"WOW"Look at those big waves!
It was a sunny day and some of my family and I went to Devonport. To get to Devonport you have to take a ferry in the city.
When we got to the city we went straight to where the ferries were. We showed our tickets to the guard then we went through the gate. We went through for free because we had these tickets when you pay for it on the train, and you go everywhere for free. Like ferries, buses and trains. We waited for about 10 minutes then the ferry came. Loads of people came off. When it was clear we all went on board.
As soon as I got on I went straight up stairs. The wind was blowing gently. When I looked down I saw some humongous waves. They were crashing into the boat on the outside. There were a lot of bubbles in the waves too. Luckily there was a piece of wood blocking the waves because if there wasn't, the water would be splashing up on us. It took us about 5 to 10 minutes to get to Devonport.
When we finally got there we all got off. Other people went on. We walked through the mall. I saw an ice cream store. I really wanted one but I thought no, I shouldn't have one. When we were outside we saw some horses. They were used to go on rides. You had to pay 5 dollars for one person. We walked across the road to the shops. I brought me some lollies.
My cousin said "who wants hot chips?".We all said "me!".So she said "put one dollar in then". So we did. The hot chips were delicious. We had a little play on the park, then we went back to the city. We caught the train back to G.I.
When I got home I was very exhausted. I went straight to sleep. The End

Go For Green-Train Crows
This term we are studying "Go For Green".The extension group had an VC(Video Conference) with Joshua Klein who trains crows. He is trying to tell the humans that the Crows are useful.
On Ted Talks he was talking about him and his friend having a Cocktail party. There were Crows hanging around making a mess on his friend's lawn and he was wanting to ERADICATE them because he thought they were just being pest.
Then we watched another video. He was talking about Crows. We watched some other video's. We watched a video of Crows dropping their nuts on the road to crack them. They are very smart because they know where to drop them. They dropped them on the pedestrian crossing so that when the light is red and the people cross the road they can go and get their nut.

Sports Rotation Games
"Yeah" Today the senior team had a sports rotation.There were four stations.The Trampoline,Parachute,Volley ball and King dodge.They were set out on the school court except for the trampoline.
I liked the trampoline because you can do flips on it.The High jump beam was behind the little trampoline.Rm15 B versed Rm16 A.I did a flip like a gymnastics person.Out of my team I thought Jacob was the best.Mrs Nua was the teacher who took the trampoline station.She also said that after the trampoline we could have a handstand competition.We all had a practise then we had the competition.Rm16 A won.Raven was he last one up.Jacob was the second one up.The trampoline reminded me of jumping on the trampoline at Totara Springs.
Then we went to Mr Palmer.He was the Parachute teacher.Mr Palmer tossed the coin and we got tails and we won.We chose to go under first.Rm 18 A had to be on the outside.The Parachute was big like a Elephant that was 200 pounds.The ball had to go on the top and we had to try and hit it off while we were sitting down.I think we won that game.
My best stations were the Trampoline and the Volley ball.I liked today's Sports rotation.

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.
