Children should go to school by Yang Yang

Do you know I disagree that children should not go to school, because they should learn at school to read and write. Now read this. About 2,000 children in New Zealand don't go to school on any one day. If you want to know more, carry on reading.

I really don't agree that little kids should not go to school, because children should really go to school, and learn at school, and always get their mind going, or buzzing.

On the other hand parents might not think that their child has to go to school, just because their child was sick for one day. They let them have a long long  holiday, and miss out school days. That's not a good idea at all.

Have a think. Do children have to go to school? Not just to learn, but also to make friends. Think about it. It will be quite boring if your child just stays home every day, watching television, and playing games. Watching television will damage their eyes, and playing games will just make them dumb because they don't learn anything. Well have a think about what if that was you. How would you like it?

It's right that children have to learn new things, and have new friends at school. Well, there is another reason that children should go to school, and that is because learning is important. If kids don't learn what will happen? Think about this. If you don't learn, what will happen to you? What will happen to your future? Have a read of the next paragraph.

If you don't learn, you will probably be poor, maybe not, but you won't have a work place, which means where to work when you grow up.

Have a think. 2,000 children not going to school? That's a lot!!! 2,000 children not going to school. Think about that. If the kids don't go to school, what will happen to them? They will have nothing for their future because they don't learn anything.

Finally, children should always go to school, because I think kids need to learn, so let your child go to school, not stay at home, and watch television every day. I hope you understand now.

Divij bike west

Today we went to the courts to have a lesson with bike west. They teach young riders skills and how to ride a bike. I think it’s nice because it encourages people to ride a bike more often.

We had three teachers. Their names were, Meg, Morgan and Brendan. First we had to check our helmet by making a Y shape on the side of the helmet. We also learnt the ABC’s on a bike. A:air B is brakes and C is chains. Then we learnt scooting. Scooting is when you put your left foot on the right pedal of your bike and both your hands on the handlebars. You have to also try to mount the bike by gliding. Gliding is when you scoot so fast on your bike that you don’t have to scoot any more.Then you can mount it. On Monday our teacher was Brendan.

Fun Bike West by Jaanvi

Today I went to bike west where we learnt how to ride bikes and learn tricks and skills. Bike west is really fun. If you want to know more about me at bike west read more of my story.

We had three teachers who taught different things. One teacher taught people how to ride a 2 wheeler bike.

Another teacher taught skills and tricks, same with the other teacher. The teachers’ names were Meg, Morgan and Brendan.

First Brendan taught us our A B C. The A stood for air, the B stood for

brakes lucky last, the C stood for chains.

I was with a teacher who taught skills. Mr Nisbet was with my group. There was also Yang Yang, Divij, Andy Ethan, Courtney, Amrita, Samara, Xavian and myself.

The people who I mentioned just in the last paragraph

were in my group being taught by Meg.

Some of the things we learnt were scooting, scooting then putting your foot over , gliding,  and u-turns.

Today the class went to the courts to learn bike skills and how to keep ourselves safe out in the open when we are on a bike.

First we had a warm up by riding around the courts 3 times. When we finished our warm up, we split into two groups. Half the class went with Morgan and the other half of the class went with Meg and the learners went with Brendon. After we split into groups I ended up with Morgan. The first skill we learned was how to glide  through 2 cones.

Tuesday A team production

Last night over 300 people came to our Cinderella Circus performance.

I was so nervous I had butterflies, but when I went on stage, I was not scared or nervous. I was just so scared before I went on stage .

I never ever thought I'd do it, but it worked out pretty well. It was amazing!

All of the performers in my class room twenty were wearing black and white. I saw my mum. She was  poking her tongue out when I was performing - embarrassing, right

The Summerland Production / by Isaac

The production is called Cindy Circus. It is about a girl called Cindy that wants to perform in the circus.
Cindy's step-sisters try to stop her from performing in the circus.

I have the Black or White role. The Black or Whites introduce the circus.

Cindy's step-sisters guards (the lions) bring Cindy to a dungeon where there are zombies. Some mice save Cindy from her dungeon by sticking the guards to the ground with super sticky glue. Cindy gets to perform in the circus after all.

On Thursday the whole of team A are going to do a dress rehearsal. We are going to change in Bethells. On the dress rehearsal day we will have a real audience.
