Dear Prime Minister John Key,

Kia Ora my name is Sheales. I am a year 6 student and I am also 11 years of age. Right now I am attending Pt England School in Auckland. The teachers that are teaching me are Ms Moala , Miss West , Mr Somerville and Miss Lavakula. I am from a gorgeous island of Niue.

The purpose of this letter is to let you know about how tossing rubbish away is affecting our environment.

As I said the problem is people are tossing their rubbish away and it is ending up in our drains and waterways. It is a big problem because it’s affecting our animals and fish. For example when birds are hungry and fly over water, they see plastic thinking it is fish. But then they die because they can’t eat anything else.

What I suggest you do is gather some people to help you organize a group that can help clean the environment, so that the environment doesn’t get any dirtier. Otherwise we won’t have clean water, much food source or even a place to live, or you could gather people from communities to help clean the environment.

I have done some research and I have found that litter that is tossed into the ocean doesn’t just float around it also travels long distances with the currents and winds. Not only does the rubbish affect our marine sea life and birds. The amount of rubbish that is being tossed away into the ocean washes up on beaches, are caught on fishing lines and it can also damage motors in boats.

Your Sincerely,

Sheales

My Artwork & Narrative

As you can see I have created a artwork for extension. I also wrote a narrative to go with it. Here is my narrative.

                                      My Warrior Narrative.

There was once a beautiful young princess warrior called Siale who lived in a village in the Pacific. Even though she was a princess, she would always protect her village from danger. She was so brave that she would even fight people who were much larger and stronger. Her best features were her loyalty and strength. Siale lived in a beautiful village that was isolated from other villages. It was located near the sea so that the villagers could easily collect and catch food.

One day Siale was talking to her siblings when suddenly out of the blue she had a strange feeling. She dashed to her fale telling her family ‘‘I have a really a strange feeling that something is about to happen’’. Next she told the guards to go to the look out. Afterwards they thought that they had seen nothing, but then they had another look and they saw what they thought were their worst enemies coming towards them.

The guards quickly called out for help and everyone was worried.  Siale's mouth felt dry and her hands became sweaty as soon as she saw her worst enemies entering her village. Terrified, she had nothing to say or do, except face them.  The guards and men from the village were ready to fight.

Everyone stood still waiting for the battle to begin. Then a powerful looking warrior came to the front. Siale looked in shock as she realised that it was her long lost brother. They were going to have a battle but they didn’t. Instead they just shook hands and then hugged. Siale couldn’t believe what had just happened. Now it was time for the village to celebrate.
