Should all children play sports?

 Should all children play sports?


Should all children play sports? I believe that children should do sports if they want to, but you shouldn't force them to.

Why kids SHOULD do sports! I think it is good for kids to do sports, but only if they want to. Saturday sports are great for socialising with other people including their friends, but it is understandable that sports aren't for everyone. I myself LOVE going to netball on Saturday mornings, because I get to spend time with some of my friends and have a fun game of netball.  However not everyone has the time or money to do that, so doing Saturday sports is a privilege.

Some reasons that kids SHOULDN’T play sports. I know that playing sports is a great way to socialise with others, but I understand that people might be in more difficult situations than me right now, so they CAN'T do that. Sport is great, but if you're one of those people who don’t really like sports, you shouldn’t have to do it. But if your parents force you, and make you practice, practice, practice, you will get so sick of it that you quit. So, it would be a whole lot easier to just not play in the first place. 

So I believe that kids should play sports, but not all kids, because not all kids like playing sports.

Dear Jacinda

 Ahipara Concerns Room 9

Dear Jacinda Ardern,


I am very concerned about an issue we face here in the far north. (Kaitaia.) 

As a horse rider, I believe that we need Show Hunter shows in Kaitaia! My mother and I, and my poor little pony, always have to drive 3 - 6 hours to our Show Hunter shows. My pony Phoenix gets very tired traveling every couple of weeks. The best solution for this would be to hold Show Hunter up in Kaitaia!


Yours sincerely,

Kate Hammond

Should homework be banned!??

Should homework be banned?

I firmly disagree that children should do homework every night. At some point, homework will be helpful, but it's not essential for kids under year eight. 

Homework is not cool. You have had a whole day of learning at school, but when you get home, you just have to do more work. School is where you learn, and at home, that's your own time, and who wants to do work in their own time? 

Did you know: If you study too much, you can die? The three main reasons why people die from over studying is sitting in one place for a long time, stressing too much, and lack of sleep. 

There are at least 5 reasons that kids don’t like doing homework. It discourages learning. Many nerds do most of their learning at school and they don’t see why they have to do it at home. Kids think it takes too much time. It destroys kids' imagination. Kids will spend so much time learning, that their imaginations die. It ruins kids' relationship with their parents. The kids will get so mad because the parents aren't helping them right. It will also cause headaches and stress.

Did you know that homework was invented in 1905 by an Italian guy called Roberto Nevilis? It was originally made for his students for punishment.

So in conclusion, I believe that kids shouldn’t do homework but once they get into high school it will be helpful.

KateΕ› Level 4 Lockdown COVID19 2020



Lockdown 2020

When we get bored with the scenery at our house 
we go down by the horses and stay the night 
over in the horse truck.


In lockdown, I have been riding my pony Phoenix.





I have also been doing my work.


And on Sunday, since I live on a big farm, 
My family made a big water slide down 
our airstrip and I got a whole lot of scrapes all 
over my butt. 

Over Easter, I also made hot-cross buns.


I´ve been looking after my family cat as well.

My family and I also went mushroom 
hunting and we had them on toast for lunch.
