Term 1 Reflection

So far everything has been awesome at school. I do get in trouble sometimes but it’s all part of been a kid at school.

This term I have enjoyed the sports that we play after interval. One of the things I am proud of from this term is my poem with Joshua Iosefo and my rap with Gabriel and Kendrix. I had so much fun learning about spoken word poetry. Rapping with my friends was pretty cool. I hope I can get another chance to do these things again.

I have enjoyed everything this term. I have no negatives.

I wasn’t all that organised this term though I will try to do better next term. I didn’t manage my work that was set for me this term because I wasting my time when I should have been working. This term hasn’t been the best but I know I can do better next term. I have worked well with others in my class. I just need to think before I speak sometimes. I make sure I contribute some ideas when I work with others on tasks. I make sure that the members in my group have a say in what we produce in our tasks.

I am looking forward to all the sports and the independent actives next term. One of my goals for next term is to listen more when we are sitting on the mat. Another goal is to finish more of my work in class and focus on what I am doing.

Derelict House

Walking down the road with nothing better to do,  laughing and mocking the cars as they pass by, then all of a sudden I am stopped in my tracks as Kingston excitedly says “Wow look at that crusty old house.”  Standing back we can see the broken tiles, rusty roofing, hanging guttering and dead wood, the house almost appeared to be out of a thriller movie. “ Yeah I agree because this house is UGLY.” I replied.

“Yeah this house looks like it needs to go”!

“ahahaha.” We laughed

Wanting to get a better look we start to walk across the lawn and it hits me, time to see if Kingston will go in. “Go on, Go into the house I say trying to tempt him, wanting to see if he had the guts to do it. I chuckling to myself as I called him chicken hoping that will push him into doing it, “you’re the chicken here” he replies as we both laugh at each other. When really neither of us want to go in. Together we decide to go in, we take one step onto the deck, I started to second guess myself and try to back out, just as I turn Kingston grabs my arm “not chicken are you? What if this house is haunted? Should we go in or should we run, only one way to find out.

Cautiously we begin to open the door, the air is filled with dust that instantly clogs our throats and a musty smell fills our nostrils so much that we begin to cough.  We begin to enter and we see cobwebs everywhere! On the windows, ceiling, walls, cupboards just everywhere. The floors were cracked and broken. Shattered glass and torn wallpaper was scattered over the ground too. Suddenly a rumbling sound came from outside and water began dripping through the broken pipes. “What is that?” Kingston asked worriedly.

“It’s raining outside,” I replied, Just as we heard it again, for a split second we thought of running but our curiosity to check out the house kept us firmly planted where we stood.

As the rain continued we moved further inside, “Hey what’s that over there?” said Kingston. “It looks like a treasure chest or something valuable”. As we get closer and closer to our target, we hear a little rustle in the corner that frightens us. “Ahahahahah” yelled Kingston. That’s it we're out of here”

“Yeah this house can wait for another day”

Rap

This Movie is about working hard at school.

This song is dedicated, to all the people in Room 20. Mrs Squires and all the students. It’s all good room 20. It was all the test’s. Narratives, writing but math’s the best. Literacy, Reading that’s my game, I work really hard that’s the blame. Reading Writing is what we do. So if we do it, you should too. Living hard and working well. Bring bring bring. There goes the bell. Stepping and steeping as well play. The game is touch that we play. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. (OOHHH)

You know very well, who you are. Don’t let them hold you down. Reach for the stars. You had a goal. But not that many. Cause your the only one. Who’d do well in life.

Mini Triathlon

A Triathlon is an event that happens all over the country every year. This event includes three sports which are... Swim, Bike & Run. At our school we had a mini triathlon to do on Wednesday. Last year when I was in room 22 we had the chance to have a go at this and it was FUN! Getting to slide on the tarpaulin was the best part. This year Room 15 came to join my class during our time at the mini triathlon. There was a lot of bikes and helmets. We got to to slide on a grey tarpaulin too but sadly I didn't bring a change of clothes.

We got to do star jumps as the kids who brought their gear had fun on the slide. After we finish our amazing star jumps we went for a ride around the field. I was having so much fun riding in the lead of all the boys. There is something called the Transition and you're not allowed to ride your bike in there that's one of the tricky parts of the triathlon.

I put my bike back as fast as I could so I could blitz the boys for the run. Getting to the end of the run I didn't know where to go and I ended up coming third... I had a mean time at the mini triathlon.

At the end of the day I was so happy. I wish I could do another one of these mini Triathlons again. I enjoyed my time at the triathlon.

Stormy Day

The sky was dull, fog hovered above the fierce sea. Seagulls were soaring through the sky trying to fighting against the wind, unable to make it.The powerful wind forced my jacket to flap and hit my face every time. Shivering with goosebumps my face was turning purple. I shout out to my mum but the wind has taken my voice away. I Flinched as the sand whipped me in  the leg. I try to tell mum something but the wind just snatched my words away every time, so I didn't bother anymore.

“The sand is so soggy!” Barely able to see, Hare tripped in a ditch and smacked her head on a rock. She stopped moving, “wake up” I cried. No reply. There are no emergency service shelters nearby, the next one is about 7 miles away. Worried about her I tried to wake her up, she wasn’t responding. “We need to carry her let’s go.” Sinking into the sand trying to carry her the wind blew us over. She had disappeared “where is she” I don’t know James replied. “look, is that her there?” I asked. “Quick, get her.”

Trying to grab her I couldn’t reach. “She’s drifting out." Waves smashed into my face, swallowing sea water every second, thinking to myself can I do this? Powering through tough waves James and I were determined to swim to Hare. I saw something in the water, not sure if it was a shark or not? We didn't give up. It was getting closer worried we are going to die I tried to find Hare to make sure she was alright. She's not in sight.
