Our Hui

Hey guys/girls,
Today I'm going to tell you about 7Als learning Hui. For people who don't know what Hui means it means assembly. Okay anyways for our Hui I was the M.C basically the host. My heart was pounding with nervousness and I was also the narrator for "Chicken little" readers theatre. There were some technical difficulty's with the sound but we managed to get through it.

My sister came to watch me and it was embarrassing because she was filming me. I did mess up a few times because I was so nervous but It was fine. :D

The performers in my class were Levi, Callum, Tyler, Skyler, Rieya, Matua, Blake, Keghan, Megan, Axle, Tehya and me.

Here is a photo about the house posters

And sugar experiment.

I hope you liked my blog post.

I post again soon BYE.

My athletics day!! :D

Hey Bloggers today I'm going to tell you about my athletics day. The events in order we did Sprints, High jump, long jump, two chill outs, shot put, discus and long distance (running). My Mum, brother and sister came to watch but my mum was a little bit late. First for sprints I came 3th in the first round and last in the finals. In High Jump I didn't come any place and I got scared 4 times. In long jump I'm not that good but my last jump was the best. When we had the rests I got a lot of drinks and I play hand games. Then we went to shot put. I am really good at shot put but I still didn't come a place. At discus I got disqualified because I didn't hold the discus right. For Long distance I didn't come a place but I done really well. I like Athletics but it's hard and I get too hot. My favourite part of athletics day was getting two chill out times. My goal for next year is to practice more and wear sporty clothes. Participating in athletics was really hard because it was burning hot and I forgot my drink bottle. I hope you have a nice and safe weekend. Bye!.
