Pegasus Fun run

 

On Sunday  (9/10) I did the Pegasus Fun run with my friend Samuel. We did the 11km course. It was fairly easy but one part was hard because it was uphill in sand. When there was about 3km to go I left Samuel because he had a sore knee and it was slowing him down. I ran hard because I wanted to beat the 12:00pm mark. I did alright and my time was 1hour 31.

Book Review

Book Review

This is a book review about the book called The Keys To The Kingdom. This is by Garth Nix and is the 4th book in the series. This is a fantasy/medieval genre and is a really good book. 

This is the blurb:

On the fourth day there was war...
Following their adventures in the Border Sea, Arthur and Leaf head for home. But only Leaf gets through the Front Door. Arthur is blocked because someone . . . or something . . . has assumed his identity and is taking over his life.
Before Arthur can take action, he is drafted by Sir Thursday and forced to join the Glorious Army of the Architect. While Leaf tries to banish Arthur's doppleganger on earth, Arthur must survive his basic training, avoid getting posted to the Front and work out how he can free Part Four of the Will....

Speech

This Is my speech about the history of rugby, the history of the Webb Ellis Cup and the evolution of the rugby. It is a 3 minute speech. This year we had to put a presentation with our speech so I made a google slide. I think my speech is pretty good but not the best.

Persuasive writing

Should Guns be banned in America?

There are heaps of guns in America. More guns than people. There have been heaps of mass shootings killing American citizens. So should we ban guns in America?

I think we shouldn’t ban guns. Imagine if someone in the Orlando night club had a gun? Then those 50 people would not of died and those 53 people would have not been injured. I think in America people should have the right to have guns in public. If you had a gun and you were in a cafe, someone might come in a with a gun and start shooting. Who’s going to stop him? No one would want to accept someone with a gun. If you had a gun you could protect all those people in the cafe.

I think in all the states you should be able to open carry. Open carry is when you can carry guns in public. At the moment 44 states allow you to open carry. Also there is a another big problem in the US. If you are black and seen carrying a gun, the police will immediately go to you and tell you to get on the ground while pointing their gun at you. You probably be arrested but there are some cases where black people have been shot! Even though they weren’t doing any harm.

If guns were banned then people will not be able to go hunting. In some remote places it is very important to go hunting and you rely on it. No hunting means no food and no food means starvation leading to death. Also some people like to shoot guns at targets. If they were banned then that would ruin a lot of people's hobbies. There are quite a lot of gun collectors as well. They collect all types of guns but don’t use them.

In conclusion I think guns in America shouldn’t be banned. Freedom is important and if you had a gun you could protect yourself. If they were banned it would ruin people’s hobbies and interests.
