Ode On Basketball
Basketball, basketball
you bounce up high and come down low
Playing with you was the best thing ever
but trust me really you would never suit a bow

Basketball, basketball Basketball, basketball
bouncy, and hard like the shape of a moon
like circley wheels on a bike wet, cold and muddy
and it’s harder than a card but wait wait my grandpa is coming soon

Dogs At The Beach

One day Eleanor, Danielle and their Mother Emily were all dressed up in their swimming togs ready to go to the beach. Their dogs Harry and Darcy were jumping with excitement making Eleanor and Danielle laugh.

They all hopped into the car and drove their way to the beach. While Emily was driving she asked if they wanted any ice cream and they both said “Yes” at the same time.
“I would like the chocolate flavour,” said Eleanor.
“I’ll have strawberry please,” said Danielle.
Emily brought the ice creams and finally they were on their way to the beach.
They finally got to the beach, they all jumped out of the car with excitement. Harry and Darcy ran to the water, they jumped, splashed, and barked at each other. They ran around with sticks in their mouths. When they came running up to Eleanor all she could smell was wet dogs and salty sea water all over them, it was disgusting, and while they were running towards Eleanor, Harry stopped too quickly and splashed sand all over Eleanor, she started screaming and shouting and yelling very loudly at Harry, but he starting barking himself. Eleanor didn’t care that much about it, she knew that she was here to enjoy herself at the beach, so she tidied herself up did what she was suppose to do, enjoy herself. They all enjoyed themselves, it was the best day they had ever had as a family.

The Mystery Sound

BANG! went a gunshot that woke me up with a scary face, my face was as ugly as a rhino, so I just ignored the loud noise and went to get myself some delicious hot cocoa with a side of marshmallows. While I was drinking my hot cocoa I heard another BANG! but it was even louder than the last one before so I followed the noise, as I got closer to the noise the hairs of the back of my neck stood up. I didn't know where it came from and I didn't find any clues  because the sound had disappeared and it was a mystery what that noise was. I searched the house from top to toe what ever it was, it was gone and we will never know what it was.

I learned so much from her and about her family and friends.

Our *FUN DAY* At *BASKETBALL*!

Bounce! bounce! bounce! All of the basketballs bouncing around me like CRAZY! It just made me feel like jumping up and down myself. I felt the sun on my face as the breeze cooled me off. Worried that I will fail in front of all of my classmates. It was a bit boring but at the end of the day I learnt more than I ever knew about basketball. I learnt how to do the figure of eight and how to dribble a lot better. We all enjoyed a lesson with our coach, coach Bruce and I'm looking forward to our next exciting lesson!!!

My Sports Experience

On a cold damp morning room 7 went to soccer to learn skills. Mr Wan our teacher, is from Spain.  We were surprised when he said that. We warmed up and we were getting ready to kick some butt. Room 7 was charged up ready to go. Everyone was
sent to a court to play, 3 in each team. We were warming up so we can get ready to go, go, go!!!

I was on to the game. I dribble, kick, and pass. I really try hard, I play hard, I play rough. All I wanted was the ball. I dribble, kick, pass, watching the goal getting ready to kick and SCORE! I score a spectacular goal for my team. I felt really, really happy. The other team felt really sad but we didn’t even care because we were celebrating with shouting and screaming. Nearly the whole school could hear us!
Suddenly I felt totally exhausted. I wanted a drink of water but I really wanted to score another goal. The game was on again and I played my hardest. My eyes were glued  to the goal. I watched the goal with my blood red tired eyes. I dribble, pass, kick, pass, kick and SCORE! Another breathtaking goal. Yeah my team won the game! It was the best time of my life. We all celebrated with cheering, shouting, and screaming. Mr Wan was very proud of us because we had put more effort than ever before.
YEAH!!!

I go back to class so exhausted and tired. I was very very hungry and thirsty.
Finally the bell rang. All I wanted to do was munch on my lunch and drink cold, fresh, delicious water. I felt the fresh water running down my throat like a waterfall.I  ate so much that I felt as full as a gorilla.

Me, Myself, And I

My name is Hannah and I am 10 yrs old. I am a full Samoan and my parents and older brother are too. My little sister and my two younger brothers were all born in New Zealand but  I was born in Samoa. In my family my dad was born in Savaii,Samoa. My mum was born in Upolu, Samoa. I was born in Moto’otua Hospital Apia, Samoa. When I was 3 yrs old I moved to New Zealand with my parents. My brother didn’t come with us because my grandpa refused to let him come as he would take care of him. I felt like I was going to leave my brother forever so I broke into tears.  

I  am very interested in a band called One Direction. In the future I would like to become a famous singer and even become a music teacher so I can teach students art and music.

I have always wanted to work in a vet’s so I can save animals when they are sick because

I really love animals and animals are like a family to me.

My learning goals  are moving up two levels in my Reading, Maths, and Spelling. Singing, playing piano, spelling and sports are my hobbies. I am also very interested in Christmas songs, and playing the piano.

When I leave High School I want to find a good job to help my family and save some money for my future. I am very good at spelling and writing but I would like to improve even more

in them. In Maths, I would like to have more power and strength like  I do in my Writing and Spelling.

At home I always watch channel 75 on my sky TV. There’s a show called Orangutan Island that’s my favourite show. I watch that show so I can learn more about working with

a vet and know how to get better at it.  

 

Cultural Walk

Today four people in room 7 was presenting their presentations. The rest of the class was rotating to other classes. We were showing them one student from our classes presentation. Me, Gemima, Gabriel, & Lisiate were presenting, but Lisiate was presenting Anamanu's presentation. While we were setting up for the rotation we were listening to "In The Jungle". I was a little nervous when the classes came but I managed it. The first class to come in was room 4. We told them to sit on the floor so they can see Anamanu's presentation. Lisiate started to read and the kids were listening very well. There were a lot of good facts about South Africa. Everyone was interested and asked them questions while we Lisiate was reading. When Lisiate was finally finished Miss Anderson put them in three groups, one group came to me, the other went to Gemima, and the last went to Gabriel. I was showing my group my presentation and the other two was showing theirs to their group. I took them around the classroom without touching anything. They went to the big table and they were surprised when they saw the vuvuzela. The vuvuzela is type of instrument that was made in South Africa. The bell rang for the classes to move to the next class and see what they have found out of they're culture. The next class to come was room 2. We did the same thing to all the classes over and over and over again, it was boring and fun at the same time.

Zach's Happy Day In Room 7

Zach is a Golden Retriever and he belongs to Miss Anderson. He visited us at school today and we got to learn more about him. Zach's favourite food is pie, but he only gets pie on his birthday. In his life he has had ten pies. He was born in 2002, 26th of April. Zach has a little toy called Kathleen named after Miss Anderson's past pupil. He never wants to share her and he always carries Kathleen around in his mouth. Miss Anderson also has a cat called Archie. Zach's favourite hobby is snatching Archie's lunch. Zach is adorable. He spent 9 years with Miss Anderson learning his manners and that's why he is so friendly, sometimes he is very quiet.

The worlds best swimmer

A rainy damp morning. Today we started with Swimming. My class and I went to Glen Innes pools to learn swimming lessons with swimming coaches. We walked all the way to the pools and then it started to rain so we had to walk faster. It was cold when we hopped into the pool, but then it got warmer. I felt as wet as a seal. We learned lessons with Myka. She tought us lessons that we already knew but we had to practice a lot to get the hang of it. The pool was quite deep but I nailed it. I wish we could go swimming again next year with the same coach teaching a lot of skills that we haven't learnt. I really enjoyed swimming with my coach a lot. I could be the worlds best swimmer by the end of this season.

Tamaki College Sports

On Wednesday 2 May 2012 we had sports at Tamaki College. We had to walk all the way there. When we got there my teacher took us to the wrong direction so we reminded her the direction to go. First we had to line up next to room 10 but we were still waiting for room 9. We went inside when room 9 wasn't even here. We got into groups of ten. I was in a group with Gemima,Anamanu,June,Kato,Apii,Belynda,James, and myself. The sports teacher (Mr Madegewick) took us Tamaki College students to teach us new games. First we thought we were doing basketball but then we thought we were doing high jump but then it turned out that we were playing a game that was part of high jump but it was a different game. The games were :Don't touch the line and we played Octopus for a start.

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: small;">Today at school the Senior syndicate had a science rotation. Room 7 went to Room 8 to learn about parts of flowers and how the flowers get pollinated. In Room 8 we drew a diagram in our topic book and labeled it. Mrs Moopanar told us a lot that we didn't know. We learnt that wind can pollinate flowers and that animals can pollinate flowers. I felt so happy learning from Mrs Moopanar.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </span>

Yesterday we had a experiment. We used celery, water and blue food coloring we left the celery in the water mixed with food coloring. we could have used a type of flower but Mrs Gorge our new teacher decided that we would use celery. Today we looked at the celery and we all saw that some of the celery was blue and the celery sucked some of the water.
