My Holiday Writing


Last Friday my family and my relatives had a great party it was so awesome. The first  thing we did was called our relatives and invited them to our party. My mum and dad were bringing food and I served it and then had drinks but not me, because I was hungry instead. So after drinks we had snacks my favourite one as well but it turns out my favou` rite are their favourite so I had less during snack time,  I had got out my Ipad and started to play flappy bird it was fun then I got bored was on my last turn, just then my 22 year old uncle ( Roshan) sat next to me and said ' Hey what ya doing with a jolly smile on his face". Then I relied ' just playing flappy bird" then he said what's flappy bird ?, and I was like " ARE YOU KIDDING ME "  and he's like no never played it". So I showed him and his first score was 19 and my one was 18 just one less than him, after that I told him to download but he didn't pay attention anyway's.


At 7:30 my dad and all my uncles went outside to have a drink. "Come on lets not be crazy here" replied Dhara, I have never seen anyone in my family drunk I mean never in my entire life. So they went outside and got the BBQ out to cook the meat, so I was so excited and hungry I kept went outside and inside just to check if it was ready or not so I sat there bored. Just after 3 or 4 minutes later it was ready suddenly my mum had spicy rice with chicken in it and so did my aunt, and my mouth was watering and dreaming the table was already ready and the food was placed and we just digged in so everyone had normal amount of food in their plates but mine it was like if I had made a food tower out of it, and suddenly I just lost it because I didn't have snack well just a little, but I did eat anything until it was time for the dinner.


At 8:00 my plate was spotless and I was really full but I didn't get fat, which was odd, so we all sat down for a while and played a game together called what am I acting like it was really fun, at 8:40 we had ice cream and said our good bye's.





My Math strategy.

My question is 224 - 78 = ? so here is how I solved it

Show Not Tell 2


Feeling down


It was the last minute of the Match Basketball competition. Tama was in one of the teams shoots three times with all his might but doesn't make it. He was thinking to himself ‘ Why am I not doing right, did I forget something, what’s wrong with me” he sighed until one of the team members say something that Tama didn't like he tried to fight back but he failed and lost the game



Excited
Mary was screaming and shouting ‘ yay finally I am going with Jan for shopping, to get a beautiful dress” Just then Jan said that we are going in a few minutes but in a rush Mary was panicking, her hands were sweating she had goosebumps all over her body Jan felt tired she sighed and thought of leaving Mary at home and just go without her.



Show Not Tell


Angry Laura
I might go shopping thought Laura and went to get her car keys and her bag just then her little sister saw her taking her bag and asked her kindly if she can come too, Laura scrunched her face and her hands clenched into a fist and said with a growl ‘ No! you're too young to go shopping with me “ and went away poor Emily sat down on hugged her knees with her head hanging down and started to cry.

Nervous Keri
It was 8:20 and keri was supposed to be at her tournament, she was too busy rushing putting on her clothes until 8:25 keri ran with speed into the car once she reached at her destination, it was 8:30 just in time to get ready she tried to act normal, but she was feeling anxious her palms were sweating with fear, she felt goosebumps all over her body, then the games started.

Poem About Myself

My name is Dhara 

And I am 12 


I hate sickness and glumness

But I love kittens and puppies 


They are cute and cuddly


Instead of running I like games


During games they tease names


But that's how it is


So let mind our biz 










About Elizabeth Hegarty ( author from river salt)

Elizabeth Hegarty's is Originally from the UK, Elizabeth Hegarty's family live in Auckland. When she was seven they have always been a very bookish family, and with an editor for a father Liz could never get away with any  misunderstands or misplaced apostrophes. Liz went to university, studying French and English literature, and after a few years Liz went overseas travel in Europe, Liz and then-boyfriend Liam returned to New Zealand to settle down and get married. Her beautiful daughter Molly was born in 1995.

Liz worked as a business analyst for the past 12 or more years, in IT and corporate strategy, across banking and retail. In 2006 Liam and Liz decided that they'd deserved their time in the rat-race, and moved down to a tiny place called Canvas town, at the foot of the Marlborough Sounds. They now live in secluded valley, with a river running behind the house and a 50-minute drive between them and the nearest supermarket. Liz has said that the change has been a wonderful experience, and has given her time to focus on writing and painting, although she still does analysis on a semi-freelance basis for several New Zealand retailers.

Kakapos


Kakapos are endangered birds, they are low parrots, they are endangered birds because when the first Maori settlers came to new Zealand the had no food and they were hundreds of Kakapos and then the Maori settler thought of eating the Kakapos since their were so many of them and just carried on eating them. Kakapos can live to be 95 years and above average, they are important species to New Zealand like kiwi birds as such. an interesting fact that Kakapos can climb trees, they are the worlds heaviest parrots of all time.

Kakapos are flightless, fight less and nocturnal. when Kakapos are on their diet all they eat is plants or plant berry's but normally they will fruits from Rimu trees and the seeds of the Manukau Kakapos live in forests they don't live in a trees they stay on the ground just like I said before Kakapos a flightless birds, Kakapos make their nest in smalls perfect holes for them. If a predator comes near by they will camouflage themselves because their feather are color in moss green, dark light brown and little white to combined in the forest or hide in their hole with absolute silence. here is a quote I found.


There are many ways to help the kakapo get removed from the critically endangered list. One way to do it could be supporting a worldwide or local conservation foundation that is already in New Zealand trying to increase the numbers of kakapo. 
The Kakapo Recovery Team is a group of conservationists and volunteers that help make sure the remaining kakapo are healthy and ready for breeding. They do many things to improve kakapo including, regulated health checks, controlling the predators, feeding and hand raising. 
This non-profit organization receives many donations and volunteers who are flown in to a conservation island to help the diminishing numbers of kakapo.

Another way you can help is simply by spreading awareness. Many people know that animals are becoming endangered but they aren't aware of the rate at which how fast it is happening. The rate of extinction is 4 species per hour and there is an unprecedented rate of endangered species. As of 2004, there are 15 589 species endangered which was an increase of 3300 since 2003. The kakapo could easily be one of those extinct if we, humans continue our harmful actions against the animals.
