Athletics day

On tuesday we had Athletics day and I was excited. First we went and watched the little kids do there sprints. Then all the year groups split up, year sixes went to 200m sprints which is me.

I was standing at the start line, and as soon as the teacher get set go I took off like a rocket. but then Oscar cut me off with out releasing I thought I was done for. But then I just cut around him and keeped on going I was coming third Max and Rori were in front of me They were to far ahead I had to come Third and so I did. But there was still the finills. To make a long story short I didn't get a placing. Next was ball throw and Rori won that by miles. After that we had long jump and we got 3 jumps. I was coming second and third for a bit but then I got kicked out of third and went to do my last jump sadly I couldn't beat third. Next we had 100m. I came second in my first heat and close to last in the finiles. Last we had high jump and I'v got a dis advantig cos I'm short. For the first one the bar was already really high and I just made it over. When they raised the bar I couldn't make it over so I lost that as well.

I was really tiered after and I think I did really well.

Term 4 it's epic

 So now its term 4, and a lot of stuff is going to happen. First of all, we do this new thing artist study on monday and tuesday evenings. It is only in the moana syndicate we got to choose what class to go to and what artist to study I choose room 3 but I can't remember the artist.

The next thing is speech There happening in week 3 and I do not like to present my speech. My topic is Why skimboarding should be considered a type of surfing. I've finished writing it but now I have to edit it.

Athletics is coming up next tuesday but I might not be able to do that well due to my back ingere. There's a lot more that's going to happen like school surfing on fridays and lots more but that's all for now.

Hamanatua Stream Walk

On Wednesday (MLH) went for a long mudy walk up Hamanatua. First we had to walk on the road for a long time. Then we went over the fence and started to walk. Straight away we had our first challenge we had to go over a stream. 

I just went through because I had gum boots but some people had shoes. Tre slipped in ,Someone dropped their bag in the water and lots of people had soaking shoes. There was lots of cow doo doo and my legs were going to give up on me. There were so many Mud pachis on the way and they were satisfying to stand on. As we got closer the Hamanatua got smaller. At halfway we ate brain brake. Then we walked for a long time until we saw a bunch of cows with there calfs. We had to stay quiet because one of the the calf were sleeping. But obviously everyone stayed super loud. After a long walk we finally got to were the Hamanatua stream starts I was so relieved that I could finally sit down and eat my lunch. Then we walked back and did everything in reverse. Until we got back to where we started. We had to cross the stream again I just went though because I had gum boots but Neko fell in and his waist down was soaking.

When we got back the teacher said that we walked 8.5 Km and that's a lot of damage. I couldn't wait to go back to class and sit down. The end

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.

Cross Country Training

 On Friday, week 2, term 3, we went to the cross country course for the first time this year. I was excited because this is something I'm good at. The real cross country is in week 6. The teacher told us where to go but I did not listen properly because I remembered last year's course.

The teacher said ''ready set go'' I took off like a firework. I was panting, sweat was everywhere. I looked to my left, the surf was pumping. I passed Koka Rozie, she said "you're a quarter of the way there". Max and I ran down the ditch, I tripped up and landed on my back but I kept running. I passed Koka Pip, she told me to keep running. I had 1 lap left. I went down the ditch again, this time I didn't fall over. I could see the finish line. I crossed it, then I collapsed on the ground. 

As I was walking back, I thought what I could do better next time. But there wasn't too much considering that it is a 2 km run and our first practice of the year. It was fun to run the course again, I can't wait to go next Friday.

Penguin Project

 Me and Max have been working really hard on our penguin, we painted him and did a lot of work on him. I think our next steps are to go around the edge with a Sharpie and to clean the lines up a bit. The teacher said that we should spray it with stuff that makes it waterproof,when it's done. We have two more days to finish it and I think we are going to finish it in time. Here is a photo of him. If you have no idea what I am talking about check out my blog from last week.
