Erin-Jae 1748 State Highway 2 RD 1 Maramarua Maramarua, New Zealand Phone Number: ‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’ erin.jae.aralar @ngatea.school.nz 30th May 2018 Minister of Education New Zealand Government Molesworth St Pipitea, Wellington Minister of Education, I am writing to try and stop you from taking maths away from the NZ schools. Why take such an important subject, when the other not so important ones get to stay? Why? First of all, we are all gonna have to use maths in the future. To tell the time and pay for necessities. We also have to count, measure and tell shapes. What happens if a child never learns to tell the time? Maybe this will: They would always be late to meetings, they will never know the date. The ignominy, right? I hope this changed your mind, sir. Sincerely, Erin-Jae

One of my favourite things to do is design dresses. this is my mermaid style wedding dress.

I think we should have like a student council in Marama, maybe like discussing problems and new set jobs.

So far, my leadership has taken me into the person that I am now, a slightly more confident person who can actually lead people now. As the years pass I've been more confident and open to other people I don't know. I hope someday I will be an even better leader.

I can take lead in my family by standing for what I think is right even if I'm youngest.

I could take lead in my friends by stepping up and helping them do whats better.

I could take lead in my life by knowing what to do and helping others decide what to do.

I could take lead in my learning by knowing what to do next in my learning, knowing what the consequences are if I do something wrong.

To me, leadership means helping people know what to do next and how to do it.

Ahh. This bed is sooo comfy! But first, let me lick this to make sure it's not anyone else's territory. *LICK* It tastes quite good. I wonder if it's supposed to be food! *1 minute later* That tasted good! I had so much of it, now I'm sleepy. Night night angry owners! *12 hours later* Why do I feel so sick? Feels like I'm in the- uh-oh I'm somehow flying in the sky! My tasty bed is also gone! If I'm right, I can control my new flying powers so I can land, but how? How about pointing my paws down? It's working! Now I can see my bed, and my owners looking for me! Here I come! Uh-oh. I think I'm going to crash into the concrete. how do I stop?!? *THUD* Here I am, in my bed perfectly fine. I'm pretty sure it was just a dream. I don't know if I'm glad or sad about it.                                                   

I have this picture because I've been sleeping in all week.
