During our D.A.R.E authentic challenge on drugs while researching we came across a very sad story of a sister who lost her sister to drugs. We sent her an email to ask if we could use her story she replied with the following email.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Kyndall's story. You are more than welcome to use anything you would like.
Please see her website and please look through the PowerPoint presentation, her journals and also the archived News information.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask.
I applaud your efforts in helping the world-wide drug epidemic.
Thanks,
Nicole

Narritive
Could of said NO
“Ouch” a screwed up piece of paper hit Matt on the back of the head, he looked around swearing under his breath. Reaching for the piece of paper he opened it up. It read you wanna do something fun today something exciting, Matt looked up at Josh the slim boy with the black hoddie and blondish brownish hair, Matt glanced back at the piece of paper and read on how about we steal some stuff it read at the bottom of the piece of paper it read P.S meet me in the corridor and a few very nasty words carried on the sentence.
As the interval bell went Matt stayed back for a little waiting for all the rest of the students to leave the classroom. Once everyone was gone Matt walked to the corridor and meet up with Josh who was surrounded by girls. When Josh saw Matt he told the girls to leave. “What do you want”? Said Matt “oh yes I had a really good idea in class that we should get back at Mr Garrison and steal his laptop” laughed Josh. A few weeks earlier Mr Garrison had caught them after school tagging on the walls of the school therefore they had a very bad grudge against Mr Garrison plus it was none of his business. Even though Matt didn’t like Mr Garrison he was very worried that he would get in more trouble than before. “So you wanna do it”.
Matt had to think long and hard about his decision if he did it he would prove him self worthy of Josh but if he didn’t he would lose his only friend for sure, “Yes” replied Matt “good meet you at the classroom after school 3:30 don’t be late!”.
At 3:30 Josh was waiting outside the classroom looking up and glancing around he saw Matt and said are you ready I nodded he opened the door and ran in I followed. When I got inside he was already at the desk he threw the laptop at me I dropped it there was a loud thud that echoed in the room. Josh then started cursing at him then they go in to an argument. They were vey unaware that the teachers would be back soon and sure enough Mr Garrison walks in.
The next was a terrible day as the Principle, their parents and Mr Garrison talked to Matt and Josh. Matt and Josh were expelled from this school and therefore Matt thought back to the incident and the only thing he should of done when Josh asked to steal the laptop was NO.

This term in D.A.R.E we have had Constable Sheree from the local community to come to our school and teach our class about drugs. We he have been learning about all sorts of drugs and why not to take them, resisting them and drug abuse. One of the most common drug we discussed was Methamphetamine. We discussed the harmful effects of Methamphetamine such as that it kills brain cells and other bad effects. We also discussed peer pressure and not to give in to it, we did little activitys not help not give onto peer pressure.

Lunch Time Touch
Every lunch time at Pukekohe Intermediate, classroom touch teams take to the field to participate in the classroom touch competition.
Mrs Hancock the school sports co-ordinator, has started this competition. She got students to help with the competition such as setting up the field or refereeing games.
Rules to the competition and the game are very straight forward. Rules for the competition are that you can only have 6 players on the field, your team must have 2 girls on the field during the game. All touch rules apply.
Our classroom has won 2 games against room3 & room5 and unfortunatley lost 2 games to room 4 and room 5.
To improve our game play, our class need to work together, run forwards and eliminate errors.

The touch rugby referees have been and the competition couldn't of happened without them. :)
