Ultimate Athletes

Thump! As the ball landed out of the school grounds, laying on the field. Shaniah finished having her throw, It finally reached my turn. The noise of my supportive friends encouraged me a lot. I was focussed and ready I leaned over and bent down to pick the ball, I threw as far as I could.

Athletics already began, it was an annual event displayed every year at our school field. This is to find our elite athletes in each activity. Many people came dressed up in their house colours Takitemu,Te Arawa, Tainui and Mataatua.

My highlight would have to be Softball throw and Discus. The reason why was because Ms T announced that I came first in Softball throw. Another reason was that I came first and then suddenly I was knocked out by Racheal in discus. A new experienced sport we never knew how to play, was javelin, you were given a technique to follow. You had to pretend it was like a dart, slide it through your ear and aim down.

Now I can’t wait until Interzone (This Wednesday)!

Studying a new way

All the times that we presented, conferenced and shared why we want this Netbook so badly, has finally payed off. Actually fulfilling our dreams of getting our Netbooks, and now we have the opportunity to muck around with it and use it for learning for the rest of the term.

We're posting this piece of writing to share the cool experience with you. It was a exhilarating feeling for me to be able to be the first year sevens in the Tamaki cluster to use our flash Netbooks. Can't wait until next year when we actually keep them!

Fia Fia Night

Puffed out and breathing heaverly for being Mr Burt’s runners, actually distracted me from feeling nervous on the hours of darkness . Jogging going zic zac through classes checking they were organized and ready for the big event . Our Fia Fia night which means entertainment had kick off at 7pm, but it seemed like everyone was here when dropping their child at 6 o’clock.

One thing that really shocked and showed the goose bumbs in me was the amount of guest that showed up, 7 o’clock was the kick off start to our gathering. It looks as though everyone tried to get a front row seat. As we all cramped up in the hall and the breeze, our new foyer.
We quickly got settled and finally started.

After all this practise it finally lead up to this night. Sneaking around I took a peak at some of the costume. It was mostly the girl's that looked stunning. It was nice to get complements from parents and friends at the end.

Sport's Report for What's up News

As part of our rubric we had tasks to complete and this was one of them. We talked about our year seven rugby boys team playing against our very own Tamaki Intermediate. Here's some footage!

Netbooks

In MihiMihi, one of our new rooms. I'm testing out to see which laptop the kids at our school are going to have. I'm really happy to see which one of the laptops we're going to choose. We have choices of having Eee PC, MSI Wind, and Classmate. My best choice is having Eee PC. The reason why is that it has a bigger key board and it's lighter for others to carry. The operating system on the computer (Jolly Cloud) is faster and everything runs smoothly, plus the speaker is really loud which is good.

Riley's Birthday At Chipmunks

Ahh! As I yawned. Waking up early at 6am on Saturday was because it was my baby cousin [Riley’s] birthday. The birthday party was held at Chipmunks in Henderson, down the road where we played rugby against Henderson intermediate.
Kick off was at 1 o’clock.

Filled with so much excitement, I had butterfly’s tickling my stomach. Ha ha! I keep on giggling I just can’t help it, I’m to over excited. Arriving there was even more pleasant because I couldn’t wait to go on the popular slide.

Later approximately 5 past 1 everybody arrived then, that’s what usually happens at celebrations. The room was getting more crowded as more family members entered the room. Even some of the adults and parents were trying to look from outside.

Happy Birthday to you x2, we all said ‘Hooray’, when you tried to touch the flame on the candles. Hip hip, hooray x2, we all had a nice meal and all the kids rushed off to play. I straight away went on the slide and reached the top.

‘Quickly’, said my cousin we raced down the slide. Watch out! It was like a snake track too many little kids at corners trying to climb up again. Since their were too many children I went to the jungle and climbed up till I got to this slide. Wow! This slide is the bomb it goes so fast like skate boarding down a steep hill.

This was such a fun day it was really quite a turn out and it was really good to be surrounded by my family again.

My MI Test

This term when we have e-learning we go on the computers we have a opportunity to be able to take our Multiple Intelligence test to see what smart's we are. It shows that I'm mostly music smart and people smart. The smart that was low for me was picture smart. I think that I need to study at home and try my best even when I don't know the answers. I want to at least improve in an area so that I can be proud.

We had 40 questions overall to answer and then finally we got our answers back. Here is my results.
