I have loved all the time with the girls like Caitlyn, Emily, Jess B, Jess G and Sammie and i will really miss  them a lot they have made my time here much much better i can not say that about the boys though. I have a lot of good memories some funny ones and some bad ones. that i will always remember like the water fights we have done and JessB and I walking all through the mud at school and all the camps i have had with them my favorite camp was the hanmer camp.

Thank you Miss J, and Miss Bell you have been great teachers and I will really miss you they are amazing teachers they have been my favorite teachers  that i have had and Miss Bell’s matching jewelry and thank you to Miss D for planning and organising some the fun school events that we have done.

Gold bar achievement 4 - Perseverance

Set yourself an endurance event time goal (maybe you want to beat your last time) and then train to achieve it. e.g. cross country, triathlon, or a cycle event


My achievement was beating my last time swimming. I know i bet my time because i did much better than the last time.

Gold bar achievement 3 - Honesty

Do at least three random acts of kindness. My first act of kindness is visiting an elderly person.

Gold bar achievement 2- Perserverance

My achievement for this task was to write a piece of writing to enter into a writing competition. This type of writing was poetry. We had to pick something to do a poem about and we had to enter the poem into a writing competition.

Gold bar achievement 1 - Perserverance

My first gold bar achievement was to improve my swimming and set a distance goal. My goal was 2km and i accomplished that by doing midland line swimming we had to swim 10 laps of the pool everytime we when swimming 1km = 40 lengths and 2km = 80 lengths. we had to do this in the blackball pool and i accomplished swimming 80 lengths.

My reflection on my writing

Have a look at my reflection.

My Reflection

My Writing

One summer morning two cercle faced tall twins called mia and dave decided to go out for a walk in the forest next to there house. They walked down to the track and started walking to the sign they had brought food, water, phone's, map, rope and a rain jacket  so they were prepared for the walk. “Ok let's go” said dave.

As they headed further into the forest they started to see lots of gorse and stuff they had not seen on this walk before but they keep walking just thinking it was overgrown. Then they come to a cliff they have been walking for about  3 hours now so they call their mum and dad to see if there is meant to be a cliff and that they have just messed it but there is no reception “why is there no reception out here there always is” and that's when they realized they were lost they must have walked of the track without releasing.

They keep on walking and then out of the blue dave falls of the cliff only holding on to a branch mia just stands there in fright thinking what she can do the she peers over the edge and grabbed a big branch and put it down to him but it was to small he could not reach it “what can i do” she thought to herself. Then she remembers a rope in her bag just incase anything happened so she immediately pulls out her rope and hooked him around it and she pulls him up she nearly dropped him put she ganes grip and pulls him up the cliff.

So they look at the map and they see somewhere 10km away from the track there is a cliff It says it is very dangerous “let's walk the way of the map”. So they look where the start of the track was and try to go in that direction. Then they find the track they can see the birds and the trees and the cleared space where the track was. Then they see the sign there back they are so happy “Yay” Mia says in a cheerful voice. So they walk back to the house to see  what there is to do at home.

So the had some ups and downs and a lot of disasters. They had to persevere through it all dave falling down a cliff and them getting lost in the woods where things could of gotten bad but they got through it and in the end it was all worth it.

The End

My poem

My poem

Red poppies all over the ground

Blending in with all the blood

People dying all around

Gasping for their last breath

Bombs flying past bullets getting shot

Families wondering when they will be back home.

My Military poem

Poppies swaying in the wind

People wondering if this will be the end

The desperation to see their families again will kill them before injury

Blood dripping on the floor blending with the poppies on the ground

door swing back and forth as the gunshots fly bye.

Camp

Camp 2017 we went to punakaiki. It was so much fun we went caving, stand up paddle boarding (sup), bush walking, bomb fire, planting trees and talent shows. I thought that stand up paddle boarding would be hard but it was not that hard I did not fall of the paddle board but I did fall out of the kayak because someone in my group said it was the stable but it was not. The water was so cold and salty and it had eels and fish in it. After that we had a sand and water fight this was so much fun and it all started because we were making hair out of mud for our leader and jess go some on me so I got her back and we all started throwing it at each other the we went into the water to have a photo and jess felt something slimy so we both ran out of the water screaming and everyone else was looking us like we were weirdos and then i got back into the water and said to her that it was just a rock and everyone started laughing hahaha. I also thort that caving would be soooo scary and bad but it was soo much fun we had to walk through cold water and slid down hill and go through tight gaps some of it was sooo scary. We even had to climb up like a cliff thing in the cave. I HAD SOOOO MUCH FUN AT CAMP!!!!!!!!!!

Uniforms and Nonuniforms have pros and cons for school.

Both Uniforms and Nonuniforms are suitable to wear at school.

I'm going to discuss the good and bad aspects of wearing Uniform and Nonuniform.

Primarily uniforms are good when you go for a school trip because you will be able to spot the kids easily. However if you get your uniform dirty or muddy you might not be able to wash it unless you don't wear your uniform because it might be raining and you might not have time to. Furthermore you don't have to waste time picking out what  your going to wear for the day because you have to wear your  uniform . On the other hand it can get gross and smelly because you are wearing it for most of the week . So these are the good and bad aspects of wearing your uniform to school.

Primarily not wearing your uniform when you get all dirty it doesn't matter that much because you can wear whatever you want. However you can’t spot the children as easy as you could not if they were wearing uniform because they are all wearing different things. Furthermore you don’t have to spend more money on buying a uniform for school because you will already have clothes at home. Although some times you might spend most of your time picking something out in the morning so you waste your time because there might be something you want to wear but you can’t find it. So these are my reasons why not wearing a uniform has pros and cons.

Both uniform and non uniform are good for wearing at school it really depends on what you are doing there because you do lots of different things at school some things might be getting muddy and other times it will be sitting in side and doing work. If you are going on a trip to another school or something like that wearing uniform would be best because you will know that’s your school but you can get it dirty. If you're not wearing a uniform you can get your clothes dirty because you can just wear something else the next day but it can be hard to pick out your clothes sometimes and also it might be hard to spot your school.

So these are the good and bad aspects of wear a uniform or not wearing uniform at school.
