Aussie Rule

Have you ever played a famous Australian game. We had been learning the skills required to play Aussie rule.

The ball we use in Aussie rules is called a kiwi kick ball. It is a very essential and special piece of equipment to Aussie Rules. There is laces stitched on to the ball, and there is different colours on the ball.

Well one of our lesson was the bounce pass. It was a bit awkward because when I bounced the ball it was unpredictable where the ball will go. It was unexpected how to hit the ball to make a bounce pass.

My favourite thing in Aussie rule was the chest pass.

Cross Country Run


The day had come to do cross country. We had to run in the forest. It looked extremely dangerous and scary. It was windy and it looked like it was going to rain but it didn't.

It was hard to run because there were streaks and old steps. There was a smelly muddy creek and broken branches, there were zigzagging tracks and there was broken branches and old bridges.

I was nervous and scared that it might be scary. I jogged for the first bit, but I walked half way and then ran and ran. I was huffing and puffing at the end. I was so exited when I crossed the cross country finish line.

Mesmerising Australia

Its only a short hop skip and a jump across the Tasman Sea to Australia, but there is a world of difference in what you will find there.

People in Australia are multi-cultural. The first people in Australia were the Aborigine people, who were the first people to touch the land of Australia. They are Australia’s important people.

Australia's unique animal's are Koala’s, Kangaroo’s and Platypuses. These animals are native to Australia. The unique animals are very lucky to be in Australia.

Australia's Climate is predominantly arid which means it’s hot and dry. The coast in Australia is hot and very warm, it is also humid.

So if your fortunate enough to make the journey, you will need to allow plenty of time to explore all that Australia has to offer.

Badminton Writing


I never knew what badminton was. Listening to Mr Marks say you kids have badminton after morning tea, I was shocked and worried that it would be a running game. After morning tea we had to line up and wait for Mr Marks to come. When Mr Marks came we went to the hall and sat down. The badminton coach called Lorene was telling us the rules about badminton.

First we had to get a racket and we had to take a shuttle. We had to hit the shuttle with the racket. I kept on dropping the shuttle. Next we had to get a partner and one person had to get the cone, and the other person has to have a racket and a shuttle. The first person hits the shuttle to us and we have to catch the shuttle with the cone. Then we swap around. There is another skill that we have to hit it two times and we have to hit it under our legs.

The the other time we went to badminton we had 3 small courts and 1 big court. We had 6 people in our group. That was Mya, Tashell, Lisa, Taamai, Doris and me. There are 4 people in front of the net. If they miss it, it is another persons turn. When it was my turn I had to keep my eye on shuttle in order to hit it. It was so much fun playing Badminton.

Snowy Day At New Zealand

When the people drove on the snowy road it was slippery. They have to drive their cars carefully and serious. The cars was heavily coated with snow.

At School

Do you know what we do at school. At morning teas and lunch times we go to the library. We put away the books where their supposed to go, and we clean the shelves. The library monitors are Jouan, Mohammed, Hajera, Moala, Britney and I. Hajera is the head librarian.

We sometimes play games, like we get a green sticker and we have to tag another person with it. We sometimes hide ourselves on top of the beanbags. And we play other games and we color in a colouring books.
