Writing Sample

I grew up as a student at Pt England School, it is a really special place for me because it has been open for years and years, also they have started a new intermediate there, I have been to Pt England School since I was five and that is why it is special to me and my family, my family really loves Pt England School  and I do to.

We also have a Pt England Way in our school it is all about Respecting others in different ways by using Empathy caring for each other and also helping one another, we also have a Principal who cares very much for the teachers and the students his name is Mr Burt,  he has been at that school for years he has worked very hard to to make Pt England a better school.

There are also  alot of classes they are building and a little bit of new teachers who have started Pt England School, also our school has Athletics on term 4 and we also have Cross Country on term 3 and that is near the end of the year Athletics is when you do different sports.

Our school has alot of technology to teach kids how to use it, years 4 to 8 have netbooks but first each kid has to pay their own netbook throughout  the year, and that is why we also have special teachers who help through the year with sports and all sorts of things that happen at Pt England School.

We also have Prefects who care about Pt England and try their best  to look after the school, also we have ambassadors who go to many different places and talk about what Pt England school does throughout the year, and last but not least House Captains who also work very hard towards the upcoming events through the year each kid in the school gets put into a house color, the house colors are Te Arawa, Takitimu,Tainue,and Maatatua these are the colors of each house in the school.

My experience throughout this year is to never give up on school because once you go to college and then drop out how are you gonna get a job and have your own  house, that is why you always come to  School to learn not to muck around and that is what I have learnt through this year and also making sure that you have the right attitude class cause most kids go straight to DETENTION I learnt alot of new things and new rules in Pt England School,  “Why Not You Have a try at Coming Here And See What It Is Like”?

Fia Fia Night

Before trotting onto the stage my palms got sweaty and and hot it felt like i was burning as I saw the big crowd of people,  as I gazed up ready to dance it felt like I was in a dream but no it was real I felt determined ready to dance at the front of millions of people.

After our performance I felt so happy because now and on we don't need to practise or get busy into fia fia it felt so good that night, because there were a lot of people who came to support Point England School that lovely wednesday night.

The thing I have learnt from Fia Fia is to always be proud and just be proud of who you are and also where you come from also to show Respect to others and different groups that are performing.

What is a council flat? A council flat is a flat where there are only three or two bedrooms also it means that the family can pay a little but the council can pay the rest.

Do you think his little sister knew what was happening between mum and dad? Use evidence from the text to support your answer. The little sister did not know because she asked her brothers “why cant Dad come with us”.

What was the young boy wandering? He wondered the same thing, If he and mum could not live together anymore, why can't dad come and live next door to us in the city.

Why does it say “the morning we left when we were sitting in the car dad through the window and kissed all of us, even mum”? Why did the author mention “even mum separately and say the word even? What is the author implying? Because he still loves her and the kids and also he will miss mum too.

For what reason would the young boy have cried? how did he deal with his emotions instead of crying? He thought he might cry but he did not instead he yelled to the kids “SHUT UP AND SIT BACK IN YOUR SEATS PROPERLY”.
