Aussie Rules

On Tuesday afternoon Room 5 and 6 went out to the fields to learn a sport called ‘Aussie Rules.”

It was a new kiwi sport for me. I learnt how to kick the rugby shaped ball and also catch it. We played fun warm up games.

We all got into three groups and when the instructor blew the whistle we had to make a shape that they call out. My favourite shape was making a tower. It was hard but fun.

After our warm up games we got into our serious mode to play ‘Aussie Rules.’ I was in the “Tigers” and we played against the “Lions.” It was a long and hard game but at the end we lost.

Aussie Rules is an awesome game and I enjoyed it a lot. I hope we can play this more often.

Rainbows End!

On Monday I went to “Rainbows End.” There was a little bit of rain but it didn’t stop me from being excited.
I went to the `Roller Coaster.’ There was food and water and heaps of rides. I went on the “Fear Fall” and it was fun. Leigh and I went on the “Log” and my mum and Leigh played golf. I played on the games.
I went to the “Golden Rush”. After it finished, I went to the Fear Fall” five times. A lady asked me “Are you going again?” I said “yes.” It was funny when she was laughing. She made me laugh when I got on the ride. When everything closed, mum and I and Leigh went home.

MARAETAI BEACH DAY
On a beautiful summer morning we went to Maraetai beach. When we got to Maraetai, my family was at the other side of the road. We went there to join my cousins. We were on top of the bridge and it was scary. They screamed and it was loud.
Soon it was time to eat. I went and changed out my wet clothes into my dry clothes. When we were finished, I went to the beach again.
Then it was time to go home. I dived down and it was my best day ever in my life

Day is flying, getting some honey
Day is flying across our house.
Softly softly
Softly in their air.
Yellow and gold colours.
In the house
Yellow and gold.

Baseball Tournament
It was a hot sunny day. All the teachers took their classes to play baseball outside on the field. We lined up in our six groups so it could be equal. All the classes had to sit down to watch group one and group three play each other. After that group four and group five walked over to the other side of the field. I was very very hot and tired. My brother batted after Simeone. Then the bell rang and we had to go to where the other children were. After the bell rang we had to play the final game. In the last innings we won just by one home run. It was very exciting. Our grand prize for winning was lollipops and chocolate

OUR SWIMMING POOLS VISIT
In the weekend, I went to my cousin’s house with my other cousin. We slept there for the night. In the morning we woke up so we could get ready to go to the swimming pools. My auntie picked up Salome, her children and I to go have a swim at the pools. When we had finished, my cousin went to change and Salome and I were still swimming. Auntie said that when my cousins come out of the changing room, Salome and I must change. When we had finished swimming we went home and Salome had a shower at home. After that we took turns on the computer and then we had K.F.C for dinner.

My Favourite Place


My family and I were having a great time on holiday. When I heard my aunties
shout, “ Time to go to Rotorua! “ Soon everybody was in the cars and on our way.

I went with my auntie Heather from Australia but everyone else went in their own cars, I think.
When we got there we had to wait a very long time, because my mum went shopping. A while later we signed in and that took about half an hour, for all of us
A few minutes after we signed in, we jumped onto the white square gondola and up, up and up we went. When we were walking to the little carts, called luges we saw a huge sky swing. My uncle nearly went on it, but my cousin Kaha didn’t let him, so off we went.
Soon we put our safety helmets on and off we went.
First I went with my auntie Heather. She said that it was very hard to slow down. I liked going up on the open chair- lift. My cousin Sally and I waited for another adult. Later my Dad came and took me. He went really fast. My favourite part was coming up on the chair- lift. I felt happy and I had real fun.
