Reflections from the Marae

I saw:

...the church that was 100 years old

...the black, sooty sky

...my friends and I playing caterpillars in sleeping bags

and people playing tag.

I heard:

...sleeping bags crackling like a fire,

...year 8s giggling

...people getting up and going to the toilet

...Whaea Sue telling us about art

and Mr Neal snoring like an angry warthog.

I could feel:

...the softness of the carvings,

..the soft, warm sleeping bag

and the warm air of the wharenui carving around us.

Thursday 8th of September- Soccer By Pip

We did practice yesterday.




Natalie wasn't there but I bet she will be there on Saturday.

I hope every one will be there on Saturday because it is the last game!

We were focusing on dribbling the ball. Dribbling the ball means kicking the ball softly so that it doesn't go so far in front of you.

We did a drill that you dribble the ball to the other side of the field and back again. Then we did a similar drill, you dribble to the other side of the field then when the coach (my Dad) said "Stop!" you left your ball and went to the other side. Then when you came back you got the ball and dribbled it to the other side.

I was half way through the book with the class, and I got my own book of it! I started where we were. I liked the ending of it because I won't tel ou 'cos' you can read it yourself. Roald Dahl is a very cool writer. I like Roald Dahl books hes got Danny the Champion of the world, The chocolate factory, "the twits", Charlie and the great glass elevator, The Giant Peach, The Witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, georges marvellous medicine. I rate that 10 out of 10. It was quite good.

Billie.b.brown and the little lie

A book review By Pip

It's got big letters. Its sort of new beginners on chapter books. Its a series of Billie B Brown. Just look for it. They have 43 pages. I liked the books but they had tiny chapters in the. They were 12 pages long!
She tells a lie and everyone does want to be her friend but then Lola says 'you're fibbing' by Sally Rippen.
