Tae Kwon Do Recount.

Yesterday morning all Room 10 went down to the hall and meet an Instructor named Yu we got there and lined up in lines learning how to punch we had to tighten our fingers real hard and bend the thumb. Then after Punching we moved on to kicking we learnt it fast then kicking the pads then a few second we were done after that Instructor Yu talked about the Rules of Tae Kwon Do and where it comes from.And Yu talked about how you should not use Tae Kwon Do Outside of School only unless if you're in Danger. Then we finished off with a Game of Tag and then we were done for Today.

Badminton Recount.

Today was our last day at Badminton with coach Robbie. We learnt the backhand serve, front hand serve, and how to hit the shuttle back in forth. Today we had a mini tournament, which we had  to buddy up with each other. The most difficult thing in Badminton is that every game we had to backhand serve. My Favorite thing in Badminton was hitting the ball everywhere, I really enjoyed it.

Matariki Poem.

Matariki 7 stars shining brightly

the sky shows a new year

Maori Celebrate

smell of hangi cooking

taste the tender, juicy meat.

smelling campfire wood,  burning

people tell the legend

and in the morning when getting up early to see the stars from the East Side

Smelling the moisture in the air well looking for them.

The sound of animals running wild and the smell of pig being cooked and people letting off lanterns in the pitch black sky

Matariki is here.

Our Exciting Trip to Long Bay.

It was a rainy morning as I got up feeling revitalized with excitement on my face as I was walking to school because we were going on a trip back again to Long Bay in the North Shore but to study Making Waves.

First we talked about our behaviour on the bus before we hopped off the bus. We started at 8:30am to get there by 10:00am because it was a long trip long trip there. It took us 1 hour to get to Long Bay and when we got there we waited for the Rangers to get us sorted out before we went to a big shelter where we all can put our bags.

When we arrived, Sarah told us to have morning tea. Then we started our first activity with James the Ranger in charge of the year sevens. We walked all the way to a bridge where there was a river, we only saw a white heron standing on a piece of log. Eventually we talked about the amount of litter there were, and how its a marine reserve. Which means you can’t take disturb, or take anything, not even a shell.

When we were walking along the beach we saw this gigantic jellyfish lying on the sand. Then we stopped to talk about it. After that we started walking to the rock pools to search for all the things are on the list. We started looking for creatures like starfish, scallops, and different types of shells. Then we moved on to another activity where we look for dead things that lay on the beach. Most of us found shells. We talked and talked for a long time.

Finally we all went back to the shelter to get our bags. After thanking the Rangers it was time to leave, to go back to school. It was interesting at the end of the day. My favorite part was walking on the rock pools and finding shells.

My War Poem.
