Prize Giving 2011

As I nervously walked up the stairs to do our Yr 7 item I was scared because I don’t know the dance and I might look like a egg. Havea and I went to the back of the stage because we were shy. When I was dancing I looked like I was doing anything. I was copying Joe because he knew all of the dance. As i kept copying Joe I got use to the dance then I knew how to do the actions. As we all ended our Prize Giving with a song at the end and it was called we will strive to succeed.

Tennis

As I whacked the ball nice and soft it was going good but I was no match for Zane, Moses and Tanielu. With an stroll to the courts Stevie and I went because we had to go and play tennis and learn the basic moves to learn how to play proper tennis. When we got told to choose a partner I chose Stevie because we are close. Stevie and I were training partners. All we did was warming up our arms and legs so when we play a game of tennis we know what to do and how to do it.

When I got ready for a combat against Zane I knew he was really good. As I served the ball to him I was doing good at first but then i got out very fast. I had to walk at the back of the line waiting behind Stevie. I knew this was going to be fun because it was really funny at the same time. I reckon that Zane was the best in our line.

On the last second of the time I lost against Nathaniel and he beat me so he was the king then it was class time. I really enjoyed playing tennis and I hope we can go back and play tennis another time.

Holidays highlights

As I woke up I just realised that it was the first day of the holidays. It was really boring and stink because there were nothing to do at home. I had to vacuum the house and pick up all the rubbish. It was so boring because there was nothing to do except jump on the Internet or go play out side. How come i didn't go and play out side because none of the kids was my age.

When I went to go pick up Dante we went for a walk to triply and it was far for us two. It was a good walk but boring because there were nothing to talk about. While me and Dante were walking we were just throwing the ball around and passing it to each other. W were just playing at Tamaki Intermediate school.

Silly sports

Exhausted, tired, and sweaty. This is how I felt when I kept running around in circles trying not to get hit by the ball. The first activity I had to do was playing dodge ball tiggy with Mrs Lagitupu. I was in the blue group and we were an all right team. We kept rotating the teams so we all could challenge a different team.

When the siren went, we went to Miss T’s activity and it was tricky and hard. We had to have just the perfect accuracy to get it to the hoops. We all had to use the sling shot to get in them. I reckon that Helen was the closest to get it in. I had about two or three turns. Everybody was cheering for the person that was having their turn with the sling shot. When it was Stevie's turn he was the funniest because he got us ten points for hitting Nathaniel on the head.

Our next rotation was with Mr Harris. This activity was all about team work because we had to tie a string around one leg each so that our legs were joined together. Then we tried to balance a tennis ball on a spoon. Toko and I made it to the cone and when we just turned it we were struggling to the finish line. We drop the tennis ball and we had to start all over again way back to the start line. The two finalist were Moses and Casey and Tevita and his partner Stevie. Them four are challenging the other class that came first.

Mrs Nua was waiting for us. She was telling us our instruction of how to play her game. We got in to our team and it was me, Casey, Sharon Helen Mauina, Sela and Tevita. It was always out of our group and t team and Tanielu team to win, but it always end up to be Tanielu group winning at the end. We only had about three rounds until we were finish. We will all laugh and have fun and get wet. I reckon that the most trickiest game was Miss T one because it was sort of like a challenge. Who ever wins they will get to have a water fight on the bottom field with Miss T with water balloon’s.
