Squash

Woosh there went the ball past me with heaps of might.

On Monday straight after morning tea our class went to the hall to play squash. We got to go for 45 minutes. Soon to men introduced themselves to us, one of them was so tall, his name was Phil. He showed us some basic’s about squash. Phil showed us the big black wall that we were going to use to play squash. “The ball will hit the wall then the other person will have to hit it back and it will go on and on until one of you get out” Phil explained.

Michael showed us how to hit and where not to hit. Soon Phil split our class into two groups. When I had my first shot it was so cool because that was my first time playing squash. In the meantime we had to swap we had to get a squash racket and a squash ball, the squash ball was really soft and bouncy.

The squash ball was really bouncy. After a few seconds later Phil told us to bounce the ball then flip the racket over. I tried and tried, when I tried to hit the ball it went the wrong way, but it was still fun learning new skills. At the end Phil told us that he will see us on Tuesday. Before we went to class Michael asked us if we still remembered some of the squash rules, he asked us to tell him some. In the meantime we had to go back to class.

The best number one female for squash is , Nicol David, and the best number one male for squash is Ramy Ashour. Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830. Harrow school is in England. What you wear for squash is a pair of shoes and glasses to stop the ball hitting on your face, also a T-shirt and shorts.

Duffy Theatre

“Yay today we have a Duffy Theatre show”. On the Twenty Third of September after morning tea we had a Duffy Theatre. The Duffy theatre comes to our school to tell us about reading and an experience of acting.

There were three of them, two men and one lady. There was a sign that said Duffy Loses his words.  There was laughter because there was one man wearing a woman's dress and a wig, he was pretending to be a teacher. When this weird looking, evil guy came, duffy is sleeping. Vautre the mean, evil looking guy blows in Duffy’s ears. Duffy moves side to side, and then he wakes up and said “ Whoa, who are you and why are you here?”.  The mean ugly looking guy put a toilet plunger on Duffy’s head and said “this will take all of your great, amazing words and they will be mine.

After a while Duffy was with Afi, his best friend. When Duffy woke up he heard his mum saying “ hurry up Duffy you're going to be late for school”. Duffy was going to take the rubbish out but it had been the wrong box. A few minutes later Duffy said “where is my toys?”. At breakfast he had Weetbix, his mum went off and he said “I will just use some sugar because mum was gone”. Duffy had thought that it was the sugar but it was the salt. He couldn’t read anything because Vautre had taken his words. Finally Duffy and his friend Afi got his words back by tricking Vautre.

When they had finished they gave out three books and a certificate to three students. They took some photos when they got it and when they were acting, it was so cool. My favourite thing about the acting was when the boy put a dress and a wig on. I hope next term they will come again.

My Kids For Kids

“ Yay today is kids 4 kids” I shouted.

On Friday the thirteenth of September it was the Kids for Kids. The Kids for Kids was in Mangere. When me and my dad and brother were about to leave I grabbed my bottle and ran to the car. We went I was so excited. After we had got off the Southern motorway there was for ways we could go my dad said to me “do you remember the way to go?”, “No” I said to my dad. We tried almost every road, I said to my dad  look there's heaps of cars and people coming out of the car with their children”. I looked ”YAY” and it was where we had to go.

We jumped out of the car and walked to the backstage. I told my dad that it was freezing. I quickly ran inside the building. “Wait up” said my dad. I then saw a lot of students with colorful T - shirts and pants, I didn't see anyone in my class. I then saw someone wearing silver sparkling clothes and waving at me, and it was Miss G with a big smile on her face. My dad and brother went to go find their seat. I saw some students in my class like Alecia, Kanesini, Faleaka, Ma’ata, Joanna, Rosalina, Tokilupe, Stephanie,  Seuati, Paul and Manu.

I sat down and there were a lot of crazy students from other schools. When we sat down Miss G let us play with the knuckle bones and the monkey barrel, almost all of us were playing with the monkey barrel. When it was time to go on stage we had to get into a line that we had lined up in the morning. I got into the line with another school and with two students from my class. Next Dayna told us to come to the stage. It was so cool walking on the stage and seeing how many people were there in the audience.
