Is TV a bad influence

People often talk about how television is a bad influence on children and how it teaches them violence and bad habits.

Some people think that television shows teach young kids how to be cheeky, violent and to use bad language. Also they say advertisements make kids greedy and that kids should be getting exercise outdoors instead of watching tv for hours.

Other people think that television is educational and teaches kids all about these things they couldn’t experience. They say there was plenty of violence, bad language greed before TV was invented and that sport shown on TV encourages kids to try lots of sports for themselves.

Lots of nice people watch TV. They aren’t rude or violent or greedy. I think TV is good for you only sometimes but not all the time.

Celebrating Guyforks night with my Family.

On Saturday 5^th of November I and my family celebrated guy forks night. My dad had brought me 2 boxes and my uncle had brought me 1 huge box from the warehouse. Before going to my uncles’ house where we were mostly going to light the fireworks I went to my cousins house because they wanted me to come and join them lighting their fireworks so I took 1 box with me to share with them.
It was funny because my little cousin started to run into the house because he was scared and thought that the fireworks would back fire towards him. But on the time he didn’t run he firework did back shot but he was lucky because I grabbed him and put him out of the way.
At 10:00pm I went to my uncle’s house to celebrate with my uncle and grandma and my awesome aunty. I lit the fireworks up and they were fabulous they exploded in many different patterns and colors which were quiet cool.  

We were up till 12:00am because I was having so much fun. But at 11:00pm I saw some very special walk into the gate it was my sister and her husband. I got so excitied and started to run as fast as I could towards my sister because I thought she wasn’t going to be with us on a really cool event.

I really enjoyed lighting up fireworks and celebrating and also spending time with my loving and caring family.

Room1's trip to extreme edge

On Friday 20th of May 2011 room1 went on a "Farewell Mrs Wiersma" trip to Extreme Edge indoor rock climbing in Panmure. We had also planned a shared lunch for the day as well. Our adults that were helping us were Mrs Wiersma(our Beautiful Teacher) Whea Donna (Our wonderful reliver) her husband Mr Cowley and Matua Jo (Our Bus Driver).

We left school around 9. When we got there i got so scared and tired but i still had no choice. Everyone was pushing and rushing to get outside. Finally we were sitting inside the building. 2 staff members walked into the entrance and introduced themselves.

After introducing themselves they started to explain how rock climbing goes and how to wear the harness. First they gave each of us harnesses and then they got Hope up and they used her as their model for How to put a harness on. When we wore the harnesses we got wedges.

We were split into 2 groups because there were so many of us. I was in team 1. Team 1 went on a blue and yellow wall and team 2 went on another one.

We had 2 models from the class to do a demonstration for the class. For our team Izach was one because he had been to Extreme Edge. For the other group Jasmine was one too.

Izach showed us how to climb up and how to get down. They only told Izach to go halfway because otherwise it will take long.

We had to go on the automatic rope ones because the helpers weren’t ready to help us on the otherwall where you needed a person below to help you climb.

After the demonstration we all got a chance to climb on all the automatic walls. Dylan went on the wall that our group had went on. The first automatic wall i had climbed was the kites one with tress and sheeps.  I reached the top. Mrs Wiersma also told me to stay up there because she wanted to take a picture of me.

Then  i went to climb on the solar system wall. It was so cool Whea Donna mentioned to me while climbing that when i go past the planets i have to say the name because the planets is kind of our topic in class.

After the solar system wall i went on the Gorillawith the helicopter on top. I was having a race with Horiana and she lost but then i said nice try to her.

Then I went to the other walls. The first wall i went on was the nice and easy one because it was a practice. That wall had a picture of a house and a swan lake as well.

Next i went on the harder ones because i wanted to try one. I was having so much fun on the big walls. Most of the time Mr Cowley helped me climb and sometimes Whea Donna.

I didn’thave a turn with Mrs Wiersma because she was firstly letting the others go first because she wanted everybody to have a turn on the big walls.  I climbed heaps of them and some were very difficult to climb.

Then Mrs Wiersma asked me if i could help with the shared lunch because no one had helped. I went into the bus and quickly gave the boxes to Matua Jo and Mrs Wiersma. I held a very light one with heaps of chips in it.

We took the boxs to the top and we planned to sit down there and eat.

There were so many yummy food on the table i couldn't decide what to eat first.

I had brought some chicken sandwiches and LOL drinks for my friends and Mrs Wiersma.

In 2 Seconds my Chicken Sandwiches were gone and i only got to have 1. Mrs Wiersma's Afghans where very tasty :) :).

After eating Mrs Wiersma told the class to sit down for 10 minutes and wait till the food was digested properly.

The Boys where out first to go and start climbing because they had only eaten a little bit.

After we went back to climbing Me, Mrs Wiersma and Hope had taken a picture of us sleeping on those comfy things.

We only had 1 hour to go back to school because we were supposed to go at 2:00pm. Everyone was so excited and they didn't want to leave.

2:00pm everybody was sad because we were going. We went back to the front and took of our harnesses and put them in 1 nice neat pile.

Jasmine and Bella said thankyou on behalf of room1. We went into the bus and drove back to school.

2:30pm we got back to school and everyone was so tired well not everyone some of us.

A very speical friend

In 2009 I met a very special friend in Room1. Her name was Jasmine. We first started to talk to each other and got to know each other as well. Then we became friends. We helped each other. We trusted each other to. Jasmine was a very nice person.
Also we got along. Sometimes we fight-ed and got angry with each other but then we still got along. We worked as a team together.  We always shared together. We sat next to each other. We play with each other every morning tea times and lunch times. We usually walked around the school because it used to be so boring nothing to do. With both of us together we had heaps of fun out doors and in doors.
The best part was we always shared secrets and we always promised that we wouldn’t tell anybody even if they are a trust worthy friend never ever tell. We shared funny jokes. We never said mean things to each other. It was always me and Jasmine working together when we had to be partners.  On her birthday i always wished her happy birthday. On my birthday she always wished me happy birthday too.
Sometimes she would make me a birthday card. Sometimes i would make her one as well.
We always planned things for our friends birthdays also see if they get surprised. On 2010 on Hopes birthday we planned hopes birthday party with the whole class at school. When my mum brang the cake hope was really happy but she felt really sad because i had spent heaps of money for her.  That was a great Idea.
A week later I knew that Jasmine was a Great friend and that she was the right person to be my friend.

My Adventure at Spookers

“OMG we’re going to Spookers” I screamed at my cousin Artika. Me and Artika were very excited to go to Spookers because we loved horror movies and we always wanted to go to Spookers.

We got to go to Spookers because my mum was a staff member there. We also got in for free.



Before leaving home I told myself if I get to scared the all I have to do is say Stop and put my hands in the air.  “Girls come on are you ready yet” my mum asked me and my cousin. “Girls its time to go” my mum called me and my cousin “Okay mum we will be down in a minute” I replied back to my mum.

“Yey we’re here” I spoke to myself.  Then my mum parked and said that we are not allowed to poke the actors if they scare you otherwise you will get kicked out.

I was really scared to go in but then I mumbled to myself if I’ve gotten this far I have to be brave and go inside no matter what.

I walked into the building and there were so many actors getting ready to come and scare us.

We found my mums boss Joe in the function room and he asked mine and my cousins name we said “Shyniya and Artika” he replied back to us “Well that is very hard to  remember lets just put your names to Tim and Bob” I started t laugh because when he called my cousin Bob he bobbed down.

After a moment we went through the Haunted house I was so scared because on the first section because there were theses big containers that Joe was shaking and I thought they were going to fall on us.



Then we went through the army and when we went through the army it was funny because I got to play with the gun. Then when we went through the ball room it was kind of cool because there was this lady who was trying to grab our feet and we had to run through the ball room. I started to giggle along with my cousin.



Then after the Haunted House Joe lead us to Disturbia. Disturbia was a 3D vortex movie theatre that showed us really scary stuff. While we were watching the movie I had a feeling that the ghosts were coming to catch us. I was feeling very scared but I didn’t scream.



When we were done at Disturbia Jo tried to make us scared by locking us in a cell. We weren’t scared because that lead us to Claustrophobia. Claustrophobia wasn’t really scar y because there was only A ugly looking clown. I was feeling so excited because we got to see some very awesome things.



Straight after Claustrophobia Jo took us to Corn evil. The best was saved for last because it was scary. There were heaps pf people surrounding me and Artika who looked very scary. They all had chainsaws with them. I thought they were going to cut our heads open. When they all went back into a room me and my cousin yelled out “RUNNNNN!!” We both hid somewhere they wouldn’t find us. I was hiding behind a large rock. Then came along a person with a chainsaw he was trying to find me he went forward and I put my leg out. He tripped over and I ran away. It was really funny.

Finally it was time to go home cause Jo said that the tour was over we went back into the café where my mum was waiting for us.



I told my cousin that was the scariest experience of my life.

My Term1 Holiday

\ On the last day of term1 I was really excitied because it was the started of the school holidays.

On the first week I was at my dad’s house. It was really boring because I didn’t get to do anything or go anywhere. Finally I got to go to the Manukau Mall on Thursday.

The first thing I did as soon as I was inside the mall I went to the cinemas to see HOP with my cousin Artika. We had a large popcorn and we had 2 kapati’s and also 2 frozen cokes.  The movie was really cool.  The movie was based on a Easter bunny called HOP.

After the movie i went to smiggle to get some stuff that I could use at school. I bought pens, rubbers and heaps of pencils.

I also went to a couple of shops to buy some shoes and clothes for myself. But about 2 hours later I had to go back home.

In the second weekend it was Easter. On Easter all my cousins came over to my house and we had a easter hunt. Before all my cousins had come over my dad had hid the easter eggs inside the house and outside in the compound.

It was very easy to find the first one because the first one was inside my bedroom on top of my dressing table. He He He :P

After the hunt I got a whole bunch of easter eggs from my aunties and uncles.

On the second week I went to Tauranga. I went with my Grandma and Uncle. We went in my dad’s Van because my uncles van was on repair. We went in the morning at 9:00 and we got there are 1:00 in the afternoon.

My Dream to be a Doctor

My biggest dream is to become a doctor because then i can help people who are sick and also i can make my dads dream come true. Before i didnt think about it but as i got older my dad told me to make his dream come true.

To be a doctor i will not only have to get good grades but i will need to show that i am responsible and can do the job correctly also i have to get into medical school then graduate from a 4-year collage or university but before getting into medical school it is very important to get these :

  1 year of general chemistry with laboratory courses.

  1 year of organic chemistry with laboratory courses.

  1 year of biology with laboratory courses.

  1 year of physics with laboratory courses.

  1 year of English.

  1 year of calculus.

Then complete medical school. So you see becoming a doctor isnt very easy but i will try to full fill my dad's dreams and my dreams.
