Coke should not be an everyday drink for children

Dear coke inventors

I strongly disagree with coke being an everyday drink for children. Here are my reasons why.

Firstly coke is very unhealthy for children. It could cause heart problems and you  could get obese. It may cause all sorts problems like these.

Secondly it is full of lots of bad things like caffeine, sugar and other things. Caffeine can keep you up all night and stop you from learning the next day. It is also a drug. YUCKY!!!

Also coke has no fibre so your liver can't process it.

Finally coke is very bad for your teeth. It can rot your teeth and cause cavities or even worse fillings. Then all of the kids with end up at the dentist and they can lose their teeth and get false teeth.

So that's why coke is not an everyday drink for children.

Why cats are the best pet

Cats are the best pet

Lots of people have pets and I think Cats are the very best pet. Some people will hate cats because they scratch your curtains, but Cats are very entertaining, amazing, and easy to look after. I am sure after you read this you will think Cats are amazing too.

Cats are very funny and entertaining. They are very smart and intelligent, so you can teach them tricks. For example, my Cat Rico can stand on his hind legs and jump up onto our fence. But  you should never tease a cat. Teaching a cat tricks can sometimes lead to teasing. You can play with them as well. You can get cat toys and use them to teach your cat tricks or just play a little game with them.

Cats are very amazing. For instance, Cats can climb trees. Most animals can’t climb trees. And another reason is, that if a cat jumped off a high place, it would always land on its feet! It can jump really high and it can sense if someone was coming up to your front door.

Finally, Cats are very easy to take care of. Unlike dogs, you don’t need to clean a cat because cats clean themselves. You don’t need to get a cage or kennel, because cats always come back home if you keep them in the house for two weeks. Dog’s need company, but cats don’t. So you don’t need to worry about your cat when you go to work every day. And if you're got a rat problem, your cat would eat them, so you don’t really need to feed them much if they eat rats. Another reason is you don’t need a backyard or big section to have a cat. You could just have it inside your house all day and if you have a apartment, you can fit a cat in there. Sometimes you don’t need to buy them a bed! they will sleep on the end of your bed most of the time.

some people might think cats are bad because they have claws, but you can get their claws removed.

Now you know why cats are amazing. They are the best pet for you. So go down to your nearest pet shop and get one now ( unless they're sold out )

The Water Cycle

the water cycle  

Introduction

The water cycle is very important. The water helps grow the food we eat. Without it we would be dead. Earth will be just a desert with no life or water.

Evaporation

The water cycle starts off as just water. The heat of the sun evaporates the water and it rises up into a cloud. This is called evaporation. eg: If I left a glass of water in the sun and go away four hours this happens. The water has evaporated And became a cloud.                                                                                                                                                  

Condensation

Inside the cloud the water drops push together creating bigger drops. The drops continue to travel up until they get too heavy and gravity pulls it down.

Precipitation

inside the cloud the drops get heavier and heavier until the drops start pouring down. this is called precipitation.

if the drops go further up the freeze and that creates hail and snow.

Run-off

when the water hits land the water travels out to sea or becomes groundwater. this is called run-off.

Conclusion

now you know all about the water cycle. it is important to earth in many different ways.

Beach

Beach

Wizzzzzzzzz, splash!

My line cast out for the third time. Zip! I wound my line in and just as suspected, the bait had disappeared.    

My dad came up to me, laughing. he showed me his bait. it was only skeletons. there must be piranhas in there he laughed.

I sighed and went back to fishing. The only thing we had caught today was a crab and a clam.

Laura, my friend, Sophie from Rotorua, little sister, was  continuing her unsuccessful plan on catching the little cockabullys on the rocks.

I was trying to find out the mystery of the disappearing bait. so far, I’m not having any luck.

I decided to annoy Laura, so I threw all her bait in the water. Laura threw a fit and jumped in the water. Splash! No one took any notice of her, so I watched the cockabullys devorer the bait. They never get caught I thought. that means….. That they are the ones stealing the bait! I’m glad that I found out the mystery.

Flaxrock

Wow I said as I entered flax rock. The walls loomed over me like a flower looming over a ant. I watched the other people climb. it looked tiring. If I had some wings I would fly up there, put some doughnuts up there and mostly everyone will get to the top.

I went over to Mr Fords wall. This must be the hardest wall I thought, as I looked up. While I was watching Josiah climb, I noticed that John had climbed to the top. wow I breathed, he must be related to a monkey or a spider Mr Ford said.

When it was my turn, Mr Ford harnessed me on and I walked to the wall. At first I was going up smoothly, but then I slowed down a bit and I started to struggle. Come on, one more rock Mr Ford urged me on.

I tried to remember what I did last time I climbed but I guess my brain was having a coffee break, because I suddenly felt like a new climber.

I looked up. I saw another rock. I reached my hand up and grabbed it.  Come on Mr Ford encouraged me.  Can I come down now I asked.

Sea Monster

SEA MONSTER!!!

I was at the beach, when I saw this thing on the rocks. I thought it was a seal. I was wrong.

It was a huge fish with rows of horse like teeth in its mouth. I was scared out of my wits when I saw the two saber tooth tiger like fangs on the front of its mouth.                           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                       

The sharp spike on top of its head, looked as if it was poking the sky.

It had leather like scales and its black eyes bore into me. A disgusting smell of rotten fish filled my nose and the sea monster slid back into the water and swam out of sight.

All I saw as it swam away was its bony tail with sharp spikes and the small fins that steered this creature through the water.

Was this creature a dinosaur that somehow survived? Could it be a threat to all mankind?
