Athletics Day (Recount)

Last Friday, our school held Athletics Day at the Pt England grounds. The sun was shining and everyone was excited to start all of the exciting events. There were so many families and teachers who came and supported us. 

Non competitive (Fun Games)

The first event that the year seven girls took part in was the non competitive games. The games that we played were dodgeball, softball throw, obstacle run, Scatter ball and volleyball. All of the games were SO MUCH FUN. My favourite overall was definitely volleyball because guess who won??? HINE MOANAA! I really enjoyed working as a team with my blue house friends. 

Shot Put

My next rotation after morning tea was shot put. Shot put was a lot of fun. It was really funny to see lots of the girls chuck the heavy ball outside of the line, it was so crack up. At the end I was SO proud of myself because I came FIRST PLACE!! With 30.9 centimeters. Second place went to Tamara with 30.2 and third went to Emzjull with 29.9. 

High Jump

After that was the high jump. We started off with 1.3 meters. I was feeling really scared and felt like giving up. Even though I still tried my best, I was really proud of myself. First place went to Alepina and the sportsmanship went to Kree. Overall I was so proud of my best friends Olive for coming second place and for Sia for trying her best. 

100 Meter Sprints

Then we moved over to the 100 meter sprints. This was the event that I was most proud of. The first races were for the girls who wanted to compete for the finals. I came first for the first race and came fourth for the finals. First place went to Bella and second place went to Chrissy and third went to me.

Discus

Discus was our last and final competitive event. It was really fun encouraging each girl that through. I am so proud of all of the girls who competed. The place I ended up in was fourth. First, second and third place went to Bella, Heimata and Kree. I am so proud of all of the girls. 

Relays (End of the Day)

At the end of the day we had relays. Relays was the event I was most looking forward to. The year seven to eight relay team from Hine Moana (Blue) were Aria, Pesi and Olive. Olive was running first, Pesi was running second, I was running third and last but not least was Aria. It was a really close race. Hine Moana came second or third place. Overall I am so proud of my team. Aria was such a great house captain, she was so kind and she didn’t pressure us into doing anything we didn’t want to do.

At last, athletics was finally over. I was so exhausted, my legs felt like rubber and my feet felt like a big pile of rocks. As we walked to class Mrs Iloa kindly played the movie Mulan. In the end I am so proud of myself for giving my best and for being bothered  to play all of the events. If you would like to check out more images from our athletics day click HERE!!!!!

Explanation Writing

Task Description: This week for writing we have been learning how to write a explanation writing. For this task we had to learn how to begin with a set up, explain it, show it and finish it. The story I wrote about was about how my school holidays went. I hope that you all enjoy checking out my holiday recount. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you.

 

Language features – Poem ( Writing )

Task Description: This week for writing we have been learning how to use language features to describe a place. For this writing task we had to first think about a place you love ANYWHERE in the world. Then we had to write a poem describing the place that we chose. BUT here’s a twist I wasn’t allowed to say the name of my favourite place. I had to describe what I would see when I looked around. This part was pretty hard but I still really enjoyed writing it because it actually turned out pretty good. Can you figure out what my favourite place is. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you. If you would like to read my poem look down below.

 

Describing the picture

Task Description: This week in room 5 for writing we have been describing the picture. To do this task I had to describe the image that my literacy teacher showed on the tv. I described the image. after describing it I went onto adobe express and entered my writing so that an image can appear. When the image appeared I was so shocked at how it turned out because it looked just like how I wanted it to. I hope that you all enjoy checking out my writing that I wrote. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you. Here is my writing.

Have you ever wanted to go on a vacation where the weather is perfect and the sun is shining down on the beautiful ocean? Well here’s a beach called the sunshade beach where you can find happiness and delight. Jump into the crystal clear ocean and sit in the shade spots under the high palm trees. As I enjoyed every moment on this gorgeous beach and the heartbeat of this island, I’m going to remember every single detail and moment.
