Easter

Easter

Good Friday is a day before Easter that the Crucifixion of Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. Easter Sunday is the day that the Easter Festival is celebrated. For Easter my family does not have any traditions, we sometimes sit down and watch an Easter movie or maybe sometimes I go to my dads for Easter and we go shopping. The Easter bunny does visit my house all the time but I'm getting a bit older now so he will start to bring less every time. We have hot cross buns because Jesus was hung on a cross and it represents the cross Jesus was put on and now Easter eggs can be handed out.

My Letter To Mrs Taaffe

Hi my name is Summer Elizabeth Warmington. I’ve been at Ngatea Primary School ever since I was five. I was born in Thames (6th June 2005) and I have a brother, his name is Zane and he lives in Thames with his wife Maree. He is already been married and he is 26 years old.

I am growing up in Ngatea. My most favourite subjects are PE, writing and reading. I love reading and read heaps of books on the weekend. We live on a farm yet I've never lived on a farm before in my life! My favourite types of animal are dog’s (pug’s) and parrot’s.

My favourite sport is soccer and tennis yet I’ve not played tennis before in my life but I really want to start playing this year. We moved a couple of months ago to a farm down River Road. I've broken my bones about three times about. I broke my arm by falling off a trampoline, broke my wrist by doing a handstand and fell the other way and I broke my finger by playing in the pool and we were playing a game.

I also do hip hop and tap dancing but my teacher is having a baby so I can not do hip hop and tap this year. My favourite type of food is chocolate and subway. When I was a baby my first word was “Dada”.

PMI about this week

Plus	Minus	Interesting
The thing that I most enjoyed this week was going on the pool toy. I also liked swimming sports that was on Tuesday because I got to meet some people that were from others schools. There was a girl called Summer in my breaststroke and freestyle race!	The thing that was a bit boring this week was the rotation because I did not like the music and people were being silly when we were making beats to the music. Next we rotate again to the next group. The groups were art, science, music and social skills.	The thing that was the most interesting this week was swimming sports because I liked how I meet and made new friends from different schools. They were really nice to me and they had really good sportsmanship! We went to Thames for swimming sports.

Swimming sports

Last Wednesday was swimming sports day for my school. We went down to the pools that morning and started our races. First I did free style then backstroke and then breaststroke. I started free style but when I got up to my second length I was really tired. But I still got 2nd place after Holly. Then we moved on to backstroke. I nearly hit the lane rope but I quickly moved before I could hit it. I got a tie with Mischa but I don't know what placing it was. We then moved on to breaststroke my favourite stroke! I got 1st and I was up against very hard people. At the end of the day I was very happy with what I got and hoping to get into Hauraki plains.





The day after swimming sports I got a notice saying that I'd got into Hauraki plains. I was really happy that I'd got in. I got in for 2 lengths breaststroke and 2 lengths free style. HP was yesterday and there were a lot of schools there. We started doing breaststroke. For breaststroke I had to be up against two boys that were really hard to VS. I had to VS Miles and this other boy from another school. I came 3rd but since I was the only girl in that race I got 1st. Then I had to wait for a while for my next race. Then my race finally came and I lined up ready to dive. I was up against Holly again and I got 2nd again. I hope I get into Thames Valley witch is next Monday.
