ZOOS ARE POOS

Zoos only exist for the amusement of people. They are inhumane places that are not suitable for animals. How would you like it to be taken away from your family and locked away with only prying eyes company?


Its not fair to have zoos because we have already taken so much for them like habitats and food, but now we are taking away their family as well. Everybody knows about wars and how people were sold unwillingly and made live in terrible conditions? Well this is no different, cages are not a place for animals.


You hear of kidnapping and you feel for the victim and dislike the kidnapper. You wonder how they could do that, what were thinking? To take away a mother, child, someones sister or brother you feel sympathy for their family. This is no different we take defenceless animals away from their natural home it isn't fair.

People claim they are helping animals by taking them into zoos but most animals never get out the zoo again. If you want to help animals you should come to them instead of bringing them to us. Imagine calling 111 with a broken leg and being told you had to get yourself to the hospital. Its pathetic...

There is no benefit for animals in zoos so we should invest in sanctuaries and safaris instead. If your not a poo don't go to the zoo.

Master Chef Contestant Takes Movie 'Frozen' to a whole New Level

Master Chef Contestant Mo-Mo Stachio was crowned winner after two of the other contestants mysteriously disappeared.

Mo-Mo and his egg beater.

The search started at the hotel the finalists were staying at. But clues lead to the Master Chef kitchen and the bodies were later found in the freezer. Forensic scientists have found evidence leading to Mo-Mo Stachio's egg beater, which was found at the crime scene dripping with what was later confirmed as Indigo Angel's blood.

The bodies found in the freezer.

The two contestants Indigo Angel (17) and Lemur Shell (21) went missing at 3.27pm yesterday.
The bodies were found at 1.39pm today.

Mo-Mo Stachio is still in police custody and awaiting his trail in court. So we can safely say the only cooking Mo-Mo will be doing is in the prison kitchen.

Her

Her posture is straight but her eyes shine with kindness. She is tall with tan sun bet  skin. And although her scars have sunken and  smile line crease her skin, she still gives off a youthful beauty.
Just by looking at her hands you can tell she's a builder. They are strong with tough skin, and constantly covered in cuts and bruises. She smells of warm wood, and is often covered in wood shavings. The overalls she wears are stained and baggy, hiding her figure.
Even dressed up, she had a tomboy style. I don't know many who wear dresses with boot leg jeans.Hair stuffily clipped back in her Signature updo. Her eyes give of her true self, that's hiding within her.

She is beautiful.

2MUCH4U

2MUCH4U

Vince Ford

 The car gradually picked up momentum. It left the drive and rolled down the grassy slope, picking up speed as it headed for the river at the bottom. "Awwww no," I groaned, but I hadn't seen the incinerator.

2MUCH4U is a fun and quirky story about Davin who is a normal boy who made a couple of (very stupid) mistakes and is trying to make them right. This book includes wild dogs, frisky stallions and a WHOLE  load of trouble.

Vince Ford is a fantastic writer and he really understands kids literature, he is a kiwi writer and shows it in his writing. He has written other books such as Jonty and Choc, Tribal Ash and Dog on Trial.

We would recommend it to 10 year olds up (this book contains some naughty words.) We rated this  book 4 out of 5 stars.

Overall its a fabulous funny book.

My earliest memory

My earliest memory.

I remember the day with joy even tho most of it is hazy. My Mum, sister Emma and I were down having lunch at Hot mama’s with Emma’s friend Okeey. I was 4 then and my attention span was short. It had been half an hour and I was bored and starting to complain. I remember Okeey being the goon he is, started to entertain me by pulling sugar sashays, from the cup on the table , and scoffing them down. One after the other they disappeared. I was laughing my head off, while Mum and Emma were only smirking.
That is my favorite earliest memory. :D

Music

Music

A rhythm from the soul,
a full on beat,
moving to the drums,
the lyrics slipping from my mouth as uncontrollable as the sea.

The build up then the drop,
the bass guitar,
electronic, robotic,
this is the future rock.

A lullaby to a sleepy baby,
a train to dream land,
the soft and warming melody of a mothers song,
the baby will sleep long and peaceful rocking in her arms.

The jungle song,
a tribal dance,
from young to old they sway singing to the song,
firelight illuminating there masks of feathers and wood.

From melody to hard out rock peoples souls are speaking and they all have something to say.

Mess

Mess

Piled high,
wash basket over flowing,
chip packets,
apple core left out to rot.

Floor lost for good,
never to be found,
what is that sticky syrup,
and wheres the air freshener gone?

Old breakfast dishes,
toothbrush in the toilet,
blanket near the window,
to soften his return.

Oh this mess is disgusting ,
that 15 year old boy.

Tranquility

Tranquility

The sunlight flitters through the trees leaving warm shapes dancing on my skin.
The damp dirt of the path sticks to my bare feet.
The warmth & dryness surrounds me as I step forth from the forest, into the light of the clearing & the blue, blue lake.
I climb the rock that leans over the lake, & poise on the edge.
I watch as the sun sets, & when the moon light hits the lake, I leap , arching my back, extending my arms like I am flying.

And for a moment I am.

Then I break the surface of the lake,
gliding under the water,
as warm as the air above,
& just as welcoming.

Tranquility.

Fun and Games survey stats.

These are the stats from our Fun and Games survey.

The Holy Place's and the Creepy Bell.

When we entered the church we were stunned by the amazing carving on the wall.It told a story of when the first pioneers came to UMO and built the church which burnt down around a century ago. Then they built the church we currently have.

Then we entered the room of prayer, there was an organ and a piano. Christians believe that Jesus knew that they were going to kill him, so he got all his followers and gave all his followers bread and wine and told them that the wine resembled his blood and the bread his flesh and that when ever they eat wine and bread to remember him so when in church they hand out small glasses of grape juice or wine and bread we can remember him.

Then we went back out to the room with the carving there was a secret set of dark creepy stairs once you were up the stairs you would be in a storage room with a old wooden ladder leading to the bell tower there was a set of earmuffs and a rope you would pull to make the bell ring.Whaea Jane showed us the wooden hammer that they use to ring the bell when someone dyes. The rope would lift you up a little bit.
Then we went back to the hall to play some games!!!!!!!

Superb... Sapphira, Eylish et Leah. But what are they saying?

Flower

This is our movie about a flower growing with a bright sun in the back ground. The flower in the back ground starts from nothing and grows into a nice land.
p.s Sapphira did the scream in the music.
