Kades 4J's running reflection

I went from running 22-minute run's and now running 16 17 18 minute run's pretty easily I know that's not that good but it is for me because I'm unfit and this has helped my fitness. Most schools in New Zealand don't run 2.6km on a daily basis. I and have learnt how to wake up every day and run the 2.6km run. And this has helped my fitness for west coast basketball running up and down the court when my fitness drops it's over the summer school holidays when it's seven week's away from school but last summer school holidays 20km every second day. One day I and Jack L biked 32.6km I'm planning to do the same thing. I have enjoyed the challenge and I'm sad to see it go I would like to thank my teachers Mr McAulay and Mr S-W.

Poll tax social slam

My opinion on the Poll Tax: It’s dumb to judge people on their race but all the other people got in for free they just targeted the Chinese.

Why was it targeting Chinese: Because they’re racist.

What is a poll tax? Its charging people to come into the country based on who they are. For example a person from China would be charged but people from Europe would not be charged.

Did they ever get paid back: Yes you can apply and get funding for community projects like the Kumara chinese gardens.

What was the yellow peril: The Yellow Peril is a racist colour-metaphor. Basically saying the Chinese were bad and you shouldn't let them in to your country.

vietnam war social slam

My opinion:

 I reckon that the war should have not started because it was a waste of human life and America got no land and did not stop communism.  When did it happen 1955-1975. They started to plan the war in 1955 but combat started in 1965. Why did this happen? Communism. lots of countries were turning to it and America was about capitalism. Would this happen today? No. Nobody would go. There would be huge protests. Our military numbers are very small these days.

mining getting banned social slam

I personally think mining should not be banned but I was put on the should ban on conservation land Mining on conservation land is wrong! For these reasons. Your wipe out the land and its bad for the environment because of the machines Aka global warming so all the seals will die and I will be sad #SAVETHESEALS. The mines make new Zealand look bad because there will be holes everywhere what looks bad all the tourist will think New Zealand is just mine that's dumb I have a story I go hare shooting but I can’t pretty much because they don't have habitat because it was mined for gold some family rely on mining to put food on the table and roof on there head some towns rely on mining or they are ghost towns how are people met to make money without mining it's our future it's so hard to find a job without mining it would be harder.

kades opinion piece

Watching the fishing boats so close in they are like 1 kilometre out there where all the rig and elephant fish are i wondered how many fishing boats are out there  so when I go surf fishing  l can’t catch a fish with rod and reel river fishing is the thing because the sea run trout don’t get caught our kawhai or  salmon don’t .

In American the salmon are nearly extinct because of the hatcheries the hatcheries are net salmon in the mountains and killing them and taking their eggs and by the time they get to the hatchery most of the eggs are dead if they let the salmon spawn and then they will hatch and go back out to sea and then come back up into the mountain to spawn.

 but these hatchery bully the salmon the Idaho sockeye salmon in 1991 it was listed on the extinct list in 1985 to 1990 only 62 adult sockeye salmon made it from the ocean to the Idaho Stanley basin to spawn but in 1992 only 1 sockeye salmon made it the famous lonesome larry one year it got hot and heated up the water and killed tens of thousands so now global warming.
