__Monday 14 March 2011__ Rimu Team 30 18th Avenue Tauranga Dear Mr Diver, I would like to say how much we enjoyed our extended morning tea on Friday. Room 41 thought that you should continue extending the morning tea. If you were a student wouldn't you like a extended morning tea? One of many reasons that you should continue extending the morning tea is because it will encourage students to keep behaving well to earn the extended morning tea. Students will try to earn the extended morning tea by being on time for class,lining up straight etc. This method will praise students for their good behavior. Extending the morning tea would give students more time to practice there sport ,extra Activitys, Drama and so many more. Parents may also see there fitness levels rise with the extend morning tea. With more time to practice sports children will have more time to practice for Aims Games or even 12hour rely There would also be an opportunity for sports coaches to come in and practice with more time. The extended morning tea would encourage students to make new friends with the kids from the other houses and share what they have been working. The extended the morning will give students a chance to use convivial conversation. There are so many reasons for you to extend morning tea every Friday like more time to practice sports, reward system and a better chance to make new friends. Please take this letter into consideration. Thank you. Yours Sincerely Ruby Gooders

__Thursday 7 April 2011__ Ruby you have made your position clear in your opening statement, be careful not to start arguing your point in the introduction.
 * Nuclear Power**

Many people believe that nuclear power is a good thing. I do not believe that nuclear power is a good thing. Nuclear power is a power station that is dangerous to the world, global warming and many countries. Nuclear power needs energy to build and run and produce toxic wastes. If there was to be a natural disaster there is a chance of a nuclear meltdown which means that hundreds or maybe millions may have to be evacuated. New Zealand should not have nuclear power because it may lead to cancer, natural resources are safer and there has been many natural disasters and if there is a nuclear power station that may lead to a nuclear power meltdown.

A nuclear meltdown is when a nuclear reactors fuel overheats and melts the reactors core or the outside of the reactors let out a poisonous gas. There has been many natural disasters over the years. At the moment there has been a big tsunami and earthquake in Japan. The tsunami in Japan has taken many lives and there has been a prediction of a nuclear meltdown and hundreds and millions of families have been evacuated out of there homes. Japan is on the verge of a nuclear meltdown. That is why New Zealand should **not** use nuclear power.

One of the terrible things that could happen with a nuclear meltdown is that the gases may cause birth defects like spinabifda. That is when a baby is forming in the mothers stomach and its spine does not form properly. And another life threatening problem that may be caused by the gas is Leukemia. There are many other problems that may occurred with nuclear power. That is why it is not worth the risk of setting up a nuclear power station.

New Zealand does not need nuclear power. There is no reason for a power station in New Zealand when we have these other safe options that can be used like windmills and solar. There are also many other options that we could think of that can be safe and help save the environment. Solar Power is a safe and energy efficent way to use power. Solar power is used by the sun. Solar Power is sat up by a range of

Nuclear Power is a bad option for New Zealand. It is to big of a risk for New Zealand to take since we are on the so called Ring of Fire.What is the point of having Nuclear Power when New Zealand has all of these **safe** resources that can be used to create power without any risk. Nuclear Power is a bad choice for New Zealand and for any countries there are to many risks that could leave to cancer, birth defects if there was to be a nuclear meltdown.
