Waka Ama in Rotorua

On Saturday my Nana and I went to Lake Tikitapu in Rotorua.
In the morning, my Nana and I had to wake up at quarter to five.
When I woke up, I wanted to stay in bed, but Nana said, "Get up, lazy, or you will be late for your races," but I said, "I don't want to get up."
Next, we took off in our big car and zoomed off to Rotorua .
When we got there, we played on the playground with my friends.We played on the spinning thing, then the races started and we were first to do our races.We did the 250 metres and the 500 metres.

Tabloid Sports

On Friday, our school did Tabloid Sports on the field.First, we went outside and did the Skis. On the skis, people had to work together to get across the imaginary blue river. The imaginary blue river moved with big waves and sounded like a splish and a splash sound. When Deena took the last group, we won ten points. People moved fast to get across, so that they would win. When we won, the other team said we were good, and we said thank you for saying that. After that, we only had to use one of the skis, and Deena said that would be hard.
Finally, our group, Number Three, did the Bucket and Sponge. When we got the sponge, we had to pass it up and down and, whoever got the most water, won ten points. It was fun because, when we passed it, we got wet. We got soaked when we passed the sponge. Nikita said she was going to be in the front and Matthew was at the back to chuck the sponge to Nikita. When Matthew chucked the sponge, Nikita got soaked and said I don’t want to do this any more because she got tired and so did I. It sounded squishy. It moved sluggishly.
I felt tired, but it was a fun day.

ATHLETICS DAY

It was a warm sunny day at St Paul's School and it was Athletics Day.
When it was 9.30, everyone had to line up on the green tiger turf court.There was a big grey fence that was surrounding the tiger turf court. The houses were St Anthony blue, St Anne yellow,St Francis green and St Joseph red. 
First, the 9 year old girls did Vortex.
Next,we did long jump.The sand felt soft and sandy. BAM!!!!! I landed on my two feet and my score was 3.6 metres. On my next go, I got 3.7 metres and, on my last go, I got 5.6. I felt good and brilliant and great because 5.6 metres was my best.

Finally, it was sprints. We did the 80m first, then we did the 100m, then the great, the whizz, the wonderful 200m!!!!!! I didn’t want to do sprints, but I had to do it anyway,then it was the A and B finals. I felt nervous because I’m not used to doing sprints and, this time, I came 2nd and 3rd. I was in the A and B finals in sprints.

It was a fun day, but I was very tired when I got home from school that afternoon.

The Great Pet Day

At St Paul’s School Pet Day, all the children brought their pets to school to show them off.

The cats came first and they were in cages and the children put them in the hall. They were scared, nervous, quiet and small. Shakira brought her cat called Blacky and Blacky was moving like a snail and she was quiet. She was a frightened cat.
It was the Pet Day Parade. All the children got their pets and took them to the court. 
The goat, the possum and the birds were my favourites because the goat’s tail was waggy, the possum is a nocturnal animal and the birds were yellow and blue.
l thought that it was fun because all the pets were funny and the Pet Day Parade was fun, especially Isabella’s goat, and I felt good about seeing the pets.

King Arthur's Castle

Mrs Death read us the story of King Arthur, then we used three different pieces of paper and combined them to show what his castle looked like.

The Wizard of Oz

Tomorrow, our school is doing a production called The Wizard of Oz. There is a group of children in the choir. They sing the songs of the production. 

I am a scarecrow dancer and I dance with Alex. The scarecrow dancers have to dance like scarecrows. We have to kick our legs and nod our heads, and we have to raise our arms up to our shoulders and flop them about.

When we are on stage, I feel nervous and excited because I've never done a production in front of heaps of people for a long time.

Hi. My name is Sorenity and I am 9 years of age. What I like to do at school is to learn maths and spelling. In spelling, I like to learn all the words I don't know.

Kiwi Crew

During the Olympics, I watched Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan try to get a gold medal.

The race was on and New Zealand was in 6th place at the start, then they got in front of one of the canoes. 

As they got closer to the finish line, they passed another boat and they were in 4th place.

The rowers were starting to get nervous as they got closer. As they got closer to the next canoe, they started to move faster.

Nathan and Joseph got excited as they were near the finish line. They were nearly there, and suddenly, Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

The won a Gold medal for New Zealand.

At the end of the race, Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan were exhausted. They could barely stand up on their legs.
