I'M THE WINNER

I’m the WINNER!!

Warming up on the track with my other teammates eyeing each other out. I can hear the crowd yelling my name. Cameras flash lights in my face like I’m important and people asking me questions about the race.

First they told us to come up and get ready on the start line. Ready… Steady… BANG went the gun and off we went.

Then I was running as fast as I could trying not to get distracted by the people taking photos of us running. I can feel my heart racing as fast as I was running.

Afterwards I realised that I just crossed the finish line having smiles on my face and camera lights in my face while trying to see my fans and high fiving them and congratulating my fellow runners.

After my run I felt on top of the world because I came 1st and receiving my gifts from the judges. When I came back I had a big headache of all the noise’s from the crowd. I think I have achieved my goal from running this race. Finished another face now I have many more to come… Let the journey begin

Room 1 literacy class had a task to Read a artical and as you can see the before means that what you think the book is about before you read it. During the book we had to find some words that we don't know but at the end of the story I had to find what the word means. When I did that I felt like I'm getting more smarter as I'm in the class because now I know what the other words are. 

Area and Perimeter

We had a task to learn how to measure a perimeter and area of how long a width or length is. When it is perimeter you have to add length + length =   and you have to Multiply the area like length x width = . When Mrs Tele'a told us that we were learning how to find out the perimeter and the area, I was like oh my gosh I don't know how to do perimeter and area but since I've done this slide and now I know how to find out the perimeter and area of the shape, I fell good now that I know more maths problems. 

High lights, goals and HAVE FUN IN THE HOLIDAYS

My main three highlights of this term for me was, going to Melbourne during school for a whole week, learning how to use my emotions in poetry and how to use my five senses and my last highlight was when we started to do netball and when we started we were pretty good as a team.

When it was grading time we only had three games we won two games and lost one and we are the top of the grading list in netball out of the whole schools that participate in netball.

Two things in Term 3 that i’m going to try improve is: Trying to go for every sport since i'm a house captain. Trying to learn my multiplication and the other maths problems out and trying not to use my fingers all the time.

Before the year ends I want to make sure that I am a really good role model to the years under us and when we go to college we will all succeed and have a good future ahead of us. While we are at school some of us will know already what we want to be when we grow up.

Well wishes for the holidays. Hope you have a good time in the holidays. Wish you guys have fun for whatever you're doing with your family. If you're not doing anything and you're just on technology go to the closest park or something.

Help your parents out in the house or your caregivers and just try not to stay on tech all day, try learn something new, listen and have fun. Don't get hurt and come back to school with a broken part on your body and be safe, bye have fun in the holidays see you in the holidays maybe HAVE FUN.

Maths Whizz homework

This is my usage of minutes on Maths whizz. I'm supposed to have 30 mins in a week, but then I reached it, then I started to continue. One of the lessons were really hard because it was multiplication. To be honest i'm kinda good at my multiplication, but sometimes when I have trouble I sometimes shut down on my multiplication, the only two things I need to work on, is remembering my multiplication like how I remember the song lyrics and Trying not to use my hands on how I figure out the answer for the question. I'm feeling confident about my maths whizz cause most of the lessons that Mrs Tele'a send me are the ones that I need to work on.

I think I have really improved in maths because one of my goals were moving up a group in Maths so I achieved that goal. I am so proud of my self and confident when i'm doing Maths. 

Last day in Melbourne

Last day in Melbourne

Boo. Last day in Melbourne. We had to go down stairs again because we had to have a buffet breakfast. Afterwards we finished, so we had to go upstairs and get changed.

Due to the time we had to go to town. When we arrived at town we went to heaps of shops first. Then we went to go have something to eat and just wander around the place. So we went to go to look around and we saw this sale at this shop. It was so cool that we were lucky that we came to Melbourne this week.

My favourite store that I went to was H&M. I don’t know what it stands for but it was awesome. When you enter the store you see like a rack full of of cloths it was awesome. But when you go further it looks like a castle. I even had to count how many floors, they had four floors and had heaps of clothes, Jewelry, Accessories, shoes, dresses and many more.

When we came back we had to get our bags from the hotel and wait for my aunty that was going to come and pick us up. While we were waiting, another family had to leave and come back to New Zealand. My aunty and her daughter arrived at the hotel where we were.

When they picked us up we had a little bit of trouble putting our luggage in, but one. The only luggage that was really hard putting in was the pram, so we took all the wheels off and made it fit. So then we had to go have dinner, we had dinner at grilled, It was a burger place.

When we arrived, the time was 7:10 am. That was the time I usually wake up. But when I woke up the time was 2:10 pm. I had so much fun having a holiday with my family and friends. Experiencing Melbourne is awesome, it made me think of what I wanna be but I didn't get the picture of what I wanna be yet.

4th day in Melbourne

Fourth day in Melbourne

Going to sleep on two beds in the middle on the bed and waking up in the middle on the floor. That Morning I was so hungry then my mum said “ Get ready then go down stairs, so you can get something to eat.” I was so confused, but then they told us after that we were having a breakfast buffet. So I got ready and just ran out the door with my cousin and my brother we were both having a race seeing who will get their first.

Arrived, my cousin and I won the race, soon as I saw the rest of my the people that were there we just found a table to sit on. Afterwards I just went up after I was ready and just started to get myself a big breakfast. When I saw there was a pancake machine I was so happy, so I got two pancakes and put nutella spread on it. Having a foul stomach it felt like I was going to die, but I still had two bowls of coco pops and apple juice.

Due to the time we had to do something so we were all deciding if we should go with the boys to lazer tag or go with the ladies and go shopping. I wanted to go shopping and go lazer tag, but the other girls wanted to go lazer tag and the boys didn't want us to come, so we decided to go stay at the hotel and have fun in the pools. Eventually the time went past it was so late we were in there for 3 hours but the last hour we had a water fight it was so cool.

When they all got back we all had a plan to see if we can sleep over my cousins house so we asked our mothers if we could and they answered “ Yes.” So we were so excited, when they told us after that we were going to have dinner somewhere it would have to be somewhere near the hotel. Afterwards we went to go Nando’s, lucky it was just down the road. When we arrived we ordered then ate. Due to the the time we had to go back and pack because that was the last day that we had. So we arrived at the hotel it was really late, so we packed our bags and went to my cousins hotel.

That day was the last whole day at Melbourne that we had all together. It was really fun but i’m gonna miss Melbourne but I still had fun. It was the first holiday all together as a family because we usually go separate.  

Third day in Melboure

Third day in Melbourne

GO NSW.  Today is the state of origin game. I was so excited to go tonight to the game. When I woke up I went to go to have a shower and got changed into my NSW gear, I got changed into my NSW hoodie, New South T-shirt and my baggy jeans.

Afterwards I went to go down stairs to the lobby. When I arrived I saw three of the Families that were there already in the lobby, we were waiting for the other two families to get ready, later on the one other family came thru the door because they stay at Mantra and the other family came thru the elevators in the hotel. While they were finishing their little chat, we left the hotel to catch one of the trams. When we arrived to this massive mall it was called the DFO, some of the people went to go look straight at the shops and some stayed and went to go get something to eat.

Afterwards  I was so foul I love Subway but in New Zealand in the sauces they don't have any Tomato Sauce but In Aussie they do have Tomato Sauce. Afterwards I finished having my lunch and asked the other girls my age if they wanted to go and look around, but their was one problem the “ PARENTS.” Parents would probably let us go so we asked them if we could go our separate ways. Due to the silence and looking at each other and their phone for what the time was, they finally answered “ hallelujah” they said “ Yes.” So off we went, I saw heaps of stores that I liked but the two favorite ones were Factory and Lidt.

Lidt is a chocolate store, it was full of chocolate: Chocolate spoons, chocolate bunnies, original chocolate packets and many more there's a photo of the store on my “ Melbourne Trip.” Afterwards we had to leave DFO. We were the last people they’re with another family. When we arrived at the hotel we had to get ready to go to the game, I was soo excited. When we arrived at MCG stadium we didn't have to wait that long in the line, I was expecting a long wait but we didn't have to wait that long but what was long was the stairs to our seats. When we arrived at our seats we didn't have to wait that long for the entree to the game cause when we just sat down the fireworks just started to bloom up in the sky. After the game we were all taking photo in front of the field, it was awesome the view from our seats to the field it was soo cool.

When we arrived back to the hotel it was 12:00am. It was that late but it was worth it we saw some of my mum’s work friends and some of the old family we haven't seen in years but it was nice to see them. But at the end of day I had so much fun, looking at my parents I haven't seen them like this because they were so wild and crazy about the game. But i’m glad I came to the game to I got to spend time with my family.
