Athletics day

Nervrackingly waiting at the starting line for the whistle I start thinking I better not make myself look stupid and lose the race. Then the whistle blows and off we go. I don't know but at least 7 people sprint but some are slow sprinters so they were at the back.

Slowly I creep toward the front the chances of me getting to the front are unlikely but i'll give it ago. But it didn't happen. I finished 3rd I was happy that I could get 3rd in the long distance.

High jump i'm on my way. I was nervously watching all the other year 6's jump. Some were amazing and then some were average. I was one of those average people. I'm tiny, I have nearly the tiniest legs in the senior syndicate and I suck at jumping. Some of the best people were jumping the like the worst.

It was time ...  I cleared it lots of excitement filled my body I was so relieved I went to my mum and she was amazed that a tiny little boy with tiny legs cleared it. For instance Liam got 6th I think in the championships last year in high jump and couldn't even clear the first jump. But that's nothing to be ashamed of because he just didn't have a good day. But of course I wasn't going to clear the second jump.

Yum Yum morning tea is here at last. It feels like I didn't have an breakfast I was so hungry. After morning tea it was over.

Off to throw it is. Mr Bell went through all of the instructions / rules. It was my turn on my first throw  I put my foot over the line so I got a one. Well I don't think I was going to be able to throw it far anyway because we used shot puts.

Huff Puff I'm tired already after a long day. And were only half way through the day.

Bam were off doing hurdles I start to take the lead now i've lost the lead. Were at the final hurdle here we go ... I jump to late and almost trip over but luckily I didn't although it did cost me a few seconds so I finish in second.

Now i'm huffing and puffing even more than I already was. But the they said that you can go to lunch. At last I can get something to eat. Lunch times over. So here we go more athletics.

It's time to sprint to victory so guess what it's time for sprints. When we find out that to start us off they use a cap gun some people think that it's an actual gun. Also some boys when Mr Smith shoots the cap gun pretends that it's a real and they pretend to faint.

I here the gun and off I go.  I'm sprinting against a good sprinter in Oliver Murray. I end up tying with him which is the best I have ever done in sprints.

Dust pit here I come. It's time for LONG JUMP! I'm so pumped up. I'm real good at long jump. I do my first jump and get three points then I do my second jump and I get a 4. They take your best jump and my second one was the best.

This was my last athletics day at CSNS. I was proud of myself. I think I did exceptional. And also I competed in a long distance championship and got third which was a huge achievement.

World of wonders

This term we are learning about cultural diversity. As part of our unit we are hosting a Gri11 2.0 festival. It is called the World of Wonders festival. I am in the food group. Which means we have to make food for the festival.

I was meant to make Mango jelly but we couldn't find Mango jelly crystals. So it got changed to Tropical jelly. We weren't aloud to make it at school so we had to make it at home. But of course my mum was going to say no.

And yet my mum said no. Because there wasn't enough room to set the jelly in the fridge. So I am now doing adverts for the group. We were originally going to sell the food but we decided not to. The food that we are giving away are. Tropical jelly, Dumplings, Fried rice, Sushi, Pizza, Gingerbread men, Stuffed grape leaves and French Choux.

Were looking forward to it so much.

The Lions cage

We had to write a narrative based on the silent movie called the Lions cage this is my narrative.

 

On the 10th of August 2001 at 9.30 am Kevin was going to the theme park in Arizona, USA. On the way there to the theme park he remembered that he forgot his fake BB gun. So he turned round to go back home to get it.

When he arrives at the theme park he realises he's late so he sprints his life out to get to the game at the theme park that he really wanted to play, before it closes or the line gets very big, because it’s the most popular game at the theme park. He got there in time before it closed or got too busy.

He took his turn and won two BIG BIG BIG !!! !!! !!! pink fluffy unicorns taller than him.

He was then going to the ferris wheel which was on the other side of the theme park. Kevin was about twenty metres away then he stopped. In excitement he was staring at what he thought at first was a tiny ferris wheel then he thinks it’s a humongous ferris wheel. So what does he do, he sprints over to the ferris wheel.

At approximately five metres away. Out of the side of Kevin’s eye he see’s something… … …  it’s a tiger who is escaping from his cage. Because the theme park zoo keeper who takes care of the zoo part of the theme park. Has left the door unlocked. But at least the door wasn’t open.

“Run” yelled Kevin remembering he didn’t want his friend’s coming along with him. So what he did was listen to his own advice that he would've said to his friends if they were to come with him. He started to run and he spotted a door so what did he do he ran straight through the door and into what he thought was a building really it was a lion’s cage. He didn’t know it was a lion’s cage so he got a big fright when he saw the lion. Considering Kevin was running so fast he nearly trip over the lion who was at the back of the cage sleeping. Luckily Kevin didn’t wake up the sleeping lion who was going to go on show in half an hour.

He tip toed over to the door and poked his hand out to try turn the handle but accidently knocked over the wood that kept the door unlocked. He next hanged his hank a chief out the little gaps to get someone's attention to come and save Kevin. Something came it was an evil dog named Philly. Philly was biting and chewing up his shoes. What a disaster he said to himself what will I do. I’ll throw water at it. Yay it worked the pesty little dog named Philly is at last gone.

And then he had another look out the gap and saw a woman her name was Lucy. When she appeared Kevin says help me get out of here. So Lucy did and when Kevin got out of the cage he ran straight up a what he thought was a pole but really was a giraffe. He then climbs down it and continues playing and looking at the different games at the theme park.

Guy Fawkes

On Saturday the 5 of November it was Guy Fawkes. I have been waiting for Guy Fawkes for a year. For Guy Fawkes on a hill called Pork chop. They are the biggest and most amazing fire works you'll see.

So what they do is they let people go down to the river to watch them. We live about 200m away from the river so about 150 cars park up our Street which is very annoying sometimes. We have got a drive way that can fit about 8 - 10 cars up it so we offered some of our friends to park in our drive if they couldn't get a park close enough.

We went to the fire works with Liam, Ella, Connor and their parents. So they parked up our drive and we walked down to the fire works with them. It was a long wait though because the fire works weren't on time.

We didn't know when they were going to start and since we weren't expecting them to start they made me jump. And the first two were the loudest which was some curse. There was about 30 - 50 fire works and they were big, loud and awesome looking.

Liam and I were lying on the ground in a sun bathing position. I thought that we wouldn't see them lying like that but we actually could see them really well since they were so high and big.

Then we went home and we saw the lights of a police car which made the parents think the were checking peoples breath to make sure they haven't drink to much alcohol. But when we got closer we saw a ambulance and there was just one police car just sitting there randomly. And Liam and I looked inside to see what we could see and we saw a old person in there.

When we got home our cat was meowing and hiding because she doesn't like fire works.

The NBA season

This year the NBA pre season started on the 5 of October 2016. The actual NBA season started on the 25th of October 2016.

This year my two favourite teams are San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors. My favourite player in the San Antonio Spurs is Kawhi Leonard. And from Golden State Warriors it is Stephen Curry. Both teams are in the Western conference.

The San Antonio spurs are also called the Spurs. The Golden State Warriors are also know as GSW. Stephen Curry is a point guard. Kawhi Leonard is a small forward.

I think both plays are very good. And I'm am hoping to see both teams in the NBA finals for the 2016 - 2017 season.

My first tennis game of the season

On the 5 of November 2016 I played my first tennis game of the season. My team versed Te Kawa. I was up at 6.40am trying to get ready without waking up my sister. When I left with my dad it was about 7.20am.

We were playing in Rongotea so we had to leave early. When we got there it was pouring and pouring and pouring and only Lola and I were there so we had to stay in our cars because it was raining. 20 minutes later our whole team was there and then after another 20 minute's the opposition were all there.

Ashwin and I played our doubles first and we won that 7 - 1. That gave me some confidence for my singles. For my singles I had to verse a boy called Jonathan. I won my singles as well. The final score was 7 - 2.

I love tennis, that's why I play it. Having a doubles win and a singles win under the belt will help for the season. Also with my confidence. I'm grateful for the opportunity. To play tennis for College Street Normal School.
