My Speech

We need to cut down on vermin

Statement

When you ask someone what animal they would wish to be, they probably say to be a bird, but in New Zealand being a bird is proving to be tricky. An estimated 25 MILLION native birds are killed every year by pest. It's all because of vermin [ vermin standing for mice/rats/possums etc ]. Cats are to blame as well and the majority of us, have one.

Paragraph 2

In NZ we have a high death rate of native birds and that's why they are mostly endangered, and it’s because of because of vermin. The vermin group mainly consist of: Mice, Rats, Stoats, Possums etc, and this group alone kill 25 million native birds a year. that amount of birds if exchanged as people would fill in the populations of the following: Bulgaria, Denmark, Singapore, Ireland and qatar altogether and still have some room left over. At this rate, sadly, we won't have any birds left in a few decades.

Paragraph 3

As well as NATIVE birds go, you have to remember all the other types of birds that get killed by the pests, and it's not just vermin that do this. CATS alone kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion , yes billion birds worldwide every year, yes they do kill more birds than cats. But let's not forget that 1.4 billion [ at the least ] is roughly the same amount of people that were living in CHINA from July 2016, or one 5th of the entire world population.

Paragraph 4

All everyone has to do is get a few mouse or rat traps to eliminate the vermin population and, they only cost a dollar fifty each and cheese  costs $9 per kg! Which is enough for a tonne of mouse traps. You could catch hundreds of mice and save THOUSANDS of birds and you can shoot and hunt possums, which is fun if you don’t have mouse traps, but anyway. That's my speech on vermin and hopefully New Zealand will do something about it.

My Certifacate

Viking girl
Jess [ or the viking girl ] was going to a fancy dress up party with her two friends. When she got there she was greeted by one of her friends and her mother. She asked if she wanted some of the delicious chocolate and vanila cake that was sitting on the stand practically shining, it was just what she needed! She got a tenth of
The cake which is a pretty good portion I would say. When her other friend arrived she was just finishing off her cake and when her friend got a portion she got a ninth. When she saw this her nose screwed up  like nails and her ears went maroon, the rest of them saw this brewing in her face, a little bit of drool came out of here open mouth befo...WAAAAAAAAAAAA SHE GOT A BIGGER CAKE!! I WANT MORE LIKE HER WAAAAAAAAAA. The Mum tried to calm her down by giving her a teeny tiny piece of cake but she didn't care. Eventually she had to call her parents and on the way home she had a nasty frown wiped onto her face to whole drive back.

Selfie Writing - 1st Draft Tom

BANZAI!!

I was greeted by a group of men while boarding my airplane, my airplane was a Japanese a6m zero, perfect for the job i’m about to do. They help me get into my aircraft and start the engine. My death poem makes me feel better all pilots from our regiment were told to write a death poem, mine reads: Duty comes heavier than a mountain, death comes as light as a feather. They salute me when I taxi down the runway and take off, knowing that this is the last memory of land the rest will just be sea. Fred my mate in the regiment we flew next to each other and looked at each other but not in a casual way. We just stared at one another with bloodshot eyes the ships come into sight and then the loud bang and crunch of the AA guns on the ships. Fred gets nailed by 2 two 303 browning machine guns and his head flunks on his instrument panel. I aim my plane up and take  my arms of the stick, wrap them around my chest as the noise gets louder.

I was a baker [ yes I was ] at a place called baker bob's, one time a customer came and ordered something of the new employee so I asked him, what are you eating? And he said something from one of the bakers he said and so I said “ oh well how does it taste?” “ Well how should it taste?! “ he said with a bit of aggression.

I decided to leave him alone but when I did he started to turn green “ Is there something wrong with it or is it you I said “ and with that he just walked out of the shop.

Insect Writing.

Insect Writing.

Once there was a spider but it wasn't just a spider it was a sydney funnel web whose nest had just been stomped on by a human.He growled and snarled in disbelief,”Stupid humans”,said the spider.”I will avenge my nest by stabbing him with my awfully huge fangs!”,said the sydney funnel web.So he ran inside and just as he got through the door he nearly got squashed the human went”AHHHHHHH”, and freaked out he ran on a couch and grabbed a broom.The spider ran to the nearest dark enclosed space which was under the couch and made the human jump and get even more freaked out he panted and panted and ran from couch to couch and from chair to chair and he never got bitten.But on the 31st rotation he stayed on too long not knowing about the spiders secret plan the spider would bite every time on one of the couches and just on that rotation he got up the couch and bit the human in the butt and that was the end of him,he would die in ten minutes and that was that and the spider scurried back to his nest.

My Learning Styles

My learning styles.

I am Tom because I ski

My learning style is kind of weird but I like it and it works out for me I find it best when it's a bit loud it helps me focus.I like lying on the floor a bit because it's more comfy than sitting in a chair and that's a good thing.I’m not a big fan of having work that's not finished because I tend to forget about it and then it's annoying because my tote tray is stuffed.I love using the computers because typing is so much easier than writing with a pen.I don't like working alone it's more fun with other people.Writing an assigned story isn't my favourite either I prefer to make up my own story because it gets more interesting and fun.I also having the lights off and eating while i'm working because I like it gloomy and not bright and having some food while I work will mean I won't starve which is a good thing.

These are pretty much my prefered learning styles but i will still do all that teachers put in front of me.

My Visual Mihi Blurb

Visual Mihi.

Well for starters I'm in the middle.

The red barriers that separate each section are actually the Union Jack because it's where I come from.The first box has the four stars in the New Zealand flag because it's also where i'm from and where I live.The second box is a koru pattern of my immediate family.My Dad’s in blue,Mum’s pink,George is green and I am yellow.There's a frog because we have pet frogs,my dogs are there also. The one that’s drooling is Buddy because when I tell her to wait when she gets her food she's always drooling all over everything.The one with the scruffy coat is Beau. I couldn't really think of anything for him to be doing so I gave him a scruffy coat like he has in real life and the penguin is there because Penguins are amazing.The next two boxes are [most] of my hobbies,reading because I love it,then hockey because it's my passion and my favourite school sport by a long shot.In pink is skiing because it's my second favourite thing to do.Mountain dew because it's amazing and it's my hobby to drink it, lastly swimming I put it in because I do it every week and sometimes weekend and I'm really good at it.The next box is about things I like. First in blue are dogs,in green cats,in brown video games,in orange chicken fried rice and asian foods,in red penguins,in bluey greeny are whales.The next two boxes are places of significance. Firstly we have the hockey turf,which is where I score goals and skillz peeps,then Mount Ruapehu-Whakapapa side. It has buildings because its more popular than the next picture which is the Turoa and lastly we have the ocean.Then we have my future picture and it's me on top of my ten story skyscraper throwing all my moo-la all around screaming “it's good to be a trillionaire.’’The last thing is the border which is made of puzzle pieces which means all of the things in my visual mihi represent me and that,”I AM COMPLICATED!!”
