Māori Daily Life Crossword 🌤

In Social Studies we have been learning about what the Māori daily life was back in the early days of New Zealand. The instructions to creating this crossword was to create either a 'crossword' or 'word search' containing key words of Māori daily life. If you created a crossword use the definitions as your clues. Below is my crossword I created using a crossword generator on google. I used the top 10 keywords I could think of, and I didn't want to make it too hard so I tried to make the clues as easy as possible.

Absurd Warnings ⚠️

Society is becoming panicked about a lot of everyday objects as in cellphones, microwaves, Facebook, social media, takeaways, animals etc. The task for the work below is to select 5-10 objects, for each object write an absurd warning label that could be placed on the object when it is sold. Example; 
Sunglasses- Warning. Use of this object can result in a reduction in social status due to irregular tan lines across the eyes and face. User discretion is advised. Below I have made my own warning signs and put my objects in each of them with their own warnings. 

My Absurd Warnings...
A Shoe;

A Sock;

A Fan;

A Hair Tie;

And
Headphones;

Dear Writer's Block...

Dear Writer’s Block, it’s not you, it’s me…
I’m terribly sorry I had to do this through a letter, but I wanted to. This note will be the last
thing you will ever have of my writing, I really need to move on. Don’t let it get you all upset
because I have been thinking of this for a while. It is because of your extreme road blocks
and red lights you keep causing me, you should be a construction worker instead. You’d be
much better off finding someone who likes making people forget their ideas or breaking
off a sentence. I might miss certain things about you, like forcing me to think of a better
idea or ending. The truth is we can’t keep going on like this… I hope you understand and
move on too, my friend next to me is pretty interested in you. This is the way it’s going to
be so goodbye.

My City Is A Person 🌆

My City Is A Person
It has different heights, all placed so close that it's like walking in a crowd.
Shadows latched onto them, hiding from the sun's burning gaze.
Different shapes, sizes, colours as they looked at one another deeply. 
Just they had no eyes, nose or ears.
Each had their own flaws.
Or their own colourful strengths.
My city is a person.
