Run Bike Run Poetry

WALT use poetic verse to recount an event we participated in.

The Run Bike Run event was usual enough; it had the

Two lakes, the Cones, the intersection, the bridge, and even The Transitions area.

My friends, my classmates and I did what kids do -  

 Played the competitive games,

Ran around the painfully long track,

Talked about nothing important,

Pedaled as the wind blew strongly in the wrong direction,

Lost the people chasing us,

Ran through the cones that led to the finish.

Having a miraculous time.

Dance - Term 2

Dance 

At dance we learnt two different dances, the Hip Hop and the Cha Cha routine. I wasn´t there for the overall performance but i learnt both of the dances. The Hip Hop routine was a fast routine that was lots of fun. We had to sing in some parts. We also had to do the Cha Cha which is a holding hands routine where you tap your feet to a rhythm. There were several variants of the Cha Cha including the train, new york, allemana turn and back to back. Most of our Hub performed on the Friday, they did the Cha Cha in a circle with the boys on the inside and girls on the outside and they switched around during the routine. We did the Hip Hop the same as usual.

My name is Jack and I am going to tell you about a tragic accident that happened two weeks ago.

I was on the farm collecting the hay and loading the truck up when I realised that I had two hours to fill it up.

So I hurried up.

About an hour later I was in my truck driving across the bushy countryside. I  was driving along in my battered truck to deliver the hay. I had to cross an extremely fragile rickety bridge to get there. I was very nervous about that. But there was no going back now. I started to go across the bridge. I was about half way across the bridge when I heard a horrible crack and I knew the bridge had broken. The truck tilted horribly and it fell through the bridge. It hit the water with a horrifying KA-BLAM! It went under the water. (I can still remember smashing into the water.)  This is the end I thought. Or is it. Then I saw a boy about ten trying to smash the glass. I blacked out.

When I woke up I was on a beach coughing and spluttering with the boy about ten getting interviewed. Then a nurse put me on a stretcher and took me to hospital. I woke up about 12:45 and I went back to the farm.

The next day I was loading up a rented truck with about ½ the hay just to make sure. I wouldn’t have another accident.(obviously I did)(because of the giant hole in the bridge)

Multicultural Week

I was involved in a range of learning experiences for multicultural week

I learnt that you could fit Israel in the South Island.

I enjoyed trying out the chopsticks.

I was most fascinated by a building in Russia that took nothing to keep it together and it has stood for centuries.


A question I have is in Russia what would happen if you had a hot drink outside when it was
minus 50 degrees celsius?
