Matariki Hangi
On Friday the last day of school the whole middle team were having a hangi. First we needed to peel the veges. We bought in potato, pumpkin, kumara and carrot. After that the whole middle team had to go in the pool area to go and see where the Hangi was cooking.We had to wait until it was our turn. When it was our turn we saw this medium sized pot. On the top there were rocks to keep the lid on so the heat would not get out. When it was lunch time the hole middle team were starving we started to line up and try the hangi and I sat by my friend to eat and when I was finished we went to play.

Roll and Write
Today for writing we had to use our imagination. We got to roll the dice three times. The first time choose where our story takes place, the second one our main character and the third one the problem in the story.
I rolled a 6, 4, 4.
Here is my story.
When I walked in the cafe I saw a $2 coin. I picked it up and once I put it in my pocked everything changed. When I walked out of the cafe at once I knew that it was the unlucky $2 coin.I shouldn't picked it up because it changed everything. So I through it away and ran away and didn't come back to the cafe. The next day I searched every wear in my pock and it was not there. When I found it, it came back and I said "how did you get back"? I screamed and I screamed every wear in my house! Once I opened the door, I was about to through the unlucky $2 coin. Then a big splash of goop wet me. And I said "you are very mean little old man"! But I didn't know that it was a fire breathing dragon so when I looked up I screamed! The dragon was angry because I was really mean to him that he blew fire at me. I climbed the tall ladder, jumped in the pool and a man took my unlucky 2 coin and I said "take it if you like"! I called out for the fire breathing dragon. He saw the unlucky 2 coin in the man's hand and the dragon blew fire at him. The man ran away and the dragon followed him every day. Now I am happy but then I found a $2 coin and I picked it up and the story began all again.

Swimming
What I enjoy about swimming is that I am very fast at it and my goal is to work on my freestyle breathing turning my head to the side.
Summer poem
Remember that time
you saw the birds flying across the sky
or people making big splashes in the pool
and the bright shiny sun gliding though the sky.
That was summer.
Remember that time
you felt the hot burning sand over your toes
or the hot sun melting down like an ice cream
and the salty water splash in your face.
That was summer.
Remember that time
you heard the birds whistling in the tree
or people having fun by the sea and crashing into big waves
and waves bowling people down the sea.
That was summer.
Remember that time
you smelt the salty sea mixed with salt and water
or you smell the food in the air when people cook their BBQ
or the smelly fish skeletons on the beach.
That was summer.
Remember that time
you tasted the salty sea on your tounge
the yummy ice cream melting down your chin by the very hot sun
or the lovey muscles when it is cooked.
That was summer.

A Moment in Time-Tabloids
I saw lots of parents helping kids by walking beside them.
I heard lot of kids stamping like elephants.
I felt that it was hard to do kick the ball into the hard thing.
I wondered if my bean bag would land on the dot.
