= my report = = room 11's smashed window = = in the weekend someone smashed a window =

The people who smashed the window used bricks and hit the window four to five times.The impact of the bricks made the window look like a spider web. Fortunately the widow stayed together because it was safety glass. When the window didn't break they tried to rip open the window and tore off the latch.On tuesday afternoon / when the children had left a glazire came and replaced the window.

The smashed window had a lot of cracks but stayed together. when the window didn't smash they tried to rip open another window. The smashed window has now been replaced by a glazier

NUCLEAR ENERGY!!!
Nuclear energy is a non-sustainable energy.Nuclear is a sometimes good source of energy.There are positives and mineses about nuclear energy and currently New Zealand is a nuclear free country.Some people think nuclear energy is safe and some people don't.

Nuclear power is low cost and is very powerful.The first use of nuclear energy was used to make bombs that caused great destruction during World War 2 (1939-1945).Nuclear power does not pollute the earth and it doesn't start acid rain. It's made by pushing atoms of uranium or plutonium and splitting it apart. Nuclear power used to be called Atomic Power. Nuclear power can give off harmful radiation that kills living things. One single drop of nuclear can last for 1 million years. It is not produced by burning other fuels and waste from the nuclear industry remains dangerous for thousands of years. If we doubled nuclear power it would reduce greenhouse gas by no more 8%. In 1956 the worlds first nuclear reactor opened in North-West Britain. Many people believed that nuclear energy almost offered an unlimited supply of safe,cheap power. If the U.S does not start investing in nuclear energy in the next decade it won't have the skilled workers or equipment and buildings for nuclear to be n option. More coal miners have been killed than people being killed in nuclear accidents. If we delay making a decision about building nuclear power stations many countries will be facing a nuclear energy gap in 20 years time. The left over nuclear waste has been stored without any real problems in many countries since the 1950's. We should not spread peoples fears about nuclear power plants. Just because there was an accident once doesn't mean it is going to happen again!

Nuclear power is clean,low cost and is very powerful. In 1956 the worlds first nuclear reactor opened in North-West Britain. It doesn't harm the earth. If we don't start investing in it most countries will be facing an energy gap in 20 years time and we should not spread peoples fears of a nuclear accident **happening** again!

New Zealand has a population of 3.5 million people of whom 13 per cent are maori. The first settlers were sealers and whalers then missionaries. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote in 1893. New Zealand is well known for its farming skills and I am particularly proud of that.======
 * ======History: Captain James Cook first sailed around New Zealand in the Endeavor sailing ship in 1769. On his three voyages around the New Zealand coast, he not only mapped the area but provided place names, many of which still exist today.======
 * ======Geographical: New Zealand is made up of two main islands, the north and south island. I live in the south island in a place called Christchurch which is in Canterbury.

Sir Edmund Hillary was famous for being the first person to successfully climb Mount Everest. He was then knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He was a kiwi that achieved a very important goal and so he featured on the back of the New Zealand $20 bill. It is a fact that in the morning when Edmund woke on mount everest, he was shocked to find his boots had frozen solid.======

My family originally came from England and America and my Grandad came from Australia. My great grandad came from a very wealthy family in America but emigrated to New Zealand as he was disowned by his family for some reason and married my great gandmother. My mother had alot of fun adventures in her childhood growing up around the cashmere hills which was her adventure playground with lots of secret hideouts and discoveries. I have one older sister and one older half brother that I have never met as he lives in England. I have a step brother who always likes to get on my nerves and a stepdad Darren who likes to think he's funny and cool. I have two nephews who go to my school, the oldest is Tyson who is 7 and Brayden is 5. We are like the three mouseketeers and we like cheese :>======
