Usain Bolts finals

“Take your marks said the umpire, the 200m sprinting final was about to start.Visulising                                                                                                                         the race, Usain Bolt (yes, it’s him) was ready for anything.

As the gun went off, Usain was blitzing everyone. Swiftly speeding down the track, the naturally gifted athlete was focusing on the finish. The worlds fastest was unbeaten for the 2nd time!

Celebrating his victory Usain did his winning pose. It seems like no-one ever beaten Usain in the last two Olympics. I wonder what his future is? Only time will tell.

Going to Paul

Every Friday we always go to the hall. For important stuffs So as we were marching down the hallway like soldiers, we wondered how today might be different. When we went into the hall we sat down and wait until Mr Burt was going to talk. Then Paul came in and sat down we were singing the New Zealand song. When it was finished Paul came and introduced himself. Then Paul asked Shalom and lisa to come over here because we had won something really special about a movie. We had won the KWN Panasonic competition.

A Big Cross Country



Every day this term we have been practising our cross country at Pt England School. Yesterday was the big day. It was a warm afternoon , and year 5 and six made their way to the courts. Mr Somerville gave us instructions of where we would be running. I listened carefully so that I knew what I needed to do.

We ran all the way to the beach, then past Mr Burt’s house.I felt tired when we jogged along the beach.I ran past Zion at the beach. I was hating every minute because I was so exhausted. My legs ached, I didn’t feel fit. Even though my legs ached I was determined to get to the end.

When I reached the finish line I was relieved and excited. Next time I hope I come first, my goal is to keep up with my  friends. To get fit I will practise at home. Overall, I am proud of
myself for participating in the cross the country.

The Olympic Flame


The Olympic flame was started at the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece. Ignited by the sun, the flame burnt until the Olympics were finished.

In Olympia a curved mirror and the sun is used to light the Olympic torch. Women in ancient white robes perform the ceremony. The torch is then passed from runner to runner as it travels from Olympia to the host city.

The most important event at  the opening ceremony  is the lighting of the flame. It burns for two weeks until the games have concluded.
