Athletics Day

I was at athletics day and I'll tell the truth, I didn't want to do Athletics. We did long distance first, and I got a one. Next was high jump, the same... a one. But shot put I did better, I got a three and  I couldn't believe it, ( I'm not the best at Athletics ) I got into the relay team, and was nervous to take the batten, when I got handed it I sprinted as fast as I could. I reached out and placed it in the person's hand in front of me. I jogged behind them and got to the other side. I high five Zara K and lay down on the cool grass, panting. After the teams relays the parents did a relay, it was so funny to watch. We went back to class after the big event and did class stuff, maths, writing and reading.... boring things. I went home and told my mum all about it after school. It was more fun then I thought. :D

World Of Wonders

At school we are doing a World Of Wonders Cultural Festival. I have chosen to be part of the cultural foods, and am cooking in the Asian category. I am making Fried rice which we have chosen to make at home. The reason why we are doing this Festival is because we want to prove that we love all cultures not just ours. We want to show we care about all cultures by selling some different foods than our own for free. Other pupils in my class have chosen to host or be part of this festival in sport, yoga or dance. Here is a picture of the food I am cooking!

YUM

Online bullying

Online bulling is horrible, everybody knows that. But why do they still do it?  Well, some people find it entertaining, or funny. But words written down can't be taken in the right way you want them to. If you come accross someone being bullied, online or not. Tell an adult. The same for if you are being bullied online. Online bullying is called Cyber bullying, and it's horrible to do or have done to you. If you are Cyber bullying someone, say sorry or tell an adult you didn't mean to make the person upset, they just took it in the wrong way. So if you are being Cyber bullied or are Cyber bullying, or you see someone being Cyber bullied, TELL AN ADULT. There are over 7 billion people in the world, and your gonna let one person ruin your day? DON'T.

Bike saftey

On Friday, the Girls in GRi11 2.0 did Bike safety. We learnt how to indicate and go around round-a-bouts! To go around them, you have to give way to your right. I had so much fun. We also did a game, that if you were caught doing something illegal you were out. I stayed in till the end of the first round, but in the second round I was out for speeding! With indicating, you have to put your right hand out to indicate right, the same with turning left, apart from when your going left you put your left arm out. I girl in my class called Reem left a skid mark on the concrete! Here's a picture of the fun event!

Guy Fawkes

I link arms with Caity as we enter the crowd, ' stick together! ' yells Mum. Lara laughs as she looks at Caity and I linking arms and joins arms with me and whispers to mum, ' we won't get lost ' Mum smiles, ' good to know.' We sit down on the rocks and talk before it starts, I lie down and look up at the stars, they're twinkling away. Suddenly the peaceful night with people chatting quietly was interrupted by fireworks booming from up in the sky. I hold my earmuffs as tight as I can to block the noise of the banging. I open my sqiunted eyes and have a look at the fireworks exploding in the beautiful night sky. It was over to quick, we were soon in the car heading home. The traffic was horrible, since everyone was coming back from the River firworks. It took ages to get home, but soon I was asleep in my cosy bed, hearing fireworks explode in my dreams.

How To Horse Ride

Everyone loves horses, right? Well not everyone knows how to ride, and thats what your going to learn today! You should have a mounting block to start with, you then stand up on the mounting block. Put your left foot in the closest stirrup, and swing your body over the horse and slip your right foot in the other stirrup. Grab the reins and pull right to go right, and left to go left. To stop just simply pull the reins towards you. To start your horse, kick your heels into the horse and to trot kick twice. When trotting, rise count to one, then sit back down then keep repeating this untill you want to walk. In which you pull the reins towards you till your walking. Do you LOVE horses, or are you not so fond of them? Answer in the comments, don't be shy! # HORSES!

Halloween train

My heart was thumping and my hairs were standing on end. I didn't sign up for this that one thought whirls around in my mind, I grip Lola's arm and I can feel Dorothy breathing on my neck. I hear a muffled voice from up the front of the train, I can see I cage hanging above the track and hear a petrified scream through the bars. A hand reaches through the bars, I scream and dodge the hanging hand. Lola and Dorothy look at me and we all say at the same time, " I didn't even have a chance to write my will! " I hear a snigger from the bushes, and start to scream as hard as I can. I can see a figure emerge from the bushes and stand on the railway track. I can see a demon angel with a cloak and a pair of angel wings. I can't help it and I say " I LOVE your wings!! " The demon lifts it's hood it's an eighteen year old, " oh thanks " She laughs. I look ahead, there is a clearing and a zombie bride wandering around, " good luck on your wedding day! " yells Lola. Dorothy and I laugh, and look ahead to see what else is ahead on our journey. Sadly around the bend was the end of our ride. Afterward's I went to lola's for a sleepover, we did apple bobbing and Lola and I got the hang of it. Dorothy didn't want to try, but Shawny was the first one to get an apple. I had a really good time!
 

Jump Jam

At College street we have a jump jam team. They just went to a championships and placed 3rd! The music the did their dance to a song called gangnam style, I'm sure you've heard of it! I got to watch!The Dance was AWESOME!

Happy Father's Day!

At school, we had to choose a text type to write something to our Dad. I choose a description, where you have to describe someone or something. Here is mine....


Dear Dad

You are super kind and fun, you always let me do awesome things, but always make sure it is safe first. Sometimes, when it snowed in Dunedin, you would always let me go down to the park and build giant, Puffy snowmen with my friends. ( with the help of you).

Whenever you get angry at me and I storm off to my room, you always make sure I’m OK afterwards.  You always make me laugh after I have a hissy fit.

You cook dinner some nights when mum is super tired, and you always do DIY stuff at home ( which turns out cheaper and cooler then bought stuff ).  You are super patient but you like to get stuff done.

You always come and watch my football games ( in the car, most of the time ) you are also very supportive when I play sport.  You are always HILARIOUS, everyone loved you last year at camp, or at least, Willow and I did.

You supported Caity and I when we moved to Christchurch, and put focus on us. You made the journey of moving a BLAST, and super fun for the WHOLE family, including Mum. You are AWESOME.

Who Could Ask For A Better Dad Than You?
Love, Sarah

My Olympic Country

At School my class Is celebrating the Olympics, we all had to choose a country to research about, I chooseIreland.

Ireland is a country located in Europe with the total of 4.63 million living in it. Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction is Trinity College in Dublin. Other Irish cities of note include Cork, Limerick and Galway.

Saint Patrick's Day is Ireland’s official national holiday, The 17th of March holiday is celebrated in Ireland and also embraced by many other countries around the world.

Did you know the world famous Guinness beer is from Ireland? It originated in the Dublin brewery of Arthur Guinness.  In 2002 Ireland was the first country in the world to have an environmental tax for plastic shopping bags and in 2004 it was the first to introduce a public smoking ban. Ireland has 74 athletes competing in the 2016 Olympics this year.

In Northern Ireland, you will find some of the most spectacular beaches in Europe. The naturally stunning formations of the coastline provide long stretches of golden sand and impressive sand dunes.

Ireland’s environment is beautiful and green, but there are some bad sides about it. Ireland is next to the United States which has air pollution that can float over to Ireland. Ireland also has water pollution, but that is caused by the people of Ireland.  The main Environmental issues is Water pollution and Air pollution.

I hope Ireland can find a resolution to these Environmental issues! By Sarah :)
