The boy who learnt to fly

In the beginning of the story Usain bolt a kid living in jamaica with his mum was late to school. He jumped out of his house and sprinted to school. He sat on his chair ready to learn. Ring ring ring the bell went and usain bolt forgot his lunch. He sat down miserable with no lunch. A teacher saw Usain bolt and made a deal with him. The deal was to race a 14 year old and if Usain bolt wins he wins the teachers lunch. Usain bolt was nervous ready set go Usain bolt was losing but once he saw the teachers lunch he boasted right past him and won the race.

Usain Bolt ran home and that's when his journey starts. He ran in the junior competition finals and came first by miles! He grew up and made it into the high school champs and won by miles like his first race. He made it to the Olympics but he had second thoughts. His mum walked into the changing room and told Usain “you can do it my son” so Usain Bolt walked out of the changing room and got ready to run his mum was standing in the crowed with jamaican flags and everything on her.

Usain Bolt remembered how fast he was when he was little and also how fast he is now. “On your marks get set BOOM” all the racers dashed down the track. Usain Bolt was coming in last but once he saw his mum in the crowed he gassed everyone in that race he won and that is the story of the boy who learnt to fly.

Olympics Writing

We need the Olympics so we can see the best of the best competing. The Olympics is special because it only happens every 4 years and the best athletes in their countries come along and compete against each other.The runners in the olympics have speed cameras all around them to see their speed. Swimmers do laps up and down there near by pool every day. Runners do high knees and sprints nearly every day.

When the athletes train they have a lot of speed cameras around them so it tells them how fast they're going. Now days the athletes will wear tight clothes so the aerodynamics can flow.When an athlete  wins gold they cry and think to themselves how long it took them and also all their hard work payed off

Getting ready, starting blocks,nerves, Hopeful,tempting, Zooming, dashed, paparazzi

It was the Olympics final and the best of the best athletes were racing. They stretched before having the biggest race of their lives. The crowd was cheering super loud hoping that their country our friend wins . “Take your marks” the racers stayed calm while putting there feet on the starting blocks.

“Get set” the athletes hearts were pumping and they were hoping that they win the race. “Boom the gun went off” and the racers dashed down the race track. The crowed was going wild

Once the athletes reached  the middle of the race track Usain bolt made a comeback he boasted right in front of everyone and won the race. Yohan Blake came 2nd and Usain came first.

It was a really good match but Usain Bolt just won with Yohan Blake coming in 2nd. Usain Bolt broke a world record during that race. A lot of paparazzi were taking photos of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake as well. Usain Bolt did his poses while he was receiving his gold medal.

Simon Immersion Assembly

It was the first day of the term and everyone was dying to see what their team is doing for this term.  The hall was a bit chilly, I sat down with my class and waited to see what the topic for the term was.  Our topic for this term is “As I see it” and our team, Team 4 is learning about Comic Books.  Mr Somerville was called Team Leader America and he was dressed in blue with a shield.  Mr Goodwin was called Bat Guy and dressed in all black.  Miss Lavakula dressed as Wonder Woman, but her name was Wondering Woman and Mr Baxendine was a little teddy bear called Bear Baxendine and he steals netbooks, so he was a baddy.  They all looked Awesome!  Comics have an old history going back as far as 1827, the man who created the first comic was called, Rudolphe Topffer.  WOW!  I had no idea that comics were around for that long, how interesting.  

Team One had a Sound of music theme because their topic is Favourite Things.  That’s a cool topic, but not as cool as comics though.  Mrs George did a quiz and handed chocolates to the students who got the answers right.  The teachers had no costumes which was a bit boring.

Team Twos theme was Seasons of the year.  They had a movie showing all the different seasons which was pretty cool, but the teachers had no costumes and were just sitting down watching the movie with the rest of the school, which is another reason Team Four, my team, are still the BEST!

Team Threes theme was Grand Designs.  The main judge was Mr Blakey and Miss King and Mrs Squires were the builders and the rest of the teachers were the contestants, very cool, but not as cool as Comics.

Team Fives theme was about the Four Wakas which are our house groups for school.  The teachers were dressed as wakas and had a race on the stage, which Mrs Garden won and Mrs Tele’a came second.  Awesome effort, but still not as awesome as Team Fours comic theme.

He opened the door  and said “hello” and the  karate master said back” hello”.  He walked around their  cave  complimenting it. He said “let's get started”. He was practising  his kick move. When he did his best kick he kicked the roof of his cave. They ran outside screaming all the people away when Joe found a big mountain. He named it mount Wellington.

They moved out to another cave. they found a flat surface they dug a huge hole under ground and that was there  new  home. They went under mount Wellington and moved a there stuff. It took a long time to get to there new cave but it was worth it.

My Christmas

I woke up and snuck into my living room. I had a little peek under our tree to see what we were getting for Christmas. It was really big so I crept back down my hallway and jumped back into bed, i could not sleep! I heard my brother wake up, so i jumped back out of bed and woke my mum and dad up with a big “Merry Christmas” and a kiss & a big hug.  My mum got up but my dad could see the living room from his side of the bed, so he stayed in bed. My mum said “open your gifts” so I quickly opened it and it was a Casio keyboard. I said “thank you mum and dad” I opened it and went hard trying to play any tune i could think of.  I loved it.

My mum showed me a lot of songs that were really easy, so I gave them a go. I watched my brother open his gift, he got a guitar. I went and asked my dad if I could have some game time, he said yes, so I quickly pulled out my Xbox one. My favourite game at the moment is Nba 2k15.  It's a really cool game, because you can dunk and shoot from far away.  My favourite player is Michael Jordan, he has MEAN skills. I set my game up and played, I was really  happy. We waited for the game to load so I played the demo. My Nana and pa came over with my aunty.  My Aunty Adah gave me perfume and my Nana and pa gave me $100.

I went to my cousin Julius and Eli’s house to drop their presents off and to say Merry Christmas. Me and Michael got a guitar hero for Xbox one from our Aunty Lizzys family.  I was so surprised and happy at the same time. I got my cousin Julius a pair of shoes and got my cousin Eli a t shirt.  They loved our gifts. we said our goodbyes and headed back to my house.  My cousin John was there waiting for us.  We had a delicious Family bbq with my Nana, Pa & Aunty Adah.  The food was delicious, I especially liked the corn & the trifle.  We also have a Tongan watermelon drink called Otai, that was one of my favourites too.  I was so full! Thanks for reading my story, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well.
