My First Day at School

When my mum and me walked down the flash street we saw the red school ahead of us. When I walked into the entrance of the school I started to shake and cry. My mum said to me that it will be all right and don’t worry about it. So I listened to her and I saw some kids and they came up to me and said “hi”. That was good because that means they would probably look after me. When I knew what class I was in we walked towards it and my mum said goodbye and left.

Before my mum left we saw lots of different faces and I did not know any of them. My first teacher was Mrs. Skelton she was very nice but sometimes she could be angry. Like any teacher but altogether she was good. I was in her room for about 2 terms, which wasn’t long. After that I went year 1 because when you start school it is called new entrance. For the first week of school I was really sad. I cried every time when my mum left to drop me off.

My Holiday

In the holidays I went out to Bridge Pa Aerodrome for gliding it made me feel happy because I could just see plane which makes me happy. It was a very windy day. When I got the gliders ready with the other people out there they said to me, “do you want to go up today?”. When they said that I was really happy but I said no because it was to windy for me but then later on in the day another person asked me so I said yes. We got the glider ready for take-off and checked everything was ok and it was. Once we got into the glider we had to put on our parachutes but nothing ever happens really. When we strapped ourselves in I was really scared but it was alright. Then we had to do our cockpit checks and there is a lot to learn but it will be easy once I get the hang of it.

We turned everything on except for the motor because gliders don't have any engines, the engine is the wind and the ability of the pilot. Once we got ready we buzzed the tow plane which is a Cessna 152 which has two seats and is a single engine aircraft. He said “roger that take-off, lets go”. We got around 40-65 knots ( 80-130 km)  that is the speed we took off at. Once we got in the air it was really bumpy. That is not nice  it feels so yuk but I have to get over that if I want to be a pilot. We got to around 2700 ft which is pretty high we let go of the tow plane and I said to the pilot, “lets go land it is too bumpy for me”. So we come into land and there was lots of crosswind and that made us go sideways but we still landed. We got a max 3G forces in the air which means negative G forces which means you go down and that feels like you are going to come out of your seat, but you don't, it was really fun but next time I want to go up on a smooth day.

Why I like this piece of writing / I like it because it has flying in it and its telling the reader what I like and it is describing what I do at the aerodrome.

What to improve / Next time I need to have a little bit more information.  

The Sick Lion

This is about a lion that is sick and he dies. The lion was helpless and a big boar came along to help. They were both helpless too , and the lion kicked his heels and that was a double death. The lion felt safe from danger and was better.

T.A.C.S

Last week we did the T.A.C.S triathlon I was in a team. My team was with Jacob , Sam and me. We did really well and I was the runner we came 26 or 28 which is Pretty good. My run was 2 km and it was really hot and hard but I did finish.  

The New Zealand Navy Band

The New Zealand Navy Band              

I jumped onto the bus and it was cool but really loud when I hoped off the bus I had a headache. When we got over to Napier we jumped out of the bus and we had to line up. When we did that we went in and got a seat and it was so fun. The Navy Band was really cool and they were dressed in white so you wouldn't want the suits to get DIRTY. It would have taken ages to learn how to play on their instruments that fast. When they finished they gave some C.D’s out to the kids that participated on the stage. They showed us the drums and how good they were on them they were really fast.

Their band is really big and really fast with their instruments I don’t know how they practice all that when they are on the sea all the time. They must have to fit it all into their spare time. When I saw how good they were on the drums that is what I liked the most. They made such a cool beat and sound. It was an awesome experience seeing the Navy Band. They play at the theatre every year. We saw all sorts of things: Drums , Trumpets , Flutes, Banjo , Symbols and a Mini Trumpet. The Navy Band is really cool to watch and they are all really inspiring.
