Letter to New Zealand

Letter: Hello my dear friends and family of New Zealand who have been affected by the earthquake, I am very sorry to hear about the natural disaster that has hit most of your homes. I hope that you all know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. You should know that food supplies are on their way. I give my condolences to those who lost someone and I pray that whoever got injured will get better soon.

For those who didn’t know the earthquake was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake! It has so far been the third biggest earthquake recorded in New Zealand history. After the quake there were over eight hundred aftershocks, about 21 aftershocks every hour! There has been landslides, cracked and broken roads and sadly some people thought it cool to go looting at the same time as the earthquake hit. It says on the news that there is a possibility that there could be a Tsunami that might hit the top of the South Island in Kaikoura.

After the disaster there were still problems occurring, for example; aftershocks, looting and possibly Tsunami’s. Some families could have lost a family member. The aftershocks as you already know were over 800. Basically two earthquakes! The tsunami is likely to happen but we don’t know yet. Some adults who need to get to work can’t because of the uneven roads and most kids would have missed out on their NCEA tests because of the quake. Lots of schools and houses have been destroyed.

So to the people of Kaikoura I really am sorry to hear about what happened. I know how big the earthquake was not only by the news telling me it was a 7.8 earthquake but the night it hit it came all the way up to where I live and I felt a little quake in Auckland. So those who are leaving have a safe trip and for those who are staying be safe and I hope that your houses and businesses get fixed.

Leaving for an exciting holiday

It was a cold Sunday evening. The car was already packed and all we were waiting for were the keys still hanging up on the hook and the owners of them. Shannon(mum) and Anthony(dad) were rushing through the house sorting stuff out when finally the door burst open and our Mother came out, and close behind here our father, the reason they took long was because they each had little snacks to help us get to our destination without a rumbly stomach. So mum and dad unhooked the keys, step by step got into the car, put the slightly rusted key into the keyhole, turned it and the van successfully turned on, we were on our way.

But as my family and I were leaving home we realised that we hadn’t had dinner so while Anthony went to his workshop with two of my brothers, my mother, brother and I went to go and get some dinner. The choices were out of Wendy’s, Wendy’s or Wendy’s. So after we picked up the food from Wendy’s we drove to my father’s workshop, ate the food, and then left to travel by car for 5 hours down to a little town known as Ohakune. You must be wondering why are we going to Ohakune? Because 30 minutes away lives the great Mt Ruapehu. We are going away for 2 weeks on a snowboarding holiday!

Fact or Opinion

Do you know the difference between a fact and an opinion? in this presentation you'll learn all about facts and opinions. The main difference between facts and opinions is, facts are somethings that are always true, and an opinion is what you feel or think. It can not be proven.

So those are the basic meanings of facts and opinions. In this presentation, there are a list of things that you have to decide if they are facts or opinions. So hopefully after this presentation you shall know a lot about facts and opinions.

Easter's True Meaning to Me

Easter’s True Meaning to Me

Don’t you always love it when easter comes and you eat chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs (even though they make no sense, bunnies don’t lay eggs), and everyone has a good time talking about what they did last week and how funny it was. Have you ever thought about the true meaning of Easter?

About the man who saved us, who made us right? The one, the only, Jesus Christ who came to save us. Have you ever thought about Easter being more than just chocolate and seeing old friends and family? In this story I shall be telling you about what Easter means to me and also the true meaning to me.

This year when I celebrate Easter, I’ll be thinking about what really happened, what it was like and maybe have a few chocolates on the side. But what I think the true meaning of Easter is, is about the crucifixion of Jesus and when he rose on the third day. My family and I normally spend Friday morning in celebration, but also remembrance of what Jesus did for us. He died on a cross to take away our sins, and so now that he’s done that, we can be with him.

So this Easter, when you think about buying Easter eggs or going on an Easter egg hunt at the Auckland Domain, think about what the true meaning of Easter is. It’s still okay to eat chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs, or go and see relatives. But I encourage you to keep in mind about Jesus and the real meaning of Easter. Also, you could even tell your friends about Easter. How cool is that! So now that you’ve heard about Easter’s true meaning to me, what’s Easter’s true meaning to you?
