Narrative about 'The blue Donut who climbs Mt Everest.


The Blue donut who climbs Mt Everest

Once Upon a time, there was a  blue donut who wanted to be the best like the other kids in his class because he was always the one who gets left out. He thought about how he was gonna do something to impress the other kids but he thought about nothing.  His friends were so intelligent and smart but all he was to others was trash.  He didn’t like it at all.

One day, the blue donut thought bigger than he can ever imagine and then it hit.  He imagined he was climbing something so high he touched the sky.





I had this site called

Adventure Story StartersWriting Prompts. 




this site helps you to write a narrative by giving you a 

tittle and the title it gives you, 

you have to write about and this is what I got told to write. It may sound a bit 

weird but 

I just decided to do it. 


Why is Facebook so popular?


Why is Facebook so popular?


Have you ever wonder how facebook became popular? It is a way of contacting your families or friends. Facebook is a social network site. On facebook you can see other peoples stuff like their photos, statuses, their friends and what they have written about himself.

Its fun on Facebook because you can skype your friends that you haven’t seen in a long time. We can post up statuses about what you did or what you want to do. You can also post selfies of yourself or with friends.

Facebook can sometimes be good for reading because of the statuses people have been writing about and how you chat. You can also write on other people pages.  You can like others photos and comment on your friends posts.

Facebook can be used to play games. Some of your friends could be playing the same same game but a different level, so its more like having a challenge against you and your friends.

Being on facebook can be something to do like chatting, posting, liking and many other things.

We show respect to others that come to New Zealand and live in harmony. NZ is also a multicultural society which means it is made up of many cultures.

Cutting Down Trees

Have you ever wondered why people cut down trees. Well it is because people have found out many years ago about how trees help us. Trees help us for Stationary, Oxygen, and many other objects in life.

Trees also live on this planet so that means that we should be taking care of them like how we take care of yourself. People cut down trees because it is useful in life. Trees gives us paper, rubbers, bark, wood, pencils, oxygen and more other amazing stuff but we make that stuff but trees give us that material. Trees can keep us warm from its wood and paper that trees create. Oxygen is very important because it helps us living such as breathing and fresh air. Some people think that cutting trees down are bad but really its not because it helps us with making life easier. Trees can keep us warm from its wood and paper that we create.

Trees are very important because it doesn’t only help us with objects, it also helps us with oxygen and remember that trees are good to us so we can be good to them.
