Swimming

gif maker Diving into the pool my body was shaking and I felt like getting out. Seconds  later I felt warm so I stayed inside the pool. The first task Miss king told us to do was to practice kicking. She made us to practice kicking for about one minute. I hated doing that because if anyone touched the ground then she will start the one minutes again. So two people were tired and they touched the ground. We had to do that for about three minutes. Then the last time everyone did it really well.

After finishing the task Miss king told us to get into groups of 4. So Me, Dante, Sesalina and Senolita got in to groups. We quickly got into a straight line. Miss king gave us a point for being the first organised group. We were so happy because we knew that we were going to win. When everyone was quite then Miss King told us the Instruction for what we were going to do. After she finished explaining our group got organised to see who was going first, second, third and forth. We all were ready and I had to start first. "GO," Miss King yelled. We quickly worked together to get to first place. I swam down there legs and got back up. Our team was in the lead and our group won by miles. So we got another point and we had two altogether and we won.

Swimming has been great so far I have enjoyed every bit of it. I also want to thanks all the people to payed for our swimming lesson. We wouldn't have this good experience. I also want to thank Miss King for Teaching us how to swim.

Frist day at school

My first day of school


As I got to the gates of Pt England school there were many feelings running down my body. Sweat was running down my head and I didn't want to enter because I didn't know where to go and what to do. But then I had no choice so I just went. A few steps later this girl came up to me and asked me if I have been here before and I said no. So she took me around the school and showed me where the office,Library, playground and courts were.

The first bell rang so we went back to the gates and waited for her friends to come then we went to the hall and sat at the back. Finally the second bell rang and assemble started first I didn't know that Mr burt was the principal because all the schools I went to had ladies as the principal. Then we had to sing songs but I didn't know the lyrics to it so I didn’t sing. Then Mr Burt said “ If you are a year 8 please stand” I stood up and I had butterflies in my tummy I did not know what he would say next. Then he told us to go to the street I did not know where the street was so I just followed the others.


Walking into the street with eyes looking at me there was sweat coming down my face. As I sat down I was so frightened I wanted to be in the same class as the girl that showed me around but then Mrs Nua called out the names for room 15 I was so scared I didn't know what to do each name she said I was getting very nervous until she said the people that I called to follow miss king I relief but then suddenly mrs Nua asked who Kimberly was so I putted my hand up she told me to follow miss King to I was so shy I didn't know what to do.


Getting past the big crowd of children walking from the street to room 15 I was so scared. as I entered  people were just staring and that made me even more nervous. Just sitting at the back by myself I had heaps of sad feelings. Then Miss King told us to do a task with a group I didn't know what to do cause I didn't know anyone to go with. Then thats when Turuhira and Dante asked me if I wanted to be with them and I said yes. We started to plan what we were going to film. It was really cool and really funny. Then we finished our planning and started to film. It was really cool because it was my first time I have ever been in front of a  camera at school. At first we kept on getting it wrong and we kept on laughing about it. But then we got serious so we can finish our filming.

That is how me and my friends became best friends from the beginning of the year till the end of the year through good times and bad times. I would never want to split from my friends they are like my family.That was a my very fun first day of Point England school I wish that day will repeat. How did you feel on your first day?.

India sends rocket to Mars

                                          
India sends spacecraft to Mars

In India they have started their first spacecraft to Mars. Their hoping that the spacecraft will reach Mars safety. They planned to send the spacecraft to travel 300 days. The rocket had lifted off on Tuesday the 5th of November and it should reach mars  in September 2014.

People are asking whether  India should be spending $130 million on a space rocket when their country is one of the highest position for childhood malnutrition in the world.  We think that India should not have paid $130 million dollars just for a space rocket when their are many children that needs to be feed.

If their plan succeeds then India will be the fourth space agency to reach Mars.  What will you choose, spend $130 million on a spacecraft or save more children from dying of hunger?.

Visit to Grandpa's

Waking up with sun shining on his eyes he was so excited. Sam got ready because he was going to a different country. A few minutes later Sam was ready to go. Sam grabbed his bags and headed towards the van. “Be good when you get there ok,” sam’s mum exclaimed.
Sam rolled his eyes as his mum was talking to him.

They arrived at the airport. Sam and his mum took the bags inside. Sam said his goodbyes and went to check in. He went into the plane feeling really excited He looked outside The window I won't be seeing Australia in a while sam thought to himself.

About 3hrs later The plane landed Sam walked out and he saw his grandpa with all his cousins and aunties. They all welcomed him and took him to his grandpa’s house. Minutes later they arrived to a really big house, “who lives in here” Sam asked I do grandpa said. “You have a big house sam exclaimed,” Sam wondered what happened to his other house because that had all his memories from when he was little boy and how he remembered about the stories grandpa had been telling him from when he was in the army.

They walked in the house and Sam’s cousins took his bags into his room he was going to sleep in. As his cousin’s were doing that, Sam and his grandpa sat down on the couch. Grandpa wanted to tell him something. Grandpa looked really sad, that was when Sam knew it was going to be bad news.

“I am going to die soon because I am very sick that is why I called your mum to send you here, I know that you we have not spend that much time together,” Grandpa Explained, Sam’s smile was fading away. Tears started to pour down his face. “How long do you have to live,” Sam asked. Grandpa didn’t really know because his doctor didn’t tell him yet. Grandpa wiped Sam’s tears away and took him into The back yard. When sam was little Grandpa didn’t get to finish off the story of him in the army because Sam and his family moved to Australia. That was the saddest day grandpa have ever had.

Grandpa showed Sam the necklace his wife gave to him before he left to go to the army. “This means everything to me because this was my last thing that she gave me and that was the last day that I saw her.” Grandpa’s wife died 6 months after he left to go to the army. Sam felt really sorry for him.

6 months have almost past and Sam was having great fun with his Grandpa. It was 8 o'clock in the morning Sam heard heaps of noise, he wipe his eyes and went to check out what was happening. All his aunties and cousins were running in his grandpa’s room. Sam ran to his grandpa’s room knowing what had happened. His Grandpa was just lying on the bed. His grandpa have sadly passed away. His Aunties and cousin were all crying. Sam out of the room and walked  to the backyard and started crying.

The next day they did a funeral for his grandpa at the cemetery Sam’s mum came and sat next to him. Sam said a speech telling how much his grandpa did for him and how his  grandpa never gave up on him. After Sam finished his speech he laid the necklace that the grandpa said that it meant everything to him. When he sat down he heard a whisper but no one was there he knew it was his grandpa telling him that he did the right thing. Sam felt happy of himself to.
