Protests outside NZ Parliament – Kiwi Kids News Summary

A group of people have been camping outside Parliament, protesting against issues around vaccinations and Covid Lockdowns. NZ Police have been involved in the situation, this is to ensure the safety of all people. So far over 100 people have been arrested. In the statement on Friday Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell said police will continue to monitor this protest at Parliament grounds. Police have been trying to move the protesters on their way, with an unsuccessful attempt the Parliament sprinklers have been turned on in a desperate situation.

Explanation Essay – My Dream Home

Reading the nutrition daily, floating up my elevator stairs or staring at a statue of Lord Farkward. Either one, today I am going to be talking about My Dream Home. I will be explaining the elements I want, to make my life more luxurious and full. 

The pantries in my house would be the size of a walk in closet. It wouldn’t only have dry foods, but also refrigerated foods. Half of the pantry would be a fridge/freezer, stocked with fruits, vegetables, meat and much more. The other half would hold my dry foods which would be chips, rice, flour etc. Along with a nutrition pad for all of my health needs.

It’s hard walking up stairs, but also boring waiting for the elevator. So I would have multiple escalators all over my house. This would make it more easy and efficient for my body to get from place to place. 

In my personal opinion, Lord Farkward is a handsome cartoon character. I would love to have him in my house, but of course he is fiction. So I would have to make him into a big, bold statue. Having him made out of gold, with diamonds encrusted into his crystally eyes. 

From big pantries to big statues, those are the things I would want in My Dream House. There are many other things I would want in this “Dream House” of mine, but these are the must-haves. Could this house be more than a dream?
