Athletics day

At school we have been practising athletics, on every Thursday. Finely the big day has arrived, for the school to see who will go to zones.


Arriving to school was kind of scary, everyone was in sports gear, the wind was gusty, and it was like icicles were touching my face as I breathed in the cold air, goosebumps were, all over my legs. I rushed in to my class room to keep warm. Soon after, we lined up out side, ready to, do Athletics. Boys left and were doing The field events and the girls had to do Track. The younger girls got to do sprints first. Finely the eleven year old got to do sprints. I lined up in the first line of sprints, Butterflies in my tummy, and my heart, was racing, The cold wind disappeared. " On your marks....Get set.....Go". I was off running as fast as I could on the wet grass. It was over, the cold collapsed around me, and I got sent to sit down. Soon the sprints were over, then we moved on to Long distance. It was oldest to youngest. But at lest I was not waiting for that long. All the girls in my age lined up, ready to go. We had to jog  up to the cones, And then we were of. We had to do three laps around the back field. I was coming fourth place, then on the second lap I came second then third. On the last lap I came fourth. they gave me a card and I said my name, and sat down, and watched the others, race. Soon it was lunch time, we had a break for half an hour, then it was our turn, to do Field. The girls went in to there age group. My age group is eleven, up first we had discus. I wasn't every good at it but, I got high score then every time it was my turn I got high.

Then when discus was over we went to a tent to have a little rest, then we went on to long jump.              ( Long jump is my favourite sport ) We lined in our last name, in order, I was maybe  8 or 7. When we were running for long jump we had to take off our hats. When it was my turn I ran as fast as I could, I had to jump on the orange of the mat, No thither, than that other, wise it would be no jump. I jumped and a slid in the sand. We had three turns at it, I came third.

 High Jump. We lined up on our sides, I was on the left, and a lot of people were on the right. Soon it was my turn, and I didn't make it over then the second time I made it. Three other kids made it as well, The pole went high, I got nevus, I ran I jumped and I smacked in to the pole, my side hurt, then it was my second jump, I ran I jumped, and I scummed the pole and it fell down. I was out. Two other girls got out as well, so I came Second= .

last but not least Shot put. I was the fifth girl to go, I steeped up to the circle. One tow three. I had thrown it as far as I could. I was tied with number ten. Then my second throw. I took the ball in my hand it was very heavy, I through it again and it got therther than be for. I came round about second to last but better than last year.

I got to zones for long distanced, I think I came around about eleven, out of fifteen girls.   

Team building challenges.

At the first week back at school we did team building. To help us to work together as a team. There are all different tasks, that we do in that week.

The first task, we were given to do was to make a stretcher to hold five big books and to balance a cup of water on top. The things we had to make the stretcher, out of was, two full pieces of newspaper, and  one metre of tape. I was put in a group of five people, we made the stretcher have a stet base and then we made some handles and, add a few more bits and pieces. Then when the moment came for the test, WE DID IT. So that was the first task for that day. 

The second day we had to make a paper chain as long as we could. Our supplies were one big piece of paper and one metre of tape, and in a group of five. I was doing cutting the paper up in to strips. Then before I knew it there was only tow mints left, so my team had to quickly do it but wen we were lining them up ours broke in half sow we quickly put it together, and we came second or third. 

The third day, the group had to do cup stacking with using a rubber band tied to string, so we had to yous it to grab the cups. Then we had to stack the in like a tower. Then we were the last ones to do it, then we had to stack the cup normally, and when we had finished, we shouted it out so loud then every one stared to laugh, at us because we were last.

The fourth day the last day for the task, and this task was, we had to make a tower of  marshmallow for the base of pasta sticks. That's what we had to make it out of. We made a good base then we found it hared to build it up. Wen time was ruining out of time we put a small piece of pastier sticks on the top.  Then it fell but wen the teachers measured it. We came third.

So that was haw the first week went. I hope you in joyed it. 

Joanna's writing piece

Unstoppable The Prime Minister

The day I wanted to be Prime Minister was a bust. I just got one One! One! vote for me and that was my Mum. Why I didn’t get one from my Dad was because he had died a year ago. Now the so called Mr Ped What. Has the job, and now he is making these silly rules, like cut down the trees and no pets because I’m allergic to them. Give me all your money and much more I don't want to mention. But I’m a rule breaker a have a dog a cat and a lot more pets than you can imagine, I have a pot plant tree and $300 money. This is what I think of the new Prime Minister. UNSTOPPABLE !


I hope you enjoyed my writing, I hope you like to write.

My Treasure

In PBL we have had to figure  ut what our family treasure is and find out on it like who had it first, how old it is and how it is special.

          My Family treasure

My Family treasure Is an old bear and a money box and a chair all together. It comes from my Dad's Mum side. The teddy bear is from my great great grandparents and also the money box. The teddy bear is about 90 years old! And the money box is about 100 Year's old. The chair  is my Nana's when she was little. And now she has the money box and the teddy bear and her chair. She probably won't hand it down for awhile because my cousins were throwing the teddy bear around and then it got rips in its leg and then she had to sew it up.

Here is my family treasure.

Do you have a family treasure?
