Pursuassive Writing

This is a Rubric that my classmate Darius has marked.

Room 17 needs an Extreme Make Over URGENTLY for their court yard. There are many reasons for this. In Winter we have to close the fields all the time and people get squashed on the court yards. Secondly the year seven and eight block have taken up most of the hard court space which means less space and more squished people. Thirdly, not much children play around our courtyard because of its plain looks. This is why we need to improve our courtyard.



In Winter, most kids do not have access to the fields because they are mostly closed. Which means, that all kids have to get squished on the hard courts, and in the breeze and also on the playground as well. In the breeze a lot of boys and girls like to play with their cards, so you can imagine what it is like.CHILDREN EVERY WHERE! It also means that we get squished even more.


Ever since the Intermediate block has moved in, it has taken up most of the hard court space that used to be there. Kids now have to get put up with fights most days because of the cramped conditions. Unfortunately older kids like to hang around the so called street, which is the Intermediate block. We have found out that year seven and eights like to just sit around and talk. So they don’t really use up the space that is around the school.

Unfortunately Room seventeen's court yard is unattractive. Kids do not like to play around here. It isn’t a kids attraction like a tourist attraction because of all the marks and scrapes across the walls. Besides that, it has a hideous drain in the middle of it which causes people to not play here. And it is also to small for everyone to fit in.

These are just a couple of reasons why we need an Extreme Make Over, you should see it for yourself. We need it and fast.

Partly Cloudy


This movie review is called Partly Cloudy. The characters in the story are a Stork,Clouds and Animals.This short movie begins on the earth. At first the storks are delivering presents to human beings.

The main action is when the stork leaves his owner which is cloud. His owner thinks that his stork is going to another cloud. The short movie ends happily, the cloud just finds out that his stork is just going to get some protection for all the crazy things his owner is going to make.

I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10 because it is so nice. I think I could never make a movie like it. It is a short and sweet little clip.

Extreme Maker Over Coutyard Edition



Room seventeen has the opportunity to change and customize our courtyard. In our spare times we have been having technology classes with Miss Ouano. It has been really cool. We had to choose three things we would add in to our courtyard plan. One of the things me an my partner, Vivienne, have decided to add was a basketball hoop. We chose this because we would like some kids to play in our courtyard, and so that it is not just a little place for us to just walk around in. I want the space to play in instead of walk. I play netball, and basketball hoops are good to practice with shooting.

The price of this was $40.00. That is pretty cheap. We all had to search up online at places that have like;wood, outdoor furniture, basketball hoops and all of the above. The place I had found the basketball hoops on was The Warehouse. They will deliver it.

The second thing we had decided to add on to our plan was Picnic Tables. We had chose this because we girls and boys are sick and tired of having prickles on our bottoms. It hurts. And so that we can put our food on a table and eat properly on a table. The table had cost $480.00 which is a lot and it would come already set up. I had found the table on Trade Me and of-course they would deliver it.

The last but not least was flowers. I wanted flowers so that it would beautify our courtyard. The best thing was that we could plant it instead of a already planted flower. It had been supplied on The Warehouse page again. It will be delivered by them.

When we have finished designing our courtyard I wish they have one of my ideas in it.

Brave Men and Women ( I Am Making Movies 2)

This movie is about a family that has been struggling in life. The mother of the family has to put up with being with her children all alone, because their father had go to war, and the most worst bit is that they have a farm. Every day it gets harder and harder for the mother. I think it will be best if you watch the movie yourself. It is better that way.
