Day Of Athletics

Yesterday, we had athletics at our school so basically we the whole school hot together and we did rotations. the little kids went in the morning and the bigger kids went in the afternoon.

Sprints
At sprints the whole school got together and we lined up in our age group. It was my turn and all I heard was a bang and I was off I tied with Tanesha a we are really competitive we tied for first and we went into the finals I got into the finals and I heard the bang again I was gone this time and I came second.

Long jump
Next I had long jump I was really good at this we had practise and I was going so far. Then we were measured I got 2m 60 and I got second.

Then we had a rest and cooled down.

Shot put
For shot put we had one shot and I did good I was coming second and then second place got taken from me by Dominique.

Long distance
I had fun doing long distance we went to the line and we ran four laps I was right behind Tanesha who was coming first every time we went around we got a dot on our hand to tell and once we got our 4th dot we stopped and I never stooped running my laps.

We had another rest.

Discus
For discus I didn't get to practise so I did bad but at least I tried that is all that counts.

High jump
The last one high jump I really liked this because we got to certain height and I was the only one that could make it so I won. I wasn't that high but I really wanted to go higher to see how high I could go.


My favourite event was high jump I had really fun but I landed on the bar a once.

Air Force

For the past few weeks I have been writing a report I picked the topic air force I really enjoyed writing about this. I have written the history and what happens know. I hope you enjoy.

Air force

Hey have you ever wondered what they did in the air force? Well I'm here to tell you. Strap in your seatbelt we are taking off to the history of the NZ air force.

For a while the NZ air force flew apart of the British Royal Flying Corps, while they joined the British Royal Flying Corps they had 24 victories. Then the government wanted to make two private training schools for men to become pilots.

In 1916 sir Henry Wigram established the Canterbury. Company at Sockburn, from Britain for pilot training.  the government for defence purposes. At the end of the war many new Zealand pilots stayed with the new Royal Air Force.

In 1920 a lady called Amelia Earhart was the first girl to fly a plane. She encouraged other lady’s to do this. Sadly she went missing July 2 1937 age 39. She made women realise that they can do what men can and that they are stronger than what other people think and this is how women were involved in the air force.

What they do know

I have talked about the history but what about what happens know. The Defence White Paper 2016 provides the foundation for New Zealand’s security now and into the future which increases instability and uncertainty. Did you know defense is the key of the New Zealand's broader security system.

Conclusion

I think that when they flew apart of the british air force and had 24 victory I really think that is impressive. If you want to learn more click here.

This is all I have for know I hoped you were interested at what I had to say. Here is a fun fact the nz air force has been going for 104 years, I really had fun sharing the history with you. Stay awesome.

Only One Child!

For term 3 I have been reading a book called among the hidden. It is about a boy who is the third child but you are only allowed two so he has to hide, then he sees a girl called Jen and she is the third child too. I have looked deeper in A law that China use to have. The rule of one child allowed I have made a DLO on why they made this rule. This is know one of my favourite books. What I think about the law, I don't like how they use to have this rule because some day I would want to start a family with a choice of how many kids I want. Comment what you think and enjoy.

Yum Cotton Candy!

For this week we watched a video called partly cloudy. We mainly had to focus on the setting and what we could see. We could be a bird or a cloud and I picked a cloud.

Take a look at the video.

The sky was pink it was like cotton candy I loved it because it was my favorite colour. It made me feel powerful.

I live over an amazing town called Violet Brough.

The people are really nice and the houses are tidy and new, the school is really good they learn so much from it they will be off to college in no time.

Hi, my name is Rose and I am a cloud, not just any old cloud I am magical I make pets, toys and babies, some smart friendly bird called Liz comes and takes them away and gives them to the people that need them.

But down below there is a grey cloud called Billy. He makes bad things like aggressive animals, crocodiles, porcupines and rams. But we still love him, his bird had barely any feathers and he smelt like fish it was disgusting. The other day he made a  storm it was pouring with rain. I couldn’t stop it but I was trying my hardest to.

Because his bird left him for me but actually he came to me for some gear, he went back and he made him really happy now he is one of us.

Fractions- Solve whole unknown problems

Today I did Fractions- Solve whole unknown problems, It was really easy but I made a mistake I was suppose to do 27 but I did 17. Next time I will check my work before I move on to the other question.

The Heart Full Piano

For this week I have been watching this video called the piano. I have gotten some ideas from the video and write my own story enjoy.
http://www.literacyshed.com/piano.html

I play this heart full and mindless song for my wife every day, It makes me want to break down in tears.

I started to play my daily song I felt like I was going to cry, as I was playing a ghost of my wife came she looked so beautiful, her hair was in a bun she was wearing a pink sweater and her brown eyes were like crystals. I wish she was still alive she kissed me on the cheek as she disappeared.

Then I was in the war it was exactly the same, I saw my best mate Dave he nodded at me that was a sign to say he's going over, he did it he got shot I took him I haled him until the memory ended.

At this point I wanted to cry, it was just too much.

being the third child

For the start of this term I have been reading a novel called Among The Hidden, I really enjoy this book so far. My W.A.L.T was to retell the most important part if the story so far. The story is about a boy named Luke who is the third child. But the rules are you are not allowed to have more than two, so he has to hide and he is not allowed to go outside. Then he sees a girl at a house when he knew two boys lived there. Take a look at my video and some pictures. Enjoy and don't be shy to comment.

Somalia

For week 4 we have looked at a video and we picked a character to be, I picked the root take a look at the video.Somalia. know take a look at my creation.

It has been about two days in this rusty old boat, I am Ethan and I am a robot, the crew on this boat takes me and my robot friends everywhere. We are their guardians. We save them, that makes us heroes. I heard yelling there was fighting in the boat we got unleashed, we haven't seen the view in ages. It was like a fairy tale. The boat was bigger than we last saw it.

Enough of the view! We have a job to do. We foot tripped them and cornered them, once we got all of the roaming around done we took care of the pirate captain. He looked outside to see that his men have been held as prisoners. They left after that and let's hope they learnt their lesson. We let free all of the crew, they thanked us. Once again we went back where we belong in the crates.

Fairy Tale Ride

This week I was writing a story about this insane guy he rides his bike in the most wild places. I got the idea from a video we watched. Take a look. The Ridge

Here is my story.

I was paddling to the ridge in a boat made of birch wood it was painted blue, the scenery was beautiful it was like a fairy tale, I stopped at a beach I grabbed my purple and black bike I had a little glimpse of the mountain I was about to ride my bike on it.

I was off! I jumped over waterfalls and rocks I thought I was going to die but I never quit I carried on. I got up to the very tip top I was higher than the clouds the view was like a dream, I was speechless. I climbed down it was even scarier than I imagined possible.

I jumped over a big gap, my heart was pounding, I made it past the rocky mountains but there was one more thing to do, I flipped over fences as I got to the end I sat down and enjoyed the view. This is the best day ever I thought to myself. I can’t believe I didn’t die. It is time to go home and tell my friends and family.
