Thank You Letter
Rosie
40 Campion Rd
Gisborne
Dear Ray,
I am writing to you today to say thank you for driving me and my friends safely to Tui Ridge, Paradise valley, the Loog and back to Gisborne. It was an amazing drive, I loved the view. You drive perfectly I didn't even throw up. I loved watching the movies.
On Camp my favorite parts on camp were the flying fox, I went zooming down like I was flying! I also enjoyed going down the loog, it was my first time going down the loog so it was kind of scary. I loved going to camp.
Thank you for coming on camp and driving me and my friends safely to places. I hope you had fun at camp and enjoyed yourself. Thank you very much for the lollipops you gave us all. I loved the strawberry flavor, it tasted so yum.
Thank you again,
Rosie.

Is Farming Really Bad For The Environment.
Have you ever wondered about farming and does it help the environment? I strongly believe that we can do better to help the world and also farm carefully. Farms help provide food for people in many different ways so they really help the world as well, but they do pollute the rivers with all the animal waste being washed down into the rivers by the rain. We should be able to think of a better way of farming and helping the environment.
Firstly, I strongly believe that farms are a great way to provide food, you can get fruit, meat and veggies. You could live mostly off a farm and you would save a lot of money. I would think that all the fruit you get is from an orchard with oranges and apples. If you sit down at the table with a delicious piece of steak in front of you it probably would have come from a farm. So farms can produce huge amounts of food.
Secondly, I absolutely know the rain water washes the farm waste down into the river. So it is hurting the environment. Which a lot of people do not like so they are not so sure on this farming idea. I believe that we can change this and we can make a change by planting plants. It helps the environment if we plant trees next to rivers, they filter the animal waste.
Lasty I personally know that the waste from farms gets washed down into the river by the rain water. It is not very good for the environment. Without a doubt I like farming, so I personally think there is and will be a way to fix that problem. Maybe we can plant trees next to the river? That will help!
In conclusion, you can all see that farms help people to get food but the waste is getting washed into the rivers, we can help the problem by planting trees on the river bed. There is no question that we can still farm but we just need to think of a better way to help the environment.

Giraffes
Giraffes
Giraffes are the tallest living land mammal. They are like the cow family. All Giraffes have their own unique pattons. Female Giraffes are called cows, the male is called a Bull and of course a baby is called a carf. They only eat plants, no meat so they are herbivores.
Giraffes are 14-19 feet tall about the size of 3 humans. They have 7 bones in their neck, the same number of bones in a human's neck. Their necks are 6 feet tall. A cow can weigh up to 1180kgs. The Bull can weigh up to 2000kgs that's a lot. Their tongues are 46cm long about the length of a child’s arm.
Giraffes live in the dry Savannas of Africa. They travel in groups of 15 which are called Towers. They travel over the plain woodlands in towers. Sometimes you see them in two’s that can be a baby and a mother. It may be a pair of friends.
A baby can grow 1 inch per day for a week. Giraffes can live up to 25 years old. They eat 45kgs of food a day and spend 16-20 hours a day eating. They walk 30 mins and only need 5 minutes a day of sleep.
I think that Giraffes are beautiful tall animals. That deserves to live happily and that should not be hunted. They need to be protected and live freely like they want to.

Trespass
The boys should have not trespassed but they did learnt their lesson.
I think the story licked up to the Easter story because the kids were a bit like Jesus. Jesus knew he had to die. The kids knew they had to do work. So the man was a bit like the Jewish people because they did not like Jesus and he did not like the kid but that is why they are different because in the end the man forgave the kids.

Then I carefully stepped on to the slippery diving block and saw all the people in the crowd. It felt like all their eyes were on me. Then “beep!” I dive in and feel the warmish water hit my face, I frantically swam freestyle all the way to the end, I had hit the wall. I hoped out of the crystal clear water. Then sat on the grand stand with Hine. “Competitive backstroke please go and line up” Mr H said, so I raced to the cold diving block. Next I hear a loud “beep!” In my ear, I dive in with a splash. “Swim, swim, swim” I think in my head “thud” I crashed into the wall, I see Miss Hickling handing me a green block, so I walk over to the diving block again but this time I had a swarm of butterflies in my stomach. “Beep!” I heard it for the third time. I dive in and swim to the end with the crowd cheering, then I hopped out with no block. I step onto the diving block for the last time “beep!” I heard the whistle blow I dived in and swam to the end. I reached the end and that was my 2020 swimming sports done. After a while it was time to walk back to school. We were on the way back to school.
