Athletics Day-Discus

The second activity was discus, I was very nervous. As I was waiting in the line for my practice toss, I started to become more nervous. It was nearly my turn. Finally, my practice toss. I thought I was okay. I was excited for my real toss. It was my turn. Oh no. Standing in the circle made me feel more nervous. My hands were trembling with fear. I held the discus, the tips of my fingers curled around the discus. I took a deep breath and tossed it. After I finished my toss I felt relief in myself. Jealousy was building inside of me because the girl in front of me tossed the discus further than me. I was disappointed of myself. Next was 100m sprint.  

How the fern got it's silver

                   How the fern got it's silver

 

In the beginning, all the plants were all green.Once there was  a girl that went for a walk in the forest, as she was walking she spotted a fern tree.As she went to look at the fern tree,she also found silver underneath she thought why would that be there?So she thought that she might ask the forest god.

Then she went on a adventure to find  the forest god,she  walked and walked and walked. When she got there the forest god already knew why she  was hear but he didn’t say anything. So the girl said “why was the silver underneath the fern tree.” and the god said

“You need to hide it from the kea. It wants to have it, and that's why it was hidden there even before you got it.You need to go and do something with that silver.”

So the girl went back  to the fern tree as quick as she could .Then she painted a fern out of the silver, and as she was painting, something magical happened. Every fern turned silver. And that’s why every fern is silver, and even on the All Blacks’ jersey.

The End

As I sit and think about ANZAC DAY…

As I sit and think about ANZAC DAY…

I see the brave soldiers waiting for the battle to begin,in their trenches all scared and nervous and worried about what would happen.Then the battle began and the all started fighting.they could hear the scream of bombs drop.They fight on the muddy ground and sometimes on the wet grass.Fighting all day.Some soldiers already died…

Now I see a large green field covered with,blood red poppies.The poppies grew where the soldiers fought and also died and were buried.There was a young soldier who saw the red poppies and wrote a poem about it.It was called In Flanders Field, the poem was so popular all over the world.We will remember the people that went to war.
