Kia ora e te whaanau,
This week for tuhituhi (writing) we are learning about Persuasive Writing. What is persuasive writing? Persuasive writing is arguing your opinion convincingly.
For example, "I think that dogs are better than cats because dogs are good defenders, are loyal to people who are mokemoke (lonely)."
Our persuasive writing today was about diving and basketball. We pretended to choose a sport to take away from the Olympics to save money on the campaign.

Our Persuasive Writing: Basketball!!!
Basketball is better than swimming because:
Basketball includes superstar athletes like LeBron James. He's one of a kind, and one of the best shooters in basketball - arguably better even than Michael Jordan. We can't think of any famous divers.
Basketball is also a lot safer than diving because diving pools are deep. You don't drown playing basketball. In diving you have to climb up a ladder and jump from a height which makes the water like concrete when we jump into it. When you jump off the board you can get your head donked on the side. We know a girl called Mia who went swimming and was trying to dive. Her head went backwards and she broke her neck.
The other side: Diving!!!
With diving, when there is a hot day you can go to the pools and have a swim. With basketball you just get hotter because you have to run around.
You can't get your head hit by the ball in diving.
