XCountry

“Yay I’m so excited for X Country” I shouted aloud.                                      

On this amazing, exciting, hot, sunny day it was Tuesday the 13th of August. On that day it was X Country. When it was lunchtime I got my sport shoes and then Miss G put the age that we were on our hands. After lunch some of the students, teachers and parents were watching us walking into the tennis courts.

There were chairs with labels on it that said the ages. I went in the line with the others who were 10. Miss G said “First we are going to take the 12 and 13 year olds”. They went to go line up near the office. “On your marks, get set, go” said Miss G and she banged the blocks together. The students all zoomed off running around the streets. A little while later Miss G told the ll year olds to stand up and line up near the office. Again she said “on your marks, get set, go!”, They were all zooming of down the hill.

I was so scared because me and the other 10 year olds were next. Miss G said “On your marks, get set, go”, I went running down the hill. I saw two girls from St Mary’s College say to me and my friend Tokilupe “keep on going girls”. “I’m thirsty I need water” I said to Tokilupe. I then had saw my auntie across the road, I shouted to my auntie and said “Hi auntie ”. My auntie waved at me and after that I was close to the end so ran to Tokilupe.  

I kept on running until I ran back to Miss G, When I was running Rachel told me to smile so I smiled because I was happy. I walked inside the tennis court and sat down and finally the race had finished. I asked Monique who came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. She said that she had came 1st, Joanna came 2nd, Folauhola was 3rd, Tokilupe came 4th and that I came 5th. I was happy that I came 5th. After that all of the seniors walked to the corner of the tennis court and watched the juniors run around the field. When the 8 year old boys raced I cheered for my brother. At the end of the race my brother came 2nd. After that we went back to class when the others had finished and got back into our school uniform and went home.   

The Assumption Of Mary

We Celebrate the Assumption because it is Mary’s Heavenly  Birthday. Mary’s Heavenly Birthday is on the fithteen of August. When Mary died the people couldn’t find her body and her bones so Pope Pius declared to the people that Mary’s body was sent to Heaven. When she was sent to Heaven she became the Queen of Heaven. When Mary died the people didn’t know where she went.

Badminton

Badminton is not a hard game to play . Lots of people can play badminton, all you need to use is a racket, shuttlecock, net, badminton court.

The idea to play badminton is to hit the shuttlecock over the net to your opponent one or two players on each side can play badminton.

When you play badminton the points go up to twenty one. You can hit it low, flat, fast, high. soft, smash.

When you play badminton you hit the rounded bit of the shuttlecock.  Also when you play badminton the girls wear a skirt and a t - shirt, the boys have to wear a t -shirt and shorts. Badminton is played in the Olympic Games, there can  be singles or doubles, mens and womens.

The Rainbow Bird

On a stunning sunny day there were a bunch of birds hiding in a tall tree. One day it started to rain and after awhile a rainbow appeared. The birds were jealous because the butterflies and insects had colours on them but they didn’t. Two of the the birds got flower petals and berries to make them colourful, but it didn’t work.

Suddenly they looked up at the sky and they saw that the rainbow looked a bit strange . They saw a beautiful colourful bird landing down on the short tree next to them. The bird first said “my name is Phoenix, and I need your help to save the rainbow because it’s losing its colours and is getting eaten by the roaches”. Some of the birds flew up with him to save the rainbow. The roaches saw the birds flying up to the rainbow so they got into a big group and started flying to the birds. The roaches were crawling all over the birds. One of the birds came up with an idea, he said why don’t we eat the roaches.

They ate all the roaches but their were still some on the rainbow to so lucky they ate and saved the rainbow. The birds looked at the rainbow while it was growing back it colours.

Next they went through the rainbow and they were all colourful, the birds flew back to the tree but the other birds that didn’t go were jealous that they weren’t colourful. THE END
