My Busy Weekend

It was a early wake up on Saturday morning when mum wanted to go shopping. We got ready then drove off. Mangere Fair here I come! As soon as we got there, we went through every store finding the items on our grocery list. After that we drove back home quickly to make food for our special visitors who were coming over to have a meeting. When everything was done and the visitors were full, we cleaned up until everything was in place. After a while everything was done and it was time for my beauty sleep.

Food Shopping

Drop! Cover! Hold!

So, instead of finishing off our spelling, the earthquake drill went on. RING! RING! RING! Went the bell 3 times and seeing everybody going down and under their desks.

After getting all squished and squashed under the desks, we all waited patiently for the other bell. When 5 or 7 minutes past, we heard the bell ring again. Then all of us got out from under our desks and went to start fitness.

Drop! Cover! Hold!

The Planet Neptune

Neptune is the last giant planet and the eighth planet from the sun. Winds blow around the planet and their speed is over 1,200 miles per hour. (1,931 kilometres per hour). It has more than 8 moons and the biggest moon is Triton.  Millions of years from now, Triton could smash into Neptune as it keeps drifting closer to the giant planet. Neptune WP:CC BY-SA

Maths makes my Brain Energized.

What am I looking forward to this term? 

There's heaps of things I am looking forward to like writing and reading. But if I were to choose the most enjoyable subject, it will be 'Maths'. Learning decimals, fractions, multiplication and math problems in maths makes my brain more energized. Not reading or writing just maths.

Running to Success

On Wednesday, we had a inter school/cross country race. The year 3's started our race off. After a while it came to the year 7 girls. BOOM! BOOM! Went my heart pounding. PPHH! Went the whistle. Jogging as fast as I could to get up to the girls in front. 2 laps came and I was nearly at the finish line. "Don't trip, don't trip!", I was saying to myself but guess what? I tripped over and I twisted my ankle.

Finally in the lane to the finish line. I could hear supporters shouting, "GO MARANATHA!". Running as fast as I could (with my twisted ankle) to get to the finish line. But there was a girl (in the picture at the back of me) ran in front of me and I still couldn't run. I believed in myself and ran as fast as I could to get past her. YAY! Finally, I got past her and the finish line.

All Blacks beat Argentina in RWC!

The All Blacks have started their defence of the World Cup with a hard fought 26-16 victory over Argentina.

The All Blacks were made to work hard for the victory, eventually pulling away in the final 20 minutes. Both captain Richie McCaw and centre Conrad Smith were sin-binned in the first half as the Pumas went to the break with a 13-12 lead.

However, the All Blacks played better in the second half, scoring two tries to kill off the game. Halfback Aaron Smith and Sam Cane were the scorers for the All Blacks. A Rugby World Cup record crowd of just over 89,000 fans attended the game at Wembley Stadium, breaking the previous record of just under 83,000 at the 2003 final.
