Swimming sports

On Monday the 4th of March Kaniere school did swimming sports. I entered for 1 length:  freestyle, backstroke,breaststroke, 2 lengths: freestyle and  backstroke. Kokatahi school and us both did it at the same time because both schools needed to do it. I came first in all of my races for my age group. I got in to the districts which was on the 6 of march for all of my races. For both districts and school swimming I was very nervous. In the districts my races where sometime far apart so I had two towels, one for in-between my races and the other was for getting changed. I placed first in 2 lengths freestyle and second in 2 lentghs backstroke and got in the West Coast for 2 lengths backstroke. West Coast swimming was on the 14 of March which is today. I didn’t go to West coast because there it was in Westport so my parents couldn’t take me. Hopefully next time if I make it is in Greymouth so I can go.

 

Have you ever gone to West Coast before?

Did you do swimming sports when you were young?

 

Quick write 4-week seven

Today I did a quick write. The topic was you climb to the top of the tallest tree in your neighborhood. What can you see that you couldn’t see from down below. This is the story of what I think I might see

You climb to the top of the tallest tree in your neighborhood. What can you see that you couldn’t see from down below.

 

I climbed to the top of the tree, I saw …  My neighbors dog licking at a puddle, a tourist taking a photo of the town clock ten blocks away. I saw someone jump off the Hokitika bridge head first eight miles away, the rugby game happening at Case Square with people being tackled one kilometer away. I saw one of my friends playing on there trampoline just down the street. Someone was feeding their cat two houses away. A man was walking down a street with a piece of toilet paper stuck to his boot three blocks away. I also saw the tops of cars next to me and my house I could make out exactly where my room was. I saw my dog scratching his head with his foot.

This is what I think I would see if I climbed the tallest tree in my neighbourhood.

 

What do you think you would see?

Do you think I would see these things?

Kids day

On Sunday I went to kids day with my brother and one of my friends. First we got some cotton candy, In my opinion it was worse then other years.Then we played air hokey aginst each other, after that we went and won some stickers to get prizes. The games we did were Can Can and Tortle turtle. All of us Tried gusseing how many jelly beans were in a jar my guess was 1111.We went and found the place were the sticker sheets. Meia and Me got our faces painted but Nate did not want to Saddly. After that we walked around for a little bit until the hunted house opened then we went in to that,It wasen’t as scary as recent years because people did not jump out at us. Once we lost my older brother Nate and when we found his he had gone to the prize tent and had gotten some prizes. We all quickly went to the prize tent because me and Meia needed to get some prizes. I found a Fidget spinner, a slinky, a small popet, a squishy toy and a Fluffy pink bunny rabbit toy. At the very end We lined up for the Zorb balls because the line was short, I had never been in a Zorb ball before so I was very excited. It took 30 minets to get to the front of the line.I went in a zorb ball with Meia because there was only two and Nate was with us. The zorb balls were The best thing we did at kids day.

Would you Go on the zorb balls?

What would you get?

Quick write 2 -Week 5

If you could invent anything,what would it be.

If I could invent anything I would make a robot dog because you wouldn’t have to scoop up poop or fed it. It will look and feel like a real dog because it has fur that feels real and looks real. It can play with a ball or comfort you if you feel down. People will not spend so much money on dog food, The Body and fur is waterproof so that you do not need to worry about it breaking in water.It will sound real and look real 

This is what I would make if I could invent anything.

This is my quick write for the week

What would you invent?

Greymouth

A few days ago Me, Mum and Nate went for a bike to Nanas. After that We decided that we were going to go to greymouth swimming pool before lunch. The first thing we did in greymouth was go to the swimming pool. The first thing we did was some diving then Me and Nate did some lenths while Mum watched us, I did 2 lenths Frestyle,2 lenths backstrock, 2 lenths breststrock and a few 1 lenths of each. Finally we got free time to do what ever at the swimming pool! I went on the hidroslides a few times,  then the warm pool then I did a bit more diving and hidrosliding it was so fun!!!!!!!

Back at school again!!!!!

It’s 2024!!!

I’m a year 5 in Kereru, I can’t belive it I can still remember being in Weka Tena.  The first day at school this year we did Colouring our waka paddle and meeting our teacher for the first time.  In the third week we started our learner maps and passport. One of my friend’s is not in Kereru. I haven’t enjoyed Being in Kereru as much as I have in other years. Week 3 was the first full week at school! This was my first 4 weeks at school.

Quick Write -1

You can choose one new subject or sport to be taught at school what did you choose and why 

I think schools should start to teach Climbing because…

Then some more people will be able to climb. They will plant more trees so students can climb.  People will be able to enjoy the nature of trees. You will also learn how important safety is.  Some people will enjoy school a little bit better because they will not be stuck inside a cramped hot classroom.  More people will appreciate people that can climb really high. People might start to get braver. Students will get stronger and will want to go out more.  

This is why I think Schools should teach Climbing.
