Atlantis

Once the sun greeted a new day, I was Wide-eyed and wondering while I wait for others to waken. I thought to myself that the world was an oyster, that was still fresh. Underwater was clean as a whistle. I start to hear “rrrrrrrrrrrrr mm” from the motor boats from up above.  As slow as a snail I float up upon the water.

When I see the location of the boat , I see them dump a plastic pipe into the water to suck up everything  , and they had already started on using axe’s to shave the whole reef off. Watching them do this made me as scared as mouse from a cat , so I ran into town and hid in the underwater bakery. In that moment I thought I saw one of the coral’s turning brown but I didn’t really worry about that after still stressing on what the humans were doing here.  

As I came out of the store , ‘’holy cheeseballs’’ I said as the tank was half way till empty and most of the sea creatures were hiding from them before they were taken from the sea. There were already sea creatures taken to the boat and thought this was the day of our death. I couldn’t really see who exactly was taken since that day I lost my glasses at my old soccer field I used to play at. When I saw everyone taken away I thought that this needed an end to it. I swam up sneaking against their boat , when an anchor was on top of my head about to drop without me noticing.  When it dropped I heard a whistling noise coming down from the top of me and when it was about 120 centimetres away it had already hit the ground before it even got me. After my death been nearly caused I ran far away knowing I had no way of saving atlantis. So I strided off to my old soccer field.

Sitting down alone I could hear the water been sucked and nearly empty , I sat there thinking that my life wasn’t even over I still had a few more years till my death. Why now? When I sat there I saw these glasses that looked like my old ones. I tried it on and there it was , it was mine. When I got it back , I knew what I had to do and never give up on the place where I live. So I went back up to the boat and there were words on it saying , this water is poisonous and there will be a big change to the sea creatures living in atlantis which is for them to move to a happier place. When I saw that , this was all just a misunderstanding.

But they were all actually right , that’s why carroll's all started to turn brown and why I couldn’t really see it because I lost my glasses. When I saw this I left myself go and floated off to my new home. Our new home was just right.

Digestive system

FIrst of all do you know what the digestive system is? Well here are some facts to let you know how the digestive system works.

What is the digestive system?

The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube inside the body known as the alimentary canal or the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract).

How does the digestive system work?

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules.

Why is the digestive system so important?

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.

Valerie adams speech

Most of you may know my name, for use that don’t know my name is Valerie Adams. I am well known for being an olympian from New Zealand. I still train hard as an olympian, this year my goal is to bet my world record, in the field event of shot put.

During the olympics was tremendous because we’re able to train without any distractions. Being away from New Zealand definitely helps because there’s not much Olympic hype around here. Nobody knows who I am, there are no media things happening, I’m just focused on what I need to do, and that is to train. Anyways that enough about me for one day. Well, it was a privilege to tell yous all about my journey in the olympics and how it went. This wouldn’t have happened if your principal ( Mr Hendricks ) invited me to your wonderful school. Once again it was a amazing experience to speak in front of you's all.

My advise to you about becoming an amazing shot putter is to train hard, be able to actually lift the shot put and have the strength. Take your throwers to the state championship this year. Learn Proven, Successful strategies for developing champion shot putters.
