My Day at Town

My Day At Town

First on Sunday 1st of March Me, my brother Havea,

my Cousin Nio, my Sister Raechal and my Uncle Una,

we were all bored at our house. So my uncle Una decided

to take us all to town to play basketball.

Next we all started to get ready and wait for Una

to finish cleaning his room up, so a few hours later

he was finished so he said “Go grab my keys and

wait in the car.'' Then I grabbed the keys as fast as I

could and ran to the car to unlock it. When I unlocked

it i sat down, when I was looking at the window Havea

tried to scare me by tapping on the window but I already

saw him, anyways they all came and sat down, my uncle

started driving to town and we got there, once we got

there we all got out of the car and except my uncle, he

 had to find parking.

He told us to meet him at the park so we did and my

siblings/cousin ran to the basketball court and started

playing but I was playing on the playground on the

swings, my uncle came along and started to record

them playing basketball he also recorded me too,

but then Havea went up the stairs to chuck the ball

down to Nio, Raechal was with me. Raechal wanted to

go up the stairs so I went up the stairs too but the

ground was see through so you can see what’s

underneath you. It was pretty scary at first but now

I just realized that it wasn’t that bad

My sister and I came down the stairs and went to

the courts and watched the boys play basketball,

I thought it was boring so I went to my uncle and I

went inside the water to wash my feet, my uncle

took some photos of me and posted it on Instagram.

I came out and put my scuffs back on to let my feet

dry up, my uncle said to take a walk around, and we

found a bridge where it goes up it looked really cool,

when it came down we went on it to get to the other

side and we saw a small library with chairs so we all

sat down to relax a bit and leave but we were playing

handball, the boysteam won but we wanted a rematch.

We went back to the courts and played basketball,

I didn’t want to play because i’m not a fan of basketball

, but I was the one taking the photos of them, they also

made a bet on whoever loses has to do the dishes.

While they were playing a teenager wanted to play

so we let him play and surprisingly the boys won again.

Finally we went home and we all fell asleep.

The Possum Problem

The Possum Problem

Introducing Possums

Possums are pests that like to live in

forests they

are also introduced pests,

they were introduced in

1837 and the people who introduced them to New

Zealand was the British Settlers, they thought it would

be a good idea to bring possums to New Zealand because

back in Australia possums were different there.

How Do They Damage The Forest?

Possums damage the forest by eating the new

growth leaves on the trees called Rata and Kamahi.

They also eat the native creatures, Native birds eggs

and flowers and fruit. Possums started to become a

problem in the 1920s.

Eating our new growth leaves

First, possums eat our new growth leaves on the

Rata and Kamahi tree. If they eat the leaves then

the trees will die and there will be no oxygen, if

there is no oxygen then there are no people in the

world.

Eating fruits and flowers

Secondly, possums eat our fruits and flowers

which means there will be not enough food for

the native creatures and if they eat the middle part

of the flower which contains the seeds, they will eat

the seeds all and the seeds make fruits so that means

fruits will become extinct.

Eating our native creatures

Thirdly, possums eat the native creatures,

if they eat our native creatures, then they will

become extinct, and if they become extinct there

will be no eggs, and the birds cannot pollinate.

Conclusion

In New Zealand possums population is spreading

all over New Zealand and  I wanna get rid of the

possums or any other pests in New Zealand so that

our world can survive and not die.
