Athletics day.

Yesterday the it was Athletics day.

First I saw a combination of colours marching around the field singing chants like soldiers getting ready for war and brightly coloured fireworks blooming in the sky. The colours then sat down under the decorated gazebos waiting for their moment to shine, like a flower blooming. I then saw the first lot of kids shining as they zoomed past our gazebos heading for their destination. Parents and teachers jumping with joy.

I could hear the rumbling sound as the team's sang their chants with anger and battled for the No.1 spot. The teachers then gave 100 points to the winning house Tobruk. I could hear people around me whispering BOO BOO. ‘Talk about sportsmanship’ I thought. I cheered them on as the settles down and waiting for the next race to begin. As the following race finished it was time for mine…….

I felt nervous as my year level got up to race, we reached the start line and got into positions like lions ready to end the lives of their prey. ‘Take your mark , get set Go!’ I could hear my house cheering on for me , in the end I came 2nd which is a good spot. When I got back to my house I got and handshake and a pat on the back.

I could taste the freshly cut grass as I picked up the rubbish off the floor. I could also taste the burnt sausage as I took a bite, it tasted disgusting but I managed to eat it all. I could also taste the freezing cold ice block juice dribble down my throat.

I could smell the cut grass as I ran and stomped on it.  I could also smell the perfume on Mrs kelly as I went to check in my spot.

I was then exhausted at the end of the day. It was blazing hot , it was fun , funny and sad.

It was the best athletics day ever.

SUN INFORMATION REPORT

Introduction: Today I am going to tell you about the sun.

Did you know that the sun 110 x wider than earth. If your’e looking forward to learning more about the sun read closely and you will find out more things.

Heat: The surface of the  sun is known to be estimated at about 6000 degrees celsius well the centre of the sun is 28 million degrees celsius. The hottest day in NZ is only about 30 degrees celsius.

Energy and Light: The sun is made out of gas like helium and hydrogen. Which means there is no  oxygen on the sun, the closest planet to the sun is Mercury there is also no oxygen there because it is to close to the sun. But on Earth where in the right spot where we can grow things and eat things too.

Size and Distance: The sun is 1 million miles wide and is 149,600,000 miles away from the earth. which means it will take about 6 - 7 days to get to it. No one has ever been near the sun but I think I will be the next person in years to go there.

Interesting Facts: The sun is four and a half million years old and is the center of our solar system. Without the sun nothing on this earth will exist. The sun also puts out energy to our solar system.

Now that you have learnt things that I know about the sun you can go and tell a friend. The end

Mai Fm morning Show

Today we had a Duffy role model assembly. Our role models were Nate and Lily from the Mai Fm morning show. 4 key messages I learned were...

1.As Well as playing games, read books so that you can be a future role model.
2. Reading and travelling helps you to learn about other cultures and places.
3.If you read a lot it will help you learn more, you will have more options in your life.
4. Reading can help you to think of and find a dream job.

I admired the way Nate had travelled to the UK to watch the World Cup and meet the Famous rugby players teams!

It was a Fantastic Assembly.

Story starters

Imagine you are  owl who finds people going into an abandoned hospital.

As I fly through the misty, dark and frightening night sky I can see the moon as bright as yellow paint staring straight at me. While I stare at it I notice these strange things ( humans ) going into an abandoned hospital.

‘What are they doing?’ I think to myself. Without any warning I fly off and follow them, while I am flying I notice that all the windows and doors shut and open by itself.

I fly to a nearby tree and watch the strange things go up the stairs and into a dark room. I wait for like 5 minutes until they come out again but this time with blood all over their bodies and white things coming out of their mouths.

I keep watching with disgust until I feel this incredible pain in my left wing. As I look back I notice the humans staring at me with bloody eyes.  

I try to fly away but it’s no use. They already have me captured, as they lower me I then see a huge group of flying owls , ‘I'm saved’ I think.

I close my eyes waiting for the sharp knives waiting to puncture my skin. But that doesn’t happen.

I hear loud owl screeches for all over the place. I open my eyes and realize that my family members have come to save me. My mother comes out and fixes my wig. We all fly back home with scars and scratches.

Start writing your recount here:

THE BIG REVEAL EXPERIENCE


First the teachers took their classes down to the dots to tell us what The Big Reveal was about.

I felt nervous and excited at the same time because it was the first time we ever had this event. I thought we were going to have a special assembly but I was wrong. Me and my friend had to sit this one out because we had broken bones.

We watched the whole school get into their athletic teams and go with the teachers to do some activities. There was heaps of activities to do, some were easy and some were hard. We were sitting until our teacher cam and gave us her phone to take some photos.

After that I saw my team go into the hall and do some sit ups. I saw many of them sweat and I knew they were working hard. I was really proud of them.

While we were walking we saw one of our teachers sweating and her face was cherry red. We were laughing and decided to take a photo of her.

Finally we all had to come back to the dots and reflect on what we did. I felt embarrassed because I didn’t do anything.

That was one of the best experiences ever.
