S.E.E Writing

Element 1 - Picking up Rubbish:

“Be part of the solution, not the pollution.”

By being part of the solution is to not litter around the places we go to. Littering isn’t good for our home we call “Earth” because it will end up bad and polluted with all our trash lying around and obviously some people who sees it ain't gonna pick it up because it looks unpleasant and its not theres so they say “it's not there problem”.For example, one day I went to the beach with some of my family and next to us was a big family having fish and chips, but after they finished eating the family left they’re rubbish flying everywhere polluting our earth! I had to pick up all they’re rubbish and throw it in the bin. A While after I was picking up they’re rubbish I say “It ain’t even hard to pick up your own rubbish and throw it in the bin”

Element 2 - Chuck it in right bin

“Sometimes you just have to chuck it in the right bin”

Be a tidy kiwi by picking up rubbish and throwing it in the right bin, don’t be a dirty kiwi and walk past the rubbish and the bin just pick up the rubbish and throw it in the bin.

For example, one time me and my family went out for a walk down to the beach because we didn’t live far from it so we went for a walk down the beach, while we were walking I see lots of rubbish on the ground right next to the bin.I’m just looking to see if anyone will pick it up, but while we were walking I see a person running and I thought they will pick it up. But they didn't, they just ran right past it like they didn’t see it, so me and my little sisters went across the road and picked up all the rubbish and threw it in the bin.

Element 3 - Don’t just do it at school (Homes & Streets etc.)

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” ― Barack Obama. Being a Role Model is to always be the person and the things you should always be the same and never change when you are at school or home or wherever you are! For example when you put your rubbish in the bin at school you also don’t need to do it just at school but as well as at home and on your street your house it will make your street and area you call home beautiful!!

Element 4 - Teach Others (Family & Neighbours etc.)

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

― John Holmes.Teaching others around you will really help out your community and the area around you to help keep it tidy and clean for when vistors or local people come it will be a Tidy place for everyone to go to. For example, while I was walking back home from school I see across the road a family walking back home, while they were walking there was rubbish on the ground the mother and the kids walked past it, but only one person picked up the rubbish and it was the youngest child there she picked up the rubbish. But the mother told her to “Leave the rubbish” but she didn’t listen instead she told her why she was picking up the rubbish.

They had been taken to their rooms the hospital was so dark it looked old too, Nevayah, Nevaeh and Paige were in different rooms but their rooms were next to each other they were all doing okay. The doctor went on each saying, “ You will have to be in here for a little while. “


“ Oh okay. “


So all the patients had to stay in the hospital for a while until they could get out, the 3 girls were injured really badly. Nevaeh had a broken arm and had to wear a cast, Nevayah had a broken leg and had to use crutches and Paige had a broken neck and had to use a cast for her neck. So they were all injured really badly and had to use those things. They had to stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks until they could get out they had to stay in there for 4 weeks then they could get out, their bones were fine they felt better than ever and they only had a couple of weeks until they could take their casts of and Nevayah won’t have to use a crutches anymore but Paige had to keep her cast on for a bit longer than the other 2 her neck was really bad she had to wait for 1 month them she could take it off. “ I can’t wait to take this off, it makes my arm itches.” Nevaeh saying with excitement.


“ Same here these crutches are making my arm sore. “


“ I can’t I have to keep this one for a long time, 1 month what am I going to do with this one. “ Paige saying with sadness.



They had finally got out of the hospital they were so excited and filled with joy to have explored the beautiful island Samoa, but Nevayah to still use the crutches, Nevaeh still had the cast on her arm and Paige still had her cast for her neck but Nevayah and Nevaeh get to take it off really soon and have lots of fun without them. Paige was so sad she was happy she got out but she was sad that she had to keep on the cast for 1 month she wanted to have fun with them but instead, she had to leave the cast on.


They had finally got out of the hospital they were super excited to have some fun, they were in the hospital for 1 month which means they only had 4 more months left them they had to go back to New Zealand. While they were in the hospital they had missed their felt back to New Zealand so they had to stay there for the rest of the holidays once they got out of their beds they saw their suitcase on the floor next to them they had some help from the doctors getting down to the exit and getting them in the car, there was a car waiting there to take them to where they were staying Nevaeh, Nevayah and Paige had got in the car with a lady that worked there called Megan. Megan was going with them to help the 3 girls when they needed help, the driver had left and taken them to their place when they got there Megan and the driver took their stuff inside then came and helped the 3 girls get out and into the house, the house was really nice inside there was 4 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, the kitchen and the living room which "This is really nice," Megan exclaimed.


"Look at the beach," Nevaeh replied.


" I know right," Paige told them.


The house was really nice the beach was really beautiful and the view was really pretty the sun was really shinning they were all going to have lots of fun. Once they had got inside the house Megan went helping them packing their stuff getting their stuff ready as well when she had finished she went in her room to pack her stuff then she went inside the kitchen to get some drinks for them they were relaxing on the couch watching some movies, everyone was so relaxed and just chilling when Megan had forgotten to cook dinner so she went into the kitchen getting some food ready for dinner the smell that was coming from the kitchen smells really nice they were really excited to see what was for dinner Megan came out of the kitchen with the food and it was really nice "This is really nice, what is this?" Nevaeh asked.


"Yeah, this is really nice."


" It looks good."


"It's one of my mother's recipes, but I can't tell you it's family secret."


"Oh it's okay, but thank you for dinner," Paige replied.


They had finished their dinner and watch some more of their movie Megan was in the kitchen cleaning up, "Megan can you help get into bed please," Nevayah called.


"Coming," Megan replied.


Megan helped Nevayah get into bed putting her crutches away and doing the pillows for her too, once her bed was made Nevayah went straight to sleep and Megan went back in the kitchen finishing off cleaning the kitchen Nevaeh and Paige were still watching the movie. When Megan had finished cleaning she went into the living room watching the movie, everyone got really tired so they all went to sleep once everyone was sleeping the moon was really bright and the crickets were chirping, everyone had a really nice sleep but it was just too hot for them so they were sleeping without blanket. It's morning Megan woke really early to make breakfast when everyone had woke up they went inside the kitchen and had some breakfast, once everyone had finished everyone got ready for the day Megan had to help Paige, Nevayah and Nevaeh get ready "Should we go on the beach?"
