My Presentation about Saint Patrick

Narrative Writing - Squash.

The morning began with the sky being cloudy, grey and cold. It wasn't the best day to play squash even though the sport is played indoors. The speed in the game goes faster and faster as the players challenge each other. Squash is a sport that is very similar to tennis but instead you’re hitting the ball to the wall.

Balls flying, cheering happening around the room, smiling and sulking spread across the friends faces. “Are you ready?” Ivy says as she questions her opponent but their facial expression tells her that they just wanted to start the game. Ivy serves the ball then Chris goes to hit the ball but misses. Instead of the ball hitting his racket it goes flying past. Ivy jumps for joy as she defeats her opponent, but Chris throws his racket onto the ground and walks to the sideline.

Next opponent is John. “Ready to go for a walk of shame Ivy?” John asks with a confident expression. Ivy just keeps quiet and keeps her eyes focused on the ball as she waits for John to serve. John hits the ball into play. Ivy runs to the side and swings her racket with all her might and success goes her way as John fails to hit the ball back to Ivy. John was so frustrated that he caused an argument to break out as he picked himself up and said “NO! You got in my way, that’s why I couldn’t hit it.” Ivy sniggered and said “Well you might’ve just tripped up on your own shoelaces since you don’t know how to tie them!”

“I do know how to tie my shoelaces thank you very much! I would’ve won that match if you hadn’t stuck out your big legs and tripped me” replied John with anger. Moments later Ivy had apologized to John for what she had said before and made peace with him with a hug.  

Last opponent, also the last match of the competition, was between the friends Andy and Ivy. Andy and Ivy had already begun their match. Their friends watched with silence as the ball went back and forth and back and forth. But when it came to an end Queen Ivy had lost to Andy and had to pay for his lunch.

Testing week

This week was testing week. I was prepared for most of the test, but I was very nervous.I am hoping I will reach my expected level. My goal was to make sure I am at national standard before the end of the year.

Holidays! - Evaluation Week 1

The first week of the school holidays had ended two days ago and gosh it flew by! Last week wasn't so bad because 3/7 days weren't boring. On one of those three days my cousins, Leotina, Dorian, myself and my uncle Petelo attended a Roots prize giving that was held at Unitec. 

The first event of the day was held at the Unitec Marae. We were first welcomed into the Marae and then was given a quick tour around the Marae that was followed by the meanings of the carvings. Moments later we moved on to another part of Unitec. While we were driving over to the next area we went past the Auckland Blues Team and Tina (Leotina) is a big fan so while we were in the car she stuck her head out, then waved and screamed "Hi!" like a fool but she was really happy because one of team members waved back! After we had arrived we moved on to a short prize giving and lastly ended our day with lunch. 

Later that week I thought we had an awesome time at the movies but not only because we went to the movies but also because it was our Nana Tinas' birthday! First of all myself, Leotina (Tina - younger), Emma and our Nana Tina went to the movies and watched our favorite band, One Direction! We watched the movie One Direction : This is us. In my opinion it was hilariously funny, sad at times  and awesome throughout the whole movie! After all had settled down our Nana was asking for our concert tickets!? I started laughing and saying that she had caught "One Direction Infection!". When we had arrived back home Tina, Emma and myself had bought Nana a present and had a lovely dinner with the family at home. 

On the last day of the week my aunt and I stayed at home and just rested while the house was quiet without the boys around.  

     
      

Creating images using tan grams

For the past two days we had been given an activity. With this activity we had been given 7 shapes and with the seven shapes our challenge was to try and create the nine different pictures.

While we were doing this activity we also learnt how to make different shapes with only seven smaller shapes. With this challenge I had only accomplished six pictures and here they are...
