Holidays
In the holidays I didn't do much apart from swimming. Right at the beginning of the holidays I had a three day swimming meet at Baywave. It was a really hard swimming meet because there were more than 200 people there and a lot of them were in my age group. In my age group there was about 50 girls. After all my races I would go and check what placing I was every time I was in the top 20. It was a really fun meet but there weren't many people from my swimming club and It was really hot and stuffy in there so I always had to go out and get fresh air.
At the end of the holidays I had another swimming meet this time it was at Rotorua. This swimming meet was a lot easier because there wasn't as much people as the other swimming meet. This time there was 18 of us from my club, so when we were sitting on the bleachers it was really really squishy. In these races I didn't do as well and I didn't get any personal bests. My coach Paul was really happy with the turn but he wasn't so happy about my times. Apparently Rotorua pool is the hardest pool to swim in because it is a different type of water. The water is a lot thicker well that is what I have been told. Overall I still got in the top 5 for everything, next time I need to try a bit harder and get better results.
On the last day of the holidays I was still in Rotorua, I was staying in this flash hotel they have a swimming pool, gym, computers with wifi, bar and restaurant. On Sunday morning I got to wake up and go down stairs for a free bistro breakfast. After lunch my Dad, my brother and I got to go to Paradise Vally there were lots of animals like, lions, fish, horses, trout, alpakas and deer.

Term 2
Term 2 Overview
This term we have had lots of special events such as... camp, cross country, production and Interhouse soccer. My biggest highlight was defiantly Camp It was filled with lots of fun activities and awesome moments. My lowlight is the interhouse soccer, because in the finals when we were versing Rata, we lost. We were in a tie until we got a penalty and the other team scored the goal. I enjoyed cross country because when I was running I had a burst of excitement so that made me faster. In the end of it I came 36 which was much better compared to last years where I got 84. Finally there was production which has only just happened. I enjoyed watching it, but they had a few mistakes along the way. At the end so many people got sick and so many people still haven't came back. This term was really fun I enjoyed it heaps. I have improved on my cross country score from last year. I need to improve on writing more complex sentences.

The Production
This week it was the Tauranga Intermediate production, called a Most Triumphant Tale. Yesterday Tauranga Intermediate made there way up to Bay Court to watch the mates and pairs perform.
When we reached Bay Court we ended up standing there for about fifteen minutes until we finally get to go in. Once we got in there were heaps of seats and since I was towards the front of the line we were right down the front. Once it started we were eager to watch it. Since I was sitting next to Sharnae she talked for most of the thing.
The production was about two bands battling until there is a winner. One dimension was a lip singing group and Labyrinth wasn't Labyrinth had some bumps along the way but in the end they got it all sorted out for the compition to see who will win. In the end Labyrinth won.
I think one thing that annoyed me was star man coming on all the time and talking about the story I think that he came on a litte too much and he started to get up my nerves.

Homework P7
Physical activity and outdoors: Design your own challenge
Run Up and down the mount for one week
In the Christmas holiday's I stayed at the mount camping ground for about two weeks next to where Travis was staying and every second morning I would go around the mount. One morning I asked If I could run up and down to get fitter, and my Dad said yes, he told me that he and my brother would walk it and I could run.
I was thinking about how to pace it out so I said that I would run everything but the every second lot of steps on the way up and run down. I ended up running most of it because I took the gravel four wheel drive track. On the way up It was very hard but I was eager to make it to the top. Once I got about half way it had only been 10 minutes. For the last half my calfs felt like they were going to fall off which they didn't. In total on the way up it took me 16 minutes. I paused the timer at the top and stood and looked at the view for 5 minutes and then made my way back down.
On the way down I was thinking for an aim time and I came up with 10 minutes and for the total time about 30 minutes. When I was running down the gravel path it was really slippery so I had to go a little bit slower. Once I reached the other side where the sun was I felt like I was nearly there which I was. My final time for coming down was 12minutes and my total time overall was 28minutes which I was very impressed with. So I decided that I would do that for a whole week and see how much I improve and I will write it all down on a piece of paper.

Persuasive Letter
Dear Milly,
I am here to persuade you to come and join swimming. I think that you should join swimming because everybody at one stage needs to learn to swim in life. I have been swimming for two years and I enjoy it lots now. There are heaps of different stages at our swimming club. We have four different types of groups. There is one for little kids who can't even swim yet, there is another for the people who can swim but not that confidently. Then we have a group which there are quite a few swimmers in this group is for the kids who can do 100meters none stop and are not competitive. The last group is the top group which I am in every 1 hour and 30 minute session the coach does a dry land set, and then he does heaps of different sets in the water that adds up to 3 or 4k. You should join Tauranga Swimming club because we have heaps of fun little meets like chocolate fish night, and club champs which is where you swim the fastest and try and come first in your age group to get trophies and medals. I think that you should join swimming because it is a fun and competitive experience.
Hockey isn't a very enjoyable sport and you can get injured very easily. I think that swimming is more enjoyable and fun to do. Also you get to go around the bay of plenty to heaps of meets, and sometimes the whole of New Zealand. Thats why I think that you should join swimming!!!

Homework A8
Academic Excellence: Design your own challenge
Create A Story at least 5 Chapters long.
Chapter One
As I stumbled to the ground in tears all I could hear was laughter. Oh maybe I should Introduce myself my name is Tom, I live in Iceland, Europe. I moved here not long ago because my Dad got a job here it was a very good deal so he couldn't turn it down. We packed our bags and left within five days, he didn't let me have a say in this at all so all I got to do was so good bye to all my friends and leave. Being the new guy here isn't easy all the kids are picking on me and calling me names. I haven't even gone to school yet, I hope the kids who live down my road don't go to the same school.
"Rise and shine it's the first day of school." My dad explained in a calm voice. As I grumbled out of bed I had a feeling that today was going to be a bad day, I knew that all the kids would pick on me. I know why they pick on me there are lots of reasons, it is just not fair. I am short and stubby, don't have all the latest gear and I am new.
Chapter Two
As I walked into the school gate a shiver went up my spine I knew that this was going to go down hill real fast. As I noticed a familier face I tried to avoid him, it was Peter he lives down my road he is one of the most annoying people I know. He isn't mean but there are a lot of other things wrong with him. Like his high pitched voice and his annoying allergies. I think that he wants to be my friend but if I talk to him I may get laughed at for hanging out with a guy like him. I need to try and find the right friends so then I can get a good reputation, and become the schools cool kid. I tried to look around for someone who I could make friends with. Just as I noticed a tall sporty looking guy, the bell went and everyone entered class.
I wasn't sure where to sit and what to do since I had never been to this school and I was the new guy. As I looked around the class for a seat that wasn't near Peter but just as I was about to sit in a seat the teacher walked in and told me to come up the front. As I turned around to say 'sure in a second.' a girl walked in and sat in my seat. The only seat left was right next to Peter in the most disgusting seat at the back of the class. As the teacher started introducing me to the class I turned and looked at the girl who took my seat she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she had blond hair, blue eyes and she looked very charming.
Chapter Three
As I turned away from her I noticed that I had been staring with my mouth wide open, the whole class was laughing. When I walked to the back of the class to take a seat Peter gave me a present and told me that he made it last night for me. When I opened it up I saw all these tooth picks stuck together into the shape of a circle. As I tried to smile back at him and thank him the teacher yelled and told us wether we would like to share what we have been discussing, and of course Peter yelled yes. Miss Gollip told us to come up the front and bring what ever was in our hands so that is exactly what I did. I started to mumble what it was and then all of a sudden the Principal walked in. I was trying to hid the present from Peter behind my back but the Principal noticed it and said 'Peter always gives the new students at our school a gift he is a top A student and a great role model.' The children in the class started to giggle lightly.
"OK, back to work everyone." Miss Gollip Said. As I went back and sat down in my seat, I continued with my work. I kept on getting distracted by laughter in front of us it was the girls. I wanted to know wether they were talking about me or what they were on about.
Chapter Four
At the end of the day I noticed a whole bunch people walking across the road and there she was standing there giggling with her friends, I noticed that I should make a plan so that I can catch up with her, but then Peter came over. He asked me what I was doing after school and wether I wanted to catch up with him. I slowly said no I have to do something and then ran off the way that the group of girls went.
As I was running I was trying to think how could I figure out her name, and most of all how could I talk to her. I had one more problem I had no friends. I stopped in the middle of the road and looked around for a person that I could be friends with. Thats when I noticed a guy from class, he was very quiet and he seemed to not be bothered by me. I thought for a minute and then walked up to him and asked wether we could be mates, he said yes and then we walked off.
Chapter Five
The next day at school I walked up to the girls with my mate Jack. I asked her, her name and asked wether she would like to come hang out with us later and she replied with a yes and then gave me her number.
When we were walking out of school she ran up to me and said that I was really cool and wished me the best for my new life and that she would like to hang out some more and maybe get a little bit closer. I agreed and we all lived happily ever after...

Book review 3
Grace
11,422 people will go to heaven. Outsiders are sinners, so you shouldn’t go near them. Members of the church should obey the church elders and they must never lie. These are only some of the strict rules and beliefs that Grace’s church has.
It all starts at a barbecue held at Grace’s place. Her father starts asking questions and he gets into an argument. Then the sausages catch fire. Then the barbecue comes to an abrupt end.
Grace’s father always questions the elders, so as you can imagine, Grace does to. Asking questions that the elders can’t answer is considered a sin. The only way to stop Grace growing up to be a sinner like her father is to remove him, and that is what happens.
Grace will do anything to get her father back, even break the rules, which is exactly what she does.
This book follows Grace’s desperate and crazy attempts to reunite her family. It has a strong message which I think is presented well. While I was reading, I felt like she was me and it was all happening right now, right infront of me. I recommend reading this book it is a quite challenge book but very interesting and I would love to read more.
