Swiming Sports

The bell rang and I went to class and  Mr Redmond took us to the school swimming pool and we waited for our turn so we waited the first and second block and the third block it was my turn and I stepped up to the podium and Nigiel said on your marks get set go and then he clapped the blocks and  I jumped of and I started swimming as fast as I could. Ruebin and I were really really close and at the end he just bet me. So Ruebin came 1st I came 2nd and Riley came 3rd and to go to zones was 1st and 2nd so ruebin and I went to zones. After the race I was really happy because it was my first time but also nervous because I didn't know what would happen

Strong Paragraphs

 In the weekend my brother and I were bored cause we were at my dad’s league game at Aranui, it was Shirley Hawks VS Aranui Eagles when the game started it was very fast and we couldn’t keep up because the pace of the game went from end to end and side to side. I think everyone was keen  because it was the first game of the season. When they started playing they weren’t as fast as usual. Shirley started with the ball and the hits and tackles sounded like BANG and  SMACK the game started to get boring so  we decide to go to the Aranui Library.  When we were there I went on the Ps4 and he went on the computers.  After that we went to my taua’s whare and to go get some kai. When the game finished my dad’s team won and the score was 54-16 they celebrated and had a hangi, which you could smell all the way to Eastgate Mall. Yummy. By the time the hangi was ready I was really hungry. My dad and I ate like hungry wolves, then  we went home and  watched Netflix. 

Trip Into Town

              Tumahana Performance                 

On the 29th of March, Tangaroa went to the Town Hall to see the creation story. The year 7's and 8's split up into 2 groups. The year 7's went to Margaret Mahy Park to do a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt involved copying a pattern a figuring out how a name of a famous ship and also finding the names of famous birds around the park After I finished my scavenger hunt I went to go play with Noah, Cody and Jake on the slide. After that we went to meet up with all the other classes and have lunch. After that we walked to the Town Hall and got seated to watch the Tūmahana performance. It’s about this man called Tangaroa but in the South Island they call him Takaroa. We had to sit there and watch it for 1 hour and a half. I learned a lot from the performance and I know the two versions of Rangi and Papa. On the way back on the bus it seemed really long for some reason after a while we were back at school and it was nearly home time.
