Basketball

Every Thursday from the starting of term 3 Room 19 went to basketball training.“Yes we're going to basketball” I said to Nathanial sitting next to me when we were walking.

As I saw the basketball court I was just about to run down to our teacher but didn't really want to.

We went to practice bouncing,handling and how to do awesome tricks. Every time we go to basketball we practice jump stop. One of my favourite things to do at basketball was a game called King Of The Count. To play King Of The Court you have to start in a small circle and try backhand the other person ball out of the circle.

The first week we had basketball I was so surprised when Mrs Lagitupu took us to the court to play basketball. The first thing we did was play a warm up game. We played octopus. As I was zooming down the court I noticed that everyone was in but four of my classmates. I got tagged first out of them but it was a cool.

As we were leaving basketball we said thank you to our basketball teacher and went back to class. "I love basket ball"

Silas If I Were Black

HURRY UP CLEVELAND MUM AND DAD ARE WAY UP AHEAD,” I yelled. I hoisted Cleveland onto my shoulders and rushed through the crowd to find mum and dad. They were holding up some signs saying, “Equality for Blacks”. We finally found them halfway through the chanting groups of black and white people. While we marched, me and my little brother Cleveland were chanting with pride and hope.

My name is Omar. The year was 1963 and we were in Washington D.C. marching to make things equal between the black and white people. When we reached the Lincoln Memorial the march was over. Everyone gathered round eager to hear what Martin Luther King had to say

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,”Martin Luther King’s voice was loud and clear speaking out to the crowd of thousands. He was very inspiring.

North Harbour Vs Marist Eastern

It was a early Sunday morning and the boys from Marist Eastern were going to North Harbour Stadium to challenge Marist North Harbour. The bus was waiting across the road and we were ready to go, we didn't know where the bus was going so we sat back and enjoyed the ride. There was 2 teams under 13's that was my team and under 12's restricted I sat back relaxed while everyone on the bus was chatting away. We were almost there when we could see the stadium in a view, it was massive there was my team mates thinking we were going to play in the stadium.

We got inside the area and the bus stopped, we were playing on one of the fields at 2 o'clock I was waiting for the game to start so we could beat north harbour. It getting near 2 o'clock when the reef came and checked our boots and mouth guards, everything was perfect. I was so excited that our team had been invited to challenge north harbour. 

The game had started and our team was ready and waiting for north harbour to get ready I watched on the sideline. My friend Tevita got the first and last try of the game our team and supporters cheered I was clapping for Tevita. It was good game against North Harbour I was happy my team won.

Go Marist Eastern!!!

Silas, Mosa Goldstar Fairytale

Once upon a time there was a boy who stole a lot of things. But he wasn’t just a thief he was a evil spirit too. Deep in the forest Mother bear is preparing breakfast for her family.“OWWW my porridge is too hot’ said baby bear “lets go for a walk” said father bear. When there going out Goldstar saw them walk out. “There’s my chance” explains Goldstar. He crept in, closed the door and started snooped around the house looking for a safe, instead he found 3 bowls of porridge. He ate a bowl and leaves the other 2 bowls.

But what he didn’t realize was that there was another touch of ingredients. There were worms and tree bark was also added. He quickly spat it out when he felt the worms wriggling around in his mouth. Then he decides to go down stairs and found three beds. He forgot about the three beds and kept looking and suddenly he tripped on a toy and a closet opened. When he looked at the toy it hadn’t moved a bit it just went down slowly he went to examine the suspiciously he pulled it and looked under. Theres a lever here and I’ve found the safe,he said so he quickly stole what he could and then he broke two beds. he heard a knock at the door and quickly jumped out the window and lived happily ever after and he never stoled anything again.

Literacy Cycle

This term the senior students of Pt England school have been doing some events with the teachers of classrooms. Every team 5 teacher is pitching in to do an activity with the students of room 15, 19, 20, 21, 22.

Last week I had animations with Miss King I was so happy when I got told I waited for Miss King to come. I waited and then Miss King walked in and asked to sit on the carpet. The theme we had to do hyper studio was on Michael Jackson Anthony and I. My animation didn't get finished but at least I finished trying.

I hope my next rotation is visual art I really like art it is one of the few things I like to do. Animation was cool though because we learnt new things like how to do graphic object. My friend Anthony and I were doing man in the mirror we had a werewolf guy standing in the mirror shaving. He was trying to be a better man.

Animations is really fun and I hope that the next people in animations have a good time. Animations rock, I didn't finish my animation but at least I had fun doing it. Miss king you are the bomb taking animations class. Miss King you rockl
