; CrossCountry

Splish Splash was the sound of my shoes as I made my way down the track , covered in thick boggy goo. It was a hot sunny Friday day ,  Pt England School were having their annual event , School Cross Country. Many people believed it was going to be a COLD and UGLY Friday , but instead it was a NICE HOT day.

As I made my way around the corner of our school field , I entered a swampy pile of mud. ‘ YUCKY ’ I said surprised by the goo running down my shoe. When will this nightmare ever end. My friend Tule said , ‘it’s just the beginning -.- . What a nightmare .? The heavy gooey mud caused my legs to drag along the grass.

Trying to make my way through the bush walk,  the mud caused me to slip and I landed on my bum splat,’I just sat there laughing like there was no tomorrow , but as soon as I stood up it looked like I had had

an accident in my pants. I didn’t really care because I knew

it wasn’t real. So I kept up with my friend Tule. We still couldn’t stop laughing about it’ but we got through it.

SLIP SIDE , SLIP SIDE . Was my motto for the day, because thats all I did while , trying to make my way down the track. I ran past everyone, trying to make it down to the finish line. Once again I slipped, but this time I fell like a big pile of floppy jelly. Well my legs were like that. I just wanted to lay there and sleep, but I could see the finish line. So I got up and ended up running my fastest the rest of the way.

. NEK MINUTE .

That wasn’t the finish line, so I made my last track around the field, with all my might, run pass a group of year 7 boys, and girls I stopped just to get the best side of my face for the photo. As well I stop to take at least a breath or two. I stood there for about 5 seconds waiting for my friend TULE, there was me yelling out

“COME ON TULE I BELIEVE IN YOU”

The finish line looked a pretty long way to go, so I jogged over the bottom  field, over the playground. I grab Tule’s hand and ran over the finish line with her, coming 4th and 5th.I could barely

breath because my throat was parched. I drop down to the

ground like I was dead. I let out a huge sigh of relief.

‘Thank-you , Jesus for getting through that track,’ I said as I stood up.

I had the biggest drink I could have in all of my life -.- That was a good run for me to get ready for College.

But I am grateful I was rated in the top 8, and making my

way to interzones. My goal was that my mission was to finish

the track without stop, only once and once only. One day that

goal will come true sometime in my life, if i keep training, to accomplished my mission. If I had the chance to do it again I would at least try one more time.

Tonga Time

Every Friday we have Tonga Times It means we have a teacher
that takes you and do activities with you. I have Mrs Nua as my tonga time teacher what we do is we draw on paper to see what we going to do on our picnic tables, some other groups have their group activities outside and others have their in the street.

We had to do something that represent our school and our culture and put it all together
on to this big piece of paper. When finished we draw that same thing we drawed on to the paper onto to the tables we have outside the class.

My highlight for camp

My highlight for camp was going to Mr Harris for old school games.
When we went to Mr Harris we had to tie a string to our ankle with a balloon on the string after we had done that we all went to the field to play
balloon stomp.

Everyone was stepping on each others balloons.After we had finished playing games with Mr Harris we played a game that we did not want to play but we had to so we had to get into groups of 2 me and my friend cecilia were in a group and other people were in a group we had to thought the egg to the person that was in front of you,

Be a good role model for the little kids and not get in to trouble.

Having our Net books back

I feel very happy to have my Net Book back
but I didn't like it when I got my net book, it had already have been re imaged
it, had all my movies and my musics. but I think they had to re image
it because it was like some kind of safety for us.
