Usian Bolt (Worlds Quickest man ever)

The world’s fastest man to ever live and he is just amazing.

Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. He won the 100m in these amazing Beijing games with a world record time of 9.69 seconds and winning the hundred by a clear 2.5m and celebrating 15m before the line. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "Lightning Bolt".
Everyone is talking about how amazing Michael Phelps and he is but me I'm a classic sprint man that’s what the Olympics is about the track 100m. Every sprinter what’s to win the Olympics gold in 100m and that’s what everyone builds up to and well Bolt killed the field, by 15m he was celebrating. It was unbelievable and Phelps is amazing but he is just as good because sprinters only have 2 events 100m and 200m unlike the swimmers who can 8 like Phelps.

So in my opinion Usian Bolt and Michael Phelps are just the same ranked the same for amazing Olympians.

Kiwi Bird

Quesition1: The Kiwis extinction is possible, scientist believe that before humans arrived in Aotearoa, 12 million kiwis lived in the North, South and Stewart Island. Today the population has plummeted to around 50-60,000 birds. This means that there population over the last thousands year have dropped over 99.5%. The adult weights about 2.2 pounds and that was enough to fight of smaller predators but since humans arrived over 1000 years ago there have being bigger and stronger mammals that could kill the kiwi easily. Another problem is that 95% of juvenile kiwis are killed in there most vulnerable period by stoats and cats; also there have been 194 in northland alone for lose or wondering dogs. I quote “It’s because of people introducing predators: ferrets, stoats, weasel, cats, and dogs” says Jeremy Magurie, manger of the Willowbank Wildlife reserve. “They are a species in decline, and if it continues at this rate, they will become extinct”. Finally it’s not only the animals doing the kiwi but people driving carelessly where kiwis are around.

Question2: A lot seems to being done to stop the kiwi extinction; in it all started 1991 when the Bank of New Zealand made a partnership with the Department of Conservation and the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society. The program covered the conservation and management of New Zealand’s, national bird. Northland alone at least 12 kiwi projects have begun since 1999 the cost of this annually is around $110 million. New Zealand’s very first community- initiated kiwi sanctuary began in1995- on Kuaotunu peninsula, in the Coromandel. Volunteers do most of the extensive predator control on both public and private lands. More recently, communities in Kerikeri, Russell, Cambridge, Whenuakite and Whangarei Heads, to name a few, have begun work to protect habitat and remove predators from large tracts of forests and farmlands.


Question3: The Kiwi as an emblem first appeared in the late last centaury in New Zealand regimental badges. Badges of the South Canterbury Battalion in 1886 and the Hastings Rifle Volunteers in 1887 both featured kiwis. Later, kiwi appeared in a great number of military badges. The Kiwi symbol began to be recognised internationally in 1909 when the Kiwi Shoe Polish was launched in Melbourne by a man with a New Zealand born wife. Soon the polish was widely marketed in Britain and the USA during WW1. The kiwi name came about inWW1 when New Zealanders craved a giant kiwi on a chalk hill above Sling Camp in England. In Flanders during the war, the name ‘kiwi’ for New Zealand soldiers came into general use. Over seas New Zealanders are still known as Kiwis. So if the kiwi does go extinct our name and national icon will be gone so will we still be called kiwis? Who knows?

When we were moving the couch there was a massive cockroach under it and then I crushed it. My dad pulled his back trying to move some plant pots so I ended up doing it. Then some people from jehovas witness called at the door to convert me but I declined the offer.

Cheese Cake

Mmmmmmmm....... don't you just love cheese cake it is the best dessert ever made. Why you’re thinking? Well, firstly they just look amazing don’t they, if you don’t believe me look at this photo I’ve got (it just makes you drool doesn’t it). Secondly there are like hundreds of different types of cheesecake e.g. Vanilla, Strawberry, Blueberry and Chocolate and that’s just to name a few. Also there are loads of different styles of cheesecake; every country makes it different but just as good. Like you have American, Canadian, French, British and Australasian, Italian and Greek and there is more than that. Finally you have the amazing taste and texture; first you have the bottom layer of crouched biscuit which you can taste but not too much. Then you have the cream cheese part which is the main bit of it and gives it its texture and finally the topping which gives its flavor and just makes it amazing.

Class Limerick

Frankie encountered some drugs,
For Luke in a profession for hugs,
While Tash and Bree,
Got high on green tea,
Drew’s best friends were bugs.

Lauren and Grace would rave,
And Isaac would misbehave,
While Scott craves pie,
Sėamus would spy,
On Vinay chilling out in his cave.

Courtney Rata can do the splits,
And Courtney Morgan despised nitwits,
While Cerise sings and dances,
Rory talks and prances,
And Stephanie chillaxes in Saint Kitts.

Gabrielle’s futures in construction,
Eve’s is in elections,
Bobbie and Brennyn,
Are always grinnin’,
When our class is in tension.

Steen and Zane are rocking,
Cassandra’s always striving,
While Hillary does her work,
Aleisha carries a smirk,
And Chelsea is amusing.
