In the beginning

This term the class made something about the Legend In the Beginning. Lukas, Lawrence and I made an animation. There was 6 gods but we only used 4. Tu the god of war, Tane the god of the forest, Tawhirimatea god of wind and Tangaroa the god of sea. Their mother and father were so close together and the gods were cramped. Tane had to push them apart.

I also made a mask of Tawhirimatea.  It is so cool.

Easter bunny art

Last week the class made Easter bunny art. We used sharpie for the patterns and marbling for the background.  We also added some whiskers and some glasses.

Swimming

Triathlon

Ohaeawai  School triathlon

“WOO WHOO,” I yelled.  I can’t wait until the class goes to the Triathlon. “It is us next,” screamed Lawrence. “I can’t wait,” I whistled.  Miss gardner screeched, “line up room one and two.”   I sprinted as fast as I could. Then Miss Gardner handed us over to Mrs Stevenson. She put the class in order. Room two girls line up here and room two boys line up. Room one girls line up here and room one boys line up here. Mrs Stevenson did everyone and we were last Mitchel, Lukas, Sunita and I were last.

Finally she called us, we all lined up on the seat over the crystal clear water. Mrs Henderson said, “go!!” Off we went. I shivered in the cold cold water and my legs were so sore from all that kicking but I had to carry on.

Next was the biking we had to go as fast as flash down Mr Lawrence's driveway and back to the field. Then we dropped off our bikes and did the run.

Around the back and up a big hill, around a corner to the finish line. I had finally done it after all that time.

Mrs Whitelaw gave me some milk and I got an apple. As I finished it I saw my mum she said that I did great. I saw the hamburgers and I lined up. They were so scrumptious that I gobbled it up in one bite.
