Cross Country

On Friday the 19 of August  we had a cross country on the middle of the field .At cross country all the house teams had to do a chants on the courts .We had to run 1 kilometre and outside the gate . 

Before  the race I  felt really  nervous  . We had to line up on the white line and Mr Burt had to clap the clapper . Then off we went  in first place who won last year’s race is Tisa he is he champion at running . 

In my photo collection is 4 photo’s that I put on my  google  slide   . On the side  of my collection is my friend Lennox who I meet when I started this school. In the  middle is my favorite photo  of me helping people who are suffering by running .

NEVER GIVE UP!

 Derek redmond is a champion at the 200 race . At the beginning of the race he did some stretches.

Derek redmond  was very fast until  he stop 

at 150 meters  which is half of the race . The problem was that he broke his  hamstring  and felt very upset and was worried about the race but did you know what he did next he never gave up .So he started to hoping on one foot.

Derek redmond’s  dad help him by lifting him to the end of the race making  sure that he went to Hospital . the race teach   me champions are careful strong  and helpful like if someone broke his leg and was crying I would help him  and make sure that he went  to the sick bay to rest . So if you see people crying don’t just walk away do something about it .

 

The Olympics games

A long long time ago  in Olympia Greece  they standard the Ancient Olympic games all they did was small running races and the winner got a crown made out of olive leaves .But about 1000 years the ancient Olympic games were band by the christian's . The new Olympic games were add to other country's . Today in Rio the 2016 Olympic  games is going to be in the Rio de Janeieo. Before the Olympics games  start they have to run with the torch flame mast be past to runner to and has to run around  Rio de Janeieo .

The Olympic Flame

The Ancient Greeks started the tradition of having an Olympic flame in Olympia. A sacred flame was lit by the sun's rays and stays alight until the games have ended. The flame symbolized a request for protection from zeus and the athletes’ struggles for victory.

The modern flame symbolizes the light of the spirit, knowledge and life, to this day. The torch is still lit in Olympia in Greece then carried by a relay team passing runner to runner until it reaches the host-city of the games. There the cauldron will be lit and stay alight until the closing ceremony.

EASTER TIME ?

The sky tower.

The Auckland  sky tower is near Hobson street  and halfway to Miss Scanlan's  house. The sky tower is near where  the  viaduct  is .

The sky tower look’s like a  yummy ice cream with chocolate on the top of the ice cream . the other thing that the sky tower look’s like is that it look like a 1980 war sword when people had to only create our own .

In the sky tower is a restaurant   with a cafe and a telescope to see what’s is at the bottom   of the sky tower .   You can go and do a jump of the sky tower on the edge  

of the sky tower.Did you notice  that the sky tower is about 328 meters  tall.
