Tennis

Wednesday morning, walking onto the courts there were nets and rackets and also tennis balls, and then I realised the sport we were doing tennis. I thought it was still badminton but then I remembered that it finished sometime last term.

Getting started on our first lesson, it took ages to learn one simple lesson which was holding the racket properly. Also learning how to do 30 bounces on the ground and also bouncing on the racket. It was really confusing for me cause the first time I tried it I sort of got it wrong.

There was one game that we played and that was the king of the court. It was like a challenge sort of. Most of us got to be the king, even some of us didn’t even participate, that was most of the girls.

Even though we had half an hour of tennis, nearly every one had fun, well I think. Can’t wait for the next lesson which is next week. Learning more and more of lesson for this term.

New Zealand's Victory

Sunday night there was a rugby world cup final between
New Zealand and France. Our Country has been waiting for this opportunity for the last 24 years at least. It’s the second half of the game and only 2 minutes on the clock. GAME OVER!!! New Zealand won 8-7 just by 1 point.

Walking up onto the plat form France went to go get there rewards for second place. After their team walked off the plat form and All Blacks went up and got their medals and we congratulated by their fans in the stadium. Richie Mc Caw held up the Web Ellis cup.
Everybody was proud of him even my family at home was extremely proud that our country won.

Even though we won the rugby world cup tournament, I wondered who would be still around for 4 more years and will stay and establish their goals and make our country proud. Even though France lost I am still proud of them making a great start right through to the end. I can’t wait for the next rugby world cup so the All Blacks can make to the end again.

My Responsibilities

My Responsibilities

There are heaps of responsibilities that I have at school like being a monitor and even being a normal student. I have been in kapa haka for ever since I started school.

Being a monitor is really a big responsibility of mine cause if I don’t do it right it’s all my fault. There are only 2 people allowed in the resource room. Which is Chelsea and I. Some times there would be a bundle of books to do and it will be pretty tough. Some times we do it at lunchtime everyday.

Kapa Haka is part of my culture and it is more important to me than anything else apart from doing my job. Apart from all the silliness in our group we still work together as a group.  When it’s time to perform all of us are ready. I love those times when we got to perform.

Even though I have big responsibilities I enjoy having them unless I do something boring!!!!
But apart from that I really enjoy being a student at Pt England School.  These responsibilities help me with my learning and education.

Being a Monitor

Being a Monitor

My job is being a book room monitor. I usually do it every lunch time only if I have nothing to do in the resource room. There are only  2 people allowed in the resource room. Everyday it’s Chelsea and I doing it no one else.

Sometimes it could be really tricky, because sometimes there will be heaps of stuff to put away. Especially the books, sometimes there will be a bundle of books stacked up in boxes.

Yesterday Chelsea and I found more books in a box hidden under the desk. Soon enough we had to put them away. Hope there won’t be that much books when we go back to do our job.
