  Carbon is one of the 118 elements that make our planet, it is used to make coral & shellfish then gets turned into limestone. Carbon is in every life form like rocks and soil, hummus has 70% carbon in it. Carbon can form with other atoms to make something new e.g Co2. Carbon can be found in millions of different forms e.g coal, oil, diamonds, and carbon dioxide  (Co2). What is global warming? Burning fossil fuels and C02 causes global warming, global climate change. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning fossil fuels e.g coal, wood, gas, and oil. Co2 and greenhouse gasses cause climate change by trapping heat. It causes air pollution and increases wildfires. What are carbon sinks? Well, it is a system that absorbs more carbon than it releases. There are three main carbon sinks: forests, oceans, and soil. Sinks absorb carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere but then the soil gets the carbon dioxide when the tree dies. The first sink is. Forest sinks: Durin...

  “ Amy hurry we got to go” “ Just a moment mum I’m almost ready” Today was the day of our holiday vacation. I was so excited that I almost packed everything. All my things were ready. I was just having trouble carrying it. “ Dad can you help me” “ Okey sweety I’ll be right there” After all the hard work of lifting and packing, we finally hit the road. The temperature was boiling hot, I was melting like a melted ice-block. I jumped to the back and opened the biggest window that was near me. We didn’t take our car, we rented a van which literally only had three windows. I slowly started to shut my eyes, when it was shut I was deeply asleep. Ding ding ding  “ welcome abroad “ My eyes opened wide, we were driving into the ship. As we were driving in I sat up and waved to the man who was welcoming us on board. We were now inside the ship and were ready to get to our room. I waited as my parents were getting a room for us, as I was waiting quietly I watched the people walk past me...

  It was a rainy day and I was in the lounge watching tv. I was watching carefully at my brother staring at my pet turtle in his bowl. I glared back at my movie in surprise. It was almost finished.  A while later I went to get a drink in the kitchen, when I got back I froze. My eyes were on my turtle’s bowl. It was empty and my turtle was gone. I looked down to see my little brother playing next to my turtle’s bowl. I let out the anger I had in me and I started shouting at my brother. But it wasn’t for long because my mum walked in and stopped me. My mum talked to me about my turtle and how I should have taken care of it more carefully, in my head I was thinking about how scared the turtle would be. The sun was up and I was eating sausages for breakfast. But I had to go to the toilet. I came back from the toilet and on the table where my empty plate was. I quickly noticed that my little brother next to my seat was chewing on food. I didn’t hesitate, I stomped towards him in an...

       Turangawaewae I glanced down feeling the cold breeze flow past me. The view in front of me was magnificent.  I watched the waves wash the sand in . The smell of the sizzling sausages was the best. The hearing of kids playing in the sand felt calming.   I layed down feeling the heat of the sun on me . I knew this was the place. I placed myself on the soft sand for a while then I stood up to see that the sizzling sausages were almost ready. The flavor of the sausages was delicious .  I feast both eyes on the horizon.  Mission bay was where I stood, where I felt welcomed home.  I said my last goodbyes before I left.  So long Mission bay I say watching it become much smaller as we drive away.

  Bella and her friends were having a sleepover. They decided to play hide and seek. Bella was the seeker, she counted to 50 sec. After a 50 sec count Bella went to look for her friends. She looked everywhere but still nobody found. After 10m she found four of them, now she only needed one more. She knew there was only one room she didn’t check yet. So quietly she went down to the basement.  Suddenly, darkness enveloped the room. Bella was scared but then it was bright again. After that, she found the last hider. After, they all went to sleep.

My mum is the most hard-working person in my family. She is always clean and whenever there is a mess she cleans it up. She does all our washing and she keeps our house clean at all times. If we are going somewhere she packs what we need before we go.  The helpful person in my life is my mum. She is always helpful because she helps me if I am stuck on something. She also does my lunch if I forgot to do it. If I am in a rush to go to school she cleans my bed for me. She helps me if I get sick or hurt. She would help get me ready for school and she would remind me if I have forgotten something. My mum also helps me with my homework. If it's hard she would explain it to me so I can understand and so I can finish it.   My kind mother is always playing with me and she always takes me to places so I don’t get bored at home. She always cheers me up when I am sad and she gives money to the poor. If I have a project she always buys the things I need for it. She cooks foo...

This is about a boy named Bradley writing a letter to his councilor that left his school.     Dear  carla, It’s a pleasure to write to you, I am so sorry I didn’t come to your office thank you for the letter. I finally got a gold star beside my name, thank you for handing in my book report. I went to Coleen's birthday party and gave her the present that you said to give from the heart but I should have not written love Bradley because they laughed. But I also laughed too even though it was still embarrassing. But then Karen the girl that was good at the sumasotes stopped it by shouting.  Coleen’s birthday party was fun. At first, I was worried I had to have a ribbon on my present but I didn’t and I also thought we needed to wear ripped pants so I cut holes in my pants, I was so worried I had to get changed six times. When we got there we heard a loud scream. I sat at the table and Coleen's mum said I must be very hungry.   We had to play games before we at...
