Ballet

On the 19th of March the Senior half of the school went to the Royal NZ Opera House to watch some people do ballet. There where three dances. My favourite dance was the the last one because it had a combo of all of the dances and because there where people using tamberines. I loved all the dances but I liked the last one the best.

Swimming

This term we have been trying to improve on our swimming skills. 

I have been wanting to get better at breaststroke and Freestyle. The reason why need to get better at breaststroke is because I still move my legs at the wrong time. I need to get better at freestyle because I sometimes  touch the ground and don't put my head under the water.

I'm good at dolphin dive and back stroke because when we have free swim I always practise them, well most of the time. I'm also good at them because I practise them when we do relays and when Miss Candish does swimming groups.

The mud run!!!

This is my recount of the mud run at camp.

Surviving the mud run

I was racing towards a huge, big, long mud run.
As I was about to jump into the mud I stopped.
I felt nervous and scared. I didn’t know whats going
to happen. Am I going to drown in the mud? Okay I
stopped thinking about the negative stuff and started
thinking about the positive stuff. I jumped into the
sticky mud and carried on. I got to the yucky part
and all I could smell was cow poop and horse poop
all mixed together disgusting. I could hear my friend
s crying and saying I don't want to do this anymore I
want to go home. I thought I was smart and went
around the mud. Oh no! I'm stuck in the sticky, icky
mud. I dragged my feet out of the icky mud. It
worked for a bit but oh no my feet fell back into the
mud.  I could feel the sticky, icky mud in between
my toes. When I got to next stage I could see people
getting stuck in the mud. I got stuck as well. I felt
scared because I couldn't move my legs. I made my
way to Josh he grabbed my wrist and dragged me
out. I felt relieved that I finally got to the end. All I
could think of is going to sleep because my muscles
were tired.

My popplet

In He Puna Tarei we have been learning how to use popplet. I created a popplet about Cats I also used a poplet to help me plan my writing.

Penguin under attack

L.I Can I use punctuation in my writing to make it sound interesting?

PENGUINS UNDER ATTACK!!!!!!

In Antarctica on a single floating iceberg lived four penguins. There names are Bluey who is a little blue penguin that is skinny, Emp is a emperor penguin that is fat and cuddly, Frosty big and awesome is a baby emperor penguin and skinny and pocket sized, korora is a blue penguin she is a medium sized penguin.  There was a destructive cat he like to be called Cat of Doom. He always try to kills all the penguin that he sees because he wants them for his slaves. One day the Cat of Doom got so grumpy that he got out his laser gun and shot the iceberg and it fell into teeny, tiny, little pieces. The evil cat brought them all to an unknown place that only the Cat of Doom knew of. The penguins got  so scared that they nearly peed themselves. After 2 hrs  of thinking of a way to get out of the cages they finally had a way. They had just remembered that they had all the keys in the world, they just had to remember the right key to unlock the cages. 10 mins later they got the right key to unlock the cages. Once all the cages were unlocked they jumped out and and snuck out of the unknown place and tried to find their way home. When the Cat of Doom went to check the cages, the doors were unlocked and all the penguins were gone. He went to find the penguins and he did because there was a trail of fish scales. When the Cat of Doom caught up with the penguins he snuck up behind them and grabbed them but it was just a crazy little trick. The penguins had made clones out of ice. The penguins lept out from behind the Cat of Doom and captured him and put him in the cage. He was there for the rest of his life.

My Mosaic art

In He Puna Tarei we have been learning about Roman art. They made sculptures, paintings and mosaics. We created our own mosaic using pieces of coloured paper. This is my  unique roman mosaic art.
