Volley ball down at HPC

Volley ball down at HPC

Today we all walked down to the local college to take volley ball with some of the year 12s. When we got down there we piled into the gym and listened to Ange talk. After she had finished talking we split into our groups. I meet the leaders of our group and they were called Rihanna and Daniel.

We played a quick game of line tag and then got straight into it. We got split into pairs so Edell and I went with each other. We just did some serving to the wall and then we starting serving to each other. We kept switching partners so we could work with others. We had a little time left so we played some real volleyball.  

We were split in half and we started. When Liam had the first serve you could hear the big thud. When the ball came at me I whacked it as hard as I could. Then after a little while we swapped around so I was now a server. My first serve wasn’t that good but after awhile they started getting better. We heard the final school bell go, so we knew it was time to leave.

On Thursday we have another session and I can’t wait. I had lots of fun and I think other students did to.

Goal reflection: Never give up !!!

Never give up

This week our goal was to never give up even when it was hard. I really tried to challenge myself this week. I have been learning all about square and square roots, i'm slowly improving and getting the hang of it. When I was completing my maths PAT. I found some of the questions difficult but I still tried and never gave up. This will be my goal throughout the year.

Current events: Golden day for paralympians

 New Zealand Paralympics have received more gold medals. 

Track sprinter Liam Malone ran to victory in the 200m final. He  broke the record of South African Oscar Pistorius in the T44 classification for athletes running with the aid of prosthetic.

In the pool Sophie Pascoe and Cameron Leslie smashed  their opponents in finals.

Pascoe received her third gold of these Games. Which means Pascoe  is now New Zealand most successful Paralympic. Her latest gold means she passes Eve Rimmer, who won eight golds in different track and field events from 1968 to 1980.

Swimmers have won five of New Zealand’s six gold medals in Rio.

My opinion: I love that we go and attend these games and do well. I think not as many people care about the Paralympics as the Olympics. 

I wonder......

  Is it better to be a child or a grown up? I think that it is better if you are a child because you can get away with things.   And when you are a grown up you have to pay bills at least once a month and you'd have to go to work. I like being a kid and I hope that one day they will make an ageing spell so I don't have to grow up. 

I wonder.....

If you could be an animal for a day what animal would you be and why?

I think that I would be a penguin because I love swimming and I think that it would be really cool experiencing the different living situation. It would also be cool to see how they survive in the wild and not in the zoo.

Money Week

I normally spend my money rather than saving. If I won 1 million dollars I would by myself a Suzuki swift sport, Boat and a house. I would leave the rest of the money in the bank and receive interest of it. If I found 50 dollars I would take it to Mum and ask her what to do. If Mum wasn't around I would take it to the police station. My money role model will probably be my Dad because he is so cautious with his money and I am not so I have to be a bit more Cautious with it.  Here is what I would buy with it.

Blokes Day

On Friday at Ngatea Primary School we had blokes day. Blokes day is a day when you invite a special bloke in your life to school. We had an assembly and then we went and spent some time with our blokes. My Dad and Poppy came. We went into Jaydes classroom first and then went into mine. In Jaydes classroom we looked at her learning and some art. In my class we made a cork launcher. Our cork didn’t launch the furthest but we tried so that was OK. When I went home I washed Dad’s Ute for him. Then I just chilled. One Sunday we had a special lunch. We had Hash Browns, Eggs, Bacon and Mushrooms. We just chilled and it was a lovely day. Happy fathers day Dad xx  

Father day

My Dad likes to go fishing even though he isn’t the most successful fisherman he is the most successful dad. My Dad

He is your own personal handyman and when I want stuff put on the wall he’ll do it for me. I enjoy our rides in the truck and our long semi boring discussions. I like that you are patient with me when I break you tools or when i’m grumpy. I like the way that your eyebrows are not on fleek. You're the best Dad ever.

Love your favorite daughter Alyxxxx
