Rico Fast on Fire

I zooooomed around the school field like a cheetah. I am training for the Vardon school cross country and Inter school. It's warm up time. The very first warm up the class did was balancing on one leg it was quit challenging but I could still do it. The next challenging warm up was our stretchy stretches. We stretched our sides so much I felt like an elastic rubber band. One of  the warm up stretches was when you had to do something when you pretended you were sitting on a chair. The last warm up activity we did was twenty star jumps. This made my legs felt so painful I could hardly walk. Now it's time for running like lightning. Some people ran around the field two times but I ran seven times. Some people were really fast and  fit at running around the field. Harlem was amazing at running because he didn't stop and he ran the same amount of times around the field as me and Jono. I felt exhausted at the end of my run. My face was ugly like The Phantom off The Phantom of the Oprah because I ran so hard. I was hiamo (excited) and whakahihi (proud) of running around the school field seven times. My goal is to do ten times. Ka rawae! (awesome)

Matariki Hangi

I peeled three pumpkin's. I loved the hangi I have had a hangi before. I smelt the meat cooking and the vegetables. The stuffing was better than what my mum makes. My sister Bella came to have some of the hangi.

YELLOW

                                                   Yellow            
Yellow is the sun reflecting on a silver opened chip packet making a fire

Yellow is the bees buzzing around the flowers finding Yellow honey.

Yellow is the out line of the yellow eyed penguins eyes diving in the ocean.

Yellow is the fire demolishing a house.

Yellow is the warning sign saying the yellow sun is going to demolish the world.

Swimming

I have enjoyed the swimming instructors because we got to do fun games. My goal is to keep my bottom up with backstroke.

A Moment in Time-Tabloids

I saw kids running like cheetahs.

I heard kids face planting in the sack race.

I felt the pressure on the rope when I was pulling during the tug of war.

I wondered if Batten would be the winning house.

Statistics

We are learning about statistics in maths. One thing I have learnt is the stem and leaf graph what I learnt about it is that the stem goes up and the leaf goes to the side. I have learnt about heaps of other graphs like a bar graph and a pie graph and some more.
