Cross Country

Hi,

on Wednesday we had Cross Country. In Cross Country we had to go through lots of paddocks and its really, really muddy. The year 4,5 and 6's had to go around twice! I didn't have to because I twisted my ankle but in the end I did do 2 so I was in pain for like 2 hours. But we got a lot of money from it and now we are up to $39,000 for ski trip!!! It is only 3 days away!!!

Rio De Janeiro!!!

Hi,
This week we have been doing report writing so we did a report on Rio De Janeiro!!! Because this year the Olympics are being held there. So in our report we had to search up information on Rio and its culture like traditional food, sports, landmarks and we had to put it in a report we could only use the most important information and we had to add the subheadings and with every subheading we needed a new paragraph. Here is my report.

Holidays!

Hi,

In the holidays I went to glow in the dark golf in Whangarei I was with my sister, brother, my sisters 2 friends and my sisters friends sister and her friend. There were lots of holes and some took at least 20 hits. It took for ever and I learnt you should probably keep the golf club on the ground otherwise you will probably hit someone I probably should have read the instructions. Also I learnt that golf is not fair when you're playing with a 16 year old. But it was really fun and I am horrible at golf I really need to aim for the hole. Good bye.
