My best memory with her will be spending a fun time with her at our Touch tournament. Ashleigh and I really enjoyed our day playing touch.

Athletics Day

Sun shining into my face I was still half asleep. Waking up with a bright sight from the window my mum told me to get up for athletics. Rushing down the hallway trying to find my stuff for the day My brother hid my socks. Looking around my room there was one place I didn’t check. It was under my bed covered with books.

Walking to school ready to do some challenges. Entering the school with my house colour clothes on supporting team red which was Te Arawa. Walking around school it seemed like our school Point England turned into Rainbows End. Seeing everybody in different colours especially my friends we all had a challenge of who can come a placing in most events. The main events of athletics were High jump, Disc isc, Shot put and Sprints.

Lining up in our year groups I saw that my friends are really competitive on these events. Our first event was Javelin. A lot of girls were trying their best to come a placing.  It way my time to through and I tried my best to come a placing. I threw it and came second. Then I got placed down by my friend Rita, she came first. For the past events it came to my favourite sport which was High jump. I came second place with Andrea.

Heading to sprints I was so nervous that I thought I was going to fail. Lining up with some of the fast girls this was going to be a challenge. Ready...Set....GO! running and running trying to run my fastest I came fourth placing. Walking around after the race I dropped to the ground and had a quick breathe. After my day after school was really tiring. Walking back home with my friends we had a quick feed. Saying our goodbyes before I headed off home.

Show not tell

BOOM! a plane crashed landed and bumped into the ground of a strange jungle. Three screaming voices were heard coming from the plane. Unconscious and wounded, two of the men got out of the flaming plane. They heard a voice screaming “Help! Help!”. They quickly tried to find this strange voice as they looked up into the tall tree. It was a lady who was belted up to one of the branches. Climbing up onto the tree one of the men got a sharp metal that was part of the plane and tried to cut the branch off. A large thud was heard as the lady fell onto the ground. She thanked the men from getting her out of the tree.

Introducing themselves the lady was Kelly she was a explorer. The two men were Jacob and Mike they were doctors from U.S going to help the kids in Africa. Looking around they didn’t know which way was North or South because they were surrounded by tall trees. They all decided to find a way out of the jungle.

Lurking through the jungle bushes moving and leaves blowing everywhere. Tree brunches are falling in nearly every direction they walked. Jacob took a closer look at these trees and saw that monkeys are watching every step they took. Crazy animal noises coming from the trees made Mike scream like a girl and that made Jacob panic. Kelly told them don’t worry they’ll be safe as long as they stay together. To Be Continued

Tetris

Tetris is a game that involves skill and thought. The object of the game is to make lines with the shapes given to gain points and reach a higher level.  This game is very addictive and really gets your mind thinking. This game also helps with understanding of shapes so it is very good for teachers to let their students play!

Comparing our life in Auckland to Syria

Writing:Life in auckland

Waking up with an annoying voice entering my head, my brother stomped into my room banging a wooden spoon against a silver steel pot right next to my head. I wished that I had woken up earlier. I hated early mornings, I’m really not a morning person. Dragging my feet around the house I tried to get ready for school as fast as I could. In the car still half asleep, my head started to wander around until we hit a bump.

Life in Syria:Morning

With shivers down her spine she woke up in the cold. She was starving with hunger and was wanting some breakfast. With stacks of sugar bags and plastic sheeting to make her house warm, she was still freezing. There was nobody in her life to keep her company because of the war.

Life in Auckland:Lunch

I looked among the fields to see that kids are happy. Playing on playgrounds and fields it was a bright sunny day. Having a race up and down the fields I raced against my fastest friends. Huffing and puffing my friends were too fast for me, so I stopped and looked forward to eating my packed lunch.

Life in Syria: Lunch

Starving and tired the young girl was looking on the streets for food. Everybody was sad all around her because they were suffering from hunger. Kids were crying and families were dying from the serious injuries they had because of the war. It was hard trying to find a safer area to live because the only places they could go to was abandoned buildings or refugee camps.

Life in Auckland:Night

In bed ready to go sleep my eyes were dead asleep. Warm in my bed I could tell my brother was straight asleep after I could hear his snoring.

Life in Syria:Night

Freezing under her shelter she had no blanket or anything that could keep her warm. She had no clothes but the ones that she was wearing, which was a ripped t-shirt and shorts that were two sizes too big for her. Completely exhausted, the girl drifted off to sleep into the cold.

The first day of Term 4

Oh-no !! back to school this week. Getting dropped off to school wondering if class will still be the same or different. Entering the class I see that my teacher has changed the theme on our wall. The theme of this term is What in the world is going on? Sitting at our table my friends and I were talking about our holiday. Many of us had a great holiday.

Sitting in our school hall many of my friends are here. Waiting for our principle to arrive every teacher i see is in a costume. Introducing our theme What in the world is going on Mr.Burt dressed up as Mike McRobbits.

Time for team one they made a movie that they are going to learn about What is going on in Glen Innes. What I loved about their movie is that they dressed up as foxes and their background song was "The Fox". Team two, they are learning about different celebrations around the world. Then it was time for team three and they act was a pancake eating contest. My favourite part of their act was when they covered Miss.Walters face with cream, Make up and golden syrup.

Onto the last two acts was really amazing. First was Team four and they made a rap. The rap was about farming so this term the year 6's are learning about farms. The last act was team five our teachers have made a movie about their past. Learning about our teachers past makes me want to learn even more about them specially about my teacher Mrs.Lagitupu. I think that this term will be amazing.
