Ebola Writing

WARNING WARNING DANGER!! There is a disease called Ebola .Ebola is a rare and deadly disease that has caught most people in countries. They have travelled from Africa to six different countries that are now in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the United States and Mali.Luckily John Key is helping Africa to stop the disease and so their is 100% chance that it won't come to New Zealand.

This disease is really really painful and really powerful because if you have Ebola you get muscle pain which is early stages, bleeding from eyes, mouth and nose which is the advance stage, you will get a really bad headache which is the early stages, a sore throat which is the early stage, an impaired liver and kidney which is the advance stage, diarrhea this is the advance stage and you will vomit a lot which is the advance stage. And you will get red eyes, massive weight loss and you will cough a lot.

Ebola is now in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the United States and Mali because the people that has Ebola traveled to those countries trying to find a cure or for them to get a better treatment. They go to the plane and when they get there they just spread all of it to some people and they go and it keeps spreading to everyone.

Do you know that if you have ebola and you rinse your hands then you might have chance to make it stop affecting you, all you have to do is wash your hands. And do you know that if you donate a bar of soap to someone that has Ebola then you have 50% percent chance that you just helped someone stop getting hurt from bola.

Help People by donating a bar of soup!!

Apparently he died, then an alien appeared, the alien watching the bee and the bee’s family burning with a big happy smile. Then there was an airplane, all the people were very very sad.Some people were happy some people were sad. Then an alien squashed the dead bee. Then the alien rolled the dice then out came three people with three different keys. The bee had to choose choose a key, all the keys led to a different dimension. The bee chose number 3 and he went to a place called “Banana Castle”, there were no humans just…. minions. The only thing he had to learn about that dimension was how to say banana. Banana, banana and banana.

A sportastic holiday - recount

In the holidays I played sports to keep fit. I played soccer with my big brother. Then I ran around the block. After a while I had to wear new clothes because my mum said that we were going somewhere.

After a while we had to eat, we ate yummy lamb kebab, we did not remember to eat some greens. We all sat down at one place so that we could all leave at the same time. We were all filled up and decided to go upstairs to talk. We talked about school and stuff out of the box. We were all unhappy that school was going to start. We didn’t want to stop the fun. and we didn’t want the holidays to stop.

We all left and I got ready for school, I was so unhappy. So I didn’t pack up. I just played some online games which made me not think about school. Then I fell fast asleep.
