Abigail has shared her interesting treasure with us. She had heaps of old stuff she had found that belonged to her parent or had been pasted down from her grandparents.

Most of the treasure were from her mum, and they were a good way for Abigail to learn about some of their memories. There was jewelery, mum's bible, childhood books and a wedding photo.

Perfect print makeing

From Prints

It was difficult deciding what design to do so I decided to combine I enjoyed sketching in the flax  because I'm interested in drawing Maori designs the colour choice was red,green,blue, yellow and silver I chose silver and blue if I cloud go back and change it I would change it to yellow and blue silvers a nice colouor but I think yellow and blue wouled look better and It would stand out.

Why do we wear a school uniform

A school uniform is a Set of clothing bearing a school or businesses colours or symbol it is compulsory that a uniform sets a reputation for the businesses or school.It is most likely that you wear a uniform as you switch from school to school as you get older.

A school uniform helps you if you get lost amongst wear you are.It will help identified who you are and who to call or tell it will help you if you've been taken or gone missing wear you were last seen or wear your class was last seen.

When I say verbal or possibly gestures or faces or even physical it means you get bulled possibly for what you have to wear or what you like to wear and bullying is a dangerous road so sometimes its better I'm not saying I like it In fact I hate it.

If you are thinking now that your school is the only one with a logo and colours you are very wrong countless other schools wear them.It is compulsory that in most schools you wear a uniform.There can be a long line of uniform for each school subject.

Its probiby easier for parents not having piles of dirty clothes to clean and not having fights about what to wear and what everybody else is wearing.

Bio poem

Abigail
Hilarious, warm hearted, seeker of answers, sneaky
Eldest sister of two young boys
Lover of the animals we share the earth with, the sweet sound of music and life
Who feels joy when being alone and sharing time with family and friends
Who needs to be free
Who gives laughter, friendship and happiness
Who fears death and a world with no more day
Who would love happiness in every ones day and for animals to be treated fairly
Resident of Christchurch
