Quote

My quote is something that makes me smile whenever I say it out loud, I think this quote has lots of good messages in it. The quote that I like is from a movie I watched about a year ago with my siblings, I can’t remember what it’s called but it ended the movie really well. The quote that I have chosen is……..

You don’t have to be the best,

You just have to do your best!

…...I think It would change the world if everyone did what this quote says, I think many people need to realize that it’s not all about themselves. This quote clearly says that you just need try do the very best you can do, it's not about being the best or the top person in the world, it’s about being you and showing that it’s OK to lose in a fun game of handball. It’s OK!

I believe that one day, one day the whole world will finally realize that the world can be a happy place if everyone worked together to make it work.  

I think this is one of my favourite quotes!

Idrive Recount

I have enjoyed…….. Joining with the Whenua kids has been really cool, it makes things more interesting and now we can learn what half the school likes to do. I think joining with them was a fantastic thing to do! I think it's fun doing/learning new things.  

I would change……. I would change one thing, that would be being here on the 18th (last Friday.) I was doing something that I had been wanting to do for a long, long time. I had missed out on the second week of Photography, I think taking action shots of things like dripping water from a tap is cool.

One challenging thing……. I don’t know, the only thing I could think of is trying to find the teachers to ask for something to do with the session I’m in. For example, when I was in dance we could not find any of the teachers to ask if we could practise in the hall before we perform.

Idea for Idrive activity……. I think I would add a detective, discovery sort of group experience. The group would be about finding something interesting around the world, look at what sort of things go missing the most in the world? How would you solve it? What would you do to stop this thing from going missing so often, be a detective and find out!

Cross Country

Cross Country recount

It was our Ngatea school Cross Country day T3 W6 on a Tuesday.

On our school Cross Country day I had a sore foot so I did not do Cross Country.

Next year I want to achieve my personal goal of doing Cross Country, and trying my best in it.

Last year when it was cross country I had a problem with my right foot, this year I have a problem with my left.

This meant I did not do Cross Country in two years in a row, I like doing Cross Country so when I’m older I want to be able run fast and still do lots of sports. I still did the first two weeks of training for the big day, but then I no longer could do the block run.

I was still really proud of my brother this year because he really gave it his all in going as fast as he could go, he made it into Hauraki Plains for the 8 year old boys and from there he made it into TV.

I have only made it into Hauraki Plains for Cross Country, so I felt really happy that my brother participated in TV. I told him that he had broke the family kids Cross Country record out of the three of us for going to TV.

I wish to participate in cross country next year, but for now I’m not so worried about not going the last two years.

While I wasn’t doing it, I stayed at my dad's work. I stayed in the sick bay till 10:30 then I got to sit in the doctor's room for the rest of the day, I played on my computer and finished my book from home.

I was playing on my computer at 1:30 then I heard my mum's voice, she’d come to pick me up early. She had finished work early, she said she didn’t feel too well. After all that we went to roam round the Ngatea op shop.

It was that afternoon that I found out my brother had made it to Hauraki, that was my cross country day.

Holiday Recount

Term 4 week 1

Holiday recount!

Where we went - On the last Friday of school mum picked me up 15 minutes early so we could feel like we were on holiday mode, and head to Ohope. We decided that it would be easier to stay at one friend's house for 5 days (Friday to Tuesday) instead of scrambling about from one friend's house to another.

Who we stayed with - As I explained we stayed at one friend's house for the 5 days we were in Ohope for. My good friends we stayed with was my BFF Holly Jennings, her brother Samuel and her lovely parents Mark and Gayle. Holly is my age so we play together, Samuel is Willis’s age so that’s covered and Shirley tags along with Holly and me.

What we did - Holly’s family were going to head to America a few days after we left, so that meant that they had to stay in good health. They weren’t allowed to go swimming in the ocean but we still had great fun, we strode along the sandy shore and made a sand castle island with Donald Trump's sandy shore wall around it. Me and Holly had fun feeding our baby dolls with flour and water to look like milk, it doesn’t taste like milk though. (Don’t taste it, It's disgusting!)

The end of Ohope - On the last day of our Ohope adventure we were all knackered so you can imagine what we were like spending 5 days with the same friends, cranky. That’s right, not the normal us. So it was nice sleeping the long 3 hour drive back home.

I also experienced the Luge! It was amazingly fun, I got over my fear of doing the whole thing pretty quick. The only thing with the ski lift is that it can stop, and there’s no enclosed space you just hang there.

That was a part of my holiday.
