This was the day when I worked incredibly hard to achieve being first in athletics. This was athletic day, one of the most nervous days that I could ever imagine. Plus cross country, speeches and poems. Obviously I was at school and feeling as apprehensive as I have ever been in a long time. We had to go in separate lines, like year 5 girls in one line and year 5 boys in another line.
P1
The girls had to go first. We had to line up behind the year 4's. There were a bunch of columns that just goes straight a head. I think there was about 7, but I'm not sure. Anyway's we lined up and we had to crouch down, just like how any other athletic athlete would. Then Mrs. Pederson stood on the sideline, she was one of the teachers that counted and said GO! So there we were, getting ready to go and suddenly out of the blue...
P2
"Go"Mrs Pederson, shouted. To be honest, it almost gave me a fright. Obviously at this point I was pretty scared at this point. The thing is normally when I'm scared I run anyways so that was actually great. So all of the girls and I start running as fast as we can. On all the races except for this one I always looked at the side of me. I'm absolutely confident that, by looking to the side it distracts me. So on the other races I came second but this race gets better. Just keep reading and you'll find out.
P3
So the girls and I were sprinting, and on this race I didn't look to the sides. I just kept on looking straight ahead as I ran. During the race I don't even remember thinking about how nervous I was. I just kept saying to myself you can do this. Then little did I know I actually came first, in this race. At the end I was given the little stick that said first place. I was so proud of myself!
Conclusion
I think I did a pretty awesome job! I really enjoyed myself, besides feeling nervous, of course!!

What I Would Expect At A Wedding
At a wedding I would expect, there to be a whole lot of noise. I would expect to see children running around and then they get in trouble. I would probably hear screaming, from little kids, but soon after they will have to settle down.
Also at a wedding I would expect their to be a lot of cultural food. Like Kumara, Potatoes, mussels, oysters and more of course. Especially deserts, like chocolate moose which is my favourite. I would expect like, three or four tables of food.
I would also expect, really loud music. To make it loud, there would probably be speakers all around where the wedding is. I think there would also be a whole group of flowers, that are at each table. I think there would be invitations on a bit of paper that would be laminated.
I think after the ceremony there would be a whole lot of dancing!!

Recount- At The Pump-house
Introduction
First we had to give our permission slips, to go to the pump-house first. Then we went on a protracted bus ride to go to Takapuna, which is where the pump-house is. My class, other classes and I all went. We went yesterday, Tuesday the third of July.
Travel
As you might know all of us went on a bus. There were about 46 children. To be honest every single time we go on a bus, all I can hear is screaming! It was so loud, when I was whispering to Leanah, I couldn't even hear my self. All I could hear was screaming and talking. In the bus you would sit next to a buddy. On our way to the pump-house, I sat next to Grace which is a girl in room 5. Then on our way back I sat next to Sonny which is my friend in my class.
Show
The first show was called The Great White Man Eating Shark, it was out standing. I would love to see it again. The only thing is that I was very uncomfortable sitting on the chair. I folded my legs but I was still uncomfortable. I really liked how they used expression, and how they remembered all their lines. Also how they were very brave, if I was on that stage I would probably forget my lines and be shaking at the same time. One of the reasons are because I'm extremely shy and quiet. There were two more plays that they did and it was called, The Boy With Two Shadows and The Boy That Was Followed Home. I enjoyed all of them and thought that it was amazing.
Actors
At the end of the show we went outside and met all the actors.

Reflections On Term 2 Goals
I will try my best to achieve my goals.
I did achieve my reading goal because by asking questions, I found out the meaning of the word.
I did achieve my writing goal because I used a thesaurus, and that made me focus on using more descriptive words.
I did not achieve my maths goal because I did not try hard enough and focus.
