On Thursday we went to whangamata to meet up with one of the managers of Betty monroe. It was really fun and exciting to be meeting with her because she gave us a lot of help with our GE. Here are our questions we asked her. What do they have that is NZ made fabric?, How does this compare to other fabric?
Which countries would you mostly get your fabrics from?, How is the fabric made?, What are the fabrics made of and where are the fabrics sourced from?, To see the quality of fabrics from different countries? What is the difference between quality of overseas fabric and NZ?, The process of fabric getting made?, What is the progress of making your clothing?, How many staff members work for Bettie Monroe?, How did the business start?, Where do they make their clothes?, Do you have separate staff members for designing your clothing?. After she told us all we need to know we went and got some lunch at Blackies. After that we went to go to find some toilets just in case someone need to go . while we were stopped there we took more and more photos. We did one photo that made us look like we had spelt NZ. but it was not the best of photo. My favorite photo was of us with the manger with the sigh Betty Monroe behind us. This was a really fun trip and helped us with our with our inquiry.

My writing
Fun time with family and friends is the best time of the year when your outside got the BBQ going talking laughing sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows eating smores fun time but imagine your family moving somewhere overseas where they don’t do stuff like that. Over in England where they all sound professional and fancy, how would you like that. Well welcome to my world I am moving to England we went on a holiday there two years ago and mum and dad loved it but I can’t stand it over there. Ever since that holiday to England every thing has been a disaster But the hard part will be trying to say bye to everyone. Talking to my friends at school to tell them that I’m leaving because dad got a job over in England. I always wondered if mum and dad would ever stop and think, Is this a good idea to move because they both have a really cool job already and I would hate to see them say goodbye to them. we are going over in a week to buy a house.
Come on time to go. It was 4 am in the morning we were leaving home to go to England to buy a house. I was not that excited to be leaving to buy a house. I asked mum and dad a question “do we have to go to England i’m not that excited” I said? Mum and dad were silent for a moment, Then they said but we have to your dad got a job and we have already got your school organized and your sisters kindergarten so your out of luck. Then mum asked what I was going to miss about N.Z. and I said my friends not seeing the family as much as I use to and roasting marshmallows and having smores. Well we can do all that stuff over in England. No I can’t my family and friends won’t be there with me it’s not going to be like old times mum.
I got so angry mum told me to get some sleep before we get to the airport and that I was shouting so loud I woke my sister up but I didn’t. We were ten minutes away from the airport and I awoke from my sleep. Mum and Dad never knew I was awake and was talking about a surprise when I get to England. I wondered what it was mum and dad never keep secrets from me and this was so enjoying I guess if I want to know then I have to wait and see what will happen when we get to England.
As we were getting everything inside the airport I was kinda looking ford to go see my new school. And apart from that i have now idear how I am going to kope. I love school here in N.Z it won’t be the same. Wake up, wake up said mum were here we're in England she sounded so excited about everything and me not so much I hate it in england the only thing people do around here is walk so poshly and talk so poshly to.

my writting
Bella was always different to the other kids at school Taller, than anyone else. She would often get teased and laughed at but she new she was perfect the way she was. One day Miss street were talking about speeches. One kid asked what are speeches? Mis street explained the whole thing to them like what speeches are type thing. After mis street had finished explaining to us she said, “ I want you to go home this afternoon and think about this please children”.
As she was walking home from school she could hear other kids from her class talking about her. But she new she was awesomely amazing because she knew she was the town hero that everyone loved, but when she got home she was still trying to find out what to do for her speech. Then she thought, ‘what about I write a speech on what it feels like to teased and people talking behind your back’. When she woke up in the morning her parents asked what she was doing for her speech. When she told them they thought it was a great idea.
As I got to school the teacher asked me what I was doing for my speech I said bullying she thought it was a good idea because she new what I went through at school then she asked me a question, will you please show the new girl around school? I said okay she took me to the new girl in school. She was tallish like me then I looked at her. Then I remembered she is my new next door naber. She was a very nice girl. then I said
“hi my name is Bella what is your name?”
“Hi my name is scarlet.”
“Would you like me to show you around the school?”
“That would be lovely.”
she said by to her mum and I went and showed her around the school she said she loved it here and that's when I asked her if she lived down pule drive? And she said yes then I said “do you want to walk home together tonight ?”
She said okay that would be lovely.
Once I got home had some afternoon tea and watched T.V. I had an alert the alert was coming from down the road . It was coming from Jessica’s “do I really want to save her ?”
“No” “but I have to”
After getting ready to go I reached Jessica's house and she really was in danger her house was on fire. I said hold on I was coming but all I heard was screaming and shouting after I got them out of the house got the house and put it on high It took around 15 minutes to put out. After I put it out I went and saw the house to investigate and found a lighter on the ground and it looked like it had been lit and that when I found out that Jessica had lit it to make me come. Once I told her mother that someone was playing with a liter she knew exactly who it was .
The next day I had a cold it was so bad I was just getting to love school but then it gave me time to write my speech it was so awesome. By the end of the day I had finished my speech I emailed Mis street to ask her to look at it I got an email back about 15 minutes later saying I put it on Q cards and she said I could print it out. I was so excited she had also said that I was one the first people to finish.
The day had come speech day. I was so excited and scared at the same time it was the first time I have done speeches . when I got to school scarlet was there waiting for me she looked so scared. I wanted to ask her what was wrong till we got to the cloak day.
“Scarlet what is wrong? “ Bella asked her.
“Its nothing” she dust into tears .
“Okay Jessica was kinda talking to me saying you shouldn't have started to hang out with you and if I do then she would she would start to call me names plus bully me and I’m not the only one that she will do it to. How else will she do it to you and my younger siblings.” I convinced Scarlet to tell Mis street what had happened and why. She was not happy at all and said she will talk to her soon now have a seat girls.
Speech time “I was so excited for speeches I hope I am first because then it is over and done with the teacher calls out my name and I stand up and walk to the front. “I say my speech and who I write my speech actually knew who I was writing it on.” We will tell you later who got into haruki plans speech competition.
It was after lunch yay she was going to tell us who got into speech finals. Welcome class now we have made a decision the two people that are going through to the speech finless on thursday are… Scarlet and Bella. There was a dead silence as Bella and Scarlett hugged each other in Amazement then everyone except Jessica started clapping.
As Bella and scarlett were walking home Bella asked scarlett a question do you want to Came to my house tonight sure I will just go and see mum and dad plus get changed said scarlett and some sweets. Perfect. Said Bella. As bella was walking up the stairs scarlett comes running out the door and say that it was okay. I walk in the door and tell mum and dad they said that they were having dinner tonight to say congratulation to you to. After I got changed and got some food ready the doorbell goes and Scarlett is standing there. I show her around the house she thought it was amazing walking down the stairs I said I still have to show you the back yard as we walked out said mum had got some more food and got all the outdoor furniture ready we sat down and were watching T.V when the doorbell rang again mum answered it and said it was for me we went inside and Jessica was at the door and said give me my speech back you stole and started to cry. I told her it was my speech and to go away. She said the day that I was away I stole her speech and that she wants it back. That was when I slammed the door in her face. The thing that was so awesome was that Scarlett got it all on film.

who would make a good american president
Hilary Clinton Donald trump who do you think will make a good american president.
I think Hilary Clinton would make a good American president because she is nice and dose not call people what Donald trump calls women. If Donald trump was president he would build a wall around Mexico and America and make mexico pay for it. so that is why I pike Hilary Clinton.

Got her and that is when we started to watch the black ferns. They are the women's rugby team. Then my grandparents friends got here and she had brought a really nice self serving pudding. Know dinner was ready and it looked really nice I ate most of my dinner. WE turned on the ruby and they were singing the National anthems. After watching the first half we had pudding it was so delicious but I could not eat it all. During the second half I could not stop coughing so I went and put my onesies on. Once the rugby was done everyone left and I went straight to ded and had a good night sleep.

First we started to make bracelets that had words on them for example mine said life and Ayisha’s said Yay. after we had finished making them we decide to go and hope on the tram. We went back inside and the phone began to ring
Mum picked it up and it was my sister karly who was staying at a friends house for her party and she wanted my dad who had just got back from work. So dad said he would come and see here. For her birthday she had got a dig teddy dear so dad beside to dress it up like him. After we dressed him up we went and put him in the front seat of the car. We ate dinner then went up stairs and waited for my dad to come up and put the movie on.
