Cricket Tournament

Cricket Tournament.

On Tuesday morning my school had a cricket tournament after morning tea.

First we started by going to our houses, the house I was in was Kauri And were against Rata. While the round was playing I surprisingly catched the ball and everyone was cheering for me, but for some reason I felt awkward because I wasn’t used to people cheering for me that loud. at first Kauri was winning but Coach Lucas was being a partner for Spencer because he didn’t have any, and when he hit the ball it was stuck on the fence and they were running back and forth back, back and forth and every time they ran they gain points we were having a hard time getting the ball because it was hit way high up the fence but luckily geo from rm6 climbed the fence and threw the ball back down. Then it was kauri’s turn to bat, my partner for my team was Franceska, After a bit of cheering and waiting for our turn it was finally Franceska and I’s turn to bat I knew I was bad at batting but I had a really good time playing cricket and I think that me and Franceska work really well together.

Then it was Totara and Rimu’s turn. We all sat down on the pathway and cheered for Totara and Rimu. After a bit of cheering and shouting we finally finished the tournament and went out to eat lunch.

St Patrick’s day

Last week we had St Patrick’s day but sadly it got delayed on the 15th of March because the rain was too heavy to play so it was postponed to Monday. After two days of waiting for St Patrick’s day it was finally time to have St Patrick’s day, but we had to go to mass first.

After mass we did our task board, Task boards are like activities for I did wordle with Pio and I we did hard words for us to guess and gave us each other hints, then we watched “Spirited away” for a break I would really recommend Spirited away because it is full of adventure and funny lines, but we didn’t have enough time to finish the movie because we had assembly.

After assembly we did some math then the bell rang and it was time for morning tea, once morning tea finished we had to sit in a line with our class. After some time Mrs Bullot finally called out my name for my group it was called shamrocks.

After everyone got sorted out in their groups we all went to the places we were meant to go to, the first game we played were spoon race it was basically where you put an egg on a spoon and try balance while going around cups 2 times, even though we lost that round I still had some fun.

The second game we played was a bag game. The rules were where you had to go inside the bag and hop to the other side then grab the spoon on the ground and balance the peach with the spoon the we were against with were good but we both had a tie for that round.

then the 3rd one was cricket we basically had to hit all the wickets and if you hit them all your group wins and finally my team one a game.

The 4th game was with Mr Bell my teacher. The game we played was scatter ball, the way you play the game is you have to throw 3 balls anywhere and run till you reach the wall, but if you hear someone yell out stop without reaching the wall you loose.

And last but not least netball the teacher we had for the game was Mrs Kyle the rules for this game is that we had to pass the ball to our groups and give it to the little one to throw to the hoop we had a tie for this one.

The best way to finish the day is popsicles and that happened.The flavors were tropical,pineapple and orange.My group got tropical flavour.

 

We ended the day with karakia this was the best day ever

 

My weekend.

My Wonderful Weekend

Last week, I wasn’t at school because I had COVID.  It wasn’t really the painful and ugly COVID like some people had experienced. Having COVID for the first few days, I really couldn’t get up and I felt that my energy was sucked out from my body.  As time went by I felt a lot better especially when it was nearing the weekends.  True enough, I got better so I decided to go to the park nearby to play volleyball with my mom and my big sister while my dad and my brother went to the playground.  Even though we didn’t stay at the park for long, at least we had some fun!

On Sunday, my family went on a little trip to the beach. My Sister and I tried fishing for the first time. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch any fish but my sister caught one. I screamed because the fish she caught looked weird and ugly! Then my sister started to chase me around holding the fish to scare me. I kept on screaming and squealing and yelling at the top of my voice telling her to stop.  Mom yelled at us for running around like crazy dogs but she mostly yelled at my sister. She told my sister off for her behavior that she should have been more sensible being an older sister.  After a few more hours, we finally decided to go back home.

Even though, my sister and I got told off by our mum,  we still had the best time with our family. I really hope that we have more of this wonderful family time in the future.

 

 

My Summer Holiday

My summer holiday.

During my summer holiday my family and I went to a place called Red Wood Tree. It was a pretty long drive but when we finally arrived it was kinda worth the wait. The first place we went to in the red wood tree was this so-called Red Wood Tree Walk, My baby brother had to stay in a rusty old stroller because it was the rules to walk up the Red Wood Tree Walk It wasn’t that high in the first place but when we walk farther it got higher and higher. After a While when we were walking I saw these paper lamp things. They were different colors like Pink,white,Blue and yellow. The paper lamps were hanging on the branches. After a while of walking we arrived at some stairs. 

 

My sister and I started laughing knowing that my Dad and his friend had to carry the old rusty stroller from the staff with my brother on it. Then my Mom said to go without us because they were going the other way.

 

I was a bit happy because I wouldn’t really have to wait and walk slowly but also a bit sad for some reason. Then my sister yelled when she looked down because she was afraid of heights. I started laughing seeing how scared her face was.

 

It was really hilarious when we were finally back from the ground and we met our parents again waiting for us. There was also a shop In Red Wood Tree so My Sister My Mom and I went inside. I didn’t really find anything pretty inside after like 5 minutes of staying inside the shop. My Mom finally bought something. After that we took a lot of pictures. It was a bag. The place was fun but also tiring.
