My best friend

Hi my name is James and this what I did for my poem.
My best friend was Siotame.

He has black hair and he sings with his brother

He has flash shoes and his eyes is black and brown

He is so fast he made it to the athletics

His Dad works at the pie shops

His family goes to church on Sundays

His brother is a DJ

His Aunty has a garden full of flowers

He came from Tonga

He had a piano, a guitar and a drum

His uncle sometimes goes and cut other people’s lawn

He likes to play with dogs

After school he cuts the lawn

Then he gets to play with his friends

Sometimes he helps his dad burn the wood

Sometimes he helps his mum cook food

Persuasive writing

The topic is children should work from the age of eight.

If children work from the age of eight they would have to learn fast so they are able to do the work.

I also think that at the age of eight children should get a good job because they can earn some money for themselves.

Children should work from age eight because when their family have a funeral, they can help them pay for the funeral.

I have written why children should work from the age of eight and I hope it will happen in New Zealand.

Sc: I have used adjectives to describe.

On Thursday I went swimming with my friendly  class. First we put on smooth creamy sun screen. We used flutter boards, they were wet and slippery. I liked the cool water. Our three caring instructors put us into groups. We
learnt free style and back stroke. Then they
call us in to numbers.  I  was in  group 2. Next we hopped in to the cool blue pool in our groups.  We did backstroke, front stroke after 25 minutes we got out.

Bio Poem

James F


Lover of chicken chips fish pizza.

Who wonder I wonder that a skyline can fly in spies I wonder that a boat can sink down in the water.

Who would like to I would like to fly to the pacific ocean I would like to have lots of money .

Strong cool funny.

Who feels excited when we go somewhere cool like the beach and when I go to my cousin's 
house.

Who fears being left alone at home, the dark, deep water and sharks

Who dreams of travelling to space.
