Walking Up The Farm On Scarlys Way

 Walking Up The Farm On Scarlys Way

Yesterday was our Green Gold Reflection, this means people come to see if we won green gold. Green gold is a award that  enviroschools win when they have been keeping up with all there enviro work.  Instead of staying at school, our class was going up to Scarlys Way.  

We lined up on the deck to walk to the farm. I was at the back of the line so sometimes it took a while to understand what the teacher was saying.  I am NOT a outdoor person so really I was not that excited to go up a muddy farm and have to walk there!  We were there, I used my jersey as a seat then we got in a single file line. 

Pretty soon we were at a HUGE tree for brain food.  We had walked so far and I don't get why the teachers want us to do this. They got all the way here and are not even panting!  In 30 more minutes we were half way up and we started to go down hill. When we got ot the bottom we then had to cross a river full of yucky gunk.

Sentence Starter!

                           Sentence Starters

This is one of my sentence starter - quick writes from this week.

The rain was pouring down. So I turned my face to a frown. I was supposed to go to a friends house and my Mum wouldn't drive me so I gave the rain the crown.  Then I looked up places around the town. There was nothing fun to do around the town so I put my head to the ground.  My sister came in covered in brown so I decided to back down on asking for a friend.  I decided to make a poem full of nouns that turned my frown upside down.  My mum came in with a matching gown but turns out mine was just a dressing gown.  Then dad came in to say the car had broken down and showed us a picture of a red or brown car and took us to the country town.   

Cross Country!!!!

 CROSS COUNTRY!

Each year Wainui Beach School does something called cross country.  No, it is not what it sounds like.  We do not run around the country.  What we do is... go down to the sand dunes and do a run around the course. Last year I only had to do one lap and then half a lap but this year I had to do two full laps.  Looks like you know enough about what WBS cross country is for me to go on.

"GO YEAR SIXES!" I shouted. "Year five girls" said Koka Sue. I lined up to start my race. "Take your marks. Get set. GO" said the starter. I started to run. I had a great start off then it got worse.  I really don't care what place I come in school sports because its just a fun activity that the teachers plan to keep us active. 

I was only one quarter through the first lap when I realised that I was getting tired. Even though I was tired I kept on running. Then I realised that there was a hill and that was why people were starting to walk.  I slowed down and started to walk up the hill then when I got to the top I ran across the little hill and ran down as fast as I could.

Completing the first lap and feeling rather tired I needed to carry on to do the second lap!!!!   I thought  - will this ever end?  This time I knew the course so it was a lot faster. I kept thinking how much further? I really don't get why we have to run so far.  It's definitely easier said than done, I thought.  I turned a few more corners then I could see the finish line. YAY!!!!!!!

I crossed the finish line feeling really  of myself. I had done it. No more cross country ...

...till next year!!!!        🏃

 

Lockdown family movie night!

 Lockdown Family Movie Night

This lockdown we have fat in a lot of activities, such as baking and remote learning. But the first week of lockdown we went on search for something to watch at night.  One night we remembered a movie that Dad bought a few weeks ago that everyone had been dying to watch called The Girl Who Believes In Miracles.  It was a awesome movie about a girl and how it was being her.

She had a older brother who had a girlfriend. The three had a lot of fun together. But one thing they loved to do was to go fishing in the lake at there grandfather's house. The first night we didn't get to finish the movie because I have two little brother's and a little sister and mys brothers had to go to bed.

That night I thought weather we were going to watch the rest of the movie and what was going to happen at the middle going to end.  Its lockdown,so Mum and Dad can't go back and say that we have a babysitter.  This meant that since they said we could watch the movie we had to because restrought are close due to lockdown and the babysitter's can't come and babysit us.
