A Little Rascal arriving at home.

3.11.22 Term 4 Week 3

A little Rascal

12th of August… It starting out as a normal day! I was hoping someone would be arriving today but my dad crushed those hopes. He was saying that the “Someone” would come tomorrow. But I was catching on to him. You see that “Someone” was in the hospital FOR A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME! I have been waiting for him ever since, he was in the hospital.

 

So, at around 8:30 we take off to school. Arrive at around 8:45 and play with my friends until 8:55. Lets fast forward to 12:40. My jaw was hurting SUPER bad. It was like a hammer was repeatedly hitting it!

 

I thought for a second… And decided to go to the sick bay. Business was done and my dad was on his way for me. He picked me up and he went to get some tape. After 5 minutes he was done and we launched off to home. Little did I know the biggest surprise was waiting for me…

 

I opened the door. I became a bit suspicious when my dad said that the “Someone” would be coming in two weeks even though he said before that he would be coming today! Any ways I was really happy to see my mom return from the hospital aswell! But that was the breaking point! 

 

I WENT IN THE LIVING ROOM AND FINALLY SAW HIM! He was sleeping in the crib! After two months, he was finally home.

ATHLETICS DAY!!

2.11.22 Term 4 Week 3

Athletics!

Wow! This Monday was filled with jumping, running, sweating throwing and more! DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY THAT WAS!? ATHLETICS DAY!!

I must’ve had bad luck because I forgot it was athletics day AND… I ARRIVED LATE! When I went inside the classroom everybody told me that they had thought I skipped athletics day! I was like “What is this!” I would never skip a sports day! Personally I wouldn’t have allowed that but I let it slide just that time!

Anyways, once we went , the back field we got in our groups. A girl was mocking me for being a 10 yr old. I just ignored her and went on with my day… Our first activity was a long jump and I got wrecked by other people. But it still was pretty interesting!

After long jumps we rotated to Sprints. This was my favourite activity in athletics. It was fun and tiring at the same time! We made lanes and after waiting for 5 mins my lane’s race was about to begin. They said that the second and first will go to the second race… BANG! The wood blocks smacked together and we all started sprinting like the wind! I was about to finish second but something horrible happened. My leg started cramping like craaazy! I ran slower, and slower and slower. Until the race ended and I got 4th place. I didn’t care too much but I still would’ve been happier if I got Second or First!

Once the Fun and tiring sprints were finished We were throwing circles as far as we could! People were having wars! They were throwing piles of hay at each other. Someone put some grass in my mouth and I got revenge by putting some in his hoodie. It was so hilarious though! People were waiting for 20 minutes until their turn. When it was finally my turn I didn’t try that much because my arm hurted. The ball didn’t go too far nor too close! I didn’t get a position but I had LOAAAAAAAAAAAAAADS OF FUN!!!!!

 

Winter Sports Day

23.9.22 Term 3 Week 9

 

Sports Day

4 Week ago, Approx we had our winter sports day. I was in the soccer team and we didn’t practice that much so we knew that we would have lower standards.

Once we arrived to the place everybody was surprised with how giant it was. There was a lot of fields even on hills. You could walk up a mountain and there would be two fields. At the bottom there was A HUGE TURF! And two grass fields. We had two teams from the people who volunteered to be in the soccer team. Team 1 and 2.

I was the captain of team 2. We had six games each and we lost all of them unfortunately but we got two goals. The games were fun and my team said it was great!

 

Netball Games

Term 3 Week 6 2.9.22

Netball

Today we watched netball games. It was the last block and we had fun!

There were two games, one on the left and one on the right. At first we were sitting on the left side! It was a little boring but I was cheering on my classmates! Once I knew that we could move places I went to the right side!

I didn’t believe my eyes! There were adults/teachers! Right as I put my eyes on the court I saw Mr. Wikaira running on the right side then someone passed to him and then *DUNK*! He had such amazing skills. And then Mr.Henderson was going crazy!

At first the teachers were going really easy but then later on they were popping off! Even off the court we were having fun. Unfortunately one of my friends fell down and had a gruesome injury. I felt bad so I tried to help him up but an adult came and escorted him to the sick bay.

It was boring at times and fun at different times but overall my rating is a 7.5/10! It’s high but if my friend didn’t annoy me then it would’ve been a 9.21/10.

It’s time to do Gymnastics, Hello Tri Star Gym!

29.8.22 Term 3 Week 6

Tri Star Gymnastics

Flipping, swinging, jumping, balancing and a whole lot more! It sure was a fantastic time at Tri Star Gym. We went on a bus with tons of loud Year 5-6’s and Year -3-4’s! We (Room 11) went with Room 26 so it was even more of a hassle with some of those naughty kids. I’m just joking, but some of them were pretty cheeky!

Singing here and there, I got annoyed with “The Wheels on the Bus” song. They would just not stop!! At least the bus driver was nice and my friends were with me in the back.

Once we arrived people were excited, We were jumping around and getting growled at by the teachers! We went in and waited for 10 minutes so people were playing hand games with each other and exploring the place. I was wondering what I should do while we were waiting. It was pretty boring because all we would do is just repeatedly play hand games. I was waiting so I could get up and put my beanie back. 

One of the instructors then announced we could go in. It was like a stampede! People were running in but the teachers were stopping them and bringing them to the back of the line! I was 3rd in line and was pretty surprised…

Once we actually went in, people were jumping and running on the bouncy mat. An instructor said we are going to play a game. If she says motorway we run, if she says reverse then we walk backwards, if she says freeze we stop, if she says car crash we roll on the ground and if she says speed limit we walk. We all started running and then she said car crash, everyone immediately fell on the floor. It went silent… SPEED LIMIT!!!! It was like a walk in the park! Freeze!! If one muscle moves you will be out…

She then said “Sit down in the closest white line beside you”. I was in a group with some of my friends. We first went to a balancing test. I was scared because Balancing is kind of, not my thing! Once I went on to the beam… OH MY GOSH! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY! I was standing on one foot for seconds! Then I progressed to this beam on the floor which we had to vault over. I actually liked the course because we could do tricks on the beams! At the end we had to jump on a mattress. I loved it.

Our instructor then told us to go to the next place. This was in my top 15 most fun courses that I have ever done!!!! There were trampolines, Swing’s and more. So we started with some rings that we had to swing on. Then we rolled on a blue parallelogram. Went on the Trampolines which was my favourite part. You can literally jump so high! Then the most exciting part! FOAM PIT!!!!!!! It wasn’t that fun but it was still cool.

Once we did it like 5 more times we went to the next level. It had a big wide range of equipment. We started on a circle thing that we had to stand on and then went to the other side. Then we had to do a back roll. Yeah, It was hard and I could not do it. So I decided to skip. And this next part had bars where we had to use our hands to go to the other side without touching the ground. After that my favourite part! Get off the floor because it is Lava! It was literally a red mat with objects that we had to step on in order to reach the other side. It was blazing hot with molten lava bubbling underneath me. I was scared but the “Brave and the Mighty Bas-… UGH, Fine! I was scared and I almost fell over because I was lazy but my sloppy personality didn’t get over me. I went across that pit 187 more ti- DUDE, Stop interrupting! Fine, I went across it 2 more times. Is that what you want to know??

Alright, that was a roller coaster of emotions but this one is going to hook you in! It was like a trampoline park. So on my first try I went on the tramps and jumped. Then we had to jump into hula – hoops. Whenever we did one round on the course we had to do a different way of jumping on the tramp! Star Jumps, Squats and backward jumps. I had a fun time and then they announced that we had to go back on the bus!

The way back on the bus felt quick and it was pretty fun! No singing and I had my family friend next to me. I looked out of the window and instantly we were at school! What a fun experience!

Smart Collaboration

18.8.22 Term 3 Week 4

Smart Collaboration

 

Collaborating is awesome. I love working in a group especially when doing animations. That’s exactly what I did today with my fellow friends Zake and Sami. We made an animation of somebody playing a game. Then in the game they became a pro. I got some screenshots and personally had a lot of fun.

Someone was sitting on a couch playing a stick man video game. It was kinda rushed but we had a good time collaborating. We gave suggestions to each other and commented on each other’s creations.

You can see my screenshots below. Give me some feedback and tips on collaborating.

The Ako Hiko Podcast

12.8.22 Term 2 Week 3

Faisal interviewing Me!

So yesterday I was on the Ako Hiko podcast. Faisal was interviewing me and we had a lot of fun! We asked questions, had some chats and talked about our hobbies. Overall I had a great time and we were really into it. If you want to see the Podcast scroll down to see it, and you can see Faisal’s blog page.

We had a whole script and I was a little bit confused at one point. It was way more complicated than I had thought and I was really overwhelmed. On our first “test try” we got a little bit of mistakes but when we did it one more time, Phil sure was impressed! I also was impressed with how confident we were. 

I decided to check out the Podcast and I saw people were commenting on the interview. People were saying how confident we were and how good we did. I totally agreed and was underestimating how much good feedback we would get.

I was really happy that I agreed to do the interview and would have regretted it if I hadn’t. I would be stuck doing maths ALL DAY! Doing nothing but sitting and talking. I was lucky Faisal got me out of that classroom!

I am just really grateful for Ako Hiko bringing me on to the Podcast. I am honoured to be on the podcast and I am super happy. THANKS TO YOU READING THIS TOO! Please give me feedback on my interview and check out other podcasts and Faisal’s blog!
