My best dad ever!!!!!

My dad is the best dad ever because he helps me with my school work and we clean the house together. “It’s fun”. He will come to my games and support me and my team. He is very cheerful and supportive. He doesn’t embarrass me in front of my friends and makes me feel ashame about anything. I love hanging around with my dad especially going shopping because we like the same thing such as sweets. He is cool and fun to be with. I am thankful for my dad for being who his is an AWESOME DAD. And I love him so much.

"My Role Model"

My role model is my dad. I chose my dad because he is a caring and loving father. He takes very good care of me when I’m very sick. He works really hard to provide us with our necessities. My dad is cool because he is trying his best to make my life better than what he had. He encourages me to try my best in everything I do. He tries his hardest to be a good dad to us. I thank God for my dad and also my dad for being the man he is today. I think he is doing a magnificent job being my father.

Career Expo!!!!!

A week ago, the year 8s got the opportunity to go to the Careers Expo at ASB show grounds. We all had the chance to view different career displays which might help us to set a target or pathway for our bright future ahead of us.
When we got there, most people were gathered around at the displays of their choice and found out what’s out there that they could do in the future.
It was really a great day and an awesome opportunity for me because it opens up my eyes to a wider variety of careers which I didn’t even think about such as police, air hostess and the army. My mind is set on those three careers. The hosts were awesome because they were answered any questions that we had asked.

Marae

A marae is a sacred place.

The marae, is a sacred open meeting area. It is the communal meeting house, the area with the greatest mana; and the place where Maori customs are given ultimate expression.
The marae is the turanga-waewae of the Maori. It is the hub of traditional Maori community life. It is where their customs and tikanga are taught. It is used for functions like: celebrations, weddings, christenings, tribal reunions and funerals.
A marae is a sacred place which served both religious and social purposes in Maori traditions.

Women are better Leader than men!

I believe that women are better leader than men. Firstly, women take on more responsibilities than men. Secondly they are more organising and last but not the least, women are stronger than men.
First of all, women take on more responsibilities than men. They look after the kids; do the cooking and some other house works. They involved in a lot of other activities such as church committees, school partnership with families. In most of our family functions, women are doing all the jobs and men are sitting around a circle drinking kava or involving in a deep conversation.
Secondly they are more organising than men because they iron the uniforms, making lunches and prepare everything the night before. They wake up early in the morning making sure the house is clean and tidy, prepare breakfast for children and also get themselves ready for work like my Mom. They check everything and make a list before going to do the shopping or they will give the list to someone else to do the shopping.
Lastly women are stronger than men because they carry babies for nine months and go through painful labor and who knows for how long. But still going to work and carry on with other house routines every day. So I strongly believe that women are better leader than men.

Should we sell lollies at the school canteen??

I believe that selling lollies in a school canteen is not right and should not happen at all.

First of all, the Ministry of Health and Education will not approve of this; secondly, lollies aren’t healthy at all. And lastly, lollies can be very addictive.

In my opinion, I say that selling lollies in a school canteen is not right because...well, when the Ministry of Health and Education find out about this, they wouldn’t like this at all! Because it’s not suitable for children in school and if kids think that they can eat lollies in school, they, that means that they would probably think that, if they can eat them at school, they can eat them everyday, all the time!
Lollies might just ruin a school’s reputation...just by a small delicious product!

Lollies are scrumptious right? I mean who wouldn’t want to eat lollies? I know, that’s exactly my point, but it’s not good when you eat lollies everyday. But it’s okay to eat them occasionally. If you eat lollies about everyday, well all you will get out of it is basically plain, old NOTHING!!! You might even put on weight as for lollies have a huge amount of sugar, you’ll get lazy, you will easily get tired and especially your life will completely change if you have an unhealthy lifestyle!
Don’t sell lollies at a school canteen; it’ll become your exact normal lifestyle!

Finally, in lollies there’s something sweet in it...that’s right, it’s SUGAR! Now, I think that you’re probably thinking what’s “sugar” got to do with this? Well, this is why! Sugar is almost in every food, even in fruit, but that’s “natural” sugar. Any who, here’s what I’m trying to say, sugar is hard to resist. That’s why it’s so addictive! Lollies can be delicious and all but if you think about how addictive it is, you might eat the whole lolly and want more and more! If this carries on, there will be a moment where kids eat so many lollies that they get diabetes or sicknesses if they do this for the rest of your life!
This is my point, when you eat lollies from a school canteen, children seem to think that it’s okay to eat them eat them everyday! This could lead to serious sicknesses!
To sum up my point, I still believe that lollies shouldn’t be sold in a school canteen, because it is unhealthy. Remember, as they always say “Life is too short!”
