Dear Mr Diver

I think that your idea of having a extended morning tea last Friday was a great idea, for the teachers and the kids. I know that if we continued doing that it would definitely benefit from it. Think about when you were a kid wouldn’t you have wanted to have a longer morning tea so you could have longer to eat talk and have more time to run around.

If we did extend the morning tea it would mean getting back to class quicker. It would be great for the learning because we would of had lots of fresh air and waisted all of our exes energy and we would be ready to go for the next block. I’m sure the teachers would like a bit of extra time to talk and plan the next block more thoroughly.

By having an extended morning tea it would mean that we would be a lot more focused than before. Another thing is that there would be more class work done the reason for this is that we would be focused, because we would of had something to eat and something to drink and a lot of some fresh air.

This would also be great for the teachers so they can have a longer break so they get more thing done and then they will have enough time to talk and eat as well as having a break. The teachers would get an extra ten minutes to mark and be prepared for the next block. =

__Thursday 7th April__ __End Nuclear Power Plants __ =

I think that we should not have nuclear power because there has been a few major disasters that have effected large parts of the world it caused enough problems through out Japan already. If we had nuclear power and there was a disaster it would effect the whole of New Zealand. It also costs a lot to set up any way why take the risk.

** The nuclear power is cheap but it is really expensive to set up it cost anything between 12million and 18 million. If you want to save power then why not try turning of your lights every now and then, you will be surprised how much you can save. Wouldn't you rather pay a bit more so you are safe and don’t have to worry about anything else if there is an earthquake. Wouldn’t you rather be safe than sorry? **

** Think about the Japan earthquake that set of the huge tsunami and triggered the power plant to break. Imagine if the whole world decided to run of nuclear power, what would happen if there was a huge earthquake or something went wrong and the nuclear power plant exploded imagine how many people would be killed, the whole world would be effected by it. **

** Don’t you think it would be terrible if the wast ran in to the rivers and streams and killed the sea life and polluted the air and it would end up killing people and being really bad for you. The air would be foggy wouldn’t it be horrible walking out side and looking up and seeing the air all mirky. **

** I know that not having nuclear power is the right idea because that would mean fresh air clean water ways safe to breath in there would be one less thing to worry about if there was a natural disaster. The cost of nuclear power would be huge to set up a little country like New Zealand wouldn’t need nuclear power anyway, Why take the risk NZ think right. **
