 Japan

The country I have chosen is Japan and here are two reasons why I have chosen this country.

1. I had always wanted to go there and try their food out but also It is interesting to learn about It.

2. It has many sports that I can't wait to try.

Mrs burt said a karakia next Mrs Burt gave the microphone to Miss Va’Afusuaga and Miss Va’Afusuaga let term by term. When 11 and 12 we went to shot put and tanielu telta was there for Shot Put.

Bush walk Narrtive writing

In the bush where sacrer monsters lived nowhere would go in the bush unless they think they're not scared of the bears then they would go into the bush and try to get a bear, but it would take for long to get a bear. Finally you would catch a bear, but it would be night time already.

In the morning do you have bear for breakfast? I don’t because I don’t like eating bears because they tasted yuck but if you like eating bears and you think you like them then eat them. If you catch heap of bears then you would be the world's greatest bear hunter, but then they would think that you're lying, but then what if it true then take a photo so they know that you're the world's most greatest bear hunter.

Jacob Zombie Run

It was a creepy and stormy night. Sam walked slowly towards the house. Fear dragged him nearer and nearer. What was hiding behind those old scary tombstones?

Walking to the tombstones out of nowhere zombies dug themselves out of the tombstone. Sam looked for brick’s  and chucked them at zombies but they still kept on coming until the bricks were all gone and finished. Sam looked for any weapons then he saw what looked like a sword but it wasn't a sword it was a stick, suddenly ghosts came out of nowhere.

There were too many for Sam to fight but he still kept on fighting until his arms were tired. Sam ducked down and slid behind the zombies and killed them but there were still more ghost killers but they kept on coming and they stopped for no reason they ran fast like lighting. Sam never gave up.

The ghost jumped on Sam and he died because they were biting Sam’s body. Now Sam is gone to heaven and the zombies lived happily ever after.

Running

This is about when bolt win and the ancient champion from the 100 meter race.

Ben Johnson

In 1988 at the Olympic at the 100 meters sprint final the commentators were watching these two fastest men Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis. Ben Johnson broke a world record and came first in the 100 meter sprint final and Ben Johnson won the gold medal, Carl Lewis won the silver medal.

Suddenly Ben Johnson disqualified at the Olympics because Ben Johnson got caught taking steroids then Carl Lewis won the gold medal  At the Olympics.

Decathlon

I learned  lot of things about Decathlon.

The Olympic flame

 The Ancient Greeks started the tradition of having an Olympic flame. In Olympia a sacred flame is lit by the sun's rays and stays alight until the games have ended. The flame symbolized a request for protection from Zeus and the athletes’ struggles for victory.

The modern flame symbolizes the light of the spirit, knowledge and life. To this day, the torch is still lit in Olympia in Greece, then carried by a relay team, passing runner to runner, until it reaches the host-city of the games. There, the cauldron will be lit and stay alight until the closing ceremony.

The bubblegumm

Yesterday we went to the hall to watch the bubblegummers to dance. They perform in front of the whole school and the  whole school liked there dance moves when they were dancing. The bubblegummers was incredible after they were finished. When Jeremy  said “ who loved them” and the whole school said “I love them”!

Ancient Olympics

The Olympics began over two and half thousand years ago in Ancient Greece. In those days Greece was made up of several different states including Athens, Sparta and Corinth, and they were often at war with each other. But when the games were on, they held a truce.

The greatest event was held at a place called Olympia, and this is why the games are called the Olympics. They were held once every four years in honour of Zeus, Lord of all the gods.

Eventually the ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor, Theodosus the First, who was a Christian and didn’t like the games because they were dedicated to a pagan god. But the Olympics were always remembered as a symbol of human achievement and peace.

It was hard because you had to pass to the next person but the defender was blocking our way. We loved Netball.  Thank you Chrissy!

New Zealand flag

New Zealanders have begun voting on whether to change their flag from a design which features the British Union Jack to one that features a silver fern. Some people say that the current flag is similar to Australia flag. Also New Zealand is no longer apart of Britain and we need a new flag that represent our nation.
