Noah's Thank you letter to Peter and Erin Kawau Island

Dear Peter & Erin

It’s Noah, Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to you guys for letting us have a amazing camp at Kawau Island. I am very thankful for Peter and Erin also my teachers and helpers for looking after us throughout the camp, another thing I am also thankful for  is getting to learn how to abseil, Kayak a lot better, build a bivouac, all those kinds of things.

The first highlight at camp was experiencing how to try new things, and finding out new things about wildlife. To be honest I never saw a weka, until I went to Kawau Island. I loved seeing the orcas they were very impressive. Thank you very much for letting us have a enjoyable time at camp.

One thing that I learnt from camp is to stay strong and be brave.

Yours Sincerely

Kind Regards Noah

Noah's Angles Pt 2

A wild Adventure

As the sun shone in a beautiful cottage in South America's rain forest three healthy and strong gentleman lived there, the oldest one was Jono , second Max, and last Simon. They were all explorers looking for a tail told long ago that people sometimes said it was true. That’s why these men are in the Forest, they say the tail lives in a cave, this cave was the darkest and deadliest cave of them all. Here is a glimpse of what a man saw before suffering from having poison struck in him from the beast. “It was the darkest cave I have ever seen until I was attacked by a terrible fire dragon” and just like that the man was gone.

So that's why the explorers wanted to see it for themselves and maybe slay the beast if they got the chance. Now back to the story, As the explorers set out to find the cave they didn’t know it was going to be hard to find it, so they went up and down mountains through rivers until they found it Jono went first then Max, then Simon “ooooh that smell is disgusting” Simon said whilst holding his nose. Jono was noticing there was bones of people and animals all around.

Then at that moment when Jono was looking around he saw to red ferocious eyes staring at him then it moved closer and closer until you could see its whole body Simon ran behind max petrified of the dragon Jono carefully pealed out of his pocket is sharp blade gripping it tightly, Jono bolted at the dragon and stabbed it in the stomach, the dragon bursted out flames, Max and Simon helped cut the dragon until it died like a heap of ants taking on a weta. Then when Max did his last cut in the dragon. They could not believe it but the dragon fell to the ground, Jono glanced at the fellow explorers "we did it".

Noah's Practice Test 2016 - Writing

As Brian leaned his head back and gulped gallons of water to try and get cool from the hot sun. Alex was too busy enjoying his time listening to his tunes and driving, “Are we there yet?” said Brian, “Not yet maybe half an hour”  replied Alex, they were travelling into the jungle, but first they had to get past the hot sun in America.

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... “Oh no the fuel tank is empty, we have to walk now!” Alex leaned the Jeep to the side of the road, grabbed the gear and started to walk. Brian Moaned “Boo this sucks!”. After a long journey they eventually found themselves in the jungle, Alex had a pocket knife at the back of him and he wasn’t afraid to use it, but as they went further into the jungle Alex got a tighter grip on the pocket knife.

Then Brian saw something unusual, a old cabin in the side of a tree, with a door that had broken glass and dusty doors Brian told Alex that they should check it out. Brian wanted to go in first because he was so dieing to see that something might be in there. At that moment a shimmer of gold caught his eye “What the…”

Brian carefully pushed the door, both of their mouths dropped to see tons and tons of Precious GOLD! They could not believe their eyes so they started shoving gold in their backpacks. They finally got a ride home and became two of the most richest people in my story.

My favourite thing about Riverside Camp

As the cold water splashed on my face I ran to the black slippery slide and at the end there was white bubbly foam coming from the massive foam cannon, I ran too fast like a lightning bolt that I slipped on the slide backwards and plunged into the foam. I came out like I was in a white bubbly suit, it felt so nice so I jumped back in the foam and started to play in it, when I was under I blew a little hole in the foam so that I could breath whilst being under the foam. As soon as I swallowed the it I leaped out of the foam then ran to the tap to vanish the disgusting taste from my mouth. So far that was my little favourite thing about Riverside Camp.

It was so fun but a privilege to be there.

Noah's Usain Bolt's Writing Doc

Usain Bolt sprints down the race track like a bolt of lightning, winning the 100m race, people call him the fastest man alive which is probably true but he did get beaten by Yohan blake and Justin Gatlin. Usain was born a runner in Jamaica where he ran and ran, he contributed to the Olympics in 2008 where he won three gold medals and in 2012 he won his fourth gold medal.

When Usain Bolt was 15 years old he competed in the Junior championships, and was petrified about running until his mum came in and calmed him down by saying “You can always go faster when you keep it light” and at that moment Usain Bolt stood up and went to the track cheered up and showed everyone his Usain Bolt move. The runners got into their positions, set.

BANG! The runners were off Usain Bolt was coming 2nd to last until he reminded himself about what his mum said and sped up to 1st place, then he dreamed he was running on clouds until he jumped off and ran once more.

Noah's Explanation Writing - Technology as a PED

Swimming technology were banned from the Olympics because they were swimming too fast and they had already broken Twenty world records that haven’t been broken before. Now the male swimmers can only wear swimming shorts no t-shirts. Technology is very powerful to the Olympic games because people have started with shoes, tape, running blades, suits, bikes and more.

PED (Performance enhancing drugs) are tempting to use for an athlete that always loses, in Russia they wanted to win by cheating, so they used PED and started to win until a Russian athlete clean of PED maned up, and told the IOC Russia was cheating and so they were banned from the Olympics. The Russian Council was very selfish and cheated, then got their entire country banned from the Olympics and some of the clean athletes were banned as well.

Lots and lots of athletes around the world have used PED some of them have used it and thrown it away, others keep it as an ally to help them win, well that doesn’t go so well because they can get caught. Example, Justin Gatlin used PED and threw it away, and some athletes still think he is cheating.

So if you are an athlete and want to win gold medals do not use PED, God gave everyone a gift to do something great, Hope you enjoyed my writing.

Noah's Practice letter to PM (Prime Minister)

Pt England School

130 Pt England Road

Pt England

Auckland, 1072

NZ

Thursday 25th August 2016

Dear Prime Minister John Key,

Kia Ora my name is Noah, I’m a year 6 student at Pt England School. I would like to discuss with you a problem about the pollution in the rivers, creeks, and sea  all around New Zealand. People have thrown rubbish into our waters, and all around our country, also our native creatures have eaten it and got really sick until they die.

First I suggest that you could make some rules about this problem, we need more rubbish bins, maybe fines to people who are caught littering on the streets, then maybe even a activity game for the kids in the community to collect the most rubbish.

If people keep this happening our environment will die, our waters won’t have enough sea life, we won’t have any food left, I think we could make a giant rubbish crusher that crushes the rubbish, our country will be filled with garbage and it will not be very nice. So you should make some decisions to the people who litter, and help NZ.

Yours Sincerely Noah S
