Badminton


Badminton this term was really fun and good practice for some of us who have just started. I only just found out that Badminton was a sport and I never knew how to play it. When I started playing I felt that I was good at it.

Every week I was learning new skills and strategies and was becoming better every time I played. Sometimes hitting the shuttle around was not easy, so every time I did hit the shuttle I felt good.


At the end of every session we had to aim for the bin and try to hit the shuttle in. In Badminton you have to concentrate really hard so you get it right. If you don't get it right its ok just try again.

In the 3rd session we had a different tutor who was younger than the other one. Our normal instructor was away because she was playing in a masters tournament. She won a silver medal and brought it in to show us in the last Badminton session.


On the last week of badminton we were all excited when we saw the nets because we wanted to test ourselves and see if we were a better player against another player. Now Badminton is one of my favourite sports thanks to this school who provided it for us. Everyone was happy to know that Badminton was finished and excited to know what the next sport

Auckland Snows


The snow fell in Auckland City yesterday on the 15 of August. Cars were stuck on roads and people were cold in there beds and could not get out of the house. Some people were surprised at the weather because it hasn’t snowed in Auckland for a very long time. Lots of people have never seen or touched snow before. In the snow people like to make snow angles. ell in Auckland City yesterday on the 15 of August. Cars were stuck on roads and people were cold in there beds and could not get out of the house.

Every day Room 15 walks to the pools called Y. M. C. A. I was looking forward to swimming because I haven’t been swimming in a long time. When we were going to the pools I found out that we were going swimming with room 17. I was excited. Then we all walk inside the pools and smelt chlorine. When everyone got in the pools there was one big pool and one medium pool. I was in the big pool with Animei and Minhaj. I was very slow but I kept trying then I got faster and faster. Then it was time to get out. I quickly got dressed and walked out of the pools to wait with the others. I like the pools because it helps me to swim and keep safe. Then off we all walked back to school safe and sound. After all that I felt like going to sleep but I didn’t because it was school time.

Auckland Tornado 2011

On Tuesday Auckland had a tornado that destroyed most of North Shore. The Tornado ripped off roof tops, broke trampolines, and even killed two people. One man got thrown 20 metres up in the air by the tornado.

The best thing to do to survive a tornado is to get under a table and hold on. I Thought the tornado was coming to East Auckland. If it did i would feel very very scared because it might come near my house and crush me, or throw me in the air like it had all ready done to the man on the North shore. I couldn’t believe that there was a tornado in Auckland.
