Famous NZ Authors

In week 5-6 STEAM we learnt about famous NZ authors. We made an image from the spine of a book so people know that a Māori/New Zealander was the author/illustrator of this book.

We also had to have some facts of a famous NZ author and I put in some facts of Gavin Bishop a famous NZ author in my STEAM book, for example I put in facts on where he was born which is Invercargill and where he lives now which is Christchurch. Anyways, here is a picture of it.

2025 Persuasive Writing Writing

Everyone Should Play Sports


Did you know that sports is good for you? Sports also helps your heart, keeps you strong and healthy, also it’s fun and keeps you outside all day. So after reading this piece of persuasive writing, I hope you will soon agree with me.

Firstly, sports helps your heart which means your heart will get stronger by beating faster which also means you live longer. In addition, it also improves your blood flow. Also, it reduces heart disease.

Furthermore, I think sports keeps you strong and healthy so if you are weak and stay at home, sports will make you eat healthier which makes you lose more weight. Also, it gives you muscle! Also, it’s pretty obvious that sports keeps your bones sturdy and it makes you less fat!

Plus, sports are pretty fun which keeps you outside all day. So that would mean that you won’t stay on your electronics all day such as an iPad or a phone. Also, sports will give you fresh air unless you play inside sports.

I hope the following reasons: helps your heart, keeps you strong and healthy and it’s fun convinced you that everyone should play sports, goodbye.
