Athletics Day

Last week on Thursday we had Athletics Day. It was a fun and exhausting day. We participated in lots of  sports, like 100 metre and 75 metre sprints, Shot-put, Javelin and high jump. I was in Te Arawa house group which is the red team.

We kicked our day off with a ball throwing game which you have to stand on a mat and chuck the ball over your head as far as you can. You are not allowed to stand off the mat or you will be disqualified. After we continued on to javelin which I failed at majorly.The person who won at javelin was Prince, he had most farthest throw of all. After that we continued on to more sports which requires lots of strength and speed. baseball throw and later on we had relays.

After morning tea we did shot-put. It was `fun but also hard. Athletics day was very fun and also very tired.

My favourite toy

My favourite toy was one of my cars that was given to me from my Dad for Christmas years ago. My brother and I both got one each. They are sport cars. The cars are exactly the same except for the colour. His one is white and my one is blue.

When I first got the car my brother and I wanted to take it out of the stand and drive it around. My dad unscrewed the bolts and we drove it around for a little while until my windscreen cracked. Then we had to put it back on the stand and screw it back on.

My brother and I always asked to drive it around but my parents kept saying “No you will end up breaking them.” I just wanted to drive it around and act cool with it but, no.

Now they just sit up on a shelf in my room.

The new house

One  day a really rich family recently moved into a new house. Their new house was located in the middle of their own island they bought a few years ago. The family which consisted of four people and a pet dog. The dad was one of  most clumsy people in the world but also one of the richest people in the world, he lives with his wife and their two children. Their dog was just introduced into their family not long ago and was adopted and chosen by their five year old son.

As they were settling into their house they noticed cracks, leaks, broken windows and more unusual things they were not expecting in their new half a million dollar house. Their biggest problem was the roof, everything about it was a problem to them, the colour, patterns and even the lights connected to it.

The dad James tried to call the all the glass repair people and some other repair services to come fix their house but the location of their house, meant that none of the repair companies could reach them unless they could wait a few days, but waiting was not one of his strongest attributes. So the dad decided to fix the house up himself, ”Hahahahaha” his family chanted together “What does he think he’s up to” said his son. He thought he was the man and went to the nearest hardware store to buy some tools to fix his house up.

After he done up most of the house he headed on to do his final job, the sitting room roof. He had to paint over all his lounge roof, and the lounge was the biggest room in the mansion. When his family heard he was painting the roof they laughed and decided to watch him. As he was painting he did not think to even cover the floor in newspaper or cover his face from paint.
The family laughed and at him as paint dripped all over the floor and his face. His wife decided that he was too clumsy to be her husband and abandoned him with, and she took all his money and her children with her.

What if I could go back in time?

What if I could go back in time?

If I could go back in time I would go right back to a time where I could change history. I would go back and warn the Americans about the Japanese attack in Pearl Harbour and other things like that.

I would go back and try harder in the Beep Tests or normal tests like the IKAN maths test. I would learn all lotto numbers and go back in time and guess the numbers to get them right and win the lotto. Going back in time would be like being a superhero saving the day.

The way for me to go back in time would just be to say “Go” (and then say the year or date I would wish to got to) 11/9/01.

What if was the principal?

What If I was the Principal?

Well if I was the Principal of Pt England school it would be THE MOST AWESOME SCHOOL FOR KIDS EVER. I would allow all sports to be played in the school and build a field for rugby. Pt England would be as cool as it would be now. I would upgrade all the netbooks to the Apple IMac Laptops and make the middle block full of free time. Going to Pt England would be just like owning one million dollars.

Pt England school would be cool as it is right now. I make it not compulsory to come on Fridays so we could have a long weekend.

If I was a billionaire

What if I was a billionaire? I wonder what you would do with all that money? Well if it was me I would buy things no kid would ever have in their possession. Being a billionaire would be like being Donald Trump.

I would buy lots of my favourite cars from the old school muscle cars to the latest Lamborghinis, Ferraris and store them in my garage that will nearly be as big as the Mansion.
My Mansion will be designed specially to withstand all disasters. It would have a swimming pool which would be an exact replica as the ones used in the olympics.

Mini Olympics

Finally team four and five are doing something really interesting.  This week at school we had an exciting and fun event, the Mini-Olympics. The Mini-Olympics are fun activities held in different rooms where a teacher is running it. All the kids from year five - eight were doing the Mini-Olympics event. 

We all were split up into our houses: Mataatua, Tainui, Takitimu and Te Arawa. I was in Te Arawa three (all teams were split up into at least three groups). The games held in the Mini-Olympics were, Jump Jam with Miss M, watching old Pt England movies with Ms Tele'a, Singstar with Mr Jacobsen, Obstacle course with Ms Va'afusuaga, Virtual dancer with Mr Slade. Our group managed to do three activities in the whole session, which were   with Mrs M (Jump jam), Mrs Tele'a (videos) and with Mr Jacobsen doing Sing Star. All the activities were kinda boring except for watching the videos.

The reason for the mini-Olympics was so we could have fun and enjoy the morning. Another reason was so the teachers could go down and visit the Junior School. Mini-Olympics was funny and boring  and Mr Jacobsen said we had a chance of having another mini-Olympics session. Like, when the juniors had their mini-Olympics. Their teachers came up to visit us.

Mini-Olympics was kinda boring but at least we got time away from the work in class.
