X-Country

Walt: structure a recount

Last week on Friday we had our cross country running race. It was really hot, but really muddy and wet. Have you ever done cross country before?

Before the year 6 girls raced we played games and chatted a lot. I was really nervous, but excited at the same time. I watched some of the little kid’s racing and it was interesting. I enjoyed playing hand games with my friends. I was happy seeing my Mum my aunty my nana and my sister coming to support me. Suddenly Mrs Nua  came and called the year 6 girls to follow her to the start line. On Your Marks….. Get Set…... GO! The clapper went CLAP!

I sprinted my way around the first cone it was muddy and went all over my legs, SPLAT! I ran on the bike track and out of the gate we went. It was so muddy I thought my shorts were covered in mud. I found it hard running in the mud because my feet kept getting stuck. I was tired and exhausted I didn’t want to stop at all so I continued.

Near the finish line my friend Amelia was in front of me I wanted to gas her before we finish the race. I sprinted my hardest and boom I just got past and came 6th, Amelia came 7th. I was so happy because I completed the race. I went straight to the water station because I was thirsty,and then went to my mum and sister and said hi, they said that they were very proud of me.

I learnt that I should not sprint in the start and jog then sprint the other half. I will do that next time or I will just practice more and sprint the whole way next year. I will also try harder so I can get closer to the person that’s in the lead.

What is a Estuary?

                                                           What is a Estuary?

The Estuary is a river that leads to the ocean and opens up. It's also when fresh water meets salt water.  So pretty much the tidal mouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream. Here is a picture to show you underneath. In Omaru creek in New Zealand Auckland Glenn Innes the water in Omaru creek was polluted. People are the only ones that may have polluted our Tamaki creek. It is Anzac day and we can serve New Zealand by cleaning our creek to make it cleaner than it is.

Eating Insects.

WALT engage the reader by using interesting vocabulary.  

Have you ever ate dead crickets before? Well Thursday morning it wasn’t an ordinary day. That morning we found out what we were doing I was scared. I couldn’t believe it we were eating dead crickets. We were having a PES Fear Factor.

Mrs Stickland said “On your marks get set GO”. I was too scared to touch or eat one. My friends grabbed one and just chucked it in their mouth. I was like are you serious, I kept repeating myself what does it taste like is it yuck.  I was trying to force myself to eat at least one. But NO I didn’t.

I would like to try it but I just need time.  I never knew my friends will just pick a dead cricket up and eat it.  I would only eat one but not another.  While I was sitting down  I saw this boy Nytram just take a bunch and threw the entire crickets in his mouth. Next he puked.

Task Description:Our class ate crickets it was yuck!
