Paragraph 1/Intro

The Ancient Olympics were started by the Greek people in honour of their Greek God Zeus in 776 BC and which was 3000 years ago. The only countries that had competed was only the Greek people because at that time other countries haven’t heard about it, in that time in the Ancient Olympics they did not have that many sports and they had to play naked/nude.

contaminated water

Contamination of water

Good or bad

P1

I wonder what will happen if all the water is contaminated? I think it will be a world with contaminated water and that all of the water life animals will die.

P2

Litter can make our water dirty by throwing our rubbish out then it goes to the drain which then

goes to the waterway. Also contaminated water

is caused by pesticides because when you put it on your fruits and you're veggies it can keep pest away from your fruit and your veggies but it can also contaminate water because when it rains the pesticides will get taken down and it will go to the drain then it goes to the sea.

Also our water could be dirty because of cattle waste when the farmer drops it in the drain and sometimes the rain can clean the water.

P3

Also the contaminated water can kill marine life and then wales will die and the water will be filled with plankton and it might not be good enough to swim in. Contaminated water can affect the food chain because if an animals are dead and the animal that eats that animal will die and animals will be extinct. Contaminated water is also caused by oil spills like when a ship is not balanced and  there can be a oil spill, oil spills can also affect the marine life. Contaminated water can also affect people because it can carry a sickness,virus and a disease.If people don’t want to drink contaminated water and don’t want to get a disease .

P4

Do you want to stop drinking contaminated

water? and if you don’t want to get a disease? then stop littering.

New Zealand National Anthem Lyrics

The New Zealand National Anthem lyrics.

E Ihoa Atua,

O nga Iwi! Matoura,

Ata whakarongona;

Me aroha roa.

Kia hua ko te pai;

Kia tau to atawhai;

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa

God of nations at thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet.

Hear our voices, we entreat,

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific's triple star

From the shafts of strife and war,

Make her praises heard afar,

God defend New Zealand

Men of every creed and race

Gather here before thy face,

Asking thee to bless this place,

God defend our free land.

From dissension, envy, hate,

And corruption guard our state,

Make our country good and great,

God defend New Zealand.

Saint George

                        Saint George.

I am Saint George and  I live in England. My birthday is on April 23. I am the patron saint of England.I was a Roman soldier but then I changed to a christian because the Roman empire is being cruel to the christians. I have been thrown into prison and tortured. I am known for slaying a dragon and saving a princess. I lived in the year 203 and I died in the year 380. In the thirteenth century my feast day is declared a public holiday.

Mary Makiilop Centre

As I enter the room, I am trying to squash in and sit down in the crowded room. When the sisters are telling us about their story, they talked to us about when they started to be a sister and how old they were when they started to be a sister. One of the sisters answered some questions like why were they use to be called the brown Joes? and the answer was when Saint Joseph wore brown.

When He went to the lake to go catch the fish. When he caught some fish he saw and ugly cyclops come out of the lake and he said to the eldest son why are taking my fish then the eldest son dropped the net and ran to the wooden house and he said to his father and his two brothers there is a giant cyclops outside in the lake. Then the second eldest son said to the oldest brother of them all there is no giant cyclops outside in the lake then the father told the second eldest son grabbed the net to catch some fish and he went outside to the lake but the giant cyclops was at the bottom of the lake and the second eldest son said to the family there is no giant cyclops then the second eldest son was catching the fish then the giant cyclops jumped out of the lake again and the giant cyclops said to the second eldest son why are you taking my fish then the second eldest son dropped the net and ran inside the house and he shut the door then he said to his father and his two brothers, there is a giant cyclops outside in the lake. Then the youngest brother got the biggest net of all of the nets in family and he got a knife with him then the little brother went to the lake and he sat down on a big rock then he got lots of fish then the giant cyclops said why are you taking my fish then the youngest son said if you get closer i will kill you but then the giant cyclops started to get scared then the giant cyclops said i will catch all the fish that is  in this lake and i will get you some wood in the forest to cook your food and also make you nice and warm
