Te Reo Maori- Should Be Compulsory?

  Te Reo Maori- Should be compulsory?

What do you think about Te Reo Maori? If you go to school, do you learn
it there, and if you do, do you enjoy it? Te Reo Maori is another language in
New Zealand. At my School, we do learn it. We have a Maori teacher, and
we have Maori lessons.

It is important to learn new things, especially things related to your country.
It is also quite cool to know things that you can teach to others as well. For
example, if you know something that your friend doesn’t know about Te Reo
Maori, then you can talk to them and teach or tell them about Te Reo
Maori, and then they will know/learn something new about that language.

If you are a little kid, or you have a little kid, and they go to school and learn
Te Reo Maori, then they will know more about it as they grow up, or when
they are much older. If you are learning Te Reo Maori, and you want to get
better at it, then practice, and help from others, makes perfect! For
example, if you learn a new sport, or song, or language, then you will
know more about that, and be able to tell others about it, and teach them
when they are older.

If you know more than one language, then good on you! Knowing Te Reo
Maori and maybe another language, is being bilingual, and that’s pretty cool!
Te Reo Maori is a very cool/important language, and learning it is pretty
great! Knowing another language, means that you can teach other people
as well (as said/wroten down in the other paragraph.)

In conclusion, I still agree on what I wrote. But it’s very exciting to learn,
It teaches kids a lot of different and new things, when/if you learn it then you
can teach a whole bunch of others, and it is important to learn. If you just
read this whole piece of writing, then thank you!

Cross Country

Yesterday Pt England school had Cross Country. It started at 1:00, and went from year 1-8's (Like every year.) It went in an unusual order this year though. I know quite a lot of people who weren't very excited for cross country, but I also knew some other people that were very excited, so it was very mixed.

The time before cross country for each class was spent in home class. We got changed into our house colour clothes at 2:15, and I noticed most of the year 8's dressing up fully for their last year at Pt England. Then we all had morning tea, and an early lunch. Then, it was time for cross country. Everyone was getting ready, talking, putting sun screen on, everyone at the water station was setting up, and (Even though most of us had sun screen on on,) burning in the heat.

We all made it to the end, and for the best part, was the water after the run. By the way, as you might know I am a year 7, and so the year 7 and 8's had to fun 2 laps. So it was pretty tiring and hard, but every single year 7 and 8 that came and did it, made it, and most people did their best. I enjoyed doing cross country with one of my friends, she was very engorging towards everyone that passed us, and we finished it together.

After everyone got back from the year 7's, the year 8's were off to go for their turn, and me and my friends talked and watched the others run the run, and do their thing. After all of the year 8's made it to the finish line, we all went to our teachers and went back to class, and then home from there. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
