Cross-Country

                                                        Cross-Country 

On Wednesday the 11th of September  it was Cross-country for Waikowhai Primary School. I'll tell you what us year 5's did! First we got to chill-out and play games. We got to play Somakalo and eat brownies or ice blocks. Next we got to do skipping! My favorite part was when I could do more jump ropes than Madison and Genevieve! I did 2000 n something! Next we did kicking for soccer. We had to try and kick in the goals from were the cone was. It was really hard to kick the balls into the goal! After that, we had goal keepers to try and kick the ball away from the goal. Next was the obstacle course! MY FAVORITE!!!! It was really fun! So first you had to bounce on the blue balloon all the way to the playground. Then you try to go under the yellow fish nets, then you grab a little ring hoop that has a knot, tied around the place! You had to untangle the hoop to get you to the black ropes. The black ropes its near the red bridge that leads you to flying fox... Which is also red... anyway! After you go across the black ropes you  jump over 5 Yellow cones. Then you go on the jungle bars (Which is Gray no Blue just gray) there are 4 jungle bars so you have to go across 4! After the jungle bars you hop on the mushrooms, there are about 3 of them and their color is Dark Red. Try not to fall on the bark or you get disqualified and go back to the Blue balloon to bounce on. Once you finish jumping on the mushrooms you go on the Silver ladder, Don't go through to tunnel go to the green slide or the Orange fire pole. Once someone is at the Green slide the other 2 kids have to do the same thing! after the pole or the slide you have to jump in these colored hoops. There are 5 hoops you have to jump into, when you've done you'll go and throw 3 Pink or Blue balls into 3 Green buckets full of bark and jump over 5 Orange bars. After the bars you have to climb over the Blue and Yellow rock climb. Then you have to run all the way back in the wet soggy mud. 
Next was the run we had to do the course 2 times around the whole school. I was pushing myself the whole time and I'm proud of that.

The run out in the

               umop 6p!sdn

Hi! I’m Robbin, Robbin Sinclair!

My life was hard back when I was little… but when you grow up your life starts to get more clamer, easier, and gentle on you… and this is the story on how I learnt that.

It started In the morning, a Saturday morning, I woke up feeling foggy and weary, my tummy had grumbled, and I thought to myself, “That's why my tummy was making me feel sick”, I had toast before I went off to my friends house to go watch a movie that I knew that would make us entertained! I had to go back to my house, Once I got home my eyesight was blind, all I could see was a blur, I thought it was because I sat so close to the screen but no. so I went to sleep and got some rest, when I woke up I was in This place. I was Cold and tired...

I saw something… like a vision and a sign… and What I was thinking was “Is this all a dream? Or is it a run out?” I fell down! Next minute I was at a school! Called Hawkins Middle. Everything I touched was slimy, and had so many cobwebs. The minute I saw this weird alien is the minute I felt.. frozen, couldn’t move… not a single muscle! Finally I woke up! “That's not right…” I thought.

Honey it's time to go!” My parents Yelled. 

I started to see things after that, Visions, Smoke, And Peppa pig! Wait wrong thing! And These shiny weird White things. I got scared at first but then I started to think “It's coming after me” I sighed a lot, day after day, week after week.. I felt like I wasn't home anymore and I still  thought “Is this all a dream? Or is it a run out?” I prayed every night.. “Please help me Holy father I swear I must be having dreams!” Every night the same thing “Please Holy Father” Before sleeping, a Friends

house, and School… my life was upside down! I never thought I would be in that much danger! I mean!? Why me!?!  It isn't really fair- never mind. I just wanna feel safe like before. I faint, Have seizures, I ALMOST CHOKED ON THE WHITE THINGS! It could’ve got worse until my mum got it out of me, A police helped her find me.. last time I remember I was in a hospital. My friends visited me 

“T-Team eight?” I claimed, “We were worried sick!!” They cried all tougher, “blah blah blah blah- HEY I WAS GONNA SAY THAT, WE ALL AGREED” then they started fighting… I laughed! Then I coughed… that's when they stopped skirmishing over who said what… I was excited to go to school! I Thought People wouldn’t bully me anymore! But guess what? I was wrong... 

I got bullied anyways…. This is what I meant about “My life was hard back then…” They called me names… “Ghost girl!” they mocked me… “How was it being yelled at!?” THEY EVEN TOLD ME OFF FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO! I wasn't even there when they told me off…. “ROBBIN BROKE MY ARM!” I CAN’T EVEN BRAKE MINE! It wasn’t fair while growing… my friends forgot about me... but Bella-rosa and Losa-line are still my friends… I had a lot of.. Well.  untrusting friends… every sorry they said was a lie! why does everyone hate me so much? Just because You went to my school “funeral?” NO! If you died I would be sorry! It’s so sad when you dont wanna eat your food YOUR parents gave to you well… they are kids in africa if you wanna give it away!!!? It’s so impossible to give people another chance…

But there is always another chance for everybody who doesn’t give anybody their trust! Now back to my story…. During those years I got luckier! And luckier! I got to be a cherif! The youngest police! I got to make so many friends! AND I GOT A PUPPY! His name is Oakly! And I get to run a mall, named Star court! This is what it feels like! What I meant about calmer and gentle! This all happens because I ROBBIN OAKLY CHARLES SINCLAIR IS GHOST GIRL! I don’t know why I’m happy being ghost girl now! But then and now I still feel its.. touch…

So sickening! It feels like when you go down on a roller coaster ride.

Hi I’m Robbin Sinclair! And this was my story. Adios! Sayonara! And Bye! And I forgot!! Don’t let your bad thoughts get stuck in your head! It’ll get worse! And you’ll have more pain! Anyways!

BYE!

Gumboot friday

On the 5th of April it was Gumboot Friday.  Some people where wearing Gumboots and some people didn’t. Gumboot Friday is about Mental health and Mental health is about when your feeling good about yourself. In Te Waka Ako we wanted to send nice cards around our community because we wanted to make people feel good about themselves too! We wrote nice kind things and put them on Cards. I thought it was really nice to send people cards because sending the world new things is special. My Card said “Angels fly to the moon and back.” next day we got an email/call about this lady that told us her son got a card and it change his life completely. We got into groups and got into partners and went off. We did one card each house, each person. Thanks to Neeve’s idea we made people happy. This relates to our Inquiry topic which is HAUORA - WELLBEING. See ya later!
