Herald the Giraffe

 On Wednesday we (MLH 1)went to the Herald truck. First we learnt a bunch of stuff I can't remember. Then Matua Beau started talking about a world where everything was the same he said it would be bad. Then a screen loaded up on an big white wall. Matua Beau said that we where going to go to a world where everything was the same. It felt like I was in a rocket and then out of nowhere we took off Through stars and galaxies. Until we where up on top of the planet we sent a camera down to see how it was. The first image that loaded in was a picture of of people with bowl cuts eating some weird black food and there ears were massive. Then something happened and we had to go back to earth.

 I think it was fun meeting Matua beau again. Overall I think that going to the truck was fun.

Cross Country 2021

 "Ready, Set, GO!" said Koka Pip. I ran as fast as I could, but obviously Rory still out ran me. As I ran around the first turn, I already felt a pinching stitch in my chest. My legs told me to give up, but my big brain didn't. I asked Neko if he wanted to tie 4th he replied "yes".

I ran in and out of the dip. I was only quarter of the way there, now my stitch had gotten even worse. Rori and Jaxon were in an even lead, Harry was coming 3nd and Neko and I were both coming 4th. Me and Neko went in and out of the dich. This time I took the inside line. I ran as hard as I could hoping I would beat Harry.

But he was way in front, so instead I gave myself a break and waited for Neko. As he caught up, we ran the last stretch together and crossed the finish line like olympic champions !! I walked over to grab my drink bottle, I felt like I was almost about to past out. Koka Nollian instructed place 1,2,3,4 and 5 over to take a celebratory picture. Rori came 1st, Jaxon came a very very vey close 2nd, Harry came 3rd and Neko and I draw 4th place.
