The sun was beaming as the clouds were fading away, I couldn't stop glancing at the bunch of different coloured butterflies flapping their wings. All I could see was the frozen on the rough bark on the tree against my wrinkly face, seeing all of the children getting big eyes trying to find me, Then suddenly I saw them running away and say “lets ditch him”
I could taste the trouble lunch overpowering my mouth with i was ready to spew holding it trying not blab and just want to cry but my little sisters come by and find me crying, she gave me a big hug and comfort me will i wiped my tears away, me and my sister were holding hands engaging to get a rugby ball and seeing all of the parents with their husbands with big smiles and seeing their children.

Writing Sample Test.
It was the strangest thing I’ve have ever seen.....
With no worry I walked down the street with my two best friends Ngatookz and Caprice rocking with our leather chuck taylors Blue,Red and Yellow, walking past a bunch of bushy plants and flowers, but when we tried to walk together we saw something move in these mysterious bushies we didn‘t know what they were flipping our hair out of the way and coming it back to see, with in second this thing was gone know where to be see but it just flow out of our minds after that hour, so we just kept walking with our swag and good looks, when we were heading back into the street next to the one where the accented happened,we worried a bit because we thought is something going to go wrong or is something is going to happen to one of us,
Thinking curiously but didn’t want to think horrible we didn’t want to enter this situation again so we just turned the corner, heading back Ngatookz house because that was the nearest house,
“Can we run but not mess up our hair” Ngatookz thought,
“and make sure we don’t get mud on my new pairs of shoes I mean Our” yelled Caprice,
“hahaha sure we can but not too fast because I run out of breathe fast when I run you guys know that” Ngatookz buffed,
So we run not to fast and not slow turning the edge of that street it looked darker than before and suddenly I tripped up on this rock well it looked like a rock or a Snell and I had just enter that part of the darkness and It was the Strangest thing I've ever seen so I closed my eyes to see if this part of my life was just a dream and it was, right beside my two best friends Ngatookz and Caprice.
Even knowing that it was a dream I looked outside the window and I saw that street it was 8:00 o'clock in the morning it looked pitch black and something made me remember that this place reminded me of a place we had seen not so long ago but made me remember what kind of place this is with the bushy plants and the colourful flowers hiding away, even know I wanted to freak and try and escape I couldn't because there was no door and just one window that had be covered with jail bars so I just sat back on the bed and fell back to sleep into a deep sleep. In a few hours I woke up and acted liked nothing had happened.

The English Lesson
It was Tuesday morning and I’d just walked down the stairs. “Have you done your homework?” asked my Nan? “Oh no, “I forgot!” I said.
I felt worried because I knew that my teacher, Mrs Williams, wasn’t going to be very happy with me and might shout. When I arrived at school I went to first lesson. “What’s wrong with you Tyler?” my friend asked.”I forgot to do my homework last night and Mrs Williams is going to be cross,” I said
After break I walked into my English classroom. Mrs Williams was waiting. “What’s the matter Tyler”? You look upset.” she said. “I’m very sorry Miss,” I said “But I haven’t done my homework.” “Why Tyler?” she asked. “I don’t know Miss, I just forgot,” “Well at least you’re honest Tyler and not telling lies!” Mrs Williams said. “If you finish it by tomorrow you won’t have a detention.” I felt much better!! “Why did I worry in the beginning?”

“What?” Asked Sara following his finger pointing.
“I can’t see anything!” Her eyes were not yet used to the darkness.
“That look! There’s something moving by the greenhouse.” Hissed Raj. Something glided silently past the panes of glass which shone in the moonlight.
“Yes! I can see it now.” Whispered Sara.”
“It’s fox Raj.” Whispered Sarah.
“ No I don’t think so! It’s too tall. It’s more like a small person, perhaps a child.” Raj looked towards the greenhouse. He breathed.
“There it is again! Did you see it Sara?” Sara could not believe her eyes.
“I saw it and I could see through it she said.” Raj nodded his head

Ancestral Poem
I am a Maori Godess,
My culture is the centre of my knowledge that I know the most of.
I am a strong, independent young wahine because of the strength, beauty, fierceness and warm heart that was passed down to me by my
beautiful ancestors who protect me, they care for me and have helped me to be successful.
Even though their tombstones represent their passing I still feel as if they are still alive in me.
You all are with me, guiding and protecting me to reach my hopes and dreams.
The work of my ancestors, their struggles and their accomplishments illustrate my identity and who I am today - an intelligent Maori queen.
If I could see my ancestors I would thank them for giving me their strength and mana.
