What If You Were Blind

Here’s a system blind people use to read and write. The system’s  name that helps them learn is called ‘Braille’. Blind people feel the pattern of the letter, but when they feel the pattern they feel the dents  like a dot in a dice.


Well here’s a cool guy who invented a way how blind people read and write. Well this guy’s name is called Louis Braille born in 1809 the 4th of January . The day he was born he was suffering an accident and an eye infection. When he was three he went blind.

Blind people have a disability to not be able to do things that other people can do. Most blind people can’t compete  in sports. But blind people should never give up on what they believe, cause if they believe they can achieve.



What if my life was different, what if I was blind . I would have to learn how to read and write in a different way to other people. I would not be able to do most thing that other people get to do. I will be blind but then I would be different to other people that would make me unique . My life will be weird  being blind but if I was then I will just have to accept the way I am.

Athletics

At the start of the day we had nice weather nice and sunny which was a great to have Athletics in.

Walking up to the starting line. The feelings in my body were like butterflies in my stomach. I was all so feeling nervous as I was standing at the start line .

The guy who say take your marks and get set then bang the gun went off. We were all running as fast as we can but I was running even faster in the two hundred meters race.  

In the one hundred meters i was feeling the same thing I felt in the two hundred. But when I was running in the one hundred meters
I was determined to win.

After all the events we only had relays to do. We had a bad start and a bad ending , But I enjoyed being at lord elmore race track in pakuranga.

Water Safe

Improvised flotation is a skill that you have to learn and do if your boat is capsized  you should use the flotation skill. The flotation skill can help you with survival but if theres is something that is near you that can float it could increase your survival time.

If there objects around you should use them to help you float like a chilly bin that fell out of your boat or a wooden log out at sea.

If you had a capsized boat you should stay with it so that if a boat is in sight they could see the boat.Capsized means that your boat has been tipped over in the water.

Some of these tips could help you if you're in an emergency.

Fishing trip

  In the beginning, koro was reeling in a tamure (which is a  fish) . When koro was reeling in his tamure his feet were up against the side of the boat. The tamure was a good fish because it could fit in the pan at koro’s house . Koro was taking the tamure off the hook, i felt a tug on my line.

The tug on the line nearly made me fall  over the side of the boat. The tamure was pulling as it was pulling koro said “hold on to that matire”. The fish was strong but he did not give up. The fish was big when i reeled it into the boat.  Koro was take the hook out of the fish mouth and I went and got the Tikina te kamera.

The Maori that were said in the narrative where Tikina Te Kamera means get the camera, and the word matire means fishing rod, tamure means snapper.

Manaiakalani

The fifth manaiakalani film festival was at the hoyts at sylvia park. We had the opportunity to go in the extreme screen inside the hoyts. Many kids in the manaiakalani program got to see movies that kids in the manaiakalani program produce.

Kids liked many movies that were produce in the manaiakalani. There were many movies that were shown on the extreme screen.Some movies were done by our school and athere school in the manaiakalani program.

The film that was cool for me was the test performed by Rm 18 . Their film was funny and entertaining for all of us to watch. They a great film that many of the audience liked. Rm 18 film was one of my favorite film to watch.

Mechanics

Growing up seeing mechanics fixing many different cars. That’s what inspired me to be a mechanic like all of the other mechanics. There is one reason why I wanted to be a mechanic, so I can do a olden day car.

Long ago when I was Boy I went to work with my father. The mechanics had a problem with a car but the car was low and the mechanics were too big to fit.So they just look at me and then I had to get under the car and do the job.  

I am older now and I am in a company it a work shop with my mate named
Samson. The company name which was  called Mechanics Are The  Best. We were really successful with many cars but sometimes it didn't go as we planned.

VOLCANOES

 A volcanoes erupts when pressure is on the magma chamber that cause the magma to rise with gas, rock and ash. It rise out of the chamber comes out then it is call lava the spreads out it keeps come out the ounce it has, many layers the volcano is shaped like a hill or mountain.

 Active volcanoes are mostly around the tectonic planets here is photo where some active volcanoes are.


One of the volcanoes that are active in New Zealand  is called Mt Tongariro.

Stomach Churning

There was an awesome fun park that had it’s grand open and it was a night . It said on the flyer that the school handed out before we went off to the school holidays.

At the fun park there was a roller coaster that this boy and his friends really wanted to go on , there was a ferris wheel and many more cool rides that you would have lots of fun on.

When they were going to there first ride which was the roller coaster. When they approached the roller coaster there stomach were churning , they also had butterfly in their stomach as well.

After they went on the roller coaster they felt a bit weird. After they had a great day at the fun park they wished that they could do that again next holidays.

Smoking Not My Future

This is my argument why smoking is not great. Smoking is dangerous it can cause a disease inside your body.  

If you smoke there is an increase of getting a disease . Smokes cause a disease in your body that can make you die. Smoking can cause you get heart disease which is common. There is another disease that is common as well, that disease is called lung-cancer.

Twenty percent of Americans are smokers and most of them are likely to die from that. If you have been smoking you are more likely to die from chemicals in the cigarettes that could affect your body.


I have told you in my writing what smokes do to your body. They don’t make you great, they make you worse. So think before your make the wrong choice.

Not So Bad After All

Our shoes in the mud were going swish swosh as each step as we took.
The Pt England reserve is where our cross country took place. The Pt England Reserve grass was muddy also wet.

On the 17th of August we had cross country. It was a fun and muddy course. In the mud it felt like we were a little child running in the mud.

Staff from our school were out on the course to watch cross country happen. Telecom Volunteers were out there on the Bushwalk that was apart of the reserve.

Cross Country was a long distance course. The course was long distance it made me Exhausting. Over all I had a great time doing cross country and it was fun.

London Game

The New Zealand  team went to the London Olympics and Competed. The games have finally came to an end for the 2012 games.

The London Olympic Lasted for 2 weeks . In that time they have won 13 medals. They put their heads down and butts up to win them. They had the hard work to get there.

Go for gold and make dream come true,
Olympia home of the Olympics

Rings of the Olympic flag

Nature or Nurture

What makes a great athlete? Does someone know? Well here is my opinion , what makes a good athlete is hard work and desire puls dedication.

Take Dick Quax for example, he used hard work and determination. He used these to win a silver medal in the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games for the 1,500 meters. He has won another silver medal  for the 5,000 meters in Montreal Olympics in 1976. Quax’s athleticism has inspired many people .

Hard work, desire and dedication makes a good athlete. Dick Quax is an great example of this. Nature or Nurture? It  is about Nurture,  it’s about how athletes use hard work to achieve their goals.

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali was a professional American boxer, he won the heavyweight championship title three times. Ali started his boxing career back in 1954.

He won 6 Golden Gloves contests and he had won a Olympic gold medal in Rome in 1960.

The reason why I chose Muhammad Ali  is because he was an awesome boxer. His footwork was astonishing, he had powerful  punches  with quick reflexes as fast as lightning.

He has inspired  me with the most determination and strength. I would like to be like Muhammad Ali in  his boxing skills.

I would like to thank Stevie and  Naomi for looking at my work.

"When Is It The Right Time To Swear"

"US bans swearing"

In a small town near Boston, in the USA has voted to fine people who swears. If people prohibited loud then they will be fined. If they swear they will be fine 20 (U.S) dollars.

"When it is the right time to Swear"

It’s  never the right time to swear. It not nice to swear in front little kids because they might pick it up and copy you. Swearing can just come out when you are angry or it just yourself . Swearing  is used to hurt  people or they use for no reason at all. Swearing, is what some adults use.

Thanks to Kevin for looking at my work and Stevie.

BULL FIGHTER MAKE'S A COME BACK

08/09/12 How To Make An Acknowledgement for Online Quotes And Graphics

’A Spanish bullfighter who lost sight in one eye and has partial facial paralysis after a terrifying goring returned to the bullring today, five months after his injury.
On Oct. 8, a bull's horn ripped into Juan Jose Padilla's lower jaw and caused his left eyeball to protrude as spectators screamed in horror. Padilla was seen getting up shouting, "I can't see, I can't see anything," his face gushing blood as assistants distracted the bull.
Now, wearing an eye patch and speaking with a lisp, Padilla fulfilled what he describes as an unquenchable desire to once again face massive 500-kilogram fighting bulls with the aid of only a cape and sword.’’

Duffy Theater

Laughing at the Duffy theater, the funniest character of the show was Scruffy and the 2nd funniest was Wiremu. In the theater there was lots of laughter, dancing as well as singing which was cool all together.

There was lots of scenes but my favorite scene was the book shop, where there was a fake Sony Bill and he was getting a birthday present for his daughter Emmy. The present was a book called "The best book in the world". In the book there was Marvel who was in the main character in the book.

I enjoyed watching it, and I cant wait for next year to come. I am so happy that they came this year.

Netball

The ball came at me like a rocketed into my chest.This wash't as easy as i thought in my head.Then the team that we were playing scored into one of the goals that was the score In the corner.It was fun playing but at the same time it was hot.

Our couch was name is Lizs she was from Auckland school.She showed us how to a chest past.After she taught us the chest pass she showed us the bounce pass.
