This is my recount about the most funnest day I ever had...I had 40 minutes to complete this

Fundraising for our trip to Toowoomba

We were outside the countdown setting up the grill and buttering the buns, I was waiting for everything to be set up so that I could help out with the cooking. As I waited a customer came to the stand, I asked her what she would like to buy and she told me what she wanted so I made it then she gave me 5$ extra because I was so polite to her,I thanked her for all of her support and gratitude towards the fundraising. She left me with a smile, I had made an effort in making a good and tasty meal. My aunty told me that I had made a some amazing effort. I said “If I could make this day even more better I would”, My nan replied “yes and you might even make the people that come here happy and want to do other fun things”. I was so happy that my stomach started to growl.

When my aunty asked what I wanted for lunch I said that I wanted a burger from the stand, she said “okay but as long as you eat slow”. I got what I had asked for and I waited until we finished and for when we were ready to go back home. Once we arrived to the house I had put on a movie that we would all like to watch. That's when I had remembered that I left my lunch in the car...so as I went out to get my burger I saw my sister…..I thought she was eating the burger that my aunty got...but she wasn't she was chewing on bubblegum, at the time I was relieved that she hadn't touched anything of mine...I was also happy that she had something to eat.

I got my burger and went inside and yet..almost everyone in the house was asleep and I was thinking “I don't know what they helped out with I was the one cooking and handling the money”. I waited until at least one of them woke up so that I could go to sleep, the next thing I know is...someone walking in and yelling “WAKE UP WE NEED TO GO” my eyes were wide open and as quickly as anything I ran out the door to find my mum in the car waiting for my nana, I told her that they were all asleep and she said “Tell them to get up because I never saw them help you out”, I tried to wake them up but I wasn't able to make them move. So instead I put on another movie and played the start with the volume up so loud…when I played it they woke up screaming and yelling to turn it off...I stood at the door laughing at them, that's when my sister came in and turned the Tv off at the switch.

“I told them to wake up but they didn’t listen to me” my sister told me that I could have made them deaf. I had no intention to do anything she said for me to do, instead I did my own thing and made myself comfortable in my own way. We all ended up walking down to my aunt's house for a meeting. I knew that we had plans for the day but the only thing I didn’t notice was that we needed to have shoes on...I was so mad that I had no shoes on and that we needed to walk. I asked “why didn’t we go on the car?” and my sister said “we needed some fresh air”. During that time we were making our way to the meeting we caught up with my mum and brother...they were also walking, I had made it all the way to the shops and yet I was out of breath and I couldn’t walk any longer..my sister on the other hand...she was running her hardest trying to catch up to me...I didn’t stop walking I just carried on. A few moments later we arrived to the meeting and I had no intention in staying and listening so instead I walked to the park. I hung around at the park for a while till the meeting was almost finished and so in that time I went to the warehouse and took a look around...OOHH….ahhh….WOOW. I was so happy I took that walk.

As I arrived back at the meeting...My sister came over and wanted to go to the park as i was walking into the room…..I told her that that's where I came from and then she gave me a mad look. I walked away and sat down on the seat listening to the talk for how we were going to go to Toowoomba, I was curious for what plane they were going to take to get there...After that we walked back home and I still had no SHOES on...after awhile of walking..We got to the house and my nana said that she didn’t know were the keys for the door were..I turned around and I looked on the ground to see if the key was around anywhere. I couldn’t find it. My nana called my Aunty to ask if she had seen the key and luckily the only one that we didn’t ask had the key..which was my sister(she was standing next to me with the headphones in her ears)I touched her on the shoulder and she hit me. I told her”I only wanted to ask if you knew where the house keys were?” she pulled them out of her pocket and I glanced at her.

I walked inside to see a Whole lot of balloons and a cake on the table waiting to be eaten, I was so surprised to see what they had planned and how all the people were already waiting for my nana to walk in. I didn’t know that it was her birthday and I also didn’t know that they had planned it all in 3 hours...It was so fun on that day sometimes I wish that I was able to go back to the same day and replay it.

THE END!!

The amount of words I used in this was (1058 words) I had alot more to talk about but there wasn't enough time for me to finish.

This is my speech (I'm one of our class speakers) I hope you like this...

Waste Management.

1.  Do you want to know something that’s making me sad and mad at the same time? Well I can tell you that there is more than a million seabirds and mammals killed almost each year just by swallowing the plastic that we throw out.	4. After all, how can this one piece of trash cause any harm to our environment? Well, all this trash has to build up someplace or another, most of this rubbish has been shipped over to different places and dumped some of it is put in the middle of our ocean. It's a garbage patch so big that the whole of New Zealand can fit into it twice.
2. Firstly,  I myself believe that pollution is a major threat all to our lands and rivers, this pollution is accelerating the changeover of Pacific communities towards consumer economies and it is increasing itself in the international trade. This is resulting in an escalation in the generation of solid and liquid wastes, and these increase the risk of coastal and marine pollution.	5.  Lastly, solid waste management. Until now, it has only been a social responsibility of the corporate world, however, in Mumbai (India) the improperly managed wastes generate 22,000 tonnes of toxic pollutants like, carbon monoxide, nitrous and sulfur oxides (sulfur oxide smells like NGAWHA) every year. These numbers are only for the city of Mumbai. This is the case in cities all across the developing world. There are numerous examples where groundwater is polluted by heavy metals and organic contaminants due to solid waste landfills.
3. Secondly, Most people are lazy and don't want to get up and find a trash can. They think that if they throw their cigarette out the car window and even spit their gum on the sidewalk instead of throwing them into a bin they would rather let other people step in it, some people would let a few napkins get carried away by the wind without caring one bit, some people will toss an empty plastic bottle in the gutter and make the road workers clean it up. My own mother is a road worker and she's picking up almost 10 to 15 bags full of rubbish a day.	6. I believe that if we can help to take down the amount of things that we have around and turn them into new and helpful things like a milk bottle you can turn that into a watering can and an old plastic bucket into a animal shower or a sprinkler. Anyway, you can still save our planet from pollution, it is to help keep the rubbish and turn it into new things. We can save more of the world than many people may think. If we all help to keep this world from destroying itself then maybe we will be able to live. My name is Tumanako Gray,thank you for listening to my speech.

In our class we are trying to fine out what matariki means and why we need it.

In our class we have researched why we need Matariki and what it is for.
I have made this to show what I know about Matariki.
