Why do we need school

 Why do we need school?

Why do we need school and why do we go to it? well there are some bullet points down below explaining why we need to go to school and why it is important. But first what is school well it’s something we attend to learn how to read or write or how to divide numbers if you ever need to in life. And the bullet points down below tell you some of the ways school is important. Now when do we go to School. At the ages of 5 to 16 we need to attend school if you are over those ages then you don’t have to.

• To learn

• To get a job

• To socialise

Now let's explain more about why we need school because bullet points might not be enough.  Children need to go to school to learn and to make friends.  

Children go to school to learn. Some of the things you learn at school are important for life. So school is extremely important as school prepares you for life 

It teaches you to become a normal functioning person.

Going to school will help you get a job. You need to learn maths to become an accountant. You need to know how to spell to become a writer. You need to know how to read so you know what you're ordering at a food place or to read directions.

Going to school teaches you to socialise.  School can teach you some really good social skills. It also teaches you about physical education which is also really important. Again social skills are very important as the friendships you make when you're five you could still have those same friends when you're 25. So yes school is important as almost all the reasons explaining why school is really important have been written down here. imagine how you would be without ever attending school?

Kioma has to run around  touching the pou and then runing into the middle to get a try once Kioma has scored they have to do a kick off in te marama Kioma also has two guardians in the middle to protect the tupu and stoping Taniwha from scoreing. Taniwha has to hit the tupu with the ball to score but they have to shoot in te roto but there can only be 4 shooters in te roto and Kioma can not enter te roto. Taniwha can also go for a jump shot aslong as they shoot before they touch the ground.
i have also found out that the game was mainly made so maori tribes could keep the peace between them by playing this game.

And that is all the rules and facts about Ki O Rahi i hope you enjoyed

My Narrative Writing

Today we had write a narrative this is what i wrote:Years ago dragons traveled around the world.

Having the greatest of adventures. Until mankind was filled with fear thinking that dragons were too dangerous for the world. They opted to bring this species to extinction.

But there was one dragon, a very special dragon that was the king of all dragons and his name was Fangs. Fangs was going to be very special. Even more special then he already was. 

As the struggle for survival became harder and harder for the dragons. the humans discovered a weakness that the dragons had. It was some sort of pison said Fangs, well of course it would be poison, Brenton said Brenton was the best friend of Fangs. They were very close. (Crumble) what was that? Said Fangs i don’t know i think we are being under attack! Shouted Brenton. It had become apparent that the humans had started to attack one of the dragon cities.  And this dragon city just so happens to be the one where Fangs was living at.

So wasting no time they hurried out of there as fast as they could. Fangs was accompanied by two royal dragon Guards Pendragon and Draco along with his Best friend Brenton but unfortunately as they were about to leave the city. Boom! Fangs was hit by one of the poison arrows. All though the poison didn’t kill him instantly they still didn’t know how much time Fangs had left.

But luckily they just barely made it out. 

The poison was still spreading throughout Fangs body they had to act quickly they managed to get most of the poison out but he it turns out the poison gave Fangs a dragon disease that would slowly kill Fangs. Fangs had two weeks to live. Now isn’t the time to be sad Said Fangs they had to move.

Although they did find out that there was a dragon wishing stone. so without a break they headed for the stone. After days they found the stone 1 week and 6 days had passed.  Fangs only had a couple minutes to live. Come on, make a wish to cure you of your disease Brenton said that's what they expected Fangs to wish for but. Instead he wished for a place where all dragons could live in peace his wish was granted and all dragons were free but Fangs was dying he gave up his life to save thousands in his last moments he said goodbye to his friend.

It's not what you say

Walt: we are learning on how our tone of voice facial expression and body langue effects the wayt other people understand what we are talking about.

What if?

What if? instead of a human society it was a dog society. And what if those dogs had their own dog sports? Image what they would be. And what if humans were pets or something.

I could imagine dogs might have had their own conflict with each other that started a war then what would it be about?

Or maybe instead of dogs it was cats! What kind of sports would they have, I wonder?

Wait what if dogs and cats had their own society and they went to war with each other. i think that it would be interesting to read a book about this. Well I for one would enjoy that very much! Hmmm? I might even make a book about it myself.

What if you had a dog named cat and a cat named dog. That would be weird.
