Explain Ready

This Term we got given a task which had to be completed by a certain time. We all got given a word which we had to explain what it meant and show some examples of what they are. My word was Antennae. Here is a little movie made by me which shows what Antennae means.

Hope you enjoy!

Fia fia night

I could hear the sound of people from the audience cheering for the first group on, which was the senior Kapa Haka group. “Yay!” It was finally Fia fia night.

I was in the waiting room with the rest of my group getting changed. I was very excited. When we were all ready we had to wait until it was our turn on stage. Listening to the crowd made me nervous. I was in the tectonik group. We were all waiting back stage while the Samoan group was making their way off stage. I had butterflies in my stomach as Mr Burt announced that it was the tectonik group’s turn. But when I walked on stage I felt alright.

Hearing everyone cheer was awesome. But at the end of the night after everyone had left it was silent. Fia fia night was over and it was a success.

Athletics Day

Red, Yellow, Green and blue were the four main colours worn by students. Te Arawa, Takitimu, Mataatua and tainui are the names of the house colours. “It’s finally athletics day”, I said to myself.

As I walked in the 12 year old line I was nervous. The first sport we played was the softball throw. I picked up the ball and threw my hardest, it did go far but not as far as Helen’s throw. She came first in the softball throw for the 12 year old year 7 girls.

There were heaps of sports to play such as discus, shot put, high jump, softball throw and a few more. But there was one that was new to us. To me Javelin was hard. I didn’t know how to flick the javelin. When I threw the javelin it wasn’t a good throw.

This year is the first time in Pt England school to have year 7 athletics. To us it felt normal. We just had to be with the year 6 girls in three groups. At the end of all the sports the people that were the final runners raced. It was cool seeing their facials. After they finished, the fast runners for each house ran in the relays. Takitimu came first and Tainui came second.

The relays had finished and Mr Burt told everyone to sit in the middle of the field. After he said a little, he dismissed each class one by one. At the end of the day everyone was tired and exhausted. of the house colours. “It’s finally athletics day”, I said to myself.

Our Cool experience

This Is it! The day had finally come, right now we have the opportunity to work with our netbooks for the rest of the term. It makes me feel smart and organized. It's a really exhilerating feeling to be the first year seven's in the Tamaki cluster to use it.
