PHOBIA INFORMATION REPORT


Phobias are a fear of an object, animal or situation. People with phobias can go to great lengths to avoid there fears. Phobias are also a type of anxiety disorder.


Why do we have phobias? We have phobias because of relatives and ancestors with anxiety, age and gender also affect phobias, for example women are more likely to have a fear of animals, men are more likely to have a fear of doctors and dentist and children are more likely to have social phobias and anxiety. Fear of a particular object often lead to panic attacks.


The most common phobias are: Trypanophobia, fear of needles Astraphobia, fear of storms, entomophobia, the fear of insects and arachnophobia, the most common phobia in America - the phobia of spiders. There are some strange ones is well, like somniphobia, the fear of falling asleep, oikophobia, the fear of houses, arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, Chorophobia, the fear of dancing and even trumpophobia, obviously the fear of the US President donald trump.


To conclude, there are more to phobias than just a fear, they are a type of anxiety diorder. There are also a phobia for everything including houses!

HAIKU


DC is better 
Marvel movies are alright 
DC comics rock 

The Marvel movies 
Are good but DC is bomb
The comics were first

Therefore Marvel 
Technically suck 
The comics were first

Marvel is lazy
DC is way more complex
Marvel HAD Stan Lee

As we go to our first bit of water we all got our feet soaked screeches could be heard, our feet were drenched and cold.
We were not prepared for this. The freezing water filled our shoes and took us by surprise. With each step along the
dry grass a  squeak could be heard. Slowly but surely we approached the next destination, it was our first water hole.
There was a beautiful view of fossils and small green forest.

Chatter was bursting through the trees, until the instructor told us to take a break so we could admire the view There
was a small river and stones replacing the stones. Rocks the size of footrests scattered unevenly throughout the area.
Food was eaten and photos were taken, we were loving the warmth of the sunlight and the comfort of friends.

The final destination was the much bigger waterhole but to get there we had to walk through waist to knee high deep
water, it sure was a worth it though. The massive rocks and the natural diving boards looked amazing. The water was
beautiful, we all ran and ran through the crystal blue until we reach the ultimate swimming spot, it was absolutely
stunning! The grey rocks complemented the crystalized blue lake. Kids were jumping, diving and swimming,
we had so much fun it made the long walk worth it!

Self Reflection: One of my writing goals is: organise related ideas into paragraphs I did achieve this goal because: I used paragraphs and made sure they were related One of my writing goals is: Support main ideas with carefully chosen details and or comments I did achieve this goal because: I kept mentioning the river walk My next step: is to make it sound more like a descriptive piece of writing Teacher Comment: Helena, you have used a variety of sentence lengths for impact. I like the way you've used adjectives and language features like onomatopoeia to create interest for the reader. Your next step is to make sure you use the correct text type for your task. For example this was a moment in time.

Crime Scene

name: Inspector Hercule
date: 30th
Time: 12:00
Location: Creative Cave Tiwai, Kaiapoi North School

Crime: Break In/Theft

Crime Scene

I came in through the creative cave by the by the single door, I wasn't sure if it had already been investigated but I still searched for clues and I sure found quite a heap! Such as: Pink Lipstick on a glass, a note saying ha ha this what you get for annoying me and a coin. There were many other clues but I reckon those specific clues actually lead to something. Although there were other clues that didn't lead to anything like a hat, 2 drink bottles and hand and footprints but what I found the most interesting was rounded glass and pebbles on the table were the fish tank was supposed to be I stared at the glass observing every small crack and shine, but my concentration was broken when my assistant walked in with a piece of paper printed faces on white paper, underneath in messy handwriting read suspects underlined and written in black pen. He explained how he got certain people from the principal because they were the only ones with the security code number. I looked at all of the faces and the one thing that came to mind, alibis! Many teachers would tell their students what they were doing and who with so if they were telling the truth their students could confirm it. I left the room without a word and into the large breakout space where a teacher was searching was searching through a whiteboard desk for something When I walked in she straightened her skirt and said good morning inspector which confused me because it was the afternoon I had been here for two hours it was now 2:00, she was obviously preoccupied with something else? perhaps searching trough a desk i just happened to know wasn't hers? I corrected her, took a  breath and asked are you aware of the in the creative cave wh-wh-wh-nooo.....She was obviously lying it was like ten metres away from the room she was in not to mention the same building, I gave her a suspicious look and wrote Mrs McCarthy - suspicious on a notepad.


Clues?
I have a weird feeling  Mrs McCarthy did it with the help of Mrs Lamond. I knew the hat belonged to her so what if she dropped it in fright, shock or horror when someone walked? perhaps Miss Bayliss?
could explain the pink lipstick on the glass.....


Proof
I just know it was them and I am going to prove it because... Miss Bayliss got thirsty and got a glass of water and forgot to do her dirty dishes, Miss Lamond left her hat on such a sunny day!(in fright or not) Oh and don't even get me started on Mrs McCarthy! she wanted to bring her son a harmless pet so she stole her colleagues favourite little fishies Snoop and Dogg and the shoe print is the same size and brand as the one that was left on the floor, BAM! I love it wen i'm right those criminals are going to jail!

Dear Mr Hipkins

My name is Helena Kendrick I am writing about the heat lately. I know you aren't mother nature but something you could do for us is install a new air conditioner in our building to cool us all down.

We all know that you were kind enough to fund for our two new buildings Tiwai and Kopapa so why not put in a new air conditioner while you are at it?

Lately, the weather has been wonderful but scorching hot! We would like to be able to run around outside then come inside to cool off! But instead, we come inside to squish together and build up our body heat which then can’t cool down because there is no air flow. With air conditioning, we could run around outside the come inside to cool off.we would be relieved of how nice it is and would concentrate harder because we won’t have a headache caused by this burning heat. Plus isn’t one of your demands that every child should have a go at education and learning but we cannot learn nor concentrate in such heat and with a cloud of sandflies hovering above us. If you agree we would be the happiest kids in the school and there are 500 of us!I hope you are at least considering my request
Yours sincerely,
Helena Kendrick, Kaiapoi North School
