Sports Post

On Saturday I played soccer. We played Turiua and we lost 3-6. There were not enough 11th graders so there had to be some 13th graders in the other team. It was not very fair in the end because they were dirty players and they were one of the best teams that we've played before. I was put in defence and it was hard because the other team kept the ball on our side so I had to try and get the ball off of them. Next game I'm going to try and work on not kicking the ball just anywhere and passing the ball to my team mates.

The thing that I found awesome in iDrive time was that we were all working together and we had no fights at all but the game was hard. I also liked how an older kid came and taught us a new game that was called Cheat and it was really hard.	The minus for iDrive was that Bree only taught us one game and we really wanted to play more than one but we kept playing the same game over and over again.	The one thing that I found interesting was that we all got together well and did not disagree with each other.

Holiday Recount

In the holidays Ella and I went to Rainbows End. When we entered the park we got our tickets and raced over to take a picture of the sculpture of Kung Fu Panda. We went over to the Pirate Ship but the line was to big so we went over to the Fear Fall. The other side of the Fear Fall was not working so we had to go on the other side. Mum, Ella and I sat in the seats and we put the bar down and clicked ourself in. We went up slowly until we were at the top of the Fear Fall. We could see the whole of Auckland and a lot of houses. We were talking because we were scared of how high it was.Then it moved a bit and then we went down. Ella and I started screaming. We stopped at the bottom with our eyes watering. After that ride we went to the Movie Monitor. When we sat down we put all of our loose items into a box. We put our seat belts on and waited until the movie started.

Ella and I were gripping onto the handles so that we did not fall off. When it started our chair was moving all around the place and it looked like we were inside the movie. Then we went on the Log Flume. Ella and I saw a girl that we knew called Amber and she was going on the Log Flume too. Ella, Seira and I sat in one of the logs. We had to get in the log quickly because it was still going and I nearly forgot my bag. Ella was really scared of going down the Log Flume because she is scared of heights. We looked at our photo after the Log Flume and it was ugly! We went on the Invader. It was not very scary though. Ella and I did not scream.

In the second part of the holidays I went to my dads. I went to Dargaville and it took about 4 hours to get there. When we got there it was about 6 p.m. The next day we went to the beach with my friends. We climbed up a mountain that took about 30 minutes and took some pictures of the view. My dad was down on the beach and he looked like a spot because it was so high up. The next day I went to the Warehouse and got some things. After that I went to play with the cows. There were two cows that needed to be killed and they were cross breeds. There was a girl cow and she was a Friesian that was really spotty and there was two black cows and they were brothers. Every time I went to run, they ran with me because they thought that they were going to be moved.

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.

PMI about this week

Plus: This week has been awesome because we had a week off of school work. The thing that has been really cool for me this week is doing the team building at the end of the day. We do a lot of different activities like games with hoops and games that involve towels. I thought the team building was a really creative idea.

Minus: The thing that was my less favourite thing was doing the quiz that we did this morning because it was a bit hard at times, and some questions were a bit to easy. There were 20 questions on the doc to answer.



Interesting: The thing I thought was interesting this week was meeting all of the new people that came to the school. I meet a new friend called Riana and she is really nice and sometimes funny too!!!

This year I have enjoyed maths because it is my favourite subject. My maths teacher is Miss Sixsmith and she is a really good maths teacher because she teachers me things that I want to find out. I have learned heaps of interesting things like Measurement, Fractions, Geometry and much more. A website called IXL has really helped me a lot with my learning. The hardest thing I learned in maths was measurement because I had to measure things like the back court and class rooms. I have learned some new strategies and ways to solve problems out easier.

iDrive this week

This week for iDrive I finished my art from last term. I got to do the black outlining and put some glitter on where ever I wanted. It was easy for me because I did not have to do much. We had to go around the face twice and make the vivid line really thick. I did it with Alexa and Olivia. Today the word that I did was participation because I was talking to the people around me and not ignoring them. I helped them as well. Then we went to the glitter part and put some glue on our art. I put the glue on the lips, the spots and the flower on her head.

 

High Jump Video

Below as you can see I did high jump. I am practising for athletics. I am not that good at high jump but I still try. My teacher Mrs Taaffe videoed me and sent it to me from her phone. I hope you all like my video!


Here is my video:

I hope I do well on athletics day from all that training and I will try my best to get into Hauraki Plains.
