AFL

Filled with excitement I was ready to learn a sport called Kiwi kick or AFL. It is a Australian sport.. We had to learn how to play. We learnt how to pass the ball and learnt how to kick the ball.

There was lots of things we learnt. But there was this thing called laces away from faces. Our coach was Sam but he said to call him Sandwich.  Then sam asked if we wanted to  play game call octopus but with a ball and we said yes.

Lots of game we play. After that we play we had to go back to class for home time.

Taonga Time

Every Friday all of the year 8s and 7s do Taonga time. There are 7 groups. I’m with Ms Va’afusuaga the sports teacher. We mostly play games out on the hard court or field. It is great exercise.

Last week Ms Vaafusuaga was sick so we stayed in class and went on Maths Whizz. It was an alright time.I like going to Ms Va’afusuaga because I like playing  sports. She always takes us out to play a game or we talk about NRL.  

Van Gogh and Matisse

We are learning about the art of very good painters. The artists names were Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Their paintings are very bright and kind of dark. They had different  styles of art.

First I looked at Van Gogh's painting. His painting  was a sunflower. The colours that he used were yellow, brown,black and orange but lots of yellow for brightness. Some of the sunflowers looked dull and dead.

Room 21 did Matisse art first. His was call La Musique.The painting had two ladies in it one was playing a guitar and I think the other one was have a time and a big plant at the back. But the painting  had lots of bright colours that meant that he like to use bright colours. His painting was hard to copy but I still draw it.

GOING TO VICTORIA SKATE PARK

On Friday my friend Potaua and I and his cousins took a train to town to go to Victoria skate park. When we got there we had to push our bike until we got outside. But we took the elevator instead of walking but we went to the wrong one. We were supposed to go to the one that was by the step so we had to go all the way back down and had to push our bike to the other one. When we got outside there were lots of people walking and driving and lots of police.

But we still went to the skate park. Lots of people got in the way so we start to bike on the road. Potaua's cousin lead the way to the skate park and we followed him. When we got there we were happy.Then Potaua started to do lots of tricks and I started to do tricks too. After we did that it started to get darker so we  started to bike back from town all the way back to Glen Innes. When we got back I brought some hot chips for Potaua and his cousin’s and me. When we were done we all went home.

CAMP CONCERT

I was so happy walking into the hall and I was ready to dance with my team. Seeing all the other teams sitting up really to get points, I felt happy. Our host was Mr Bark’s. Respectronics was my team. I was so happy to dance and I felt a little bit shy but I still danced. After our team was done I was exhausted.

Then Mr Bark’s showed us a video of camp. After it was done Mr Bark’s gave an award to people who were good at activities. I got an award for being the best boxing champ. I was so happy at getting an award. My best team that I liked was the Respect Crew. We were so exhausted that when it was done we had to go back to our tents and I went to sleep.
