Playing Cricket

Yes I always wanted to learn how to play cricket with a pro cricket player. The people we will be training with are Hammit,Robert and Chris from the Auckland Cricket team.The one thing I wondered though was if I would be good at it.

We were all siting down listening attentively to Hammit as he was telling us how to do the front foot shot. The first instruction was that we had to get into groups of four, and go to the where the wickets.After we did that we had to hit the tennis ball in the middle of the 2 cones. I manged to hit the ball a little a meter a away from where I hit it,but I didn’t manage to hit it between the cones.

After we learn the front foot drive we manged to play a little game of cricket when you had to hit the ball and touch as much wickets as you can.As we got on the last player of the team it started to become a close score but they just passed out score. It a fun game.The score was very close.I had a lot of fun.

My Dad's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I said to him.” Thank you” he replied.It was an ordinary day because I still had to go to school,but I knew we were going to have a surprise for him after school.One out anyway he could relax.

After school we ended up having a special dinner. After a little while we were ready to have desert.For desert we were lucky because we got to have some chocolate mud cake.

The dinner was nice but I think one of the best thing was seeing my Dads smile.

The Christchurch Earthquake

http://www.3news.co.nz/Home/tabid/1125/articleID/199311/Default.aspx#41


The 22nd of February was a devastating day,for the people in Christchurch.As an earthquake had struck once again destroying everything in it’s path.It was was one of New Zealand’s Darkest Day’s.

As it was a devastating sight for almost every one, as building’s collapsed with people trapped under falling rubble and derbies.It was a sense of devastation and chaos.Some building’s collapsed right to the ground and some got destroyed in places.

People were traumatic,frighted and also worried about people in there family's if they were still alive.Some people that got rescued were badly injured. It was heart breaking to see all of the people badly injured.

The Seed

We read a story called the Seed.It was about 2 cockroach groups called the Chafes and the scarabs.One day a seed dropped right in the middle of there territory. They both tried pulling it to there side at the same time but none of them manged to pull it over there side. So the captions of each team dicied to have a war just of the seed. It took years just to get ready making armor and prepping our weapons.But as they got in there places for battle they found out that they seed wasn't a seed any more it is now a tree growing plums.The branches were going on each sides so they could share the plums.
The End

Our New Netbooks

With our new netbooks, we can use them at any time and at any place, as long as we are in G.I other wise, we won’t be able to connect to the Internet.It is also good to have a netbook so in the future when we need it we can use it.

First I carefully unboxed my brand spanking new netbook,as well as the charger.We also had to sign an agreement,to say that we will look after our netbook.Before we could do anything on our new netbooks,we had to set up our new login.

It was frustrating when the the Internet disconnected, because we had to go back to writing on paper with pencil.Some of the things on our netbook were confusing.It was also overwhelming that we can do anything on our netbook.

My Holiday HIghlight(Going To The Pacfic Island Study)

“Mum when are we going to go to the fun day for the Pacific Island Study” I yelled.”We are going to go now so you can go in the car”replied my mum.

Finally we were all in the car and ready to go.As soon as we arrived I could see bouncy castles,people shooting hoops and also people relaxing under the tree.There was alot of things that we could do.

First we got greeted by a lady who gave me a t-shirt that said Pacific Island Study, and asked me if, i wanted to write my name on a piece of paper and i will be in a draw.The draw was free family passes to Butterfly Creek,the movies and Rainbows End.They were going to do the draw at the end.

We were lucky because everything was free.I also got a big stick of candy floss.

While eating the big stick of candy floss a man was signing on the stage. After he sang a couple of songs, a person said that they will be playing games soon.The games were shooting in the basket ball hop, and doing some relays and having sack races.I decided to go and shoot some hoops.The rules were if we get one in we get a rubber band but if we get it in 3 or more times in we get a prize like a water bottle,jandles or a t-shirt.I ended up getting a water bottle.

Later one one man introduced us the man from laughing Samoans. He told us some jokes and he also handed out some prizes as well as having a lollie scramble.Then they handed out the
draw but unfortunately i didn’t get any thing.Now we were ready to go home.

My 2010 Refelection

This year I have enjoying being a senior. I have enjoyed being a senior because we got the opportunity to do more things and to set a good example for the juniors. The thing that I have enjoyed learning about the most was Mighty Mariners, because we got to learn about sailors,boats,ships and pirates. I would have liked to do more of art on Little Critters because I like drawing and we hardly had time to draw. I also think I could have worked harder at doing my work and trying not to get distracted.One of my best memories from the year was camp because we did things like making damper,kayaking and also playing a game called orienteering. My goal for next year is to learn more and consecrate more on my school work.
