Why do we need school?

 Why do we need school?

Have you ever wondered why you need to go to school? In NZ school is compulsory to attend school between the ages 5-16. We all need to go school to learn, to get a job, to socialise. 

To learn:

Why do you think  it is important to learn at school? At school we learn lots of things like math, reading, writing and alot more other things. Sometimes the things you learn at school could actually make your life much easier like going to the shops and being able to read all the things you buy, also being able to use math to keep up with the price. There are alot of reasons why it is important to learn at school. 

To get a Job:

Can school help you with getting a job? School can play a big part of your life. The subjects at school that you learn could help big time. Like if you wanted to become a builder you have your math that you learn at school. Also at college you can pick your subject’s from year 11-13, maybe that could help you get the job you’re looking for. Going to school can help you get a job.

Making long life friends:

Do you have friends from school? Many people have friends from school that they are still friends with till today. At school we are taught how to make friends and how to use our manners to make friends. Sometimes these friends become long life friends and stay friends for a long time.

So these are three reasons why school is important. They are to learn, to get a job, making friends.

How to be a good Pt Englander

How are you a good Pt Englander? Being a good ptenglander means following the PE way, Using your wits and last one is being responsible.

Following the PE way is an important thing  to do at pt england and one of our rules is wear it with pride, it means to wear our uniform with pride because when we are wearing it, it means we are representing pt england school. It also means wear our school uniform properly. For example no jackets or jumpers wrapped around the waist, no jewelry on wrist and last one no earrings that have things hanging off of it. For example if I have an earring that has a big cross hanging off I will be asked by a teacher to take it off for my safety.


Another one is using our W.I.T.S, W stands for walk away, I stands for ignore, T stands for talk about it and S stands for seek help. These things are what we do when we’re in a bad situation. For example in fights or whatever it could be, because these things help us stay out of trouble at school and after school. Here's another example if someone is trying to pick a fight with you the first thing to do is walk away if they keep on doing the same thing just ignore them if still going look for somebody to talk about it if they can't do anything seek help like look for a teacher or an adult.

Don't Let Go Narrative writing

Have you ever tried to not let go of something? Well once upon a time there was a girl named Rebecca and she had two pets called Rob and betty. Rebecca's godmother was like some magical woman. She was like the tooth fairy but better, Rebecca used to be an alfone her parents died when she was young. But since then she has been looked after by her godmother Ketty. Her godmother was a billionaire; she brought anything Rebecca wanted; she even brought her some crystal high heels. For her to wear to her best friend's birthday, her best friend's birthday is on april 19, and she just realized that was today. So she got changed, till all of a sudden she heard somebody talking. She looked around. There was nobody there, only Rob and Betty, Rebecca asked. “Were you’s the ones who were talking” “Nah man it wasn’t” Replied Rob. Rebecca was in shock she never knew that her pets could talk. Rob was laughing and so was Betty, “ Who do you think ate all the food?” they both said. Rebecca didn't care, she was wasting time. She had to get to a party, so she went outside and got on her cart and the horse’s started running. The horses were running so fast they didn't see the rock on the ground the horse ran into the rock and tripped, so that sent Rebecca flying into the air. What Rebecca didn’t know was that her pets were on the cart as well. So they all went flying Rebecca said “Hold on don’t let go” Rob was holding on his tightest and Betty was flying because she was a duck. They all fell on the ground knocked out, Betty was looking for help but couldn’t find anyone. It was pitch black as the moon was shining on them, but then all of a sudden there was boy a who saw the crystal high heels shining the boy walked towards the shoe and noticed that Rebecca and Rob were knocked out cold he called the ambulance and they came right away they went to the hospital and then she finally woke up. She called her dad and her dad came and took her home. THE END

How To Be a Good Daughter.

Anyone has the ability to be a good daughter. By showing kindness, listening to your parents, and being helpful you are showing your parents that you love and respect them. What else can you do in your life to be a good daughter?

t is very important to always show kindness towards your parents. Although this can be difficult at times, it is important to show kindness to your parents because it shows that you respect them. For example, when you really want to go somewhere with your friends and your parents tell you that you have to stay home and look after your little siblings, it is important to remember that your parents have your best interests in mind.

Another way to be a good daughter is to talk nicely to your parents. By telling them how much you appreciate them, and answering back in a positive manner you are showing your parents how much they mean to you.  When your parents ask you to do something it is important that you listen and respond in a timely and respectful manner. For example, when mum asks you to put away the laundry, you should immediately respond by saying, “yes mum” as you stand up and put the laundry away without a scowl on your face. 

Another way to show that you are a good daughter is by your actions.  By being helpful around the house you are showing your parents that you respect them. For example, when you keep your bed made and your room clean you are showing that you respect your living space. This also comes into play when you complete your chores without being asked. So, when you wake up in the morning or get home from school, immediately vacuum the house, put away the dishes and take out the rubbish

What makes you a good son or daughter to your parents?

See paragraph.

“Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.”  Many people in the world talk about the changing of our environment but really some people don’t really care.

ELEMENT 1

People around the world need to be responsible for their own rubbish.

Other people from different countries should not tell kiwis to place their 

Rubbish in the bin because they think there more successful than you 

Don’t do it just tell them to do it . For example when I was on my way to church I saw a random person drop his rubbish on the floor and the bin wasn’t far away. 

ELEMENT 2

Do you chuck it in the right bin?. Chucking rubbish in the bin is an important thing to do. Because a lot of people just chuck their rubbish in the bin without even looking at what color  the bin is. For example if you have something they are plastic you can recycle that by putting it in the yellow bin.

ELEMENT 3 

Sometimes people only do it at school because they are told to by the teacher, but most you're not only at school. But most times you are at home and you can also pick up rubbish and put it in the right bin. You can also pick up rubbish when you go to school and come back to school. You can pick up at aunty’s, uncle’ rubbish to 

Teaching others to pick up rubbish could really help the Environment if your Whanau 

Is going for a walk and they see a piece of rubbish in the river or on the ground and they don’t pick it up that is really bad for Example leaving rubbish on the ground is bad cause animals will eat it and or sea or river animals will get caught in the can rappers and die if we don’t pick up any rubbish Animals will seriously die or get sick 

Rainbows End trip Recount

On the 20th of november the year sevens of Pt England school went to rainbows end for the year seven trip. We went to rainbows end in the morning around ten o’clock and we came at two o’clock. Before we went we were put into groups of six or seven, I was in a group of six. The people that were in my group were Sione,Aj M, Nevah, Zamara and Madison.






When we got there, me and my group went to the roller coaster first. The reason why we wanted to go to the roller coaster was because we wanted to start from the back make our way to the front. Our second ride was the power usage out of all the rides the power usage was the scariest, when I was on the power usage I fainted while the ride was still going that's why that was my scariest ride from Rainbows End. Then we went on a lot more then we got to my favorite one the stratosphere we did with five of my members after that we had to go back to school and go home.
