On Wednesday the year fives did some marble art it was so much fun. What we did was we got a tray, marbles, piece of paper, paint and news paper. So we put the news paper in the tray and put the paper on the news paper next we  put three different coloured paints on the paper.  Then we put the marble in the tray and rolled the tray around, it was fun. It made lines with the marble. We made two of the art, everybody’s had heads of different colours. They looked really cool!!!  Then we let them dry.

On thursday when we got to school I had a look at the marble art and they had all dried but some of them were still wet. After that we started doing the art again, by cutting them out. So we had to get one of our pictures and put it on a big black piece of  paper. With the other piece of paper we write our name in big letters. Then we out lined our name and cut our piece of paper with the art work. It took a while to cut out but every body finished some people did the same colours as people.

I am at the Olympics and I am ready to swim as fast as I could. So me and my team walked out and then we were waiting for the whistle to go and we were off!! I swam as fast as I could and at the end at the pool we all did a tumble turn. We had to do 4 leths of the pool It was so hard. When it was the last leth I sprint finished. Thats when I found out my team won!!! I was elated! I just did the Olympics swimming and I found out that my team won!! I was glowing. We are Olympic champions!! So we took a big step and walked onto the podium I felt happy joyous euphoric and cheerful! It was a lot of fun. Every one was looking at our team. I looked at the other teams beside us and the teams were Austrailan and Canada they also cheered us on and said well done. Australia came second and Canada came third. Our team started crying! I felt amazed. After the ceremony they took some photos of us. There were 3 other people in our team and one was 19 and the other was 18 and 20. It was nearvraking. I can’t believe I am on the podium and I just won the NZ swimming gold medal. I am so proud of myself. I am only 17 years old and this is my first Olympics I am lucky. Theres so much people there I am so amazed. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It was the best day ever. I’am so happy for me and my team we did so well at swimming we have worked so hard for this moment to get in the Olympics an this is the moment yay!!! We were about to come second but I sprint finished! We had to wait for the people to go. And then we went home.

My Holiday

 

In the holidays I went to Pukawa and Tauranga. We drove all the way to Pukawa from Otaki.  It takes us about 4 hours to get there. When we got to Pukawa me Macy and Cam had to walk up to our holiday house I just wanted to stay in the car with mum and dad. When we finished walking we didn’t have unpack because mum and dad unpacked we were lucky. Then the next day we had to pack a little bag because we were leaving to Tauranga. It took us 2 and a a half hours to get to Tauranga. We were staying at the reef hotel. We were on the bottom floor even though that there was only 3 floors. On the first day we were there it was a storm it was so windy and rainy when I opened up the car door I couldn’t close it. The next day Me Mum Cam and Macy went up mount Maunganui but we only did the loop around the mount. It was fun. Then we went back to the car and got are swimming bags because we were going to the hot pools. When we got to the hot pools we got in our togs on and jumped in. There was a cold pool and a really hot pool too. We stayed in the hot pool but it got to hot in there so me Macy and Cam went in the cold pool. Then Mum hoped out of the pool and got changed then we all got out too. Then when we got back to the car the hole boot was open!! And it was lucky because Mums phone was in the car and I was surprised that nobody stole anything. After that we went to my cousins house and had lunch there. Then we went back to the hotel and dad was back. Then we went to the mall and I had to pay for my stuff. After that we went to go have dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant it was yummy.
