Sports Fest is over :(

So now that the Sports Fest is over I can tell you a little bit about .
As you might have read my second to latest post you would have known that I was in the Basketball team. The thing is we ended up getting seriously thrashed by the 3 other teams we faced.
The first team we faced we lost around 11-48 but I got I hoop. They were the easiest.
The next team we faced was a bit harder.
The last team we faced were sort of bad sportsmen. (I'm not going to say what they did).I still got 1 hoop.
Overall it was a fun day and I got an ASB drink bottle!

Poems

There once was a snail called dale
Who liked to deliver mail
He made a mistake
Then got hit by a rake
And now he's turning all pale

There once was a pug called Doug
Who had an over-sized mug
He pooed in a shoe
Then did a big spew
And now he needs a new rug

There once was a locked up door
That was next to the slightly burnt floor
Dan unlocked the latches
Just to find burning matches
Now he knew what the door was for

There once was a pig called pork
Who traveled all the way to New York
He saw Liberty
And then laughed he he
Shouldn't she be holding a spork

There once was a man called Bot
Whose nose was running with snot
He wiped some snot off
Then checked in a trough
And said, hey I missed a spot

There once was a boy called Lockie
Who was a bit of a moxie
At 12 o'clock flat
He put on his hat
And said Mum, we need to go for a walkie

My favorite poems I have posted up there are numbers 2 and 4.
I like these poems because I like the style of limericks and the way that the last line is meant to be humorous. Numbers 1 and 2 were the ones I started off with, then I just thought of the other ones randomly when I was doing a blog post. I also like them because they are simple and easy to make up. What's more is that they're short and sharp. I find them very fun and enjoyable!

If you have some limericks you'd like to share, you can comment below!

See you next time! (Not really 'cause I can't really see you through the screen) :p

Waiting for the anual Sportsfest!

The thing that I waiting for is coming soon! It's the annual Sportsfest!         
Another thing on my mind are how can I help my team play better and have more fun on the day?
I heard that raroa school students are apparently really good at basketball so I figured that our team practicing lots would improve our confidence and skills a lot.
I recently have sort of gained the ability to shoot 3 pointers and I have gotten a bit better at doing lay-ups. I hope all the teams do really well in the Sportsfest.

Good luck teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In with the new or stick to the old? Tough decision.

This week we have been asked to blog about what we think about changing the New Zealand flag.

I have chosen these four flags as my favorites because to me they speak "New Zealand". They also showcase New Zealand's culture and sports.

Reasons for changing the flag
I had just noticed that the New Zealand flag looks fairly similar to the Australian flag.That's the only thing that I'd like to change about the flag.

Reasons to stop the flag from being changed
My reason for not changing the flag is that changing the flag would probably take a while to get used to. Imagine one day we have our regular flag and the next you're looking at a whole new one. Some people say "Why can't Australia change their flag?" but I disagree. I don't think it works like that.

My opinion
I'm not really sure if I want the flag to be changed or not. It's a bit confusing. Changing the flag is not something I'd expect. I'm also not sure how they got the idea of changing the flag in the first place. It's not something I would think of doing myself. Well that's my opinion.

See you later folks!

Arty Art!

I'm back and it's another blog post! YAY!
Today as you probably guessed I'm going to talk to you about art. (My art not your art.)

I enjoy doing all sorts of art. I particularly like sketching because you can create whatever you want!
I also enjoy drawing things from 'how to draw books because some of the pictures they show you to do sometimes look cool.

Something I would like to get better at is my sketching because sometimes the things I make don't really
look like how I'd like them too. It's just a bit weird when something you think is going to look cool and amazing suddenly doesn't look like the thing you imagined at all!

My Ideas for the art exhibition are classified for authorized personnel only so you'll have to wait to find out.

So that's it for this week!

Meal Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week one of our tasks was to make a blog post about who would you invite to a meal if you could.

My first person would be M.r Bean!
I would invite M.r Bean because he and his movies are really funny.
My questions would be:
If you had a catch phrase what would it be?
What was your very first movie and what was your favorite?
Will there be any other M.r bean movies?

My other person would be Stan Lee!
I would invite him because I am a big fan of the Marvel franchise.
My questions would be:
If I was an extra or a main character in one of your Marvel or unreleased Marvel movies, where  would I fit in?
What other new Marvel movies will you be releasing except Captain America: Civil War?
What was your favorite extra to be acting as?
How did you get the idea of being an extra in all of your movies?

I'm sure It would be a wonderful meal!

Bye!
