My mum,my dad,my brother and my nephew and I went to go and have dinner.I had some hot chips,some raw fish and other stuff but I forgot.I wasn't really hungry so I didn't eat much but I ate most of it.After that I went to get some Dessert.I had ice cream,hot chocolate icing,some wall nuts and some sprinkles.I had three plates of dessert.It was very delicious.My mum brought four of these plastic cups.It had lights at the bottom.You can turn it on and off any time you want.

Nadia Comaneci

Nadia Comaneci had just finish her routine when the crowd went silent. A one flashed on the score board. It was actually a ten. The crowd started cheering.
Nadia Comaneci was born in Onesti in Romania and lived in a small apartment. She loved gymnastics. She and friend got chosen to try out for the Olympics. They won lots of medals. Three gold medals,One silver medal and one bronze medal. She score seven tens.
She trained for four hours and six days. She had strength and speed. She also had to eat the right food and watch out for her weight. She was very fit.She never complained about her routine. She was very confident.
It was very fun learning about Nadia Comaneci

Cross Country Practise

"Ow my legs are aching" I groaned. Every Monday to Friday we have Cross Country practise. It all depends on the weather.
When we leave to run I jog off then I sprint. I jog because if I sprint I will run out of energy. The senior school gets sent of by classes. When I jog people past me very fast but when I sprint I past them.
Usually I do two laps. By the time I get back I have aching legs because I've been running too fast. My heart beats very fast too.
We also have times.Our class left at 11:38 last week. I was jogging with Huia. So Huia and I had the same times. We did two laps.Our time for the 1st lap was 11:40 and 30 seconds. I sometimes sprint at the end.
My goal for Cross Country is to come 1st,2nd or 3rd place.

Term 3 Immersion Assembly

WOW Mrs Squires are you Michal Jordan .
On the first day of school we had an Immersion Assembly for our topic "We Are the CHAMPIONS".All the teachers had to dress up as our topic.This is our topic because the Beijing Olympics and our cross country is coming up.
The funniest person out of team 1 was Mrs Wild .She was funny because she was trying to talk like a man.She also had a wig on.She was Tanga-Umana.Her wig was black.
The funniest person out of team 2 was Mrs Apted.She was funny because when Mrs Glaze told Mrs Apted to do some push ups Mrs Apted did them on her knees but she wasn't really doing them.Then they had to jog around the hall.
The funniest teacher out of team 3 was Mr Nevalagi.He was funny because he had a wig on and also a mastarsh.He had a humongous stomach.I think he had pillows underneath his t-shirt.Anyway Mr Nevalagi,Mrs Walters and Mrs Mackinlay had a race.Mrs Mackinlay and Mr Nevalagi had a problem.They kept on pushing each other so Mrs Walters won.
Immersion Assembly was very funny.

Motat

As I walked through the door I saw Richard Pearse's 1st plane. It looked like junk because it had wires everywhere. I had a good look at it and he had used bicycle wheels but I thought that the plane didn't suit the bicycle wheels. It was really rusty and old. The wings were made of wood and they looked like monkey bars.
Pt England school were on a school trip at Motat on Thursday the 12th of June 2008 because we were studying Up UP and Away and it was the seniors turn to go to there. The reason why we went there was because we wanted to find out more about planes and Richard Pearse and Jean Batten.

Helicopter

The first things I heard and saw were a chukka chukka sound from the distance and a little black speck up in the sky.
When the helicopter landed in our school grounds it felt like a big tornado.The rotor was making it windier.It was like the wind was howling.I was feeling a bit cold.The helicopter made so much wind that our clothes were blowing around.Then I realised that it was a helicopter.
When the helicopter landed one of the pilots came out and spoke to us.He gave us a bit of information about the parts on the helicopter.It was a police helicopter.Under the helicopter was a little black shiny ball.It was a camera.At night when they turn it on they can see people white but the ground is black.Another thing they had was a night sun.They didn't have it with them though.The night sun was a big torch.It was as bright as 30 million candles.They also had two engines.They use them in case they break down.Then they can swap engines and fly down to ground.
When the helicopter was going it made a loud sound.It started of like a squeaking noise then a chukka chukka sound.It was so exciting.When they left the helicopter made heaps of wind.It was a bit like when they landed.I was freezing like ice.
It was so amazing when they left up in to the sky.
