"Volunteer"

When Mrs Grindstone looked at me and asked for a volunteer, i knew it was something that i could not get out of easily. I looked at her and knew i had to do it.

So i tried to act shy but Mrs Grindstone didn’t fall for it, so i had to do it. As i was going up as the volunteer i was nervous because i didn’t know what i was volunteered to do.

She told me to act out a story that she was reading and that was called “the night of the ball”. the story was going on and on until it  got interesting as she was reading i was picturing  about what she was saying.

i was listening very close to her story, and felt the meaning of the story it wasn’t the perfect story but it was a very nice and touching story. when the story was coming to an end i didn’t want it to end but it was a book it always ends in a way.

then after class i asked mrs grindstone for the book she was reading. i really wanted to read it again so took the book from her and went home and read it from the beginning to the end.

Thanks to Vanila for editing my work.

Vincent Van Gogh

This week we did rotations for art alive, In room 22 we were learning about Vincent Van Gogh. We had to draw one of his sunflowers. Mrs Nua Told us to star lighten the sunflower and to paint in the short brushstrokes of the Impressionists.

Vincent Van Gogh had a rough life in his twenties.

but I really like his art its outstanding and his colours are really natural.

Games People Play...

I play sports every year because it keep’s me entertained for an example netball and rugby. Softball I play at the beginning of the year, League an Union is sports I play with friends and family. Basketball is game that I like but i don’t play often.

Netball is a game I play throughout the whole year from February to December it is one of my favorite sports to play. As I play I get better at it. I play with friends at school and at some tournaments we love to play netball every year.

Rugby is one of my favorites sports I like to play it all the time. I play it during the year for a club and for school. As I play it I get better and better. When I first played rugby i did not like the feeling but I got better and started to like it.

Softball is a game i play at the beginning of the year, in the first term. This year i didn’t go because of my broken leg but it was alright. I like to play it because me and my friends enjoy playing it. Sometimes we just play with the softball ball.

Basketball is a sport I don’t play often because i’m not really that into basketball. It’s a cool sport to play if you know how to play but I don’t. I see people enjoying playing it, and I see famous teams play it like the L.A Lakes.

The sports I play is sports I like, sports is my talent. Thank you Athena

On the last day of camp we went to swimmarama on a nice hot day.
When I jumped into the pools it was cold, I was shaking, and all ready wanted to get out, but then my friend told me to move around and I’ll be warm soon. So I did, while me and a my friends were under water swimming, we were called to go and play a game of football with some other friends. It was fun we had to stick with a person to defend and we keeped on getting tries, but then the boy caught up with us after the game we won.

Netball

On Thursday the 9Th of February we had netball in the morning, I was tried and it was very hot. When we got there we got straight into some skills, the first skill Liz(coach) taught us was how to chis pass.

While we were running through some drills I felt exhausted because the sun was so hot that it felt like it was about to burst in to lava. After all our skills we played a game, bibs vs none bibs.

I was the only girl in my team, all the other was boys the were rushing, bumping people. It felt like i was playing rugby, while we were playing it felt like i was out of breath and I was really exhausted.

At the end of our session i felt like I was fit but really I wasn’t.

Treaty of Waitangi..

For the next ten days we are learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. But so far I've learnt that the reason why they sign the treaty is to make peace between Maori and Pakeha. But way before the treaty was signed Pakeha and Maori did some trading, Pakeha people traded Muskets for food but the one of the people that I know who signed the treaty was William Hobson was representing the Lieutenant-Governor. Hone Heke was a Maori person that I know who signed the treaty.
