Triathlon Reflection

👟Triathlon Reflection👣

I felt nervous and wanted to go toilet before the competitions started. The race before us was the competitive yr 5 boys and It looked like they were out of breath most of them were jogging or even walking. The hardest part was the swimming because I was out of breath at that stage and whenever I took a breath I took several breaths instead of one. The easiest part was biking because it was the first one to be done and the biking was probably the easiest to me. I think I did alright even though I came 11th out of 15 people in total. I still tried my very best though. I would of liked to improve on my running because I didn't do as well as I thought. My suggestions for the teachers would be to do swim, bike, run instead of bike, swim, run.    

why school should starts so early and ends so early.

why school should start so early and ends so early.

You can play & have sleepiness before going to school.

Why can't school start at 9:35 and end at 3:00. That's exactly 5 hours 25 mins.

You can have a big breakfast ready for a big day. You also wouldn't need to drink up & go.

You could do your homework before school instead of after school because maybe your favorite program is on in the afternoon.

You  could have a quick brain food/morning tea before going to school.

You could have sleepovers the following night.

You could stay up longer at night which means party's.

You could take your time in the morning.

You could do your food shopping in the morning instead of in the afternoon.

       

Lots of families and people have pets But I think cats are the best pets. They are fun to play with. There equipment is very cheap also they are easy to look after too. Read this to find out about cats, and in no time you'll be sprinting off to your nearest pet shop today!  

Fun

Firstly Cats are cute & cuddly and usually like cuddles, unlike a goldfish.

Cats also keep you company when you are lonely, they also keep you entertained at times too. For an example my cat magic can roll over when he’s hot.

Cheap

Secondly cats don’t cost a lot of money, in fact cats are very cheap

they just need food and waters absolutely free. They don't exactly need a cat mat or a basket that's optional. Unlike a dog that needs a kennel and sometimes a mat.

Easy to look after

Lastly cats are easy to look after because they are very quiet and

not to noisy unlike a dog that can bark. So you can sit back and relax. Also you don't have to take them for walks. There definitely not lazy too.

Most people think cats are pests. But they are actually not pests they are fun playful enjoyable animals

so cats aren't really pests they are wonderful loving creatures.

           

Conclusion                         

                              

 Cats are fun cheap easy to look after cute and cuddly.

How giraffe got her spots and her long neck

How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.

 By Tessa
How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.


Many many years ago giraffes didn't have spots and they didn’t have long necks infact they just looked like a yellow sun bleached horse.

One sparkly night the giraffe named Jewel couldn't sleep so she put on her warmest, fluffiest, spotted onesie, that always made her go to sleep. But later that night she felt something funny in her onesie and it was stuck to her so she pulled and stretched. Infact she stretched so much that her neck became longer, longer and longer. It had stretched so much that it was twice the size of its body. But the onesie wouldn't come off so she sat on her bed and cried.

While she was crying something magical happened, Stumble the sleeping god had just woken up from a deep sleep and watched Jewel cry. This is when he decided he had had enough so he flew down and said, “Abra Cadabra, make the onesie come off in a tick. “ There was a clatter and a bang and with that the onesie dissolved. The giraffe stopped crying but the spots from the onesie were still stained on Jewel’s skin.

 So that is how giraffes got their spots and their long neck.
So when you see a giraffe in the zoo with spots and a long neck you know what really happened.

Assembly item rm 20

  We did our class Production today and it went really well.
 When we got to class we all put on our costumes ready to go.
 I wore 1/ lab coat 1/ pair of glasses and 1/ wig, I really looked like a funky mad scientist.
I felt so nervous, I felt so scared  while I was on stage because I hadn't been on a stage for ages. But it was really creepy because afterwards I wanted to go on stage again.
My question was why do we have day and night this is what I said.
No no we have day and night because there is a humongous ball of fireflies going round and round the earth. But there was a fantail in the hall so it was a bit hard to concentrate.

 At the start we had a few problems with the microphone that made really nervous. Erin firstly said her part then me and next Shannon.

 But it was a bit bizarre because the lady who was videoing us didn't video all of it because when I put my hands up to show that I won that round she didn't video that part any way we don't have to be fussy.

 And then all of us came out the other end which lead to backstage again and all 3 of us gave our lab coats to someone who needed them to walk on stage with and then waited till it was there turn. Then we all carried on with the rest of the day like a normal school assembly.

Beach poetry

         

  I see  salty water floating through the waves                                                     

                                                  I can smell sandcastles and BBQ'S burning hot sausages and

                                                 meatballs

                                                 I hear people laughing as they rinse off

                                                 

                                                I feel wet sand crunching between my feet

                                               I taste ice cream rushing down my throat

                                               I think of a nice summer vacation.

In the holidays

In the holidays.  

My teeth crunched into the chocolate flake and it melted in my mouth.
Mum bit the big  juicy strawberry on top of a huge mountain of berry smoothie my brother licked a huge chunk of sherbet off his drippy ice cream. I sucked the milk chocolate chip off my dinky duck melting ice cream  and we both had a big flake chocolate smoothie with one straw and one spoon. The spoon was a big help to get all the flake out.

 Mum paid for everyone's sweet ice cream, and goodies. After that Mum Jamie and I were looking for a place to sit. Everyone had taken the best spots to sit so mum thought of a good plan then told us.  
  After that we had to buy sushi to have a seat at the sushi place. You have to buy sushi to sit there, then we watched the man make the sushi we had ordered the flavors were chicken and salmon So after all it was a yum lunch any way.

Flax-rock

                                                                           Flax-rock

I rushed up to dad holding my hands on the wall. I was first up doing the dark tunnel one!  
 he said you can get started now. I started climbing than I looked down it didn't feel like I had done much. but when it came to looking down it wasn't much fun.
 Because I am very scared of heights.  when I came up a bit more I saw a tunnel that went in the wall but I didn't get up to that bit. there was no way I could. But I really wanted to.
 any way so I came down and dropped what one should I do next I thought to myself.
 dad got to hot in the tunnel one so he swooped over with the other helper. and said what one do you want to do next Tessa. there was heaps of walls to do it on so I had lots of choices. I Said the hard one over there dad. so he buckled me up and got ready to go. I said to dad are you ready, he said go for gold. so I started climbing it was much easier than the other one. I asked for help a bit but not much I had got to the top in the end and I didn't try my hardest. so at least I did one full one. than I heard Mr Ford say 1 more minute guys. so I sat down thinking about what I was going to do today after rock climbing. than It was time to leave so I said goodbye and got in the car to drive back to school. than me and dad set off.

It's not easy being a lemon

It’s not easy being a lemon   

getting pushed around by the wind on the trees.

Little kids pulling me and my friends off The family tree.

People pulling faces at me when they drink my juice (I mean I could make some nice lemonade).

Leaving me in the fruit bowl for a week or so which makes my skin get old and wrinkly..

Throwing me out-side where I get hurt and bruised.

Getting left in the fridge for days and days.

Big kids rolling me down the slide throwing me in the sandpit where they build holes and chuck me in there forgetting I’m in there and losing me. I lie down in the sun Where my skin gets yuk sore and burnt.

It’s not easy being a lemon.

Look after your ears

Our class spoke to a lady who helped us learn more about ears.

The Hideous creature

The hideous Creature.   

I was running up and down the beach making sand castles. I was about to put my last shell on the sand castle. Man that was tiring I thought I would have a little swim before we go. I was about to put a foot into the sea when I saw the scariest smelliest thing I had ever seen. I snuck up slowly hiding behind a big rock to get a better look..

The hideous creature Sat on the top of a seaweed covered rock. It’s body was shaped like a seahorse and a mammal. The hideous creature had very big black eyes, and suddenly it winked at me. The creature had big fangs like a tiger and the rest just looks like horse teeth. It’s body looked much like leather. The thing Had a terrible looking fin which looked like one of the tiger fangs.  The hideous creature looked like a monster.    

 

I wonder if it swims properly with those tiny fins. It probably keeps it’s mouth open all the time. I am sure that hideous creature stays on the seaweed covered rock most days.                             

WARNING if you ever go to waimarama beach again  most likely you will see the hideous creature. If you see it then please stay away from it. It’s dangerous!
