If I was Prime Minister
If I was Prime Minister…
- Make tax higher for the rich and decrease the tax pay for the poor because the poor should be able to sustain themselves and their family.
- Make homes for the homeless so they don’t have to live on the streets.
- Making less junk and packeted food. 1. For the health of our sea. 2. The health of our fellow humans.
- Get rid of Diesel vehicles because ¼ of the pollution is from diesel vehic
- I NEVER WANT TO SEE A PLASTIC BAG AS LONG AS I LIVE!
Science Extravaganza
In the beginning of the term we went to each senior class and did science experiments. Here is what we found.
My 2017 Speech. We should have horse riding at Owairaka School.
My 2017 Speech about Horse's. We should have horse riding at Owairaka School.
Who loves movie stars?
I mean, who doesn't?
Do you ever wonder if movie stars get any practice when they heroically jump onto their horses and gallop into the sunset? Well, if I did that without any practice, I would topple over onto the ground and look like a total idiot.
Hi - my name is Olivia and I love horses. I think that horse riding should be part of what we do at Owairaka school and in some ways it is just as important as Garden to Table or learning to swim.
So if we can have bees, surely we can have horses?
Firstly. horse riding can benefit anyone who does it in many, many ways.
Benefits include building confidence, balance and coordination by being on something a little less stable than the ground. If you are shy and nervous horses can help fix that because you need to be assertive by pulling the reins and controlling them.
Also, once you get hold of the horse you can feel so relaxed and it helps relieve lots of stress (LIKE FROM WRITING THIS SPEECH!) Ahh I need a horse.
Horse riding improves fitness. Our muscles in our legs and tummies get stronger by riding and caring for horses. Even mucking out the stables brings fitness too.
So,how would it look for our school
If there isn’t enough room for the horses and they can’t stay permanently at our school, we could find a place for them to live nearby. Each riding day they could be transported in horse floats over to our school.
Classes could have separate times to ride. The class would be split into a few groups. Considering the size of our field, riding would be on about six horses.
The first small group would be doing the horse riding. The second group would be learning how to take care of the horses from the instructor or horse teacher.
I Know you are wondering how we would pay for this all. Well I have a solution for that too. The government can pay! Im sure the government will see that it is ideal to have horse riding lessons at Owairaka. They will see that horse riding in schools is unique and will help pay for the horses and horse riding instructors and hopefully find a place for the horses to stay overnight as well. Our school would be really popular for students and parents. Also if we need to fundraise more money, over the weekend we could let the public ride the horses for a fee. That way the horses can become part of our community.
Have you ever heard of an awesome program called “Riding for the disabled”?
Riding for the disabled is an organisation of volunteers who help disabled students by regularly taking them to riding stables where they ride, groom and handle the horses. On the riding for the disabled website, I have read about a girl called Liv - she has cerebral palsy. She lives in Gisborne and does riding for the disabled.
When she gets off the horse she is much more able to walk, and she is becoming a lot stronger. Cerebral palsy causes Liv’s muscles to tighten, but the Horse riding helps to relax them and as a bonus, she has also improved her confidence. Anyway, horse riding helps anyone that does it, disabled or not.
So with all these points I have talked to you about that’s why I think that Owairaka should be a unique school with horses, The benefits are amazing for students and teachers. I promise you, if you agree with me you might be seeing an Owairaka student jump on a horse and heroically gallop into the sunset as a expert.
Join me and see what we can accomplish.
Thank you.
MINDCRAFT THE MUSICAL!
On Thursday the 21th of september the day of the production the senior school had been rehearsing for, for the past 8 weeks had finally come. Mindcraft The Musical is an awesome 5-16 year old play. The play was written by Rachel Sutherland. In association with Take a Bow Productions.
It was based on a family of six including a dog. The two main characters were two kids ‘Joe and Alex’ they are device addicted.
Alex loved snapchat and social media. She was also a cyber bully without even knowing it. As for the boy Joe, he was addicted to Minecraft and his ‘amazing’ ‘DJ Dragon’. DJ Dragon was really an evil dragon that mind controls unsuspecting victims.
On their dangerous trip through Minecraft they snached by the dragon wanting to turn all children into Minecraft zombie slaves. The dragon wants to take over the Internet and mind control everyone. Will the family be able to stop the evil dragon with their courage and knowledge. Mum, Dad, Grandma, Scratch and Alex bumped into friendly creatures and unfriendly creatures. On their way they meet Notch the Minecraft creator and glitch in the game. Notch had a cousin called Herobrine. He is a spy for the dragon but will Herobrine come to his senses will Notch needs him the most.
In Mindcraft the Musical I play as Notch. He is the creator of Minecraft and knows everything about it. I get stage fright, so before I went on stage I was really nervous. I loved doing Mindcraft the musical because when I was up there I saw smiles on everyone's faces. It is so much fun on stage with all my friends.
