Cross Country

On the day of Nelson Central School’s Cross Country race, all of the children were competing. When the bell rang room five got ready for the Cross Country. Room five went to the front field. The year four boys sat together on tarpaulins.

The year six girls were first. The year six boys were second and then it went year five girls, year five boys, year four girls and then it was our turn.

When it was the year four girls turn, I had butterflies in my stomach. When Jonathon smashed the two pieces of wood together, I ran as fast as I could with Gyung and Israel. When I came to the finish I came 20^th. Last year I came 22^nd and I was happy to hear that.

After the Cross Country room five went to class. The Cross country was the happiest day of this year.

Kanagroos

Kangaroos are large animals that you see in zoos and in Australia.
Joeys are baby kangaroos. Baby kangaroos are about one centimetre long. Joeys climb into their mother’s pouch to get milk to live. In five months time the joey pokes his head out.
Kangaroos are not mammals, they are marsupials.
When their mothers are getting chased they drop their joey in a good hiding spot. As soon as she can she looks for her joey.

The Wreck of the Delaware

One morning, in 1863 there was a girl called Huria. She was in bed and there was a terrible storm. Huria looked out to the Delaware boat. She saw the Delaware had crashed into the rocks. She ran out to the beach with her companions to save the crew of the Delaware. One of the crew said, “I will swim to shore,” but he crashed into the rocks. Huria swam to the boat and back to shore with the rope. The crew climbed across the rope. Huria and her companions got a gold or silver watch and that’s how the Delaware was wrecked.

How the Kiwi Lost its Wings.

A long time ago the kiwis didn’t live on the floor. Kiwis flew in the trees and sucked on flowers. But then the bad bugs came to eat the forest and they ate all of the plants. Then Tane Mahuta called all the birds to a meeting.
Tane Mahuta asked cuckoo. “No, I’m building a nest in the trees. I cannot leave it.” “Will you morepork?” “No, I love the light. I cannot leave it for thee forest floor.” Then will Tui? “I don’t know the enemies I will make.” “Then will you Pukeko help the forest?” “No. I like to keep my feet dry up in the trees.” “Will you Kiwi?” “Yes, I will.”
Then Tane said to all the birds “You all shall be punished. Cuckoo, you will lay your eggs in other birds’ nests and you Pukeko, you will live in the swamps. The you Tui. You shall have a white feather on your neck. Bellbird, you will sing only in the morning.” “Oh Kiwi, you’re so kind even though I have to take your wings and you have to live on the forest floor every day.”
And that’s how the Kiwi lost its wings.

Going to the pool.

On Saturday I went swimming with my sister and one of my friends came swimming too. But before we went swimming we climbed a tree.
