Swimming

Excitedly,
I slipped into my life jacket. Eagerly waiting to get into the pool, I
waited for Jay’Lee to adjust my life jacket. Feeling cosy, Chris told us
to get into the water.

Chris is the swimming instructor from Water Safety NZ. Chris is here to teach us swimming techniques.


Slipping into the water, the water wasn't as cold as I expected it
would be, but other girls started to scream because they thought it was
cold. They were acting as if it was as freezing as it might be in
Antarctica. Bobbing around in the help position, we all got into a
huddle. “Now, what I want you to do is relax.” Chris told us in a calm
voice. The national anthem rose in the tent. Voices echoing, Chris
gently rotated us while we were singing out of tune. Thundering noises
is what best described the noise that RM 17 was hearing at that time.

“
You can have free time for 5 minutes.” Chris said. Next minute
everyone was screaming and squirming around. “ Do you want to play
tiggie?” Ashleigh asked. “ Yep, but your in.” I said back. We played for
a while and then got out of the pool.

What a wonderful tie we had in the pool I cant wait until next Friday.

Our Bike Ride Through GI

" DAD!! Wake Up, we have to go and pump our bike tyres," I exclaimed to my dad. Khaia and I had been waiting to pump our bike tyres up. We got ready and headed off. Khaia rode her bike dad and I walked. The Shell Petrol station was in sight. Khaia was already sprinting for the pump but I beat her to it. We pumped the tyres up and rode down to the Pt England dairy. "What Ice Cream do you want?" asked my dad. "I'll have a Magnum Gold!" I shouted. Dad bought the things that we needed and we headed home. What a FUN bike ride! I want to do that again.

Halloween Quiz Night

“Bring Bring” the phone rang. I picked it up and it was my nana. She said that we were going to her work for a Halloween Quiz Night. We got there and saw lots of people dressed up in costumes. There was a chicken, Elvis, a witch, 2 vampires and a skeleton. 3 main tables were set up and a kids table at the back. Kids were playing Monopoly. My nana introduced each other to one another. Shian, Hanna and Cezar. I chose the thumb tack and Khaia was the iron. “ How old old are you?” asked Shian. “ 10 and 7.” We played for a little while, had some lollies and coke. “ Do you know how to play Chicken?” asked Shian. “NO” “ You just try to run across the pit without getting hit by the person swinging.” Going out to the carpark, there was lollies at the entrance. I took some and played Chicken then ball tag. We went back into the retirement home to see what the adults were doing. I stuffed my pockets with lollies. It was time to go and the Elvis team won the Quiz.

I had lots of fun [ and lollies] that i can’t wait until the Christmas party.

Walking into immersion assembly, there were teachers dressed in ant costumes, bees, a mosquito , a moth and snails. We sat down in our lines and assembly had began.I saw on the screen that our topic was Little Critters. Mr Burt the Nasty Mosquito and Mega Moth (Mr.Jacobson) chased each other around the hall. Nasty Mosquito was longing for Mega Moth’s blood, but he was to fast for him.

Mr Burt had ran out of breathe so he said “ Give it up for team 1!” Mrs George was at the front of the spider line, she was wearing a spider man mask. The music started, ‘’ Incy wincy spider climbed up the water spout...’’ Mrs Wild was squirting water at the spider and then the children. The little kids started to scream. Team 2 made a movie about the life cycle of a caterpillar.

Team 3’s item was NZ Next Top Little Critter. Mrs Barks Had a black t-shirt with red dots on it. Mrs Mackinlay had yellow and black wings with a wand. Mrs Maude had Yellow- brown wings on. Mrs Lavakula had a sparkly wig on and had red and black dots on it. “ There are many types of coloured lady bugs, red with black spots, black with red spots, yellow, orange blue eg.” “ I am the prettiest one of all!” Mrs Barks exclaimed.

My favourite was Team 4’s item. Mr Barks was the queen bee and Ms Squires, Miss Garden, Miss Va’afusuaga and Miss King. Mr Bark sat up on the table and it looked like something up his skirt. Flicking his long, golden hair, Mr Barks sat there talking while Ms Squires feed him honey jelly. “ Oh wait for it...” then out came a baby teddy came popped out. One more came out and then twins. Miss Va’afusuaga and Miss King was dancing and Miss Garden was sweeping.
Little Critters is going to be a creepy but exciting topic this term.

GLEE ON THE SIMPSONS!

I was reading a magazine and there was an article that said Lea Michelle, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley are going to star on the Simpson's. The episode is called Elementary School Musical. This is the first episode of the next season. Lisa Simpson joins them at a performing arts camp for a good old sing-a-long. Here is a link to go and watch a premier of it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYchr_deIUA&feature=related

The Canterbury Earthquake

On Saturday at 4:00am an earthquake hit Christchurch. Unexpectedly the earthquake measured 7.1 on the Richter scale and was the same measurement of the earthquake in Haiti. Luckily only a few people got hurt, sadly 1 died from heart attack.

The extensive damage made houses collapse and buildings got split in two. At least 100,000 homes were damaged and about 450 need to be demolished. The roads buckled and buildings crumbled.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is my favourite celebrity. Her first appearance on TV was on Barney and Friends. Her best friend is Demi Lavato who also stared in Barney and Friends. They have done a movie together called Princess Protection Program. They both have their own program on YouTube and she is also on a show called Wizards of Waverly Place. I hope you like my paragraph.
