Essay about Solar Power

                                                               Solar power


Right. Are you sick of having expensive energy? Well you are reading the right essay then. But wait. That does not tell you what this essay is about, does it? Well I am talking about solar power and why it is good.

Firstly Solar power hardly costs anything. I am saying this because the sun doesn’t shine for money or does it?

Secondly this method does not harm the environment. If you can find any way that the sun harms the environment e-mail me at marleywright91@gmail.com

Thirdly you can make electricity using the sun two ways. One way is you can use the sun to heat up a liquid.... Well water.... You can use the sun to heat up water but the only problem is that you might have a cold shower. The second way is that you can use photovoltaic cells. What happens is the sun shines on the cells and it makes electricity.

So are you thinking about changing to Solar power? Its cheap, environmentally friendly.    

Essay about Nuclear Power

                                                        Nuclear power



So is your power cheap? Well good for you, but not so good for the environment and us.


I am here to tell you why Nuclear Power is so bad!

Firstly. Nuclear Power IS NOT environmentally friendly. Do you care about the environment? You do. Well Nuclear Power stations don’t. Did you know that Nuclear Power stations produce radioactive waste and have a guess were that goes. In a box underwater!

Secondly. The danger of a Nuclear Power station are SIGNIFICANT if the cooling system breaks down. Radioactive waste goes everywhere and has a massive affect on the environment and us. This has happened in Chernobyl in 1986 over 20 years ago and people STILL CAN’T LIVE THERE. Well at least around that area.

These are my reasons why Nuclear Power is bad. It is not environmentally friendly and it puts us in danger.

Yacht Race



As we get onto the Casteaux we are excited and sad. Why? because of a race around New Zealand with 8 yachts: Sunstone, Danaide, Truxton, Peligian, Revs, Expedition Copellia, Vingilot and probably the schools favorite the Surreal. They are about to start on the third leg of the race around New Zealand.

As we head out to see the yachts leave we see some of the yachts doing 360s and other stuff. We are getting really excited now because all of the yachts are deploying their sails they are turning around coming over to the start line. They have amazing designs on some of the mainsails on the yachts. We are all outside looking at the incredible sight of the yachts.

The first starting horn has been blown and the clock has hit 1:50pm. It won’t be long until the third leg of the race is underway. Now all of the yachts are at the start line the last horn has been blown the third leg of the race is underway.

Oh no Revs are still showing off behind the rest of the boats.  All of them will get a head start. We follow the yachts until we reach the Titi islands and when we turn around Sophie and I start a game of standing long jump. Of course Billy and George get the high scores and we played that game until we reached the wharf.

800m



As I get into my lane for the 800m race it feels like I am going to pea my pants( luckily I didn’t).  I think to myself will I get better than what I did last time or worse? Can’t think now.  “Set”. WA-BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gun sounded like my alarm But 900,000,000,005 times louder.

I ran like I had been taught to, only move your arms and legs don’t move anything else.  We run around the track like a pack of wild dogs chasing a rabbit.  I scoot up into second place but slowly move down as if I’m a fire going out after a bucket of water has been tipped over it.

Still running like I did at the start of the race I speed up and go into 4th place. As I come into the last lap I hear Miss Joy (she is one of the amazing teachers at Halfmoon Bay School)  screaming“GO MARLEY GO! KEEP THE SPEED UP!” So I kick up into 20th gear as I speed into third.

Going around the last corner scares me because all of my friends are counting on me.  I try to sprint but what the... I’m out of gas.  I try to heave myself to the finish before more people catch up to me. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I scream as I get into 7th place and finish.

Oh god I would rather eat a blue cods eye ball than do that again... but next weekend I have to do the 1500M race NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hanging Friend

Marley
Things that worked well. Doing my nose went well because I paper mached my nose with my face then painted my nose red. The thing that didn't go well is that my legs had to be hot glue gunned on last and in the end I was last finished.

Marley's Peter Pan story

Da da da da da da da da da da da the overture starts, the show begins. At the moment I am backstage. I get ready to go out on stage. I feel like I am going to pee my pants. I can hear Lisa (Lisa is the director of Peter Pan and a drama expert) saying. “Don’t worry Marley (Which is me A.K.A Peter Pan) you will be great.” The curtain opens and I'm ready for my cue. Now I jump on stage and look at the audience. I say my first line “Er er er er errrrrrr!!!!!!!!!” I feel like I can do anything right now.
When I jump off stage I look at all my school friends they look so amazing in their costumes. I watch my friends take it away down in the audience. Everybody worked so hard for this show. Now it’s my turn to get back up on stage. I am not nervous like I was before. It now feels like the audience is not even there.
Sweet it’s my favorite part. The last battle. Captain Hook and Peter Pan have a magnificent duel. Captain Hook swoops there and Peter Pan swipes there but Peter Pan just beats Captain Hook and lets the Crocodile have a feast.
The show ends with an amazing curtain call all the actors take a bow. We sing Neverland and Lost Boys. We can hear thunderous applause. I can not even hear my voice.
Everyone goes back to school and gets changed. I never thought I could do this but I did. I am very proud of myself and all the other kids. We did a magnificent job. BUT now I have something else I have to worry about GETTING MY MAKEUP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Explanation Writing - Earthquakes

I'm going to tell you how an earthquake works. On the Earth's surface there are a dozen plates that move around the world. The Earth has different layers called the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. The Earth's plates can move apart, towards and horizontally past each other. When the plates smash together the plates trigger an earthquake. P waves are the fastest and first waves to detect. S waves are the second waves they go towards sound and thirdly surface waves they run across the ground. They are the slowest and most dangerous. Now that's how an earthquake occurs.

MY BROTHER HEMI


Hemi is one and a half years old and I’m his older brother. It’s hard looking after Hemi. What does Hemi like doing with me? His favourite is dancing, he also likes running around playing tag. It wears me out! He can be quite cheeky and funny like when he lies on the wood with his snuggly as a pillow. It’s hard looking after Hemi!
