Gorilla incident at Cinnanati Zoo

A few days ago in America, a four-year-old kid fell into a gorilla enclosure at Cinnanati Zoo. The gorilla was shot dead,  heaps of people around the world think the gorilla should not have been shot, and some think it had to be shot. Personally, I think it should have been shot and. is, they had to shoot the gorilla as they should not have taken any chances for the kid to get for the kid to get any fatal injuries. Overall I think the gorilla had to be shot

Debating and local issue argument

this week with literacy we wrote local issue arguments to the Grey star editor which was not like the usual  literacy because we were writing something to show the public which I think is really awesome as I don,t get to do that kind of stuff often,  we are also doing a debate about, is the New Zealand  education system broken. I am struggling to find some information as I,m struggling to find a scholarly website.

Here is my local issue argument

I think Greymouth needs to look more colourful and tidy. The name Greymouth (in my opinion) is a description more than a name. Look at Nelson and other cities, they have more colours on their buildings not just grey and black and dull colours like that.

Let's talk about litter. Every time I go into Greymouth I see pieces of rubbish on the road, gutters, and sidewalks. That is unacceptable because it pollutes our environment and it needs to be stopped. The beaches also need to be cleaned because if the trash gets into the ocean it can be lethal to the sea life, and birds. We don’t want our ocean turning out like the great pacific garbage patch. And that is why I think Greymouth needs to be more colourful and tidier.

Cave stream reflection

                                          Cave stream

When I got to school adrenaline was pumping through my veins. When we get to cave stream scenic reserve we get our gear on and have a snack. After that Mr-sw  told us about the history of cave stream. We then walked down the path to the entrance of the cave, we  started to walk into the cave. The second my shoe got covered in water it hit me. The water was freezing cold, when we got further into the cave the water got up to my waste. We were in the cave for about ten minutes and my feet started to get numb. I struggled to get up a waterfall but I managed with a help from an adult. In cave stream there are a few side caves, some of them are dead ends and some of them join back up with the main cave. I went through one of the side caves but that was it, When we got to the last chamber I saw natural light up high in front of us. I most of us waited a while to climb up ladder. When it was my turn I grabbed hold of the rung and climbed up, when I got to the top of the ladder I had to hold on to a chain and slide across, there then was a stomach crawl out of the cave. When I got out of the cave I walked up some stairs and took my shoes of. It took 5 minutes for me to feel my feet. When it was time to go back to the parking lot I put my shoes back on and walked to the parking lot. For me cave stream was my first actual cave experience. And for me it was wet, cold, and awesome. On the way home I thought to myself that I want to go again one day.

Making the totally wrong mistake

Today when we did the run I did the totally wrong thing and feel really horrible for doing it I know I let my teacher down for making this choice. Our teacher said to us to do the run he also said to run as far as we could, And most of us including me took that as a message to run half way, So we turned back. we got told to do the full run under fifteen minutes so I tried but I did not beat fifteen minutes but If that was the timed run I would have got a better time. And I don,t know why getting yelled at pushed me to get a better time, cause basically every time we do the timed run I don,t run as hard as I know I could. I really need to make up for this mistake by pushing myself out of my comfort zone and smashing my time. As I write this blog post I think back to that mistake and think, why did I do it.
