We should not use as much plastic 

Hi, I'm a plastic bag. I have been thrown into the sea freezing all alone. I got eaten by a turtle. Its mouth opened and I was gone but when the turtle ate me it died from me so I Noticed I was threatening people. I was bad. I wanted to change everything that I have done. All the plastic things in the sea are hurting sea creatures . In the stormy sea  I was resting alone. It was cold and windy night. I was thinking about how everything I did was terrible. I'm going to change everything into an argument . We need to stop this …

My argument:  Plastic is scaring  creatures away. They are getting threatened and hurt by plastic. The people who make the plastic explain that they want to rule the land and water and they want to win the argument but I'm going to stop them.  

        

Parihaka By Zhyla

 `Parihaka

When: 5th of November 1881

Where: Taranaki Parihaka.

Who: Tohu Kakahi, Te Whiti Rongomai, and the adults + children of Parihaka, and the british soldiers government+ king.

What: The government was selling Māori land. Survey pegs appeared on their land. The people of Parihaka took the survey pegs and the government sent men with guns. The men arrested Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti.

Point of view one

 

Hi, I am one of the children in my town. Lots of people come and visit our rich river. We have lots of Māori people that stand up from the government. The government is trying to stop us but we said that we are trying to stop Pakeha people taking our land. So the government got sick of us and sent British soldiers. They said to us we have one hour to leave 

But Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti Rongomai told us Māori to not move. The British soldiers arrested Tohu and Te Whiti and I never seen them again. 

I think that

It isn't right for the government to take everything away from the Parihaka people . Imagine you were the parihaka people would you want to get treated like them. Maybe they don't want to hurt you but the British soldiers hurt them.
