Speech - Shayle

          Why everyone needs exercise

Do you see people taking runs, walking biking or playing a sport exedra? Well what you call that is physical activity named exercise, exercise is something everyone needs in life, it keeps you fit healthy and keep going, I truly believe everyone can do it, with the right attitude its easy! Im here to persuade you to take my side and everyone exercise.

First of all - Exercise is extremely fin as well as tiring but its so worth it, and did you know NZ has one of the highest populations of obesity and thats nothing to be proud of, so we would like to stop that wouldn't we? The very first time you start an exercise program you will be healthier than you were yesterday, so you body will immediately respond and so your body will handle it easier tomorrow after each session. so keep it up and eat healthy food!

Next - Exercise is extremely healthy for your heart because after the changes your body makes your heart will grow and grow which allows larger volume each pump of the heart, and that will increase your living age, that would be awesome! There are many ways of exercising like; walking, biking, club sport, weight lifting, stretching and many many more activities.

Thirdly - Did you know exercise also keeps you free of heart attacks and clots which can cause death! The best exercise for the day is 30 mins or more. There is a well known saying called use it or lose it, it means exactly what is says, if you don't use it you will lose it. When it comes to exercise you need to be committed.

Lastly - Everyone should exercise even tag is exercise! it releases you from stress and makes you feel awesome afterwards especially if you are fitter than you were, there are many ways of exercising and it is so fun, you surely will be grateful.

To conclude - That is why I think everyone should exercise just try Mr. Fourie or Mr. Munro they will get you there! Im sure everyone will enjoy it and NZ will surely be healthy and clean and green, so use it or lose it and remember keep it up, I hope to see you out there soon.

Ingredients

• 500
  g
  cake flour
• 30
  ml
  baking powder
• 2
  ml
  salt
• 50
  g
  butter, diced
• 1
  jumbo egg
• 250
  ml
  milk, sour milk, or buttermilk
• oil for frying

• SYRUP
• 500
  ml
  water
• 1
  kg
  sugar
• 2
  ml
  cream of tartar
• 2
  thin slices ginger
• 1
  lemon, finely grated rind and juice   

Method

SYRUP: Combine ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Boil, without stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until a light syrup forms.
Strain into a large bowl.
Cool, then refrigerate until well chilled.

DOUGH: Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Whisk egg with 200 ml (4/5 cup) milk, add to flour mixture and knead to make a soft, pliable dough.
Add remaining milk only if dough is too stiff.
Shape into a ball, wrap in waxed paper and chill for a couple of hours, or overnight, if possible.
Roll out to 1 cm thick on a floured surface.
Cut into 4 x 8 cm strips, then cut each into 3 strips lengthways, almost to the top.
Plait together and pinch ends tightly to seal. Place on a tray and cover with a damp cloth.
Deep fry, a few at a time, in hot oil, turning constantly.
Watch the heat: koeksisters take 2 to 3 minutes to cook through and turn deep golden brown.
Drain briefly on kitchen paper and then, while still hot, dip into chilled syrup. Let them sit for a little while to really soak in the sauce.
(If syrup gets too warm, place it in a larger bowl of cold water and ice blocks.)
Strain off excess syrup back into bowl.
Drain koeksisters on a rack.

Beautiful old doll needs a home- Shayle

Beautiful old doll needs a home
This Beautiful doll has been my friend for 12 years, I have adored this doll for all my life since birth. I am extremely upset to let her go, I need to let her go to someone who can look after her well. She is so worth it, And she is not just a doll, she is your best friend for life.

Waking up, seeing her sitting up high on a shelf calling mum to get her down just eager to look after her, being a part of my weekly fun when i was little. I always made sure she was dressed to perfection and hair brushed till silk, looking her in her eyes, seeing her pink flushed cheeks and long beautiful eyelashes. So beautiful anyone could not resist her. As I give her a big teddy bear hug I smell the sent in her hair like fresh linen. Looking after her as being part of my 9 year fun with this adorable buddy, now at 12 I have to give her to another loving home, I don't want her to just be sitting on the shelf. Long brown silky hair, chocolate brown eyes and ruby red cheeks, Unlike any doll your little girl would dream of.

Imagine your little girl sitting in her bedroom playing with this doll, all your worries gone, no more bored child, this will make your little girl look like such a princess, and i'm sure she will be proud. Playing with this doll, all pink and pretty, just having a blast, the words what does any little girl have i don't? any little girl will think that, Staring over her twinkling eyes, oh yea, a cute doll like this will make any little girl do anything for her.

There is to much to explain about this amazing doll, made in about the 1980s just the feeling your heart gets just rising with love, it feels like your in another world, the slightest peek of her just makes you determine to keep her for ever! sometimes you just want to be a little naughty... make other little girls jelious! Your little girl will feel like a mother to her new born baby, wow what a wonder!

This could be your little girl having the time of her life, just call
1234567
(to note this is not a real number so do not call, not for sale)

The pirates are back!- By Shayle

                    The Pirates are back!
------------------------------------------------------

On a dusky, foggy and cold night, the night of the full moon, all is quiet and calm, exempt for the sea, every full moon the sea goes mad! there is a story told every full moon about 'The Pirates'. no one knows what their names are or what they look like all they know is their flag. The pirates have been gone fro decades!, since their lost fight.

That night at 10:00pm the story was being told on the rusty harbour  of silicone beach, the huge gusting waves banging along the sharpest rocks and the cold fog getting thicker. The story goes on for hours, its so terrifying. Most people think the story is false, but lots believe. the story teller was in this war, and only has one leg, a wonky nose and a lost finger.

While telling the spine tingling, eye popping and terrifying story, they here a screeching, "Arr" and the sound of a rusty anchor sky diving from a ship, "whats that?" everyone is worried and all the story teller said is "ha ha", with a witchy laugh, you villagers are so frightened that you imagining things. The story is now still getting told, and out of the night sky , lights flickering on and off an out a peers a huge ship, with the flag of.... everyone runs into the boat club and hide under the unstable tables, wetting their pants!, the story teller is gone, suddenly out appears his brand new ship with his crew, "the war shall begin!" and so they began the horrible war.

"it cant be", Their back!. They peek through the rickety windows blanketed with spider webs, making it hard to see. Cannons are blowing, windows smashing, sea clashing and pirates shouting, will we win? will the story teller be ok? our hearts are just pumping as fast as a cheetah.

                    Why we need exercise

               -----------------------------------

              Exercise is a way of getting and staying fit it is a way of making you strong, lets just say its
              a warming up sort of sport its hard to say completely what it is but listen, it gives you  

            Strong bones and more it keeps your body fresh and strong, if you are unfit all you need is a 
            Healthy diet and lots of exercise. In exercise you do lots of,

            Either lots of running, using your arms, stretching, or even playing games outside.

         

            Exercise keeps you fit and healthy so that you can get a good place in cross country,

            run lots in your sport, go for nice long runs, push heavy objects and get nice strong bones

            , you need exercise in life or you wont really get anywhere, and you wont fit any nice clothes     

             And you wont want to be carrying that fat waistline around. To start, try walking around the 

            block, play tag with you friends, you can even push the mess out of your room to build some 

           Muscles or help mum bring the shopping inside. Join a sports club its very good, like 

           swimming,  thats very good for your whole body, soccer, gymnastics, netball,  hockey, 

          volley ball and more.

      

           If you eat a bit of junk food or sugary foods you will really need exercise no matter what age

           You are or else you will become  obese, if you a little chubby now, exercise will make you more     
           Skinny faster if you start exercising. Exercise is the key thing for leading a healthy life along 
           with fruit and veg,  exercise is very helpful for your lungs to breath clearly, your heart pump nice 
           and fast, the faster you go the heart goes along with you, exercise is very good for all of your 
           body.

           Exercise is very good, if you push yourself, not to much, but the amount you need you will wizz 
           through with it, exercise is good if you do the right amount but not to much, you could really
           Hurt yourself. Exercise gives you a longer life, a very healthy life, don't forget fruit and veg to 
           help you, a fit, obese free, your heart pumping and more, you may find exercise tiring, loss of
           a little breath, and a red face, maybe saw muscles, but get fit, you'll be fine, its very good for
           everyone so go on get on that tread mill, lift those waits and eat more fruit.
