get worried

Two It will be too dark and cold for the kids to play

Three they might get into a fight or ambush to death

fourth The police might bring the kids home for stealing

This is why I think children should not go out after 7pm

should children be allowed to have television in their bedrooms ?

No they shouldn't because...

One they might stay up too late and go school tired

two they would sit down and won't clean up

three they might believe in shooting like dragon ball ze

and think its cool but really people die from shooting

fourth they might play fight and smash the screen

This is why they shouldn’t be allowed to have a television in their room
