Go for gold

How do we go for gold?

Striving to Succeed and also trying to do your best. How you accomplish a gold medal is that you believe in yourself, and also to never give up. Taking charge of your actions and being focus will get you to your destination. Champions never give up. For starters if you want to reach to the top and archive a gold medal well you have to always turn up to your practices and to have the willpower to stick to your goals, being lazy is one to. Athletes who get to be part of the london olympic is huge it may be very hard but always remember the most important thing is not to win but to take part.

Jesse Owens Inspires Me

Jesse Owens was a great champion, he was born on september 12, 1913, in Oakvill, Alabama. He inspire me because this olympic athlete won three track and field event at the 1933 national  Interscholastic championship while he was in high school. As a young child jesse owens often suffered from sickness by his battles with chronic bronchial congestion and pneumonia.

In the early years people still expected him to work after the illness he had, So at the age seven he was picking up 100 pounds to put food on the table for family, that also inspires me because he had never gave up and he had always strive to succeed , that’s what I call a champion.

When I grow up up I hope I can win gold medal just like Jesse Owens.

Technology At Tamaki College

Last year the year sevens and eights walked to tamaki college every Monday to do Technology.
We would change class ever term, there was food, Science, Electronics, Wood technology, and
graphic. This year now we have change year levels the year eight go on Thursday and the year sevens go on Tuesday the reason why we have change is because the teaches prefer us going separately. Lately this year I have learnt so much, learning how to cook and learning about Japanese and a lot more ahead of me.

I am so grateful to be part of this event and to be learning new thing thanks to all the teaches how give up their time to teach us interesting things.

The most thing I enjoyed  in the holiday was spending time with my family at the biggest theme park in New Zealand called Rainbows End. What a wonderful nice sunny day. Spinning round in circles on the Invader, screaming on the roller coaster, “ARRRRRRR” I thought my holiday was a blast. We ended up having lunch there to. When we were leaving me and my sister played in the game room and got lots of prizes. What a great day we had and I hope I can go there again.    

What Sports Do You Play.

What kind of physical sports do you play? and what one would you prefer best, softball, rugby, Netball or soccer.

Netball is one of my best sports. It is fun and very cool. Getting the optional to play and winning is pretty cool. stepping on the courts gives me butterflies. When you are playing it does get hot and you do get sweeting trust me it's hard work. But at the end you like it or not that you either win or lose, it’s still about having fun and enjoying to learn new skills.

Rugby is also hard work, getting tackled from big bloopers. Training and practicing is what you always do before paying a game. When I first started playing I had butterflies flying around in my stomach like I was about to puke because I was scared and worried I was going to get hurt.

Softball is a great sports to play as well, it’s quite easy, but when it comes to batting and to be honest I don’t bat very far. Not catching the ball when other people batt that’s to is also not my thing either. Enyways As long as i’m trying my best.

Soccer is a very exhausting game to play and very tiring, pretty much all you have to do is kick a muddy ball around. Its is fun to and awesome. Sometimes I am nervous and scared of maybe getting kicked in the leg or something.

Sports is about having fun and enjoying the position that you and your team mates do either winning or losing.

"Camp"

“What a great start for 2012 camp”
The first activity's was baking, and guess what it was well... the one and only thing “SCONES”. The instructions was to get into group of five, the people in my group were , Tyla, Tule, Toreka, Oshania and don’t forget me. We were also told to find a recipe and bake it our self's. The first thing we had to was to clean our hands with the hand sanitizer. We included lemonade drink, flour, and pinch of salt, and a bottle of cream.
When we had finally finished the baking we had put in the oven with it Pre-heat it to 220°C. waiting and waiting For the scones to cook, well we then thought instead of standing by the waiting for a long time that we should do some cleaning up. I was the washer and Tule was the dryer. In a split of time our scones were ready. We ran to the kitchen and checked it well at first we thought it was burning but we had realise the time was a bit early to have check. so after that we had ended up eating sum and saving some for the others for lunch “It was yummy”.

Netball

Arriving at the Netball courts burning, burning, so hot that I was about to explode.
With sweat dripping on the side of my face towards my feet.

Seeing the other class leave full of excitement but at the same time they were exhausted. Then it was our turn to play netball we also met a coach named Liz.
she was also a netball player her self.

We then started to practice our drills to improve our skills we started with passing the ball to our partners. It was pretty fun and quite easy. Ones we knew all the moves and trick on how to play Liz told us it was time to play a real game.

Ones we started, some of us we wearing bibs and others were waring no bibs well we started by getting in fourths and shearing the court, we all got quarter of the court. At the end, my team ended up winning.

over all we all had a great day with Liz and we learned and drills and new skills .
