Mr. Weirsma
Dear TVNZ
I would like to nominate my school caretaker, Mr Weirsma for the Good Sort
Award.
My name is Fraser and I’m a year six student at Ilam school
in Christchurch.
I told my class and my principal about this idea and everyone
thought that he really deserves to be noticed for all his kindness and work for
people at our school. He does so much
more than his job.
He helps kids a lot and he even helps the teachers! He is so
popular at our school that some kids think that he is the principal!!
He has built lots of scooter stands for us. He made some cool stilts that we use every
day. Last year he made a special arena for our beyblades to battle on. Recently
he made a hut with Room 7 for us to play in.
He does gardening with Room 18 and keeps our school so tidy that we have
won lots of awards for our beautiful school grounds. He is so friendly and kind. He even helps
some families outside of school time. In
the winter he comes to school at 5am to start the heating for our classrooms! He was even at our school when the September
earthquake hit at 4:30 in the morning!!
Want to know more?
Well you will just have to come and meet him. He is the sort of person who just keeps on
giving and does it quietly in the background.
PS. I also thought that the best way to persuade you to come
and see him would be to make a video.
So my class made this video today – the last day of term –
please watch it on youtube.
We are all very sad at Ilam school because Mr. Weirsma is leaving
us to go and live in Australia.
Last year his son died of cancer and he is going to
Australia to be closer to his family.
He is leaving in three weeks. We will miss him.
Please come soon because he really deserves this award.
Really really really

Crystal Geodes
The Professor
Crystal Geodes are formed deep under the earths crust.
By lava bubbles forming and then cooling quickly. Thus forming a hollow rock.
Over millions of years later. With the different temperatures and air
pressures. The hollow rock soon forms amethyst crystals. Or quartz and rose
quartz crystals. The rock is carried nearer the surface by lava currents. To be
found by miners and cracked open to see mysterious treasures inside. After the outer shell protecting the inside crystals are actually much stronger than
the outer shell!

Riding a Bike
I am scared and afraid at the same time because I am going to ride my
bike. But my mum is going to help me. First my mum gave me some instructions. Second I put on my helmet, I hopped on to my bike then my
mum said to pedal faster. So I started pedaling faster but I didn't pedal fast
enough because my legs are turning into jelly. My bike is wobbling because my
arms are not strong enough, not focusing and my body is shaking. But, my mum is
running with me. Her job is to make sure I keep on pedaling. While I kept on pedaling
I saw that I was riding straight to the park. I entered the park and went on
the footpath. I can hear the concrete
under the wheels of my bike and my mum is right behind me. I felt like I was
alone riding to the park. While I was pedaling I started to wobble. I tried to stop wobbling but I couldn't help
it. I was about to go to the field when I fell off. Luckily for me I pulled the
handlebars to the middle. Finally I stopped my bike. My mum was impressed I
felt a little bad. My mum told me that it was over and I was pleased that it
was over riding a bike is scary.

Wild Dogs
WILD DOGS
Wild dogs are chasing me like mad. It’s like they’re
on a rampage with they’re red eyes and growling teeth. They are barking loudly.
I run behind a tree and climb it sneakily. They can smell me. I’m scared. I
wish I knew how to make a signal with a rubber and a pencil? It’s getting dark.
I cried, “Someone please help me.”
(Twelve hours later) It’s getting lighter. They are
still there. I can see their ugly yellow teeth. Their teeth are so sharp it is
like their teeth are made out of nails. I see the dogs dribbling on a dead
bird. One of the dogs ripped off the head. They start fighting over the bird’s
head. It’s my chance.
While they are fighting over the bird’s head, I can
run. I climb down the other side of the tree. I run for my life. Ten seconds
later they chase me. I find a log. I dive in. They can’t get in. I see some people.
They are hunters. I yell out to them. “Help me!!! I’ve been chased by wild dogs!!!”
The wild dogs chase the hunters. The hunters get ammo
for their guns. They use the needle bullets that make you fall asleep. They
shoot the dogs. I come out of the log to thank them.
The nightmare is over!!!!!!!
The nightmare is over!!!!!!!
We go home and I tell them my street and my number.
They find my parents.
Lost
PART 1
I am looking for my mum. People are talking and laughing. I am scared, but I have to be brave. I stand
and look, but I can’t see her. So I start to walk. I shout, “ mum mum!!”There
is no reply so I go to a women and say
in a small voice, “hi I have lost my mum. Can you please help me find her?”
She said, “yes where do you think she is?”
I said, “I don’t know.” So we went to the front of the shop and I got
some help.
They asked me, “what's your phone
number?”
I reply but when they call it came to the
answers phone. So we wait, and wait, but
we can’t see my mum. So we call on the
speaker but still no answer. I’m scared.
I’m terrified. Mum where are you?
