Kauri dieback

Kauri Dieback
Kauri dieback can kill kauri of all ages. It's a disease caused by a
microscopic fungus-like organism, called (PA). It lives in the soil
and infects kauri roots, damaging the tissues that carry nutrients
and water within the tree, effectively starving it to death. There is
no cure for kauri dieback disease, and the disease kills most if not
all the kauri it infects.  Kauri dieback (PTA) are found in the soil
around affected kauri. Any movement of infected soil can spread
the disease. Human activity involving soil movement (on footwear,
machinery or equipment) is thought to be the greatest cause of
spread.

Reflection - I like how we had to discover what kauri dieback is.

Retelling of Ahipara


Retelling of Ahipara
Once there were two tribes they were Te Aopouri and Te Rarawa and they were always fighting about who owned 90-mile beach. But one day the chief Poroa made a big line across the beach Te Aupouri were on the north and Te Rarawa were on the south. Because of that Poroa got given a wife and her name was Whangatauatia. One day when he returned to his own pa he renamed it Whangatauatia in honour of his wife. Luckily the two tribes regained peace for many years but eventually, Poroa died. And his great mana, a tapu was put on the beach for a year. During the time a Rahui, a ban was put on all birds fish and shellfish. When the Tapu was lifted a great feast was held and was customary in those days. The first fish and shellfish caught were cooked. Over a special fire and prayers were said and the food was placed in a certain place as an offering and that’s how Ahipara got its name,
Ahi - Meaning fire
Para para - The roasted fish that was put aside as an othering. By Lola

My speech

For homework, as well as for school we have to do a persuasive speech this is mine.

Why fizzy drinks should be banned

Do you ever get thirsty and go to the shop and buy yourself a fizzy drink and are still thirsty after? That's because fizzy drinks don't quench your thirst. Hi, my name is Lola and today I'm going to be telling you why I think fizzy drinks should be banned.

Firstly fizzy drinks are bad for your teeth, they rot them and give you cavities. They give you cavities because when you drink fizzy the sugars it contains, interact with bacteria in your mouth to form acid. This acid attacks your teeth.

Secondly, fizzy drinks erode your stomach lining which means it eats away at your stomach which may cause it to bleed, make it painful and make it hard for you to eat certain foods.

Thirdly fizzy drinks can increase your risk of cancer. 1oomls of any sugary drink a person drinks a day is associated with an 18% increased risk of cancer risk although it may not sound like much but it is for those people who drink it daily.

Fourthly fizzy drinks can cause damage to your skin. In addition to all the sugar in it, the caffeine found in the fizzy can dehydrate the skin emphasizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Lastly fizzy can make us violent. A study carried out on teenagers that found a link between fizzy and violence. Researchers found that even teenagers who just drank two cans a week were more aggressive towards their friends, and those who drank five or more cans a week were also more likely to have drunk alcohol or smoked at least once in the previous month.

In conclusion, the next time you think about having a sugary fizzy drink just think is it is really worth it? Why don't you go for the healthier option a nice plain fresh drink of cold water.

Why all plastic bags need to be removed from sale

Last week room four has been doing persuasive writing this is mine.

Why all plastic bags need to be removed from sale
Plastic bags are deadly they kill animals and are very bad for the environment. You should stop using plastic bags now! I will explain why.

Plastic bags are bad for our environment they cause pollution which means animals die. 100,000 marine creatures die each year from plastic. Approximately 1 million sea birds also die from plastic. A plastic bag can kill numerous animals because they take so long to disintegrate.

Plastic bags are also bad for nature because they get into the soil and slowly release toxic chemicals. They eventually break down into the soil, with the unfortunate result being that animals eat them and often choke and die.

Plastic bags also increase the risk of flooding. In addition to the use of natural resources and waste from plastic bag production, plastic bags can increase the risk of flooding. Because they never break down completely, plastic bags can clog storm drains and other areas which can eventually cause severe flooding.

And that's why we should stop using plastic bags and start using paper bags and cardboard so start making a difference now!

Why we shouldn't have more homework 
Homework is good but stressing, you might like it but what if you are busy with sports or family events. Do you really think we need homework?

Teachers think homework is good but some parents and children think it is bad. Say, you haven't seen someone for three years and they're finally coming to see you. But you have homework to finish, so you can’t play with your friends.

I like homework but not lots of it. Ms Eva Smith says “homework is a waste of time plus we do lots of school work and then you go home and do more work like what's the point?” but... Ms Ruby Pirini says “I feel like homework is a good learning source and you will get good grades”

What if your very busy with events and you don't have time to do your homework and then at school you try to explain to your teacher but instead she/he growls you. Plus you’ve just spent a whole day at school working then when you get home you have to do more!

What if your tired and buggered from school and when you try to do your homework you get stressed and have a big meltdown then what?

I hope you can reflect and take in what I have just said maybe you could convince your teacher not to have too much homework then there won't be any problems.
The end
