Tiakina a Tangaroa protect our seas

On one special morning there was a school that went to the sea. Before they got in the water they had to practice how to swim and how to look after the animals that are in the water.They went and practiced at the swimming pool because they had more space in the pool.

When they had learnt how to swim properly the teacher took the children and they checked that each others clothes were zipped up properly. Soon they went into the water and they saw lots of fish and other things in the water. While they were in the water they didn’t just play around they actually looked at each one of the fish under the water and other things that are in the water.

Cross Country

Finally, the day arrived. We had been waiting for this and the weather was perfect.

On a beautiful sunny Tuesday afternoon, 13th August, we were ready for our Cross Country.  We were so excited that we were going to do cross country. In the morning on Tuesday St Mary’s College students came to our school and they helped us with the Cross Country. Soon we had lunch and Miss G told us that we are having a short time for lunch. Later on when we got our lunch we sat down and ate it and when we finished we went and played. Soon the whole school went to the courts and some parents came to see us run.

We went and found our age group and when we found our age group we started off with the 12 years olds because they have to run two times around the roads. Soon it was the 10 years olds turn, we only had to run 1 time around the roads. It was a long run and while when we were running we saw some flags and St Mary’s College helpers. When we were all running I think we were all tired and some children had a stitch but all of us kept on running back to school. When we came back to the school office Miss G took some pictures of us and Mrs Williams took down our age and then we went back to the courts. I came third in my race in the 10 years old.  After all of the big kids had ran then it was the little kids turn to run. The big kids were cheering for the little kids when they was running.

At end of the day we went back to our classroom we got changed back into our school clothes then we got our bags soon we went home. I felt happy and tired also it was fun on cross country day and I can’t wait to do cross country again.

Once there lived a family with a mother and a father and also they had two children, one of them was a girl and one is a boy. One day they the mother and the father decided to go camping at the bush the children did not want to go to camping because they wanted to watch t.v at home.

Soon their father came home from work in the way back home he brought a new tent for camping so everyone could sleep in it. When dad had got home mum was happy but the children were not happy because they did not want to go camping at the bush because mum and dad would not take the t.v with them because it was too heavy and so much trouble.

They took tinned food, fishing rod, cricket bat, soccer ball, gas cooker and a mat.They soon had packed everything and mum said “don’t leave anything behind, there aren’t any shops”.
