Hollie Chips

                                     Hollie Chips

Hollie Chips is a girl who is very observant and smart   

she  kept track of her mother's morning routine. Hollie

was out on her street Puriti road playing one day she over heard someone's conversation she listened very carefully there were three men discussing a plan to

rule Puriti road and make it into a dog factory. Hollie

heard one of the men was named Bucscud he was the leader of it all. He said “we can rule Puriti road it is so easy because the girl at number four wants to leave this place because she hates children  and the man at number eight is so unhappy here he never smiles and the lady at the other house has dog poo on her lawn every morning and she is so poor she can't even afford to pay her bills” said Bucscud. Hollie was so terrified that she ran back to her house and told her mother the terrible news and then she could do something about it.

Hollie went down the street to the lady at number four Hollie knocked on the door the lady was wearing a white dressing gown and said “what do you want rat bag?” Hollie tried to talk to the lady but the grumpy old lady just swept her away off her doorstep. Hollie now was very nervous to go to the women at number five she knocked on the door the lady had red hair with knots in it “what now” said the lady “hi I'm Hollie what's your name Philippa

She said lazily Hollie had figured out a plan to help the people on Puriti road to stay in their homes.

I liked the story Hollie Chips because it is a good kid's book and it is awesome to read! I would recommend this book  for children from 7 to 12 years old. I rate Hollie Chips 8 out of 10. Written by Anna Gowan

The New Zealand Flag

                          

The New Zealand flag has recently been voted to stay! I wanted it to stay because my great grandad fought in World War 2 while we still had the New Zealand flag and I think the current flag looks much better. I also think it should stay is because all the adults would have to get new licences with the new flag on them.

They think that our flag is too similar to Australia's if they think that Australia can just change their own.

I felt good when they announced to keep it. John Key spent lots of money that just went to waste.

He spent over $20 million on the new flag that is not

even staying so I think that was not the best idea. My mum and dad voted for the current one to stay because the people of New Zealand who fought in the war died with that flag and it is just a great flag so

I think that the New Zealand flag should stay how it is.
