The Bush Walk

“ Hurry up lets GO!” Chris’s Mum shout as him and his family were going down to the forest for a bushwalk. They were going to the wonderful rainforest of Queensland. the whole family wanted to get there before it started pouring down with rain. One of chris’s brothers Jarryd, was still playing game and needed to hurry up!

arriving at the rainforest, the sun was still shining on their face’s, hoping that it would never go away. Almost ¼ of the way, chris’s sister Tarsha Yelled out “ Look a baby Kangaroo!” The little joey hopped away scared to it’s mother.Everyone started getting sore legs and wanted a rest. As Chris’s family sat down, he wanted to keep going, so he did

As Chris was walking he felt little drops of water falling straight on his face, he knew it would start raining so he went back to his family. Looking around the area they were at, they already left. After a while rain starting crashing down to the ground, Chris was running for his life looking for his family but it was too hard to see in a terrible weather. His family was at shelter waiting for the rain to stop. Chris’s Mum started getting worried and wanted to go look for him. HE WAS LOST!

The rain started to calming down and they went to go look for Chris. “ Chris are you there? Chris” the Mum shouted out, No one replied....But Jarryd  saw something moving a long way ahead they ran towards him and quickly took him to safety. He was freezing cold, so they wrapped him in their jackets to keep him warm.

After all that drama they all were safe and went home together as a family.

BEACH TIME!

“Ahhhhhhhhh,“ my mum sighed. “Isn’t it a beautiful day to go down to the beach?”

“Great idea Mum,” I said , as we all began to get our gear ready to go.

Getting out of the car quickly, I ran excitedly  to the beach .  My  excitement  soon turned to disappointment when I caught my first glimpse of the water.THE TIDE WAS OUT!. On such a sunny day I so badly wanted a swim..

“Should we go home now?” one of my bigger sisters asked sadly.

None of us wanted that to happen, so, we decided  to wait for the tide to come back. Our plan was to stay and play on the playground while we waited for the water to return. After what seemed to be an eternity , I finally saw the beautiful, cool water was coming in and everyone began to cheer.  I ran into it,happy to finally be able to cool off.

Even though  we had to wait for the fun to begin, each one of us enjoyed our day at the beach.

Hopefully, we get to do it again...soon!

Blog Entry

Entering school grounds, I saw all my mates talking about the new topic for this term(term 4.) As I walked over to them, I asked “what's the new topic?” “I don’t know” one of them replied. I went into class and I saw a big sign saying ‘TOY STORY’.

Funnest Night Ever

"Finally my first social" as I said to myself.I’m so excited to go, my friends and I have been talking about it for the whole week. I can't wait to go!


As I arrived at the school, I saw a few of my friends and they were looking mean. Waiting outside unpationtly I just wanted to get in. I saw the prefects coming to un locked the doors and I payed my ticket and I was in.

Jumping up and down on the dance floor, Selina (a prefect) called out on the microphone that there was the first competition it it was the dougie battle. Everyone started screaming. The song started playing and one of my friends  james went in pretty confident trying to win. After a while I jumped and I was rocking the crowd, but in the end there was only one winner and that was Nezinli.

I wish we could do this every term because that was the funnest night ever!

VolleyBall trials



One day when I looked at the sports board, I noticed that there were volleyball trials with Mr Barks. I thought about it and decided to try out for the team, but I knew it was going to be a challenge because there were many people that were good at this sport. I will have to try hard.

It was time, the trials were today and I was getting nervous. Looking at everyone, they all looked confident and excited. I had to get my game face on. The server from my opponents team served underhand. The ball sailed over the net at my friend and he put it up for me and I hit it over. Beeeeeep, after blowing his whistle Mr Barks reminded us,“you’ve got to do two hits before spiking, if you just keep hitting it over it's like you're giving a gift to them.”

After that trial, I put everything into it and I kept wiping sweat off my face like window wipers.
Our next trial was the following week and I made it in. I just need to keep trying hard and hopefully I get onto the team.

Our Mini Olympics

Running into class on a dark rainy day, I saw everyone crowding around the teachers table. I went to go have a look, and Mr Barks was writing our house team colours on our hands. “What are we doing” I questioned clueless, and one of my friends replied that we are doing a mini Olympics.

Well..we went on to our first activity with Mrs M (our mentor), and it was jump jam. “I haven't done that for a while” one of my friends said to himself.  I don’t really enjoy jump jam so I think it’s going to be really bored. But, who ever wins this challenge gets 50 points, so I got to get straight into it. Wiping sweat off my face, it was getting a bit physical. It was time to change over now to our next activity, we were all exhausted.

The best activity for me was the Singer Star. I reckon it was the best for me because it was really funny. Some people were flat and some people didn’t know the song so they hummed. IT WAS FUNNY!!! As I was looking for a song to sing, Mr J skipped through and I saw a song I liked. I was challenging my brother Lepa, but in the end he got a higher score than me.

I wish we could do this again because it was a good experience for me.

League Day Out

On a normal day at school, I saw our sport co-ordinator giving out notices about our league tournament.  I just realised that it was tomorrow! It just clicked me now and I got so excited.

It was the next day so we had our tournament today. The whole team walked a long way down to the dunkirk reserve. As we arrived there at the fields, I saw all the schools there like Bailey Road, Tamaki Intermediate, Stanhope and our school’s team two. My team was the Pt England team one, which was the top team.Our first  game was against the Point England team two. Both teams were all full of excitement when they found out we were playing each other. But, there are no friends on the field so we have to go hard and try to win.

We were all set up for kick off, the ref blew his whistle and we received the ball. “P.S.P Prop, Second row, prop” I shouted. All the players knew the play and got straight into it. After four tackles it was the fifth and last tackle, the hooker past the ball to me and I booted it down field. our opposition caught it and we rushed up in a line to tackle him. “Hold Set Up” Our whole team shouted. They ran it straight up to our line and suddenly, he knocked the ball on and we gathered it up and scored a try in the corner. After all that running the score in the end was

Our next game would be the hardest of all of them. We were playing BAILEY ROAD. They have a mean as fullback and he is fast and strong. Everyone just needs to rush up on him and shut him down but unfortunately he just ran through us. And the score in the end was 8-0 to them.

I wish we made it into the Auckland champs, but it was our talking and defence that was letting us down.
