Room 19 at Ptengland school have been reading about Swearing.
Did you know that a little city outside of Boston has banned swearing.
Boston is just outside of the U.S. They had wrote in an article saying that if you swear in public you will get a fine that will cost $20 U.S dollars.
My interesting story is about when to swear and is it the
right time to talk but with the right language.
People say that everytime is the right time and other people say that it is never the right time to swear.
SWEARING!!!! we all know that is not good so why do we do it?,
swearing is not really a good thing to do especially in front of little kids
but when we do it in front of little kids it's not good influence and elderly
because they will just yell at you like (don't use that kind of language).
It is mostly up to you to decide but if you wanted guidance then
I would say that you shouldn't really be using that kind of language.
Most people say that swearing is ok because they think its ok for when they are having a argument,
what do you think? do you think it is ok to say whenever you want to swear?.
Swearing isn't allowed in churches and in the cemetery, swearing is like bad influence.
What do you think of swearing? do you like it? don't you like it?.
Swearing many people like the language and many more don't like the language.
To be honest I may do sometimes but not most times, like a visitor came to our school
and told us how she got picked on but if she didn't start reading she wouldn't have
been smart and used her words.
I think that swearing can be offensive to some people you may choose to say it too, people that love their culture can say that it is in the bible and swearing isn't aloud and should be fined to whoever chooses to say it.
So that raps up my whole story about what I think of swearing.
People normally say that slang means it’s another name for swearing, but it actually another name for a country.
Thank You Naomi.
A plane powered just by the sun's rays has flown from Switzerland to Morocco.
It's the first time a plane has been able to fly across continents without using any fuel.
The flying machine's wings are covered in solar panels which turn the sun's rays into electricity to power the plane's propellers.
The plane's engineers are hoping that by 2014 they'll be able to use it to fly all the way around the world.
The first place were all this took place was in Netherland.
Wouldn’t that be fun to be on a plane but it would be scary too.
Thank you Emilee.

Last Friday at 12.30 in the afternoon we all started packing, and then we left.
On our way going there we were all getting comfortable because it was going to be a long trip, so I sat in the back so I could have a sleep because I was so tired it wasn’t funny.
We were nearly there when we all felt hungry, so my dad parked somewhere that we could buy something to eat. All I wanted was chicken and some chips, my mum got them fish and chips and I had chicken and chips. We had a quick feed and the we started to keep going.
We got there at 6 o’clock and my grandad was just started to do a phorfity and then we were welcomed onto the marae, We all started making our beds up and I slept in the middle of my cousin Anzac and my other cousin Shantel. We all had a really good night because we were all making each other laugh and then we got in trouble.
The next morning we were up real early and we had breakfast and the we all had to get changed for my grandmother and grandfather's unvaling, my cousins and uncles did a haka and a waiata. Then when we walked back to the marae me and my cousin Anzac were fighting over our little cousin Jack and the Anzac got angry at me and then he bumped me but then I thought for a second, “do you want to go to Anzac” he said “yes” we took little Jack to Anzac and then he was happy.
At the end of the day I felt happy hanging out with all my family and also I felt sad leaving.
Have you done tech before? well Pt England school has been doing it for two years, last year we started with wood, and I made a truck. Then we moved onto Graphics and it was all about art and drawings and we made all these cards and we got a big folder to put it in. Electronics was about electric things and lights. We had our last movement for the last term and we did all sorts of experiments.
This year I think it is much better because we have different groups, one yr 7 and the other yr 8.
Our group started with cooking and we learnt many things like folding and mixing and other things. Then we moved on to Japanese and made stars and a helmet.
I really liked this years tech group then last year.
Waiting for my father to come back to our village, because he has been gone for hours. Finally he has arrived and as I go running up to him I give him a huge hug.
There is a story about something that has been missing for a very long time, wow look at that massive thing my teacher started saying it is a plane. All these visitors came walking out of the plane and started taking photos of the areas we lived in, after they all started asking questions
about how long have you been living here? where did you come from? do you want to move somewhere else.
The explorers started taking pictures of everything and as they were doing their thing the others who were doing nothing, wanted to talk to us about where they came from and why they came here. We didn’t know but the visitors were archaeologist and they found the famous musical instrument flute, then as they were coming towards us they shouted we got big news, they showed us the instrument that when missing 43,000 million years ago.
They started saying they were going to take the flute back to their country and as they tried to get away my father did not like it not at all, he went to go and grab it off the tourist and their husbands came off and tried to kill my dad
Do you know this famous artist?
well have you heard of this artist who’s name is Vincent Van Gogh, he was born in 1885 and he was raised in groot zundert holland. His mother’s name was Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He had two sisters and two brothers, their names were Elisabeth, Anna, Cor and Theo. and died in 1880
In his early life they had no interest in art or even artists, In 1870, after completing a sketchy array of education, Van Gogh was employed by the Hague gallery. Also they were run by french art dealers but did you know that he was only at the age of sixteen. Vincent and his brother Theo were working miners but they didn’t work there for that long.
Johanna Gesina Van Gogh was the first wife that Theo had married and also she was the first to publish the letters that Vincent wrote to Theo after his death. Theo died in 1891 and his mother died in 1907 and Theodorus died in 1885 also their best friend died in 1909, the friend had died two years after the mother but it doesn’t mention the sisters or even the real artist Vincent. Vincents widowed cousin who he fell in love with in the summer of 1881 in Etten. Still grieving about her loss of her husband Cornelia rejected Vincent and returned to amsterdam.
It looks that he must have loved drawing and paintings. 
Thank you Kevin for correcting my work about Vincent Van Gogh.
