My Day at the Cross Country!

Woosh off we go racing!!

We are listening to Mr Larson our Principal!
Here I am with Mikayla, Ava and Rebecca, these are my friends!
I am stretching with all of my friends and class mates!
Here we are stretching with Mrs Brown!

I am very PROUD of Mikayla and Ava my friends because they got first and second place! Even though I didn't get first place I still said well done to them, I was a little bit disappointed though that I didn't come first. I thought about it though and felt happier after my sausage and that was when I congratulated them!

I now understand how they must feel in the Olympics, Sara Walker must have felt the same as me when she didn't get a medal (she is a BMX rider). She probably trained harder than I did though.

I realised it is important to keep trying your best and to be the sort of friend who says well done to people.

I had an AWESOME time though because running in it was cool and I had a T-shirt on that had stars all over it and my Mum, Dad and family name as they sponsored me for the run.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think!

My 8th Birthday!!




















I had a wonderful time at my 8th birthday party at the pool. It was family fun day and Trev form 89.4 got all of my friends to sing over the microphone to me. They were embarrassed they said to me. I felt funny inside when they were singing to me.

The birthday cake was wonderful one bit of it was a basketball court from high school musical and the other bit was a pool.

We played high school musical games when we got back home where we had to guess who said what line in the movie. It was hard a little bit sometimes. We also played statues and danced. We also played a game where you had to hum the tune and the others had to guess, it was easy!!

I also had a family whanua tea that night, we always have them on our birthdays where all of our family come together and eat, laugh and play.

Some of my friends couldn't come so I had another special time for them at the pool on a Friday night and came home for fish and chips.

THANK YOU everyone for the wonderful presents and party!!
