My speech on the NZ flag

The New Zealand flag debate. In parliament our prime minister and the whole of the national party has decided to change our flag to a “New and Improved” flag. I’m here to persuade you that changing the NZ flag is a selfish idea. In my opinion changing the flag is not only a waste of valuable money, people are also getting ignored by parliament, but is disrespectful to our soldiers who fought under our current flag. I feel that as a country we need to look at all the needs of our country rather than the wants.

The changing of the flag is costing our country $27 million of our taxpayers money. Now let's have a look at the needs! With this $27 million we could get for example 550 Nurses, 684 Doctor rangers, 554 Physiotherapist, 545 Primary school teachers and 472 Police officers.

The country has had surveys done throughout New Zealand and it has come out that two thirds of people don’t want the flag changed but the government has still “invested” a few million dollars into the design of the flag. This is a waste of money as the country might not even go ahead with the changing of the flag. This shows that people are also getting ignored by the parliament. So many people have tried to protest toward their personal opinion but with no luck as they are getting ignored but they continue with the fight for what they believe in.

The changing of the flag is incredibly rude toward the soldiers who fought under our flag. They risked their lives to fight under our flag but with no reward as parliament have decided to change the flag with no respect to these soldiers.

I hope I have convinced you that changing our flag is a bad idea as we are wasting money, ignoring people's opinions and being disrespectful to soldiers who fought under our flag. I feel that as a country we need to look at all the needs of our country rather than the wants.

My Poetry Anthology

Pet day at yaldhurst school

When I got to school on Wednesday morning it was pet day but not yet. When we finished creating our sculptures and sand saucers I put my vegetable sculpture in the Wharehui but when I came back my sculpture had fallen over. So Mrs S got a glass to put my sculpture in to make it stand up. 

By the time it was 10:40 in the morning it was pouring down with rain and hail I thought pet day was over but it wasn't because pet were coming in.The kids had to go to the library to find out who was the judges were.The big dogs where judges in the spare class.By Grace.Mc

On Tuesday 11 of February at 10am to 12pm  at the school pool, the yaldhurst Domain and the school field. Ruby was swimming,I was biking and Brianna was running.

I was waiting at my bike.I heard the clapper, yay! Shes started ,I better get ready. I saw her coming ,we hi-fived.

I raced down to the domain pushing my bike. I got on the my bike and stared to pedal very very fast on the bit that wasn’t  very long. Before I knew it 3 laps had gone. It was very hard to ride on the long grass but I made it.

I rushed down the the path I hi-fived Brianna and  then I collapsed.
