On Monday when I got to Room 6 there was a sign saying Entrance closed! Please use back door. Some people tried to use the front door! Then when I entered, (using the back door), the carpet was wet! Because there was a flood. Then Mrs Wilton-Scott asked me to get the microphone and I had to walk on the wet floor to get it. A little while later the bell rung and the class raced to sit on the mat. We did roll, notices, waiata, ruruku and then a man came in with a hoover and started to vacuum (it was very loud and noisy). We did fitness out on the Astroturf, then the man brought in a fan to help dry the carpet. At morning tea we went to eat out side in front of the classroom, so we could put on the fan (we left the doors and windows open.)                                                                 ...

W ow this is the best Water fight ever! Though I did not like getting water in my eyes. The water fight was on Monday last week, the best part was squirting people with my water gun and getting wet and having lots of fun! If you didn't want to get wet or did not have your togs you could play with balls, skipping ropes and hula hoops. If you did want to get wet and did have your togs you can go on the water slide, do the water fight and the little kids had pools, sprinklers and a mini water fight.  I can not wait for next year's water fight!!

W ow, shot put is so fun! The balls were sort of heavy  though, and the high jump wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. Athletics day was on Tuesday the 12th 2019. Throwing the Vortex was cool, seeing the Vortex glide in the air. Long jump was fun, I loved to feel the soft sand on my feet.  Long distance running was awesome. I came 1st place, and in the final race I came 2nd!! Quoits is so much fun! I loved throwing the quoits and, how it glided. The  100 metre run was awesome, Mr McPhun let me clap the blocks. Once I clapped the blocks, the race started straight away! I got to do this because I didn't have a  partner for the race. Athletics day was the BEST and I look forward to next year's Athletics day!                                                    

On athletics day I was in the senior athletics.  I did high jump. I did most of the jumps. I only did two jumps wrong but I gave it my best shot.  On sprints I came fifth. I was very proud of myself.  I also did long jump.  I went as far as I could.  We did shot put, the ball was very heavy. 

This term is going to be exciting because we are going to have a lot to do this term.  We are going to Napier for camp I am very excited. We are going to have a lot of fun.  We are going  be sleeping in the Aquarium which is amazing.  It is my first time in an aquarium.I wonder what it look's like?
