Archery at the london Olympic Games

Archery is a Olympic sport, there are different types of archery so there are different rules. Archery is gonna be held at lord’s cricket ground at the London 2012 Olympic games. Did you know the first archery competition was organised in Finsbury, London, in 1583!

Archery competitions can be held inside or outside, in each competition the people will be divided into ends with each archer shooting 3 or 6 arrows. Archery is suitable for competitors with experience. If you get a bulls eye you get a huge score for your team, if you hit anywhere close to the red dot you get a smaller amount of points.

Archery is a challenging game. All you have to do is concentrate on the target it will be very tricky because you might fall over or shoot the arrow in the wrong place. Before archery was an olympic game people used bows and arrows for hunting and warfare 10,000 years ago.

If you want to try this sport you may need: something to keep you balanced, if you're playing it outside you may need glasses so the sun won’t distract you, bow and arrow. You also need a target and some protective gear. Don't forget practice makes perfect!

Term 3

I was so excited to go back to school so I quickly packed my bag and got in my sister's car to go to school. When I got to school I saw my friends and went to class with them, as we were walking and talking it started to rain we ran and made it to class. So we entered our classroom and it was nice and warm. We hanged our bags up and took our netbooks out of our bags, the bell rang so we ran outside. It was raining so we ran to the breeze.

We entered the hall and sat down, then Mr Jacobson came passed he looked like those people who fight in the war! Everyone was quiet because Mr jacobson was talking on the microphone. He was telling us about the olympics and why he is dressed up like a war guy. He was also waiting for team 1, 2, 3 and 4 so they can do their play or movie.

Team 4 was my favorite because their movie was hilarious! Mr S was dressed up in a diving suit, then there was Miss Garden wearing a swimsuit. Mr Marks was wearing a wig and he has a giant flat hand and Miss king was a mermaid! Miss Ouano was Anastatia, they were all synchronized swimming in a pool!

Going to the Warehouse

On saturday morning I had to wake up really early because we are going to the warehouse. I was freezing when I got to the bathroom, I changed into my warm clothes and into my boots I was still cold. So we went into the car and my sister started the car and then we were off. We were going to the Manukau warehouse so it was a long ride.

As soon as we got there we parked the car in the car park, then we crossed the road and entered the warehouse. I quickly ran to the book section to look for the 'Dare to Dream' book - It's a One Direction book. So I finally got it and as I was walking by some videos I noticed there was a one direction up all night tour video so I got it, it was really expensive but it was worth it!! I was looking for my brother so he can come with me so I can get my stuff. When we were walking past the magazine part and I saw a One Direction mag I was about to get it but i’m supposed to get one book each week, that means I can get it next weekend!


I finally got my things so I ran to the car and jumped in with all my things. We all got what we wanted so now we can go home.

My Fantastic Holiday

In the holidays it was a very hot day so I asked my sister if we can go to the beach. “Sure” She replied, So we were getting our towel, sunscreen, some food and some ice-blocks to eat on the way. I was super excited i was all hyper! We were all packed to go to the beach so we rushed to the car. It was super hot in the car it felt like we were in a oven, I got a ice-block from the cooler. As soon as I finished my ice-block my tongue was red from the ice-block.

We parked in the car park and there were a lot of cars around so we parked far away from the parking area. As soon as we got out of our car we quickly walked to the big tree to sit under, we were having a snack before going in the water. As soon as i finished my snack I ran to the sea but when I got up to the sand I walked slowly in the sea because there are rocks. When I walked into the water it was so cold but that cooled me down on a really hot day, I swam to the deep side because there are no rocks there only soft sand.

As soon as I got to that part of the sea I saw my cousin swimming to me. I was glad she came because we always talk about One Direction. So we were talking about One Direction and suddenly my sister yelled at us that if we want some more snacks, we were a bit hungry so we ran out of the water , up the stairs and had a race to the big tree. It was very far so we took 4 breaks and then we got up to the big tree. We both had red ice-blocks some of them were melting in this hot weather.

Soon as we finished our ice-block my cousin said “ I forgot I brought my tennis ball” so we both went to her dads car and looked for the ball. I finally found the ball so we ran off the car park and ran on the grass. When we saw my sister walk up to us she said “10 more minutes” we gave the ball to my sister and we ran down the stairs to go to the water, we were diving, racing each other and when the 10 were over we were crawling out of the water.When we were crawling out of the water it really feels like the water is pulling you in.
