Swimming Sports

On Tuesday we had swimming sports for our houses. When everyone was at the Lido it was full of College Street kids.  Before I went to the Lido I put my togs on at school but some people got changed in to their togs at the Lido. When everyone sat down at the pool the teacher explained the rules to us. The people who couldn't swim in the deep pool went to the lower leisure pool because it wasn't so deep.

When the races started everyone cheered for their houses.  There are four houses and my house is Kea. My house colour is green.  I only wanted to go in one competitive event and one fun event. I entered the flutter board race and the relays that everyone had to do. Both my events were at the end of the swimming sports. I waited patiently until my events started.  It felt like it took forever!

In the middle of the swimming relays, Weka was coming first and my house, Kea was coming second.  I didn't have a clue where the other houses were coming. When I did the flutter board race, I came third. In my other event I didn't know where I came until the end. Weka won the relays, Kea came second, then Takahae was third and Tui came last. Everyone had a good time, even the lower leisure pool had fun.

When we were getting changed, the toilets were very loud because all the kids were talking and shouting and being silly. After everyone got changed, we went outside and got class photos at Ongley Park. Boys High were running their road race and that meant my big brother was there but I couldn't see him.

Hurricanes

                                                                        Hurricanes

The Hurricanes came to our school.  They are one of the best super rugby teams. They came because one little girl entered us in a competition. Our school won out of hundreds of kids. When the Hurricanes were coming everyone was excited. Everybody waited nervously.

 The whole of CSNS was sitting and standing in the hall. Even More FM were there! Suddenly, Mr Valentine ran across the hall and when he passed us, we had to do the Mexican Wave and scream “Hurricanes!” While we waited, the teachers picked some music which boys sang too. It was really funny.

 Then, the moment we had been waiting for, happened. Four hurricanes entered the hall. Everyone got so excited they screamed so loud I covered my ears up. The Hurricanes were waving at us and smiling. Then everyone said "hi" to the four Hurricanes.I thought all the Hurricanes were coming to our school but only four Hurricanes came to our school. I was a bit  disappointed.

The first thing they did was tell us their names. Lots of people were struggling to see, especially people at the back because lots of people were standing in front but luckily I was tall enough to see. During that I wanted to go to the front and sit down but I couldn't. When my teachers placed me at the back so I didn't move I stayed where I got moved. Even though we only had four of the Hurricanes, I still liked it and I hope the Hurricanes come to our school again, and then all the Hurricanes could come to our school!

Going Tramping At Camp

Before going on the tramp I set some goals for myself. I wanted to complete the tramp and I wanted all my classmates to complete it. I also wanted to have some fun while doing the tramp.

Before we left I needed a couple of things and the another parents and my classmates and myself had to pack our lunch boxes and fill our water bottles up. We had to wear shoes that could get muddy, and water proof shorts and just incase we had to take a rain coat. The teachers had to bring some safety gear incase someone got hurt while doing the tramp.

Before I went tramping I had to make sure I was hydrated and I had a little snack to eat so I wasn't leaving with a empty stomach. Than make sure I did some stretches and that my body was the right temperature by having the right clothing on for the walk.


I started the hike and about twenty minutes in my body temperature started rising so I took off my jumper and had a drink of water.  It was hard going up and because some hills were very steep and when we came down the hill lots of people slipped.

I felt joy in my body that I completed the tramp!
