Netball Recount

Hooray it’s time for Room 10 to go out for netball skills. I am really absolutely nervous because when Gina our netball tutor calls out my number and other students numbers I never get a chance to hold the ball. Gina taught us skills like shooting, pass, catching,stepping and shooter driving. The main skill I really need to practice is shooting the ball into the hoop to get a score for my group. We all were split into the same groups called Bulldogs and Outlaws. After that we all had to participate in the challenge. For the challenge we had to work together to make sure that we would win. Then Gina blew her noisy whistle to tell us to start the game. When Bulldogs got their first goal we were all screaming, shouting,yahooing and cheering at  each other that was in the group. Bulldogs got 10 points when Outlaws received 5 points. Eventually Bulldogs and Outlaws shook each other’s hand. The favourite part I enjoyed was when I practiced how to do half cut steps.

Bike Safety

Bike safety

Hooray! Room 10 are having bike skills.

I am absolutely excited because I love riding bikes.

At first I never knew how to ride a bike, but now I do. I have learnt many skills from a person named J.S. He came from an enormous company called Big foot.

He taught me how to check my bike before I go riding. He said to room 10 that we should check 4 main things on our bike. I found it interesting to learn heaps of facts. We had to check the brakes, wheels,bolts and reflectors on our bikes so that we are safe to ride.

Then he spoke to us about wearing visible clothes that looks bright coloured so we can be seen by people on the road and be safe. J.S. also spoke to us about reflective gear and safety equipment.

Eventually it was time for J.S. to show us some quick tips about wearing a helmet when we ride a bike. We were allowed to put the helmets on that he gave us.

I needed to remember to make sure that the helmet fits properly on our head and also that the strap looks like a letter y. Finally he helped some students with their helmet. After that we were allowed to go for a ride on the school court. Then I didn't want to participate.

So then I said thanks for the advice I really appreciate your help.

Finally we shook hands with the other team and said well done. That was a very competitive game. I loved and enjoyed it as there was no cheating.

Mother's Day Reflection

For Mother's Day I stayed home and cleaned the house up with my brother and sister. Then we made a card for mum. After that dad made all of us breakfast.

The whole crew was woken up by the loud storm. Pirate Mark’s beard was as long as a giraffe's neck. In the crew there are three other pirates, their names are Campbell, Robert and Collier. They’re all brother’s to Mark. When they got woken up by the loud noise Collier fell of his bed same as Mark. The storm was as loud as a enormous crowd of teenages screaming for Nicki Minaj.

The Easter Story

The Easter Story

Easter Sunday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian celebration. The date of Easter Sunday changes every year, and that changes the date of all the important holy days that come before Easter. It falls between late March and late May. Easter is so important because Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead, two days after he died on the cross. Jesus’ dead body was buried in a cave on Good Friday and two days later the stone that covered the cave’s entrance had been moved and Jesus’ body had gone. Various people saw Jesus in the following days and his followers understood God had raised him from the dead. Historians say this happened sometime between 26 and 36 AD.

People celebrate Easter in many ways around the world. It is a very busy time for churches. Many Christians light a special Pascal candle on the evening before Easter. This represents the rising of Christ. There are special songs and hymns which people sing in church. Children like Easter because their parents and grandparents give them chocolate Easter eggs, a sign of new birth. Schoolchildren usually decorate eggs and display them in their school or give them as gifts. Other things associated with Easter are the Easter Bunny and spring flowers like irises. An unusual Easter tradition in Norway is to solve murder mysteries at Easter. Television channels show murder mystery shows.

Holiday Recount

The most enjoyable part of my holiday was when my cousins came up to Auckland. They came from a beautiful place called Oamaru. Their names are Byron, Jordan and Kaia. When all of them first came up Nana Catherine went to the national airport. Then they went to Waiheke for a few days then caught the ferry back to town. After that Nana Rebecca, Uncle Shane, Aunty Kiri and I went with Aunty Chanel to the ferry station to wait for them to arrive. Finally they arrived on the ferry. When I saw my cousins I ran to them and started crying because we haven’t seen them ever since last year. Eventually we went to McDonald. We had a big feed like an enormous festival. Then we went home to have a welcome home party it was fun. My cousins and I stayed until early hours in the morning. We keeped on talking all morning.

She said that whenever shes talking to us and we have ball in our hand we’re only allowed to hold on to it. Finally we all participated in the most enjoyable activity ever.
