'Ahh'Athletics. One of the most intense days of the year, but also one of my favourite days of the year.This year we had it on a Thursday, the 8th of November. Athletics is when you do events that involves strength, speed and also to have lots of fun, and that's what I had that day.
Lining up, we all are waiting anxiously to get started with it. I see my friend Matthew also getting ready, he was pumped up and ready to go but I knew hes was going to win something because of how sporty. I knew that it was going to be a fun but competitive athletics.
As we arrived to the courts we all had to sit in our age groups and have a hat on. Some of the teachers where really streaked about wearing a hat because it was a really hot day to do athletics. After a couple of minutes we got under way, heading to our first destination (Sprints).
I didn’t no that we had sprints first but I was really nervous because I was really slow. As we lined up to race for our heats I saw Amos and Joe, really good racers. They where going to be my most challenging opponents. READY, SET, BANG goes the wooden clappers and I was off racing but as I was racing I could see Joe why ahead of me and Amos all the way at the back of me, WOW I said in shock, “I beat Amos”. coming second in my heat I was lucky enough to make it to the semi finals with Joe. That's when I knew that I was fast.
Heading in to the semi with Joe I was confident Intel I saw Starford make it in to the finals and he was in my heat. As we ran I we where coming a tie and then suddenly i just was able to beet him. we had races after and I beet him in some of the races and he beet me in some of the race. But the finals came and we where both ready to see who could get third place. As we where running I was getting a good then he was gaining on me fast but it was a tight race and I just one coming third. To Be Continued........................

The Manaiakalani film festival
This term we had our annual film festival. Film festival is when the manaiakalani schools come together and show off there amazing talents buy making a short clip of themself’s doing something to make the audience happy. It was held in Sylvia Park, Hoyt's cinema’s. This year’s film festival, for me was very boring because we only got to see a little bit of film’s and also some of them I didn’t get it.
As we got there we had to sit down on the far side of the cinema. I sat next to my mate Shawn and we talked about what was going to happen this year and then they turned the lights off and the introduction was said bye miss Burt. As the speech went on and on they Finlay pronounced the first film it was a One Direction one that was pretty cool.
After a while there there was really boring ones Intel one of the good films came on, I was relived no more boring film’s. It was room 18’s one because it was really funny and also true sometimes.Also because it was a test and they where doing face signs to each other which was really funny.
After It was over we all went back on the bus. Overall, I thought that this years film festival was pretty boring .

My favourite toy
Your task this week is to write about your favourite toy. It could be something from your childhood when you were little, or it could be about a favourite toy that you have now.
Use this plan to help you:
* My favourite toy is my Xbox 360......because.......It is the toy that had made me happy since 2009.
* My favourite toy looks/sounds like......(describe in detail what your favourite toy looks like or sounds like) My toy looks like a big white box. it also has a cd opner so when you want to play a game you can press the button on the side or just use the controller to open it.
* My favourite toy makes me feel Happy.....because It was the only toy that i liked....or reminds me of those old playstation that i used to play when i was young.
* The best memories I have of my favourite toy are when I clocked Halo reach and also when I played all blacks rugby challenge ......because...... it was cool.
When I was young in 2009 (8 or 9 years old) I discovered the new console game, the Xbox 360. This is my favourite toy because it can play lots of other games. If you get bored of the game you’re playing you can just choose another game. Also it has some of my most favourite games on it that you can play.
The Xbox 360 was made in 2005. Right now over 70 million copies of the Xbox 360 has been sold all around the world and luckily I am one of the 70 million people that has bought one.
My favourite game on the Xbox 360 will probably be ‘Halo Reach’. The reason why I like this game is because it has lot of levels that you can do and also it made me happy when I was bored and had nothing to do. This game is one of those games where you can shoot and run around. It involves aliens, humans and humans in big robot suits.
Another great game that I have played Is ‘All Blacks Rugby Challenge’. It is a rugby game that has my favourite team for rugby, the All Blacks! I like this game because it has great graphics, good game play and it has lots of competitions to play. One of those competition is the ‘ITM Cup’ my favourite one to play. This is because it has nearly all the rugby New Zealand people in it which is awesome.

My narrattive writing
“Ahh!” I say in terror “We’re lost”. Lets go back to the beginning of my story. It all started when me and four friends ( Matthew,Toko, Jephte and Aidan) went for a walk through the bush.
As we went in to the creepy old bush we saw people walking on the footpath just either going for a stroll or running with their dog. It all seemed naturally amazing. But as we got near the middle of the track Matthew needed to use the toilet. But there was no toilet to be seen so he went into the bushes. He went really far in and took ages so we went to go and look for him. We found him by an old tree walking back to the path. When all went wrong we had forgotten the way back to the track. “Ahhr” I say in terror “We’re lost”. We went too far in. As we looked for the track it started to spit. And after a while it was pouring down with rain. We all shout out “HELP” but there was no one that could hear us.
We all walked slowly and we stuck together. As we were walking through the wet bush I saw my mates Jephte and Toko with there clenching fists and big knuckles hanging out, looking like they were going to give Matthew a good punch. He was the one that went too far in the bush. All of us all wanted to punch him but we couldn’t because we knew he was the toughest. But as we got to a big tree there was shelter. So we went under there. As it hit dark we could hear a noise. It was quite a big noise and it was heading towards us. We all got really scared and started running away but it was too late we had been caught. But luckily as we opened our eyes to see who it was, it was a policeman that had come to rescue us. ”Phew” what a relief.
As we were walking back to the track we saw lights and we knew where this policeman knew where he was going. We asked how he knew that we were lost. He replied “Your mother called us and said that you guys were missing”. We all learnt our lesson to never go deep into the bush again!!

My Narrative
Once upon a time there was a family of four. In the family there was The dad and his wife. Also there is the married couples daughter, son and a dog named TokoToko. The dad’s name was Aidan. He was an amauter painter trying to paint their house walls because it was his day off.
The wifes name was Shawnaly. She was a couch potatoe, She didn’t have a job and she didn’t do any choirs. The daughter was pregnent already aged as 18 years old.Her name is joshuly And then there’s the little boy named Matthew. He goes to ptengland school.
One day Aidan was painting his house with his favourite colour (Aqua Blue). When he rolled some paint on to the wall he noticed it was really wet and it came the paint was dripping down the wall really fast. after a couple of strokes with the roller he accidentally dripped lots of paint on his face. As he was trying to rub his face with a cloth his family cracked up laughing at him. The paint had already dried up couldn’t see any thing but he called still hear and talk. so he asked the little boy (Matthew) to read the paint bucket and asked him what it said on the can. He said with laughter “It said Super fast drying and permanent paint”.”Ohh no” he said with shock.What am I going to do now.
He tryed his hardest to rub the paint of with soap and a cloth but it didn’t work. His family tryed to get the paint of but it didn’t work ether. So he decided to call the company that he brought (Technical Toko’s Scuxx Factory) to solve his problem. He made the call and asked for the manger. Once he waited for the manger he Finlay answered and said “Hello what can I do for you to day”and as they went on and on about his problems with the paint on his face. He didn’t get any good answers so he got really mad and started peeling off the paint off his face. But he only peeled on little part and said Ouch. It ripped some skin of his face. He was really getting frustrated.
As he was sitting down he heard the little boy still reading the bucket. The man asked if there was any why to take of the paint off his face, and then he said yes there is away. Few He said with enjoyment. He did what the bucket said to do and it came off.
