Write a letter to Mr Diver explaining one change you would recommend at TIS.

Dear Mr Diver

I would like to change the disabled class in our rimu area as I liked it how we had a place to play and we had room to eat, and I hate eating on the steps outside the hall. My second thing is that in the winter that we should have track pant, as our p.e shorts are to cold. I would also like to change the uniform way better.

3rd world country

What is a third world country? A third world country is a term used by the European Commission to define any country of the world that is not one of the 28 EU. Third world country sometimes refers to a country that is poor, less technologically advanced with high rates of illiteracy, disease and unstable governments. It usually describes most of the developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Examples of 3rd world countries:

- all countries in North, Central and South America;- all countries in Africa;- all countries in Asia;- all countries in Oceania;- the Eastern Balkan Countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzgovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro)- Turkey- Belarus- Moldova- Ukrain- Russia- Switzerland

Inquiry

A rose by any other name will never smell so sweet. This quote was made in 1914 known to be as William Shakespeares play "Romeo and Juliet". It is a romance play and is also a little bit of a comedy. This quote is very popular.

The meaning of this quote is (what matters is what something is, not what it is called). I think this meaning mean that dont judge people on the outside, its the inside that counts.

In Act II, Scene 2 of the play, the line is said by Juliet in reference to Romeo's house, would imply that his name means nothing and they should be together.

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,

Dear Santa,

Hope 2013 has been going well for you. Dont worry Santa, this year I don't have a long list, like last year hahaha. I will also make sure I leave cookies and milk, but if I was you I would go for a run after visiting child's homes, eating big cookies.

For this Christmas, I don't want to much this year. I cant think of things I want this year but if I had to choose, they would be
Money,
vouchers,
Iphone 5 c,
and a new trampoline.

I would like money so that I can go shopping in the christmas holidays, I would like a Iphone 5 c  so that next year for collage I have a phone to text my mum when I need to get picked up and stuff, I would also like a new trampoline, because the trampoline we have now is broken and we need a new one and its not trust worthy for kids to jump on it and doing flips, as I hurt my foot this year caused from the springs.

Thank you Santa. I dont aspect to get all of these, but it would be very generous if you get all of them :)

The Port of Tauranga

The Port of Tauranga is a huge place that stores logs and is actually 113.4 hectors of land. Logs are keeped in the shape of a triangle so that logs do not roll down. There is 186 staff that help around the port of Tauranga. The staff work 45 hours a week. Tauranga gets pine logs into cargo ships, transported by trains, or driven by a truck so they can get shifted back to Asia,China and Korea. Asia send us pine logs, and we turn it into paper, and other materials, we do this because Asia is to big to secure a area for to work with logs.

When you cut a pine tree down from the forest, the rule is that you have to plant three more trees to replace that one. It takes 20 years for a pine tree to grow strong and tall. Once the trees get transported to Asia, Korea, China or any other country, they then get made into houses, furniture, paper, pencils, and any other materials.

C3 is a place in tauranga that looks after logs. Every year C3 takes in or transports 23 million pine trees a year,
