Athletics By Rayanna

Last Tuesday we had athletics, first we did discus I threw it the furtherest of all the 11 year old girls and bet most of the 11 year old boys. I threw it 17 meters I was really proud of myself. Next we did shot put but and I only got a 2 for that it was a bit disappointing. The shot put was really heavy though. After morning tea we did long jump my first jump was 2.88 meters then my second jump was 2.88 meters. After I did high jump and got a 3 for it YAH!. I didn't do well in sprints but got into the final twice. That was the end of athletics and I enjoyed myself.

Canterbury's Worst Nightmare By Rayanna

It was a cold Saturday morning I woke my friend Melissa up to tell her to put the fire back on but there was no more matches. So I tried to go back to sleep on her couch when the house started shaking.

During that time I thought the whole house was moving towards her fence Melissa jumped up and started screaming "EARTHQUAKE!!! wake up!" I still was lying in bed a couple of minutes after that.

Her whole family plus me were standing in the doorway terrified down to the bone well I was. A little butterfly plate fell down and broke in their house and that was it.

After the whole family went to back to bed,I didn't want to sleep in the lounge so we moved into Melissa's room. I couldn't get back to sleep after how furiously the house had shaken.

Later, about 7 o'clock, Melissa and I got up and made ballon animals. Then just out of the bloom a pretty good aftershock happened. Soon after I didn't want to touch the ground incase it lifted or put a big humungous hole in the floor. When we were all up and it was sunny outside I could see kids playing like nothing had happened.

During the next day I had to go to Kaiapoi Pony Club. It was scary because we had to go across the old waimakariri bridge and it had lifted about 30 centimeters.

After about 6 days of aftershocks I got sick of them and went down to my bache where we couldn't feel them. So we went whitebait fishing and I went for some walks over the past 2 days, to get back to more aftershocks.

It was a scary time and I found out about people who had been hurt off one news so I could be updated.

So I hope Canterbury doesn't have a disaster that big again or one at all.

The BIG EARTHQUAKE!! By Melissa

On Saturday the 4th of September Christchurch had a BIG EARTHQUAKE!! This is my story.

On the morning of the EARTHQUAKE I had my friend Rayanna over for the next day for my
birthday party. The morning of the QUAKE at about 4:30 am Rayanna asked me to put the
fire on,but I told her that there was no matches left.

Later about 4:45 am the EARTHQUAKE struck. I screamed to wake everyone up, after that
I yelled "Mum, Dad wake up EARTHQUAKE!!" then my Dad yelled "EARTHQUAKE get 

under a doorframe!!" 

After the EARTHQUAKE finished we checked every thing in the house and every thing was

okay. I checked our rabbit, he was fine. 

Later we went to checked some of Rayanna's horses, they were all fine, too. A lot of people

from my street came and looked around to see if there was any damage and what the 

damage was.

Thats my story!!

Uninvited Earthquake by Brandon

On Saturday fourth of September four forty five am there was a uninvited Earthquake that made Christchurch a disaster zone. When I woke up my bunk was shaking I fell on the floor my mum came up the hallway me and Caleb and Cameron went into the lounge.My baby brother was still sleeping we went outside a sewage pipe burst it looked like water was flowing in from new Brighton beach . You could here the waves flowing and it looked like the water was frozen our ornaments and china smashed then my family went to my Nana's .It will take a couple of years to fix Christchurch. The earthquake made some of Christchurch residents homeless and have to live with family. some Christchurch residents are stranded without water food and power some lost china ornaments photos and electronics .It was like a million gigantic boulders have been dropped on christchurch.

The Canterbury Quake By Rayanna

Saturday 4th of September about 4.30 am I told Melissa to put the fire back on. She said that there was no more matches so I tried to go back to sleep when it started the house was shaking furiously and Melissa started screaming mum,dad wake up EARTHQUAKE!! I was still lying on the couch and then I got up when one of her mums plates fell down. We were standing in the door way until it stopped. They told us to go back to sleep but I couldn't go back to sleep because I was so shocked and not expecting it. So the rest of the morning I got no sleep at all and no one could stand the after shocks in my family. After it was light me and Melissa started making ballon animals then we had another surprise after shock. Luckily nothing had fallen down  her street. I rang my mum to make sure my horses were ok and lucky there wasn't anyother disaster going to happen anytime soon. I found out what happened when we watched channel one because they were keeping us updated.

I love to do Karate.

Hi my name is Justice and my story is about when I used to do Karate.

I was 8 years old and my dad came and picked me up from after school. I didn't know what was happening until we got in the car. My dad said to me
"Guess where we are going?"
"Where?"
"Where going to Karate"my dad told me,"When you and your sister were up north your mum and I wanted you to get into a different type of sport and then we found a Karate class at a place called Christon Cobblers and that is exactly were we are going."

I was excit...well I don't know how I felt,I was just quite happy that I was doing something other than watching televison all day.We finally reached Christon Cobblers,so we parked the car and walked up the stairs to get to the Karate dojo.

MY REPORT ON A CHEETAH.BY FAITH.

18.08.10

 Today was so cool. We got to chose our own  animal to do our reports on. But it was quite hard looking for the information .Because we had already done one on african elephants. The whole

class had to do one on elephants  independently .

TOUCH!!! by Brandon

On Friday we played a good game will even though we did not get a try for the game of the day. But the next game we got one try  i got heaps of runaways in both games Owen scored the try that made us win .In the other team they had real fast girls but Reko could catch them . That team was good and Tepini  was a good coach and he noticed like forward passes and knock ons and all sorts of things.

Wean I went to my dads farm

On friday  got a cool by my Gran . She  asked me if I want to go to my dads farm . She new that I would  say yes .So on the day I finally got there I was so happy and I ran inside and saw my dad  and ran up to him and gave him a hug .

TOUCH!!!:)

TOUCH IS AN AMAZING SPORT BECAUSE BASICALLY YOU JUST TAP THE RUGBY BALL ON YOUR FOOT OR KNEE THEN YOUR OFF!!!

BUT IF YOU GET TOUCHED EVEN JUST ALITTE BIT YOU DO A DUMMY HALF...

A DUMMY HALF IS A PERSON WHO PICKS UP THE RUGBY BALL UNDER YOUR LEGS. THE DUMMY HALFS JOB IS TO PICK THE RUGBY BALL  UP AND DO A HEROIC PASS TO SOMEONE IN YOUR TEAM.

IF YOUR TEAM MATE GET TOUCHED MORE THAN 6 TIMES YOU HAVE TO HAND THE RUGBY BALL OVER TO THE OTHER TEAM...

ITS PRETTY MUCH LIKE RUGBY.....

THATS HOW YOU PLAY TOUCH!!!

Rayanna's Netball Report

In term two i tried out for netball and i got in the team.I enjoyed my first game cause i was the shooter and i was really good , so was every one else in the team.With great team work we won.We had won every game if it wasn't raining then we got to term three and we moved up a grade.It was a lot harder being in a better grade because we had to work a lot better as a team.All our other games in term two we had to stop the game early because we had already gotten over 30 goals.Our first game in the new grade was hard cause they were a lot better than the other people we had vs ed.At first we were losing then i got put as goal shot and we won cause everyone couldn't bare losing and Miss Bedggood didn't want to lose either.Then our next game was against my first school i ever went to and that was hard but we drew.So now you are caught up in all the netball business and tomorrow we have our winter tournament and we have 6 games and if we win them all we will go to the playoffs an i think we will win them all.

Thanks Miss Bedggood for a great season
