The Spectacular 2 week holidays.

 Kia Ora,

Throughout the holidays has been really exciting, most of the holidays was Olivia and I hanging out( Olivia is my best friend here is her blog link  )

The First day started on a Saturday. But Saturday I had to wake up early and go to netball.

Some time later we finished I am not able to remember the score right now but sadly I think we lost.
 

When netball finished Olivia's dad Simon offered if I would like to see the hotel room in Sumner and just hang out for the day.

It turned out to be me staying the night but something quite odd happened. So Olivia and I were going for a spa nice and warm right. So this place was creepy they had security cameras everywhere. But I got out of the spa cause we forgot to close the door so I went to close the door,I went across the deck, down the stairs, around the corner and to the door. So I shut it all good I started walking back to the spa. I was fast walking to the spa cause it was freezing.I tripped over a sandbag that holds down the spa cover, going face first in to the spa. So we ended that night on a funny term.

Then I stayed at Olivia's all the way to Thursday and we basically spent all our time skateboarding and rollerskating.

It came to Friday nothing really exciting happened on Friday or Saturday. We had no netball on Saturday.

Sunday yes finally the exciting part Olivia came and slept over on Sunday.

Then Monday we woke up around 5:50 because we had a plane to catch to go to Auckland.

When we got to Auckland we checked out this place called Media Works.

After Media Works we caught a ferry and rode it to Waiheke island.

For the whole week we were in Waiheke having so much fun.

If I told you about Waiheke Island from everyday this would probably take hours.

Lets just say they have nice shops, we did long hikes, weather changes quickly,everyone is super friendly and their food is really good.

We came back Friday, we landed around 3:00pm Back into Christchurch. 

Saturday we had Netball but I was not their because I had a cold that is mainly the reason for me not being at school.

Sunday I just chilled at home teaching my dog some tricks she knows sit, stand up, bounce ,lie down, almost twirl and she is really close to being able to play bang. If you are not sure what the game "bang" its basically me saying "Bang" and her plying dead.

So that was my holidays I hoped you enjoyed hearing all about them and I wish to see you commenting on my blog once again Thanks! ( two photos below from Waiheke)

Persuasive Writing, to D.T

 Hello this week for reading in my group we have been trying to do some persuasive writing to Donald Trump  ( Disclaimer this is not actually being sent to Donald trump).Our goal is trying to identify key points of what we are reading and discuss different languages to persuade our readers to give reasons for their opinion  How much do you know about Climate Change? What do you want to learn about Climate Change? Please check this out and comment on it- Thank you!



Dear Mr D.Trump,
 I heard that you don't believe in Global Warming, is that true? I am a Year 7 student at Belfast School named Isabella. I am writing to persuade you to help us with Global Warming. At the moment there are places like Antarctica that are melting because we are putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by driving petrol cars that's caused Antarctica to melt. Since Antarctica is melting, the sea levels are rising.
The difference between weather and Climate Change is that weather is what the temperature  is like in a day . Climate Change tells us what the weather is going to be  tomorrow, next week or in the future.
Global Warming is something that makes the heat rise in the temperature that is causing the ice to melt.  With the ice melting means that all animals like polar bears and penguins' homes are getting ruined.
That means we are losing a lot more animals than we have right now.
Also with the heat rising means that animals are dying because there are animals like huskies that don't like the heat and can possibly die in the heat.
A way you can help to defeat Global Warming is using electric cars. Or you can do some gardening whether you plant trees or vegetables.
A person actually can't see Global Warming even though it's all around them. So i’m guessing that's one way, why you don't believe in it but I 100% promise you it's real. 
In the past 100 years humans have been increasing greenhouse gasses by using fossil fuels, petrol cars, factories and more.
Global Warming is a serious problem that is happening all over the world so we all need to come together and try and defeat it. I really hope you can be one of those people.
Okay enough with me talking, it's your turn to tell me if you believe in Global Warming or not.
-Isabella.
