Term 3 highlight

This term there have been a lot of events, such as The Outlook for Someday (movie making), Tamaki Tech, Extension, RWC opening ceremony and more. So many memories made, both happy and sad times.

One of my favourite highlight is badminton. Our instructor was a lady named Lorene. Our first lesson with her was about hitting the shuttle gently. It was kind of easy but so much fun. We played a game and the class had to split up in half. That game was fun and out team won. But now we don’t do Badminton anymore, we have a new Sport that we are learning about. Badminton was enjoyable.

Another one of my highlight for term three is Tamaki tech. For this term the group that I was in went to science. Our teacher is Mr Duan. I have learnt so much about nature and others. Every week we do experiments. We have been learning about starch and what types of food have it in. I have learnt that if you get stung by a bee it is good to use lemon because the bee sting has base in it.

So overall, this term has been so much fun. Filled with excitement, entertaining and enjoyable moments. Next term is the last term for us year eights in this school. I hope that we will have as much fun as we did this term but more.

Tonga vs. Canada

He received the ball from his team mate and took off with exhilaration, zooming up with excitement. Siale Piutau was determined to get Tonga ahead of their opposing team, Canada. He streamed through a clear patch where no opponents were positioned. Out of a spectacular performance, he gradually scored. But at the end of the game, the score was 25 to Canada, and 20 to Tonga.

Using Adjectives

This week, our class have been working on improving our writing vocabulary using adjectives to give our writing more action. We have been given a few photos of the Rugby World Cup first game, All Blacks vs Tonga to write about. We just have to write one effective paragraph about three of the photos. Here are the paragraphs I have done.

The crowd cheered and applauded with excitement when Richard Kahui scored an impressive try. The raucous voices of the audience called out “Go The All Blacks”, were what spectators would shout out. The amount of people that were at the event held at the Eden Park stadium were over ten thousand.

With his muscular arms, Israel Dagg repelled his approaching opponent determined to add to the score board. It was a very tense moment but with a superb fend, Dagg came out with a spectacular try.

With their strength and commitment, the All Blacks said the Haka with pride. It was such an amazing performance by them showing their facial expression. They looked very tensed seeing their actions.
