My Holiday Writing

Holidays, a time that is expected to do really fun activities but for me it was totally different which is usual.

My Holidays was a relaxing holiday because I hardly did anything but the thing that I really enjoyed was celebrating my little niece’s birthday, she was turning 3. It was a awesome day to go to the pools because it was such a hot day. We had decided to go to one of the newest pools in Auckland which was Otahuhu Pools. With Otahuhu being a Council pool it was free to enter. My Cousin, my cousin's boyfriend and my niece had came a picked me up so we could meet up with my cousins friend and her kids at the pools.

When had finally arrived at the Pools, I was glad because it started to get really hot. We walked in found our spot inside the pools and went off in the water. It was really refreshing when I was in the pool because the water was really cold. It didn’t last me a while to be cold so I decided to go into the spa pool. After a while I went outside where it was sunny and had a fun water park there. I played with my niece, I could tell that she was really enjoying herself and so was I. After a few hours having fun it was time for lunch,  we had Pizza and Chicken Nibbles.

After an awesome celebration for my niece's birthday we decided to head off because we were all tired from the swim. It was a great day, and also it was a great day to have a swim.

Best Learning in Religious Education 2015

I have learnt a lot of interesting things in R.E this year. The most interesting thing I learnt had to be the story of Fatima which is about 3 Children that Mary had appeared to, she had told them three of her predictions that she had thought would really happen. 2 of those secrets she had told them had happened but the last secret has not been revealed. Pope John Paul the second was about to reveal the third secret but he was attempted to be shot and narrowly missed it. 

My Best Writing of 2015

The All Blacks running onto the field led by Richie McCaw was like we were going to war!!.

4 Years ago My Mum and I went to watch the All Blacks face the Argentine Pumas at Eden Park. I was really excited to have had the special chance to cheer on the All Blacks, “YAAAY!!”.  It was really astonishing to be close up to see the All Blacks perform the Haka, KA MATE, KA MATE, KA ORA!!!. Nigel Owens the Referee of the game had blown his whistle, WEOOOW!!! and the crowd went bizarre.

It was a really close and intense first half, not only were there no points scored but… the defense from both teams was really impressive. The Penalty was awarded to the All Blacks, WEOOOW!! and Piri Weepu the All Blacks scrum half had to chance to boot in 3 points. Nervously the All Blacks fans were waiting for the kick to be converted and Piri Weepu had given the All Blacks the lead 3-0, “YAYYY!!”, I had shouted with great excitement. OOOOOO!!!!, that was a really close decision made by Nigel Owens but unfortunately the All Blacks No.8 Kieran Read’s foot was outside the line and the score remained 3-0 the Pumas were lucky with that decision. Another penalty was kicked by Piri Weepu and the score was 6-0, but not long after the great teamwork from Argentina had paid off with a convincing try by Julio Farias Cabello. So going into Halftime with the boot of Piri Weepu the All Blacks were leading 12-7.

Nigel Owens whistle was blown again to signal the start of the second half. The All Blacks had started the Second Half astonishingly with a huge break by Isaia Toeava with great support from Ma’a Nonu to make great metres. My Mum and I were at the edge of our seats, but indiscipline had costed the All Blacks a penalty which Argentina's fly half had countered on and the score was 12-10.

Later on in the Second Half the All Blacks started to capitalize with a great try from Kieran Read who was doubted a try in the First Half. All Blacks had a real comfortable lead with a lead by 13 points ( 23-10). Now the All Blacks were playing at their best with another great try by Veteran Lock Brad Thorn, so the score now was 33-10 and it remained till the end of the game. WEOOOW WEOOW!! Nigel Owens had blown the whistle to state that the All Blacks were in for a Semi Final booking against the Wallabies.

What a great game!!, a great kicking game from both sides, great team work within the width of the field and great defense. I was really glad that I could be there with my Mum.

Best Learning in Maths 2015

In Maths this year I have learnt a lot of new things. Working with Mrs Tui has been really successful. In particular I have learnt Percentages and Decimals which I thought wasn't possible to learn. I have also learnt the difference from Plane to Solid Geometry, Plane Geometry are two dimensional shapes and Solid Geometry are three dimensional shapes.
