Mitchell Athletics Day 2015 Pt England School.

Hikianalia is the best house colour because we win every year. Our name was Takitimu but we changed it to the boat Hikianalia. Takitimu is the colour yellow. Yellow is the colour of the sun. The Sun is Strong and Hot to blow your face up. Our house colour was the best house colour than all the other house colours. We won every year and we got the best people to win.

On Friday the 13th November 2015 was Athletics Day. I rushed to School and got changed into my Yellow T-Shirt and Black Shorts. I was so excited cause I knew we were going to win again like every other year. I ran into the classroom and put clothes away and we left to the courts.

I was in the Year 5 boys. We went to go do relays. We walked down to the bottom field. At the bottom field were Obstacle Courses and heaps of other stuff. When we went to do relays we had these batons to hold. We had to run to the middle and pass it to that person then that person has to pass it to the person at the end and it keeps on going. We lined up in 5 lines. Then we started. I was at the back of the line waiting for my turn. 3 minutes later it was my turn. I was so nervous I but could do it. My friend Andrew passed me the baton. I ran as fast as I could to the middle. I passed it to Jonathan and Jonathan ran to Tom at the end. Tom ran to me and passed it. Then i ran back to the start and passed it to my Friend Simon. I was so tired after that. We kept on playing until Mr Jacobsen made this noise with the siren. It was really Fun.  We got 50 points. All the other teams got 40,30,20 and 10 points.

It was time to change over. We walked up the bottom field to the top field.  We were going to do Running. I liked Running. I saw 8 straight lines on the side of the field. The first 8 boys went to go line up then we lined up behind them. Mr Burt had this really big wooden thing. He said On your mark, get set and Go.

The first 8 boys ran really fast until they got to the end. I was really scared i was going to trip over or something. Then i saw my mum smiling at me. I wasn’t scared anymore i was now getting excited. Then Mr Burt said On your mark,get set, GO and clapped the wooden thing together. I sprinted as fast as i could. My mum was cheering on the side i ran and ran. I came 2nd to last but my mum was still proud of me. Then i ran again after the last 8 boys. I ran again as fast as i could. I 6th or 7th i think and my mum hugged me. I was so proud of myself even though i never came 1st,2nd or 3rd.

Then it was time to go home. My uncle and aunty came to watch as well. I was proud of my sisters too. They all came 1st in their races. I loved Athletics Day.

Fijian Coup

Long time ago in 1879 in Fiji came Indians. Indians sailed all the way from India to Fiji. The Indians came to Fiji to work on the Sugar Plantations. No one in Fiji did it. So the Indians did it. They planted the Sugar Canes from 1879-1916. The Fijians decided for the Indians to stop working on it in 1916. The Indians lived in Fiji and became Fijian Indians. Later on in the years they were celebrating religious festivals in Fiji. Like Diwali,Holi and birthdays of Hindu gods and Muslim festivals too. The native people of Fiji were Canibals from 1801 - 1900. Christianity came to fiji in 1900. The native people call Jesus Jisu and worshiped god. In Suva City the Indians worshiped Ganesha the elephant god,Lakshmi the god of peace and other gods for Muslims like Allah and their prophet Mohamed. Then in around the 1980s their was the Fijian Coup. The Fijian Coup was about Indians. Indians wanted to take over Fiji. All the Fijians got all their army all their guns and were killing hundreds of Indians. Indians were fighting back too with their guns bombs it was so dangerous. Fijians did not want all of their false gods in their country. They did not want them in Fiji. Some Indians took over some Fijians and told them to stay. Other countries did not allow Fijians to come to their country either. My Mums Uncle was in the Fijian Army with my grandpa. My grandpa died when my mum was a little girl. Once we went to Fiji and visted his grave. Anyways my mums uncle stayed behind in Fiji. Lots of them were ruled by the Indians. Up in Vanua Levu hundreds of people were still canibals. Even today they still carry on with the Fijian Tradition. Back then in the 1800s if an Indian came to try rule over their Island the natives would get their big sharp stick they kept in the Village and would kill them and eat them. Today Indians still live in Fiji and the Fijian Coup still goes on but all the Fijians still stay and rule in Fiji.

Mitchell Cindy In Da House Review

Mitchell - Reflection/Cindy In Da House-Review

(Extension Work).

On the 22nd-24th of september was our School Production Cindy In Da House. It started at 7:00pm every night and finished at 8:00pm. Each ticket cost $5 each for 1 person.

It was the story about Cinderella but it was G.I styles. At the end Cindy became best friends was Josh. He was the captain of the rugby team. Josh was her best friend instead of a prince and Instead of a glass slipper it was Cindy’s Jandal. Cindy stayed with her step aunty and her cousins. It was so cool.

Review: What i liked about Cindy In Da House is there was Acting,Dancing and Singing. It was so fun. What i did not like about it was nothing. I liked the whole production. I would give it 10/10.

Mitchell School Holidays Writing

It was Friday the last day of school. We were all sitting down in the hall for the assembly. At the end Mr Burt said to say Happy Holidays. Then we all said it. Then finally we could all go now. The 12:30 bell rang. Mr Jacobsen was playing the music for the end. I was so happy saying goodbye to all my friends and my teacher Mr Bax too. I was so excited. There was no school for 2 whole weeks.

I ran to go get my sisters and we ran home. When I went home I went to go quickly eat and drink. Then I went to go pack my stuff for Riverside Camp. My sisters were going to the School Holiday Program at our church for one week. On Monday we went to go to School early in the morning at 8:00 in the morning. Riverside camp was so fun.

It was at Willow Park. The workers served us Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner every day. We slept in our cabins with our teams. We had lots of bunk beds. We got our own bed to sleep on. I slept at the top of the bunk bed. At the end there was a big door. That was the girls side were all the girls were sleeping in.

Anyways We had a toilets and showers. We had about 4 showers in the Boys bathroom. Everyday we got to have Free time. When we have Free time we get to play in our Cabins and play outside. Outside were 2 trampolines, a mini golf course, a playground and a really big field.

Every night we had games outside. Like Crunchy hunt to find chocolate and spotlight. We had a disco with lots of colourful lights.

Everyone was dancing. We were all dressed in our best clothes. All of us had fun.

On the last day I couldn't wait to go home we packed all our stuff and left. I said bye to all the kids at Riverside Camp and left. Then it was the 2nd week of the School Holidays. I was going to the School Holiday Program at Church.

At the School Holiday Program all of my friends from church were there. My Uncle Matt,Aunty Kika and Aunty Febi and our other helper Richard were looking after us

We went to places like Jump. When i went to Jump i kept on jumping around. It was so fun. There was even a basketball hoop with a basketball so you could jump very high and make a score. There was heaps of foam you could jump into. You could swing from a rope too.

You could also play dodgeball. It's fun when you play it because you can jump around on the trampolines instead of just standing there on the ground. It was so fun.

We also went to Waiwera Hot Pools. We drove to Waiwera in the 2 Church Vans. It was so long to get there. Finally we got there. We went inside and we payed for all of us who were swimming. Then a Lifeguard came to talk to us. He was talking about where to go like the Toilets and stuff.

They showed us our tables that we can sit at and eat and drink. I went to go get changed into my swimming togs. Then i came back with all my change. I grabbed my goggles and went to go swim with all the other kids.

There was a Movie pool too. It was so warm. I went inside and watched Shaun the Sheep. All the kids went to the front of the pool to watch the movie. After that i ran to the big slides. There was a slide called the Speed slide. It was yellow and 2 people could go on it at a time.

Then there was a really big green slide. It was called the Twister. It twisted around and around. It was so cool. I went back home to my family. We went to Okahu Bay and played on the park. I was looking forward to going back to school. It was really fun in the school holidays. The End. Thanks for reading my writing on my blog.
