Medical marijuana should be legalised English
Medical marijuana can help with mental disorders. On https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-distracted-couple/201502/adhd-and-weed-what-s-the-draw it states in 2014 that marijuana helps make people with ADHD more focus and have a more positive mindset. It tells us all about how marijuana is good for people with ADHD and how it helps in many different ways.
Marijuana can be used to relieve pain. People use marijuana in their everyday life to relieve their pain in their bodies. Patrick Stewart states on http://people.com/, that he uses medical marijuana for arthritis on his hands. Using the cannabis spray, ointments and edibles take all the pain away.
Marijuana helps with stress. Professor Emily Childs stated, at www.medicalnewstoday.com, that only a few puffs of cannabis can help with your stress. THC is one of many ingredients in marijuana, and THC is what helps relieve your stress.

(All zoos should be shut down) English writing
All zoos should be shut down and all animals should be let back into their natural habitat? No, I don't think that animals in the zoo should be let out back into their habitats.
Majority of why animals are in the zoo is because their species are endangered or they've become sick or injured and now can't survive in the wild again and their homes could've been destroyed. The zoo is only trying to help out and keep the species alive for many many more years.
The zoo people try their best at making the animals enclosures like they would feel, look, and smell like as if they were still in their habitat.

Drug Use In Sport English
Drugs should be allowed in sports, no I don’t think they should. Drugs are very dangerous and harmful towards people’s bodies. Athletes and other people who use drugs for exercise and more should be very careful about what they use.
Drugs have many side effects and can cause so many health problems for your body now and for the future, it may seem like a good idea at the time because it's giving you more chance to win at the sport, game, whatever you’re doing, but it's it a good when you’re suddenly addicted to using drugs and cannot live a day without them?

Creative Writing English

We really needed to win this game, with me being injured and not being able to play it left the team with no subs, so it was them and if anyone else got injured we would have to default.
We were all very excited for this game but also very nervous! We knew we were a good enough team to pull through and have a great game.
The team went ahead and played an awesome game in the hot heat!!
Our team won the finals, we won by 2 points, it was a very close game. We all had to go up to the Christchurch netball committee and collect our medals and certificates.
I knew we weren't the best netball team, but we did stay positive and kept a good thinking mind.

This was done to show the hatred between both gangs, and show what some of the outcomes are when they do fight.

This shows that PonyBoy and Johnny aren't all bad people because they put their lives in danger to save the kids.
This was done to show what the real Ponyboy and Johnny were like, kind people with loving hearts.
This reminded me of the London fires that happened yesterday.

When Ponyboy and Johnny cut all their hair off and dye it

The outsiders heading
WANTED! Ponyboy and Johnny do a runner after murdering Bob Sheldon. This incident happened at early hours in the morning around 3:30am at the park. They stabbed him after the socs attacked Johnny and Ponyboy and came onto them. They both have browny black hair and their ages are 14 and 16. They belong to the gang called the greasers. They could have weapons and are probably dangerous so do not approach them either call the police using 911 or go into the nearest police station as soon as possible. There could be money as a reward but not sure. Keep a look out!

Year 10 SCIENCE
Big Bang
The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution.
What does the Big Bang Theory say?
That that universe started off with a big bang!
The origin of the name was a joke to make the theory sound stupid.

Catch ‘em: ‘The Power of One’ by John.G.Avildsen was inspirational and heartwarming film.
