Australia vs All Blacks

Image result for all blacks 2015

I think the All Blacks will win because they are good. Dan Carter might be the player of the day. I predict the score will be 30-20. 5 tries,1 conversion and 1 penalty kick. Wish you all the best good luck.
GO ALL BLACKS!

Entertaining day

Entertaining day

Monday morning was time for the sports camp children to go. Our principal planned for it since term one. So all the non sports camp kids all got split up into room ten and under. I was so disappointed because I only had one friend that was in the same class as me. But there was only one day out of the whole week that was the best and it was Thursday.

Thursday morning all the non sports camp people were part of a show. It was held in our school hall. When we entered the hall and we were introduced by a lovely lady named Max. She was the lady that put together the group. Then she introduced us to the dancers, their names were Mikey,Justin,Toto and Favta. We played a quick game of Pukana and Bus Stop and after we  played those games we got split into 3 groups because there were fifteen of us. I was in Toto’s group with Asiana, Megan, Lorenzo and Tane. We practised until morning tea because we all wanted it to be perfect.

After morning tea, we had to line up and greet all the classes including the teachers. I was getting nervous because I was frightened that everyone was going to laugh at me. As we all sat down, I started to have butterflies in my stomach. The show that Mickey,Toto,Justin and Favta was about puppets and it was really interesting and funny. They had a magic ball and they threw it to anyone in the hall who put their hand up.

When it was my group to get up and dance we all went up and it was frienting but I think we did a good job then we all came together (as in the group’s that had to dance) and we did another dance. As soon as we finished the show all the classes left and we had to clean up and help Mikey,Justin,Toto and Favta take their stuff into their van.

Finally after we helped them get their stuff into their van we went with Miss Lammas to do some sports. I felt very relaxed when it was over because I knew we didn't have to do it again.

Should lunchtime be shortened?

Dear Mr Hendricks


Should lunchtime be shortened?


I think that our lunchtime should not be shortened by half an hour. The reasons are we should just leave it as it is because it is boring at home and there is nothing to do. Also I think it is not a clever idea to go home half an hour early because when you're the only child you want to stay at school with your friends and play games with them  and it’s more fun to stay with friends than go home.


Firstly it’s boring at home because I have no brothers or sisters. So I think that lunch time should just stay an hour so I can spend time with my friends and play handball and other stuff with them than be at home bored out of my mind. My opinion is that fifteen out of twenty-four children in my class don’t go to sport in the afternoon so there is really no point to shorten our lunchtime.


Lastly lunchtime should not be reduced to half an hour because some parents have work and they won't be able to pick their children up and some parents don’t want their children to be home alone.


In conclusion, for the above reasons, I believe that lunchtime shouldn’t be shortened.


Yours sincerely
