How Maui, Alex, Eamon And Callan Slowed Down The Sun

           

Once upon a time there was Maui and his three brothers Alex, Eamon and Callan and a wise old man called Chi Fu. Maui and his brothers decided to go to the sun and slow it down because it was going too fast. Maui, his brothers and the wise old man Chi Fu went through the deepest darkest woods and the sandiest deserts with cracks in the ground which lead to the biggest deserts in New Zealand. They found  

the sun’s hiding place and they hid behind some rocks. Then after the sun came out of the hole they jumped out from behind the rocks and threw ropes at the sun and the ropes got stuck in the sun’s hair and Maui hit the sun with his magical jaw bone. After a lot of hitting the sun the sun finally agreed to slow down. The End

Persuasive Writing -Why we shouldn't have pets

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing about why we shouldn't have pets.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	It Is Not A Good Idea To Have Pets.
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I am against pets
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly, pets poo and pee all the time but the worst part is thay bark all day. and to back it up they can break stuff. They can chew your new furniture and shoes, especially when they are puppies.
	Secondly, Pets can cost a lot of money, they need a lot of food, you might hurt them,  there are expenses and there is vet fees, you could run out of money to feed yourself.
	Thirdly, they might go on someone's property and atlack their dogs or wreck some of their stuff. You can get into a lot of trouble if your dog bites somebody and dog can be put down if they hurt people.
	Finally Some dogs can give you diseases that make you sick.Lots of people are allergic to dog’s fur and can have a really bad reaction like a rash covering your body.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	Pets are not important in our lives, as they can destroy your life by making you sick, costing you money and make big messes. DO NOT GET A PET.

Persuasive Writing - Why we should fix our field

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing about why we should fix our field.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	Fix Our field!!!!!!!!!!!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I definitely think we should fix the field so we can still have events like the gala. The field would give us more area to run around and there would not be as many injuries. It would be fun to be able to use the sports equipment on the field. We would have a better chance to do well at sporting events if we had the field to train on.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly,I think we should fix our field because we have events, like our gala which brings in money for our school.
	Secondly, it is a large part of our school and it is  really crowded on the concrete. If the field is fixed it will reduce injuries and it will give all the children more space.
	Thirdly, it will make  use of all our sports equipment and we can do running races. There is a lot of sports equipment in the PE shed that we can’t use because the field is not in use.
	Finally, we can practise for tournaments and we can keep fit. Children need to keep fit and run around in the fresh air.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion we need to fix our field because we need the field for events, we don’t have enough room to play, we need our field for sports training and games,and need our field because it is  really crowded.It is vital that we have a good field at school.
