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.

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.
