Flag change

Everybody In NZ have their own opinion about the changing of the flag and which one they like but, the original flag I grew up with. Seventy percent of NZ want to keep it the same so that means only thirty percent want to change it. In my opinion, why waste twenty five million dollars on something small instead of on something that would make a difference in our communities and the people living here. Yes sure the national flag symbolizes our country but why have a flag that does it for us, tourist don't come to NZ because of the flag they come to see our beautiful scenery and welcoming communities. If we made our communities look better and the people in the communities happier than maybe more tourist will visit and enjoy it more.  

  

The Black Piranha

Walt: Write a descriptive paragraph

                                       The Black Piranha

Swimming in the water are a bunch of little kids, they age for 7 to 14 and swim there everyday. Splashing and skimming the top of the water, as well as stomping their feet making the water dirty. To them their just having fun but little do they know they had awaken the monster of the river, The Black Piranha.  

The Black Piranha is a fearsome hunter is the jungle waters. It’s very descriptive because it’s so dark with it’s burning red eyes and a bulldog like body. it’s not very long so it’s more maneuverable in the water making it incredibly fast. These beasts are very cannibalistic but don't hunt in packs like some other fish. They have some incredible  teeth and it’s teeth are some of the sharpest teeth on earth.  

The Black Piranha spies on it’s prey from afar not letting them know it’s there. The Black Piranha moves up closer and closer without the kids knowing, but then he strikes out. Munching down on one of the girls leg ripping a chunk out of her leg, Dragging the little girl into the deeps. All the kids charged out of the water and ran home to get their parents but when they came back there was nothing, no trace of their friend.

One dark gloomy day there was an debate over a volcano.

“I demand I get Whakaari.” demanded Mahuika goddess of fire.

Mahuika is lava red with brown eyes who has a bad temper.

“Why, you would only threaten the people into doing what you want.” Shouted Tangaroa god of the sea. Tangaroa has a kind soul. He is blue with baby blue eyes and has tribal markings on him. “Settle down you two or I send you to the naughty corner.” Yelled Ranginui god of all gods and the sky. As the day passed on Mahuika kept demanding that Whakaari was to be hers. Till finally Tangaroa had enough. He Jumped into the sea and said to Mahuika. “If you want Whakaari come get it.” Threatened Tangaroa as he swam away. Mahuika Flue over to Whakaari with the biggest grin on her face saying to But as she arrived Tangaroa had a surprise for her.

Tangaroa’s children surrounded Whakaari as he stood proud waiting for Mahuika to land.  Tangaroa striked out with rage cutting Mahuika face with his Trident. She Flared up red with anger looking like the sun on a summers day. Things got real and out of hand really fast causing each one to hurt each other. It was becoming dusk and this is the time when Mahuika was at her best burning Tangaroa and throwing him around like a rag doll. Finally and the sun had gone down and it was time for Tangaroa. He turned into the biggest meanest thing you would ever see It was a gigantic water Lion that was as blue as a summer sky. But before he could hit Mahuika this happened…….

Ranginui stomp his foot. Bouf, he had heard about this and arrived just in time and broke up the fight before things got worse. He yelled at the top of his voice. “STOP!.” They listened and calmed down. Ranginui suggested they came up with a peaceful solution. So they made a treaty saying Tangaroa is the barrier protector of Whakaari and Mahuika protects the land of Whakaari.

Seven years have passed and they have had no arguments. It has been peaceful no trespassers and no fights until…….

Prototec

This is my latest score from my basic facts on prototec. Obviously I need to go back over my square roots and square numbers. I also need to learn to concentrate because I got a couple wrong and normally I get all right.
