This piece of art represents a house I am in at school which is Pukeko house. The representation of blue at the top of my page represent the sky (Ranginui). The lime green and koru shaped like a heart represents the mountain range. The blue running through the middle of my art piece represents the stream and the Papatuanuku is represented at the bottom of my page with the lime green and silver fern.

Jazmyns basket ball skills!!

 here I am dribbling the ball with my left and right hands. I can dribble the ball while looking at the camera.

 here I am passing the ball to somebody directly at them.It is much easier to pass the ball when I have my left foot in front of my right foot and then I have my left leg bent and my right leg straight because it helps me to get more power in my body to throw the ball

 here I am shooting the ball into the hoop. Is what I did was as you can see I jumped and that helps but also to take my time to aim and slow down before shooting the goal.

Uniforms are important.

Uniforms are important

I think that uniforms are important and I have lots of reasons why and here they are below.

If you have a uniform you can show what school you are from,you can pass your clothes down to family and friends and also you don’t have the kids coming into competitions about who have the best clothes.

Firstly When you have a uniform you can represent what special school your child attends to.If the school is doing a competition against lots of different other schools then your child needs a uniform because if there are parents that want to move their child to a different school and they walk past and notice that the students are very well behaved at Parkvale because they will be able to identify where the children are from of their uniform,(and who often wins)

Secondly you can pass your clothes down to family or friends instead of having to spend more money on more uniforms.

When you pass the clothes down then the people at the desk in the office do not have to order more uniforms and spend their time doing that instead of doing more important things.

If you do decide to pass your clothes down or to sell them honestly you are helping everyone.

Lastly when you have a uniform you the teachers and the students do not have to worry about bullying because if you have a uniform then the students will not pear pressured into having different clothes such as Nike,Puma,Vans,DC's and Adidas which are now days called the cool clothes.It also apply's more pressure to the parents to buy the clothes also then the children will likely have a hissy fit if they can’t have them.

So lets keep it cool and calm at home and school!

Keep the uniforms.

Drop Kicking By Jazmyn,

Figure 8 knot.

first you need to begin with an end of string in each hand then you bring your right side of the string over top of the left side of the string...








Bring the string on top behind the other side of string shown in the picture beside...

With the piece of string that you just put around the back now needs to loop over and go through the hole but through the side that is facing you...

pull tight and that is what you should have!!

Thank you for ready and remember practice makes perfect and soon maybe you'll be sailing an optimist yacht!!

here are a few of the features on an optimist yacht

MARSHMALLOWS

MARSHMALLOWS                                                                

As I pop my head out of the luke warm water I see a bright light coming from above a short cliff not far from here.I slowly drift up on land when I see a terrible sight this thing is so hard to describe it didn’t have 4 feet with the same amount of toes it didn’t have colored skin and worst of all it didn’t have green sharp teeth.It did have 2 feet, 10 toes,white creamy coloured skin and he had white shiny teeth as he was walking along the beach.

I finally walked on the cliff after drying off when a whiff of roasted marshmallows flew by.

I followed the scent of the marshmallows when I came across a little boy roasting my  marshmallows I slowly walk up to him when I step on a rotten stick which snaps in half.The little boy turns around in a hurry and jumps up as fast as a rabbit. I see the marshmallows on the dirty unwashed crumbled up sticks in his hands all roasted,toasted and delicious.I snatch one out of his hand then we look eye to eye I smile he odly smiles back he grabs 2 more and throws them as I am running to get them I turned back to see him eating one I take one big jump which makes three enormous trees fall down exactly in the position I hoped like a triangle that blocked him in. by the time I had got back to him he had just about climbed over when I picked him up by his trousers and I went to chomp him  when I heard a little girl screaming I turned around and it was another camper I dropped the little boy in shock when I saw her with my children on her feet.

I went to leap for her when my children leapt off her feet and bit me right of the cliff and by the time I got back up the cliff the campers were gone with my children.

THE END!!
