Cross country

Cross country was confirmed on Thursday, and everyone got into their house colors. Feeling nervous I was still thinking of me finishing last while everyone looking at me. Mr Burt called us to the starting line. I felt energetic when I was standing at the start line.

Mr Burt clapped the red wooden block to start the race. I didn't hear Mr Burt clap the wooden block so I didn't start running until I saw the boys in front of me’ OH NO’’ then I took off as fast as I could to catch up to my friends.

I ran 1 long lap around Pt England without walking .On the second lap I started walking for a little while until I catch my breath then I continued. When I saw the finish line I sprinted the whole way. I felt energetic as I crossed the finished line.

When I ran over the finish I was happy the run was over ‘’ finally ‘’. After the run I went for a long drink of water. Overall I thought cross country was fun, But also challenging.

Drugs

The past 2 weeks we have been going to harold learning about drugs and how drugs can affect you.

All around the world people have been taking drugs and losing their life , some drugs are illegal some are not. All medicines are drugs but not all drugs are medicines people take drugs because they're sick or in pain. Some just take drugs for no reasons . There are very common drugs around the world like marijuana , weed , pills , steroids all kind of drugs. Drugs can altered the way your brain function.

Choosing marijuana is a bad choice and it is also going to mess with your brain. Drugs can seriously damage your brain and it can also kill you.   

Mascot

My mascot is {Rocket Kiwi}

The next Commonwealth games is going to be played in New Zealand so our job is to create our own mascot. As you can see my mascot has already been created.

The reason I designed a Kiwi is because it represents new zealand. I chose the name Rocket Kiwi because he has rockets on his shoes. He has these rockets to fly around the crowds at the Commonwealth games. He has the New Zealand map on his shirt to show that he is the New Zealand Commonwealth games mascot. He is also holding an L&P bottle. I chose an L&P bottle because it was invented in New Zealand.  I made him hold an L&P bottle so when he tired he would drink L&P. Rocket Kiwi’s job is to encourage all athletes and check on the crowds at the Commonwealth games.

Glenn Snyders

Glenn Snyders is a amazing swimmer that represent new zealand. In 2004 Glenn placed 1st place at youth commonwealth games. He is looking forward to coming 1st place in 2014 commonwealth game

Tech @ tamiki college

Some activities from tech could be quite dangerous but still is fun. There 3 groups Food , Hard materials and Graphics . The group I was invited to was hard materials I thought this will be  interesting. Usually in hard materials all you do is carve wood but this time we got to do something with metal.

Mr grundy introduce himself to us ‘’ Hello year 7 and 8 and welcome to hard materials’’. Mr grundy show some pictures of some other people who made some metal objects. First thing we done was plan the item that we were going to design. I was planing on making a cross for my mother.  Mr grundy started to demonstrate how to cut it and carve it. I was going to make a batman logo but it was too late.........
