Junior Warriors

In Week 10 of Term 3, after morning tea the year 6, 7 and 8s had a rugby league final. We had teams that were competing in the finials and they were The Jr Warriors, Warriors, Crazy Horses, New South Wales, East Side 79 and Queensland.

First, it was the year six's and the Jr warriors were playing against the Warriors and I was playing in the Warriors.  So the game began and the Warriors were kicking off first in the first half, the Warriors scored 2 tries and the Jr Warriors scored nothing. Next in the second half the final score was 4 to 0 and so the Warriors won.

Then, its was the year 8s next and the teams that were playing were East Side 79 against Queensland. The final score after the second half was 6 to 0, it was a very good win to Eastside 79 but a bad lost to Queensland.

Next, after the year year 8s had their game it was time for the year 7s to play their final game and the teams that were playing were The Crazy Horses against New South Wales. At the end of the game, the final scores were 6 to 1, so New South had won the finals for the year 7s and I'm sure that they were very happy.

Finally,when all the games had finished all the teams that participated all went down to the hall to have prize giving, we all went in and sat down then the three members from the former Jr Warriors team came with three boxes of prizes, then they asked the best boy and girl from each team that did very well in the game to come and received their prizes and the prizes were a Jr warriors signed rugby ball, Jr warriors boot bag and a Warriors water bottle.

Later on we were asked by room 10 that they wanted to share their BBQ, drinks and chips. We all had a great game and a wonderful experience.

Nelson Mandela/Story review

In 1918 July 18, a beautiful man was born in the Eastern Coast of Africa in Mvezo, when Nelson was nine his father died & he was raised by royalty. After, he was the first member in his family that had attended school. Later on in life he became an Activist with the African National Congress. Knowing that he had the power of the young ones, he had made a African National Congress Youth League.

Later on he started the African National Congress Youth League. Mandela began actively participating in politics in his thirties, when he led the Defiance Campaign in 1952 and the 1955 Congress of the People.

His campaigning soon hit a brickwall in 1956, when he was charged with high treason against the government along with 155 other activists.

Later on Apartheid was getting stronger and new laws were passed which told the blacks where to work and live. But Mandela tried to fight back, coordinating sabotage campaign.

The Worst Accident Ever

The  Worst Accident Ever

On a very lovely day my friend and I decided to go skateboarding so when we got to the skate park we did lots of cool tricks. Then my friend tried to do a dangerous skateboard trick so he went to the highest ramp and he skated of the ramp and he did a back flip. Then all of a sudden he didn't go all the way around and when he touched the ground he landed on his head.

Then I went to him and he was bleeding from his head so I called the ambulance and what I thought is that it was the  worst accident ever. So when the ambulance got to the skate park they came out and they got him up and took him into the ambulance.

When my friend was at the hospital the doctors said that he’s gonna have surgery .Then the doctors called his parents that he was in the hospital.The parents were worried about their son.When my friend had finished his surgery then he had to stay back in the hospital until 3 weeks.

My friend felt worried because of what had happened and it was called the Worst Accident Ever.

Meanwhile it was the semi finals and it was Broncos vs the Bulldogs and the point was 3 to 1. Broncos had 1 and Bulldogs had 3.Bulldogs were hard and they scored heaps of tries and I played in the Broncos.

Once upon a time there lived some jumping elephants,they lived in the jungle that seriously smelt.All of the living animals, blew balloons especially the baboons.

A year later a girl named Alyson was walking through the jungle and she saw an elephant jumping,twirling and doing the Tango dance.

Then there was an alligator named Poodle who was dancing to the Whipa Nae Nae song.  

There was an animal named Banjo and He was saying “Hahaha” you can’t dance, i’m more better then you.Then poodle said ohhh do you want to have a competition who is better at dancing and Banjo said alright let’s go.

When Banjo was walking with poodle he tripped over a yellow ball, he picked it up and it was a lemon.

Poodle and Banjo went to the dance floor.

Later on Poodle was tired but Banjo wasn’t and Banjo was saying HAHA i’m the best at dancing and Poodle said I don’t mind because we still have time to have a break.

Finally Poodle and Banjo became friends again.

My Mothers Cloak

As an infant

I felt guarded

Cloaked

in my mothers cloak

It must have looked funny

Big black eyes

Emerging from its folds

As if that was all there was

to me

I remember

Its rare threads

Amazing and booish

Their lightness

repudiate their clout

Its tivaevae-like Switchs

of slim fabric

An active shield

against sour winters

The colours loud

Yelling for mind

and space

My mother always wore

that Cloak with delight

Undaunted

by its Brightness effect

outlining her out

in a Papaa circle

But combining  beautifully

at every Market

I remember too

With childlike disdain

Discarding my mothers Cloak

Not for me

The no cool designs

extravagant colouring

and awkward fit

She wears it still

Her brooch of pride

sparkling and bright

And not long ago

I tried it on

after many years

Although its not really me

Its because of her

I can sew

on my own

The Asthma Show

Thursday 28 May 2015

The Asthma Show

Today, on a sunny morning, we had a show on Asthma in the Glenbrae School Hall. This show was hosted by a man named Chris who was dressed in a blue suit and he looked handsome.

Chris talked to us about Asthma. Chris said that Asthma was really bad and it affected our lungs and breathing. People feel as if they are  breathing in a small straw.

We learnt from Chris that asthma was triggered by flower pollen, smoke, virus, animal fur, dust mites and cold air. He told us that we could use an Asthma inhaler to help us breath if we suffered from asthma.

Later on in the show, Chris introduced Sailor, the fish. Sailor the fish was big, orangey and greeny. Sailor was funny because  he flipped is tail when he sang a song about asthma.

I learnt so many things about Asthma in the show. Now I can talk to people about asthma and how it can be treated.
