Leadership conference

At the leadership conference there were many speakers. Some of these speakers included: Henare O’keefe,Jamie Edwards, Paora Winitana and Joe, the head boy from Hastings Boys High School.

Henare O’keefe was funny and he taught me that people are nice out of the boxing ring, even though they are enemies in the ring.

The person I liked the most was Joe and he is the head boy at Hastings Boys High School and he told me be more enthusiastic and too be excited about going to school. He told us to represent your school and to be nice to one another, so they will like you back.

When we left the building I was inspired by all the speakers and I’m going to try to do all the things they had said.

Buddy writing

To day room 8 came to room 3 and we had to pick a image to describe. My buddy Braxton picked the topic of trucks:

Braxton.

The color of this truck is orange like the sun.

and the length is as long as a limo.

It is so shiny that if you look at it you go blind.  

The gas tank is so big it can fit a house in side of it .

Descriptive Writing

This term we are writing descriptive pieces.We are using figurative language.Here is an example from an image I chose.

This truck's engine is a 451 caterpillar turbo charged engine and it pulls like a like a beast high on Energy drinks.

If you hear a loud noise in the distance you now it’s that truck trying to cause trouble in your neighborhood.

If you dare to look at it’s wheel hubs your eye will burst into flames because it’s so shiny and so awesome.

When you see this truck refueling you know it is drinking the whole land.

When you get into this truck be prepared for the ride of your life.
