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.
