MUM

Why I think my Mum is a great Mum because she tries her hardest to get us where we want and she will encourage to try new things. Secondly, since my brother and I have soccer every Saturday morning and the times of our games could vary she always gets us on time and has never made us late. Thirdly, my Mum has a night shift work so that means she works at night not in the morning. As I said that she will encourage to do new things most of those activities needed parent supervision but since she is so tired she can't help me do the activities. Overall I think my Mum is a great Mum because of all those thing she does.

PEEL paragraph (Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS)

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS because we have a way of learning that the other houses don't because of our computers. Secondly, as we have computers in Rimu house or Multimedia our learning is mostly online where everyone can see our work around the world or only our teachers if they are kept privately.Thirdly, we learn different things than the other house, like maybe using a different app like pages. For example, I can remember a time that my friend was struggling with spreadsheet on google drive, since I had the knowledge I taught him how to use the app because we learnt it in class. If you think Rimu isn't the way for your child that's fine but remember technology is playing a huge role and the sooner you know how to use technology the better thats why Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

Create dialogue for this image. Include taglines.

"Stop I think I hear something," whispered the commander, to his followers. We stopped exactly on the spot, scouting ahead with our keen eyes in the distance to see what our commander saw.
"Sir what are we looking at exactly?" said sergeant Matthew, over the loud tank in the background.
Do you see that lump on the side of the mountain facing our direction?" said commander.
" Yes sir, what do you think that might be like a bunker or mini cap site?" asked sergeant Louis.
"Exactly," responded the Commander.
"Should I go tell the other troops sir?" asked commander Mathhew.
"Yes, you should, " said Commander.
On that note commander Matthews told the other troops to be ready for an ambush.

My name's Derek and I'm currently in spain's capital Madrid, I have been here for three months and my work visa is only for 3 moths and a week. I came here for a business opportunity and to learn more about how work is managed in Spain. I was not alone when I travelled to Spain I had two guys that were bulky and they are what you call my personal body guards.There names were Charlie and Jeff,  hey both had blue eyes but they had different hair colour. One had brown and the other had blonde hair. We were coming out of a restaurant on the first day we arrived and started heading back to our apartment and Jeff was carrying our suitcase with our passports inside. The next moment a huge dude charged at  us and we were to late to realise and the suitcase went flying in the air and was caught by some dodgy looking dude and jumped over some obstacles and sprinted out of site. We knew we couldn't catch him so we just sat there and went over what just happened and I realised we were goners. The main key points of not having a passport was that it provides identity and citizenship. Also if thieves steal you passport they can use your name as theres. I started looking for my passport.     

Story writing

From what I can remember I had a couple of concussions but I don't know how long those were so,  I guess around two weeks. I'm here to discover a disturbance in the galaxy that led me to a planet called Edswagua . For this mission i'm accompanied by a midget called Kevin who is good at squeezing himself into small spaces and Alas a tall skinny dude that has a keen eyesight  that comes in handy to scout up a head. We were heading into Edwagaua's atmosphere when the planets radiation made our system faulty, so we had to land a risky flaming ship on the ground beneath us and the ship only just made it. After the incident we decided to carry some parts from the ship that would help us survive throughout this planet.We walked a couple yards till we found a nice comfy cave to settle in for the night.Once were in the cave Kevin felt like something was following us so we decided to barricade ourselves with some sort sticks hat were lying around the place.We were sleeping peacefully until we all heard a growling noise that echoed throughout the cave. We got Kevin to go through the the armour of sticks and took it down for us and ran into one of the entries that led into the cave. While were running I tripped up and looked behind and there was the creature standing on 7 legs and had one eye and had a body of a spider.
