Memoir

Hello, at school we had to write a memoir about the most specialist moment at school. Hope you enjoy. 

Today I was excited to go on to the bus that was awaiting for the next three days of fun and tiredness. I walked on to the bus all excited. My Hub have been waiting a long to to go to the Koru games. The PALS have been doing sausage sizzle to raise up money to go to the Kour games. The Bus was a caterpillar bus, it is very big, it is the bus people travel on to far places. I was sitting next to my friend as we all were getting ready to play soccer together. They were all excited because they had never played soccer before. I was the only one in the team that had. The team I was in, was a girls team, there was two other teams that were boy team.

When we arrived to the opening of the Koru games, we sat down on a netball court with all the other schools that where there. The people that run the Koru games introduced themselves and welcomed everyone to the games. They had some people there that were athletes and one was from Australia, they all did a little speech about how they became athletes. Then they announced that the Koru games will begin. We went back on to the bus and we went to where the games where being held.

When we arrived to where we are playing we went to are field where we would be playing in an half an hour time. Our helper was a girl named Maddie, she helped us get around and find our fields to play on and do drills with us.

Our first game we were versing Cashmere. I was playing in defence and are goal keeper was Samantha. We did a good job at defence and we had a few close calls. On attack we got the ball up sometimes. The end of that game we tied nile all. We were all pretty tired and we had two more games to go for that day.

On the next day we arrived and we played well we lost all of these games then we vs Cashmere again and we still tied nil all but they were really close to getting a goal. It was getting hotter each day and we all were getting really tired.

Then on the last day of the games, we came close to winning some of our games.

But then we had to vs Cashmere for the third time to get ninth place, we all played hard and our goalkeeper was Roza and she did some good saves and was brilliant.

No one could score so it went down to penalties. I did rock paper scissors with there captain I won so we decided to take the first shot. I was up first, I was nervous that I would miss. I took my chances and I swung my foot, I thought I had missed, but the goalkeeper failed to save it. Then it was Cashmere they shot but Roza deflected it.

Cashmere couldn’t score against our goalkeeper, Roza.

Later on it was two goals to us and they had none. So if Samantha scores we win the game. Samantha shot and it almost hit the top post and went in. We were all happy that we had won our first game and our last.

Those three day at Koru games was a lot of fun I hope my school can do it again.

Music at school

For part of this term my hub have been doing music. The first thing that I did in music was playing the ukulele, we had to go in to a group of two and practise together. Then we put all the keys we lent in to a song.

On the second week we did rad rhythm. Rad rhythm  is when you have trash cans and drumstick and use the trash cans as drums and you watch a video and tell you what you can do, you practise with the whole class and you can do cool rhythms.

For the last one we did body percussion. First of we did clapping in rhythm, then we went in to groups of four and made and a rhythm and show it to the whole class, in my group, one person was clapping with there hands and the rest of us where on are ankles.

I really enjoyed doing all of these different type of music.

What is your favourite music ? 

The thing I'm most proud of.

There are a couple of things that I am proud of that I did in St Francis of Assisi.

This year I am proud of coming third in cross country and for the zones in that coming 11th in that. 

But the thing I am most proud of is. When it was term one, we had to write a recount of an event that has happened in New Zealand, I did mine on the Mt Tarawera eruption and that happened in 1886.
In my Recount I had a boy that was named Kauri and his mother told him not to go the the school, but he was bold when he heard a cry from the school.

In my recount when Mt Tarawera erupts, his family try to evacuate the village before the lava flows and hits the village, but his family never returned to him.

All of my class did a recount to, we did it for PBL.

What is your most proudest moment ?

Zones for Athletics

After Athletics it was about a week later that the Zones were for it. I got into Long Distance. The Zones was held at Rawhiti park, where my school did Athletics. It was really hot and it was supposed to reach 24 degrees.

Like it was my school did it the same way. Boys where doing field first and girls where doing track, which was good because it wasn't so hot in the morning as it would be in the afternoon. I had to wait a while to my race was up. So I went under some trees with my friend, but I was also watching some of the other races.

When my race was coming up I was nervous. I was only versing five other girls.
When we lined and the clapper went off, I ran telling myself not to go to fast. I was fine to the last lap I started to fell really tried, Claudia was right behind me, and I was a bout 10 m away from the finish line, so I sprinted as hard as I could, and I got fourth place, which means that I am a reserve for place one and two.

I had no more events to do so I went back to school van.

Have you ever been to zones ?

What is your favourite thing to do ?

Athletics

This term at school we have been practising for Athletics. But we finely had it at Rawhiti park. 

When we arrived to Rawhiti park, it was spitting, they told every one where to go, the boys where doing the field events first and the girls where doing the track event's like, Sprints and Long Distance. 

First of we had was Sprint's, which I got forth in 100m sprint, then it was on to Long Distance. 

We had to run three laps around the track, we all lined up ready to go, waiting for the sound of the clap. Off we went, I wasn't going to sprint at the start because I wanted to save my energy for the end. I moved in closer to the inside of the track, so I would have to run less of a distance, so far that I could tell is that I was coming fifth place, soon some of the front girls where getting tired, so i went in front of some of them. Near the end of the last lap, I tried to spring as fast as I could but, I had no energy left. I crossed the finish line in second place. I was pretty proud of my self. 

On the field events I didn't do as good, in shotput and discuss. One of my favourite field events are long jump, I came fourth in that two witch is good. Near the end of the day it started to pour down with rain, witch was lucky considering that we where done. We waited in shelter, till the bus arrived. 

What do you like doing in Athletics ?

RE

In this term in RE we have been reading of the bible and it was based on Mary's life and we had to answer some questions, about what we had read. Then we had to do a dairy entry on Mary, to chose what reading to do it on. I did mine on the birth of Jesus.

We also watched a video, about Saint hood and we got a sheet, to write all the tittles before they become a saint.

Now we are doing a slide of some one that is inspiring. My group is doing it on Mother Teresa, because she helped all the sick children and the poor.

Do you know about Mother Teresa.

Here's the slideshow I did
