New Zealand Olympic medals

For our extension we had to imagine New Zealand will be hosting the Olympics in 2016. As you can see hear I have done a tiki for the front and the godess nike for the back

Basketball lessons

Room 13 had basketball lessons the teacher’s name was thia. He taught us how to dribble and shoot and the rules. We learnt how to make the ball not hit your feet while running and double dribble and travelling  double dribble is when you use two hand's to dribble. But sadly that was the last training.

Richard Whitehead

Celebrating while holding the Union Jack , Richard Whitehead that is disabled  - an amputee. He won the 100m sprint in the paralympics he is very excited. Richard Whitehead is in the air because he jumped with excitement “yay”. He showed that you can do anything even if you're different.

Tommy Kapai Wilson

Tommy Kapai Wilson is the author for the book Kapai the Kiwi. Tommy talked about his lifestyle and tort us that war is dum because his dad thought that war was cool but once he came back he sead war is dum.

I was chosen to ‎write with Tommy Wilson and the story is about a magic touchstone. And one day it is missing and we have to find it and if we don’t return it something bad is going to happen.


But the thing that Tommy Wilson tort me was to make ten people smile a day.

Paralympics

The paralympics are like the olympics and has the same events but they are for disabled athletes I like the blind soccer.

Cross country recount

Today we practiced recrafting a piece of writing. The first paragraph belongs to Aldora and the second is mine.

“Cross country, Cross country” is the worst event ever. I would never dream about cross country. Today is cross country and I am not feeling good. But I  just want to support my team TE ARAWA.  “GO TE ARAWA” I said quietly to myself.

This is my version of Aldora's story

Cross country “Why me?” I sat nervously. I didn’t know if I could win or if I might fall in the mud. I took a big breath and remembered the race from last year. I then knew what my goals were, I just hoped I would win.

Cross Country Practice

“Cross country practice” Miss King said ow do we have to yes if you want to be fit for the real cross country you're going to have to.

Once we arrived at the big court all team four was there. We sat in a line

“Now listen up” Miss Garden said, we have made a new course. Just when Miss Garden was going to say another word Mister Somerville said“the foot path is blocked off”.


Ok change of plan we are just going to run up to Mister Marks around him, cross the road and then up River Side Road


“Room 13” Miss Garden said I took off but I didn’t want to run because I didn’t want to waste my breath.


My friend Moses and I were running together I could hear feet pounding the pavement I thought I was going to give up but I didn’t.

I could then see Mister Marks I thought that it was easy.

Running past Mister Marks I forgot that I had to run around him. “Brandon” he said “you've got to run around me”

Catching up to my friend I noticed that I was running past my house.

I was now up to Miss King there was cars coming “stop” said Miss King, while we were jogging on the spot. The cars went past “Go!” Just running up the road I noticed that I was almost finished.

I felt great I thought that it was short I felt much fitter. My goal is to beat my score. I can’t wait for the next cross country practice.

The Olympic Flame

The Olympic flame is ignited buy the sun. It keeps burning until the games’ closing.

The Olympic games were started in ancient greece the flame was first lit by a curved mirror the woman use the sun to light torch. Once the flame is lit a woman that is wearing a ancient robe will show everyone around and she will light a little bowl that has oil and it is used to light the olympic flame. Runners run to the host city before they run to the stadium.

At the opening ceremony the flame is the most important part of the games. The flame stays alight throughout the games.

Marathon

The modern marathon was when the Greeks won the battle against the Persians and the leader of the Greeks sent a soldier named Pheidippides to tell the people that they won. And he ran from marathon city to Athens. But once got there he shouted “Niki” and collapsed and died.
In 1896 the Pheidippides run was revived and called a marathon.
Now in the Olympics they do a marathon it is the last event in the Olympic games.
Over the past there have been amazing heroic feats and dramatic finishes in the marathon event.

Olympics

Today is the first day of term three and we are learning about Olympics. The Olympics are when countries all around the world and people show of what their talents. I like the long jump because I like how fast they can run and jump. I think that this term is going to be cool.
