A jingle about a shapeshifting car
This week for writing we had to make a jingle about are new type of transport.
A jingle about a shapeshifting car
A car that turns into keys?
Or even into a fluffy dog
It's a shapeshifting car that turns into anything you want it to be
“Even a hamster?” I would say yes to all the things you can make it transform in.
Driving around in a shape shifting car and driving with no keys “ That would be cool!”
Well you can buy one today and cruise around in a shape shifting car.
You would be surprised how many would love the shape shifting car as their own. So come have a look and find your shape shifting car now.
I enjoyed making a jingle about my new type of transport.
Have you ever made a jingle?

The missing child
This week for writing we had to make a narrative story I did my on a missing child from a royal family by the way its not real.
The missing child from a royal family
So there I was hiding in my bedroom, scared to come out. The police were banging at the door. Apparently there was a person who stole a child from a royal family and they have been looking for the child for years. The police have been looking in people's houses. That's why they were banging on the door but I was too scared to open it. After hiding for hours my mum came home. “Honey where are you? ” My mum said, I came out of my closet running like I was scared for my life. I hugged her as tight as I could. “ There were police at the door” I said, hugging very tightly. “Police!” My mum shouted as she turned on the television and looked at the news. They said that they were trying to find the royal family’s child.
They said that their daughter was turning ten in 3 weeks and were desperate to find her. I was shocked because my birthday was in 3 weeks. They showed a picture of what she looked like when she was a baby and that picture looked exactly like me. I ran to my bedroom to do research about the missing girl and found out what she might look like and it turns out that she looked like me. That night I was lying in bed and thinking of that girl. That next morning it was a Sunday and my mum had work so I went to my friend's house and told her about what might have happened to me. We did some more research and found out that I could be the missing child because the child went missing on my birthday and my mum could have stolen me. After my mum picked me up from my friends house I asked her if I was adopted she said no but I was curious.
That night I was looking for my computer charger and when I looked in my mum's fancy white closet I found a brown old chest with a rusty key sitting next to it. I shut my mum’s closet and ran straight to my room and opened it in my bed. What I found shocked me. It was a letter saying that my mum owed this person 1 million dollars for buying me. I was shocked.
I kept on reading and it said that the guy stole me from the royal family and sold me to my mum but she didn’t pay. I hid the chest in my closet and went straight to bed. The next morning I got dropped off at school and told my friend what happened. We both had an idea to go and get the chest and bring it to the police station while my mum was at work on the weekend. That weekend we snuck into my house and got the chest and ran to the police station. At the Police station we got the chest and gave it to them. “Wow I can’t believe you guys figured the case out” the police officer said. That night the police showed up at my house and arrested my mum and took her to jail. The police officer took me to the castle and now I am back to my real parents who are also the royal family.
I enjoyed writing a narrative

Pahurehure inlet project
This week for are learning we did a mini steam project.
How my project can help Pahurehure
This week for writing I had to do a steam project about what we can change about Pahurehure.
How my project can help Pahurehure
Hello, this is why my project can help Pahurehure inlet and what is going on there. My project is about what we can fix to stop the pollution.
Firstly, if we add rubbish bins we can stop people throwing rubbish on the side of the path or the road. Secondly, if we add native trees we can have native birds that can get food or make nests, so that they don't starve or don’t have a home. Thirdly, if we add railings then people won’t fall off and it is much safer. Lastly,having pest traps can stop dogs or pets from getting hurt. Another thing is pulling out mangroves because fish can have more room to swim and don’t get stuck in a mangrove.
So that is how my project can stop what is happening in Pahurehure.
A letter to Auckland council
This week for writing we had to write a letter to Auckland council.
Address: 23 Ray Small Drive
Date: 21 October
Auckland Council
Dear, Auckland Council
Hello, Auckland Council. I want to talk about Pahurehure inlet and what you can do to change what is going on there. Firstly, more rubbish bins need to be added to the inlet, because you can see rubbish on the side of the road and paths. Another thing is that if you add railing to the side on the path then people won’t fall off. I also think if you add more native trees we can have more native birds around the area, who can build nests and have homes. Also if you pull out the mangroves we can see the inlet more clearly. Lastly, if you add more pest traps then dogs and other pets or birds don’t get hurt or harmed. That's all that I think you should change or add to Pahurehure inlet to stop what is going on there.
Your Sincerely
From Livia,
I enjoyed writing a letter to Auckland council.

What if everyone was vegetarian?
This week for online learning are writing was about if everyone was vegetarian
N.L: to narrate
R.T. Include character
“Hey, have you heard about when everyone was vegetarian?” said Luna. “No I did not” said Lucy. “Hey! You two stop talking, the teacher is talking” said Jenny, the teacher cleared her voice. “What are you guys talking about?” asked the teacher looking at both of them. “Oh you guys are talking about when everyone was vegetarian” said John looking behind. “Want me to tell the story?” asked John. “Sure we would love to hear it” said Luna and Lucy.
“Miss, they are talking in the back,” said Jenny. She looked around and smiled. “Could you tell us about when everyone was vegetarian?” said Tim. “I was just about to explain the story to you guys,” the teacher said. The teacher cleared her voice. “It was a long time ago in 2021 the government forced all people to become vegetarian.” “Really!?” everyone said, “yes let's carry on with the story” the teacher continued. “All the animals stopped getting killed and farmers were harvesting fruit and vegetables all year round. They were tired and hard working, but people were still angry. Protests started all over the country and the government said they will close the border if there are anymore protests.
The months were passing by and no animals were getting killed and if you dared to kill or eat an animal you would be sent to jail for your whole life. One man decided to kill a sheep and he went to jail the next day. No one could change the government's mind, but one man did. His name was Freddie, he was the one who snuck into the government's house, he went into the government's room and started saying random words to hypnotize her and it worked. Freddie left her there on the chair. He made the government change the rules and let everyone have meat but there was on problem Freddie made everyone the boss of them. Everyone tried to avoid Freddie only 15 people did not get hypnotized. Now Freddie is locked in jail for his whole life and the government changed her mind about people being vegetarian. “Thats it of the story kids” said the teacher that was a very long story said all the students the rung “Well thats the lunch bell kids see you after lunch” said the teacher.

Should we open are borders
This week for writing are writing had to be about if we should open or shut are borders.
Opening statement:
Sequence of points: (Firstly, secondly, thirdly, lastly)
Concluding statement:
Facts and opinions:
Should New Zealand open their borders?
New Zealand was Covid free again until August. Should we open are borders if there is Covid in the country?. We have got many cases in the past days for example 83,82 and 75 and they all are increasing very fast. How we got all of these cases was because of the delta variant we are in lock down for another two weeks and what deltas are made of is sediment. Firstly,the case that got all of us in lock down was from Australia when we opened our borders to them, but we should have stayed closed until their cases got lower but we decided to open them. Secondly, the people who came over from Australia should have gotten a Covid test before they went on the plane so no Covid would be on the plane. Thirdly,if they did not have a Covid test then it would be hard to notice if someone had Covid. Lastly, we should learn from our mistakes of opening are borders to Australia.

My change
This week we were learning about change so we got to write a story about change.
When I was five I moved house to Papakura because that's where i my Nana and Grandpa lived. I use to live in te atatu for five years I moved because when my mum meet my dad he lived in Papakura. So a couple of weeks later we drove to Papakura. I was surprised to see lots of apartments that looked the same. When I entered inside I saw a TV and I asked if i could watch TV my dad said of course. When it turned dark I could see the stars shining as I looked through the window " time for bed " mum said has I hoped into bed and imagined if I could have a new house. A couple of months later in July, we moved house to it had a pink bedroom that I loved. The first night I was a little bit scared so my mum decided to lay down with me. The next day we did some stuff as a family. When we got home we had fish and chips. After I went to bed with no fright of getting scared. I started a new school I was very shy at first but I started to make friends also I got to take a teddy home and look after it for the night. Now I am a year five and I love it.
I enjoyed telling you my change.
Have you had a change?
