My favourite Shoe Brand
My favourite brand of shoes is Nike. The Nike brand has a tick and is very popular around the world. The reason why I like this brand for shoes is because they can last long, is good for going out and it suits any occasion.
The Nike shoes I have now, for example are white and black and have lasted 3 years. The only reason why I don’t wear my Nike Shoes now is because they are too tight on me.
When you go and buy Nikes, pick one that you like, looks good on you and then make sure you take care of them. They may be expensive but are guaranteed to be very comfortable to wear.
Nike is my favourite brand and I will never go without them. They have taken care of my feet and I’m sure that once one uses them, they get hooked on for life. You should buy Nike shoes and never go anywhere without a shoe that has a Nike tick on it.

Careers Expo 2010
On Friday the 6th of August, the Year 8 students were given the opportunity to travel down to the ASB Show grounds at Green Lane. There was an atmosphere of excitement as we prepared to catch the bus. Rooms 8 and 9 were in the same bus with our teachers and the singing competition started as soon as the buses started moving. I think Room 9 won the singing competition because our Lead Singer, Mokani got all the Room 9 children motivated. Our teacher smiled at us to show that he appreciated our efforts.
When we got to the Show grounds, we were put into our groups. The first thing we did was look for a career and what was required to be in that career. The first career stand we looked at was the Navy because it looked exciting. We took some booklets and other things to do with being in the Navy.
The next career booth we went to was the DJ booth. It was cool because we made our own beats and tunes. The man in charge gave us some bags and books. After we finished from there, we moved on to the Arts Block and we took some books on tips to be the best at drawing. We went to many other booths and began to feel tired.
When we finished, the teachers called us to line up in our classes then they checked the roll to make sure everyone was in their class lines. We then made our way to the bus. When we got into the bus we started singing songs. The Room 8 boys started singing again but we were louder and better. And that was our day at the Careers Expo 2010.

How to protect yourself from the sun
How to Protect Yourself from the Sun
The sun is our main source of energy and we can’t survive without it. Even though we need the sun, too much of it can be fatal.
There are many things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out in the sun. Protection is all about keeping your skin healthy and shielding your eyes from the glare of the sun.
When you go swimming or any place where you are exposed to the sun, you should:
• wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
• use an umbrella to protect your skin.
• use sun block.
• wear a hat on your head.
• wear sunscreen so you don’t get cancer or melanoma.
When you have done all that, you can enjoy having a safe time in the sun.

Matariki by Arahura
In the Maori language MATARIKI is the name of the Pleiades star cluster.The two meanings for the name Matariki; they are 'Small Eyes' and 'Eyes of God'. The constellation is also believed to have been used by navigators to find their way across the vast ocean as they travel on their canoes.
The Matariki star cluster contains more than 1000 stars, but only seven to nine can be in the night sky .
Why is Matariki important?
Traditionally, depending on the visibility of Matariki, the coming season’s crop was thought to be determined by it. The farmers use this to decide on the type of crops to plant. The brighter the stars indicated the warmer the season would be and thus a more productive crop. It was also seen as an important time for family to gather and reflect on the past and the future.
For me, Matariki is an important time to learn about whakapapa (ancestry), the land, the stars, and what it is to be Maori.
