Today day we had a practice run for Mama Mia Pizzas. We use a pita bread as a base. And we all had a tomato sauce so the cheese would stick. The toppings I used... Olives, palsy, basil, oregano, bell peppers, and mushrooms. My Pizza is colourful and is completely vegetarian.

Christmas for Everyone

Jacinda Adern and Labour

One Name Jacinda she new Zealand's brand new prime minister.  Some may not agree, but me and my family agree that labor is best!  Just listen to there new policies there are amazingly fantastic here are some...

Labour's Policies

• Housing - Our plan to start fixing the housing crisis
• Health - $8 billion investment in health over four years
• Clean Rivers - Clean rivers for future generations
• Transport - Auckland Transport – Making Auckland a world-class city
• Education - Labour’s vision for education
• Families - A families package that delivers
• Mental  Health - Labour will help all mental health people

So if you don’t this is an amazing will what more do you what?

Labour and the Greens will make an Awesome government.

Housing from Labor

Labor what's to ban speculators from buying existing houses. This is because speculators are buying all of New Zealand's existing homes. Which is making it hard for first home buyers, to find houses at their price levels. So, therefore, it’s most likely that the new first home buyers will have to rent and waste there money no renting and then likely end up in poverty. Labour will extend the bright line test from the current two years to five years. This will target new immigrants is without a New Zealand's permanent residency.  

Health from Labor

Labour will cut GP fees by 10$ a visit with 8$ GP Visits for community services card holders. So New Zealand does not have people unable to go to their GP due to high costs which leads to filling up all of New Zealand's hospitals and overworking and underpaying staff. Which is happening thanks to national, In my opinion. Not just that but labor has a plan to rebuild Dunedin hospital. Because it’s getting too full and it’s not in good condition! So labor has an 8$ billion dollar investment.

Clean rivers from Labour

Clean water is the birthright of all of us, and vital to our continued prosperity. Our rivers and lakes are a taonga to sentimental  Maori, a favorite place of recreation for New Zealanders.  This is because farmers are going ahead and letting their livestock in rivers and streams which is super bad for our environment!

Transport  From Labour

To improve transport and the environment labor will…

• Build light rail from the CBD to Auckland Airport.
• Invest in more electric trains.
• Allow Auckland Council to collect a regional fuel tax.

This will go to help Aucklanders save money, the environment

Education from Labour

Unlike national, labor will not have national standards. For children to reach and be pressured to past tests, there hoping that less pressure on children so they reach higher standards.  Not only that but they will be investing in new schools with their $6b dollar plan. And paying higher rates to those who work in early child care. So parents can pay less.

Families help from Labour

Labour has designed a Families Package that delivers. More money to families with children and reduces child poverty while investing more than $2 billion dollars for over four years to contribute to their investments in housing, health, and education.  And put more work on working families, so there is less stress on parents.  

Mental Health help from labor

Labour’s biggest move for mental health citizens, is that they will be handing extra support to those in Canterberry including Kaikōura. To help all those who were affected by the Kaikōura earthquake. With no place to go, and no one to help them. This is so labor can help rebuild the city.

So, in conclusion, I think that you should definitely agree that you would not know where you would be with our labor as are the government.  So we can create a better future for tomorrow.

My Life in Saudi Arabia UAE حياتي في المملكة العربية السعودية الإمارات العربية

My Life in Saudi Arabia UAE حياتي في المملكة العربية السعودية الإمارات العربية المتحدة If I were to live in Saudi Arabia, right now well in my mind my life would be horrid. But to be fair I’m not a Muslim so maybe I’d think differently. However, everything I wish for later in my life would not be possible. Such as Driving, Travel by myself, showing my face, getting my own bank account. All the exciting things of being an adult, everything that you look forward to as a child. Ok well, this does not apply to boys. I mean really what makes boys more special than girls. This is so uncool. Did you know that if I lived in Saudi Arabia and I grew up and got married, but then I wanted a divorce well I would not be allowed unless my partner wished to divorce as well? That in my mind is so unfair so in conclusion, I definitely think that the government of Saudi Arabia must rethink some of his laws. ذا كنت أعيش في المملكة العربية السعودية الآن في ذهني حياتي تمتص. ولكن أن نكون منصفين أنا لست مسلم حتى ربما كنت أعتقد بشكل مختلف. ولكن كل ما أود في وقت لاحق في حياتي لن يكون ممكنا. مثل القيادة، السفر بنفسي ،، تظهر وجهي، الحصول على حسابي المصرفي الخاص. كل الأشياء المثيرة من كونه بالغ، كل ما كنت نتطلع إلى كطفل. حسنا حسنا هذا لا ينطبق على الأولاد. أعني حقا ما يجعل الفتيان أكثر خاصة أن الفتيات. هذا هو أونكول ذلك. هل تعلم أنه إذا كنت تعيش في المملكة العربية السعودية وأنا غويو حتى وتزوجت، ولكن بعد ذلك أردت دفوس جيدا لن يسمح لي إلا إذا رغب شريك بلدي دفوس كذلك. هذا في رأيي غير عادل جدا لذلك في الختام أعتقد بالتأكيد أن غوثرمت السعودية يجب إعادة التفكير في بعض قوانينه.

Speech Yr 7

Kia ora

Why should you make the change to being organic?

In this speech I’m going to attempt to persuade you to become an organic citizen, of the world. Why is this? Because becoming organic can actually help stop global warming.  And along some tips and tricks to become organic!

Firstly I believe that you should become  organic. Because it will make you feel good on the inside and out.. Your be helping the world become a better place. By stopping global warming, and destroying the ozone layer.  This is because we are releasing too much methane gas, Into our atmosphere.

Some blame this on the cows. But no, it’s us humans. Literally it’s HUMANS destroying Humanity! Because have to many factories producing greenhouse gases. Which is pouting our environment.

Secondly  eating and living organic means less pesticides and harmful gas are used in the making of your food. And when you are eating something conventional, you have no idea of all of the pesticides, weedicides and fertilizers. Used in this  product consuming.

So now you must be thinking that an organic lifestyle is best. And you’d be right. This is due to a recent study published by the british journal of nutrition, which is owned by the cambridge university. And is the largest meta-analysis on this subject. Has stated that one of their conclusions, is that

Increasing your Organic intake could improve antioxidant levels by forty percent.

Thirdly I have some tips and tricks to help you be organic. So basicly if you're in the supermarket, and you want some ice cream. But  you what to be healthy,  so you look at the organic Section and think that it will be more healthy. No it will have smaller amount   pesticides and wedecide, but it still has it original amount of sugars and fats.

So now I’ll explain to you, the Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen . there's are the foods that are best to buy non organic or organic.  So the clean 15 include ….

Avocados, Sweet corn, Cabbage, Sweet peas, Onions, Asparagus, Mangoes, Papayas, Kiwi fruit, Eggplant, Honeydew, Grapefruit, Cantaloupe

And Cauliflower.

now these are the Dirty Dozen which are the most important to Purchase organic because the Conventional Marketers will do anything to make you buy thers Products from look to tates. So here are Dirty Dozen…. Strawberries, Apples, Nectarines, Celery, Grapes, Cherries, Spinach,

Tomatoes, Sweet bell peppers, Cherries tomatoes and Cucumbers.

But if you still can’t buy foods that are organic, then the next best thing to do is buy and eat foods in Season . not imports!

So therefore in Conclusion I strongly believe that you should, Start eating organic. To make you look feel and live  Beautifully organic. And hope you Enjoyed  and learnt something from this speech.
