Cross Country

 On Wednesday, we walked to the cross country track. I was nervous, stretching before the race made me feel better. "On your marks, get set, GO!" Off I went running my hardest, coming round the first corner. Then, Jogging the uphill and sprinting the down. I had a good method going, until then came 'the dip' this is what slowed me down, that down, then up, was horrible. I sprinted all the way till my first lap was done.

At this point, I kept going and made my way to the finish. I was totally exhausted but proud. "Yes!" I said, as I gulped my water like a thirsty camel, after a 100 day trek across the Saharah desert. The rain was now spitting and it was starting to get cold. LUckily, it was time to head back to school. As I had brain break, I felt very happy finding out I came 10th.

   

Cross country training

 Panting, gasping for breath, my legs were on fire, a waterfall of sweat dripping down my face. "Me haere, me haere!" I said to myself, I pushed through the exhaustion with my first lap done. I ran down the ditch falling over half through the steep part recovering only just. The air felt heavy, almost like a truck was on my back.

I got around Koka Pip, she said "keep running", it was intense, I couldn't hear anything else except my own thoughts. Coming around Koka Rozie for the second time "home stretch" she said. I zoomed down the ditch, not falling this time.

I was coming through the bollards, I shot off like a racecar "YES! YES!YES!" I'm finally done. I fell to the ground, it felt like I had jumped in a volcano, getting harder and harder to breath. A wave of relief rolled over me I layed and waited for everyone else to finish.  

    

  

WE LOST

 We lost our rugby game because it was a grading game which means if had won we would have to face way harder teams.  But now we get to face teams at our level, and the score 55-60 so only by 1 point. Get ready for next game where facing Makaraka I think.

 I think we did really well though, we blowed over had some good tackles and even got some points so I'm stoked with it and I'm sure the rest of the team is.

Rugby!!

 Tomorrow is our first rugby game Wainui wasters Vs Saint marys.  Today we had rugby training we had a special coach come in to teach how to win the ruk.  A ruk is when someone gets tackled goes down and 5-7 people run in and push the opision off the ball.  This where I come in I run up behind rip the ball the pass it to the wingers.  But my mum forget to remind me to get my rugby stuff so I played in my shoes.  Our game is at our school which means its called a home game so we each have to bring a plate of food. 

    

Beach clean up

 On Wednesday we went to Wainui Beach consideiring our school is one road and 10 meters of sand dunes away. Rori, Momo and I were in a group for a beach clean, it sounds boaring but there is so much cool stuff to find. One group found three balloons. Our group found a little styrofoam bear he was so cute.

We found a sick river wave then we finger surfed it with some drift wood then we got told off because Raphi kept going in the water. We walked back on the road and found tons more stuff like gloves, plastic bags and even found five pie bags. Back at school the other kids where planting beetroot, celery and peas.

We sorted all the rubish turns out we had more than we thought and the teacher said we could all get a prize it was fun THE END.

THE GAME!

Our inqury focus this year is about korora/little blue penguins. Our teacher found a game for us to play we have to go through what the little blue penguins do just to get to the beach. Here is the instructions to the game if you want to play.

There is a chalk grid of as many squres as you want 1 person is the comander he/her draws threats in some squres. The threats can be oil leaks,stoats,cats and dogs and many more. Then 1 or more people play as the penguins the have to go through the threats the comander puts down. If a penguin/he or her playing, steps on a threat they are out. Thats how you play if you have any questions tell me thim in the comment section bellow.
