Museum trip

Last week on Friday we went to the Auckland Museum. We went there to learn about dinosaurs. We sang songs on the way in the bus I think the driver must have got a headache. I was in Amelia’s mum’s group. Amelia is one of my friends.

My favourite part was when we got to hold and smell Triceratops coprolite, a.k.a poo in the dinosaur class but don't worry it was fossilised. I also liked the 3d Goggles, they had a movie inside them. My third favourite part was when Amelia fell of the stairs when she was counting how many warriors could fit in the waka.

After lunch we did some rolly polly’s down the hill in clean rubbish bags. I said, “i’m dizzy”. We also got to chew on some lollies for being good. We had some water before we got in the bus and had some relaxation.

I like the museum, I haven’t been there in ages. All I remember from last time was the tree house and the stuffed elephant. I really liked holding special bones that only we could hold.

Atheletics day

On Friday the whole school had athletics day on the field. Athletics day is a day when we all do activities that athletes do. Some of them are: Shot Put,Sprints,and Jumps.

Firstly we had to sprint. We had to sprint all the way down the track and walk back. The first row went up and Mr Burt said “On your marks, get set, go.” and they sprinted off. Then it was my turn I gulped a nervous gulp and then I sprinted off. Sadly I came last but I still had fun.

Secondly was the discus we had to throw the discus as far as we could. I was really far, I past the line where we could never get to. Miss Tito said that the way I threw the discus was great.

My favourite one was the High jump. I did the one when you could just have fun and not the one when I want to be the champion. I did really good and I had some fun.

I had lots of fun and got to do lots of different activities. I like athletics day. We had lots of fun and it was good exercise too.

Manaiakalani

Manaiakalani

On Wednesday the 11 of November our class went to manaiakalani. You may not know what manaiakalani is, I’ll tell you in my recount. So sit back relax and enjoy my writing.

What is Manaiakalani?

Manaiakalani is a cluster of schools that use digital devices. Some of the schools are: Pt England,Stonefields,and tamaki college. We have more schools but it’s too much.

Why do we do manaiakalani?

To celebrate each other and watch everyone's movies. We also get to see and learn some really cool things. We learn how to be Cybersmart, to care for each other and to be our self.

Conclusion

I like to go to the manaiakalani Film Festival. I have no idea what we’ll do next year. I hope we have some dramatic movies.

Athletics practise

On Wednesday the 28 team three went to athletics practise. There was some jumping, some running, and some throwing. We did some fun activities. We were preparing for athletics day. If you don’t know what athletics day is i will tell you. Athletics day is a day we do activities that involve athletics.  

Room elevens first activity was throwing. We had a gumboot, some socks with a ball in them, two tennis balls and a wooden ball. When I threw the sock it skidded across the ground. We all had to throw an object

Our second activity was also throwing, but it was a little different, we did basketball. we stood in a two lines, one with a black ball, and one with a pink ball. My first throw it rebounded but on my second throw I got some luck and I scored. Amelia threw the ball and it got stuck everyone laughed.

Our third and final activity was jumping. the sort of hard jumping and also fun jumping. It was the potato sacks. When it was my turn I fell over half way but i got up and  kept on going. When it was Julieanna's turn we cheered her on by saying “let's go Julie lets go” .


I like athletics because it is active and fun. I can’t wait till it is athletics day.
