Easter

EASTER! One of my favourite holidays of the year!
I'm not a big fan of God, but I am a fan of chocolate and cute new born animals!
This year (2010) my family and I went to Pohara (in Golden Bay) with some friends for Easter. We stayed in some motels that our friends owned and we got to stay in them for free because my dad had won a free voucher to stay there at our school gala!

My friend and I had our own little unit that her and I could stay in. We did watch a lot of tv though!!
The 'Easter bunny' was a bit late hiding the eggs so we went down to play on the beach while he hid them. When he hopped away, we ran around frantically looking for all the hidden eggs. We found them all. There were creme eggs, caromallo eggs and chocolate/ marshmallow eggs! YYYUUUMMM!
To be fair we shared the eggs out each chosing one by one.

I had such a GREAT time! The weather was wonderful, the water was warm, we had lots of chocolate, we played lots of games, lots of junk food and lollies and most of all I got to share it with my friends and family ( I know, cheesy.)

I love Easter,  I love the beach, I love my family, and most of all I LOVE CHOCOLATE! lol

HAPPY EASTER!

School tryathalon!

This is a little poem thing, we wrote about the school tryathalon!


Along Willow walk


My butterflies had suddenly gone. I was staring at the girl in front of me. Her togs were blinding me; they were sparkly blue with white stars. As I passed her they suddenly disappeared behind me. There was nothing I could stare at apart from the path ahead.


Going towards the pool

 My throat was going dry. My legs ached because I had just run up the steps beside the yellow slide. I trotted across the stones at the adventure playground, looking behind me to see if anyone was going to come up and pass me. (I know they say not to look behind you but you just can't help it!)


In the pool

I didn't have enough breath to swim in the pool so I walked. My shoes felt all squidgy.


Down the hill

My feet kept sliding forward in my shoes because of all the water from the pool.
I got my bike by its handlebars and flicked up the stand. It was uncomfortable riding though -because of the water I kept sliding off my seat.


At the bike transition

I got my bike by its handlebars and flicked up the stand. It was uncomfortable though - because of the water I kept sliding off my seat.

At the finish line
"Keep pedalling! You're nearly there!" I say to myself.
"Aaaahhh....." It's finally over as I collapse on the ground in exhaustion.
