It'sMaori Language Week

Cross Country

The bell rang and everybody was excited as they ran into the classroom. We all went to toilet and then got a drink and raced up to the front field. We found our lines and sat down on the blue tarpaulins so that we didn’t get our shorts wet.

First the year six girls went then the boys and it kept going wn all the way to the year three girls and went on a bit further. When it got to the year three girls it was my turn. I swept to the line and got into position. It was about there minutes until e could start. I had huge butterflies in my tummy then suddenly Dave crashed the wooden blocks and we all started to run. I saw a slow, young looking girl. I overtook her. I could see the finish line. I sprinted and then I was in the tube. In it you are not allowed to pass but an older girl pushed in front of me. I would have come 19^th but I came 20^th because of her. I walked to the drinking fountain then skipped happily back to the blue tarpaulins and sat down to cheer the year twos.

Finally it was time to go back to room 5. Viv gave us our sentence books then we all happily walked or ran quickly to our parents and went home.

Kangaroos

Kangaroos are large animals that live in Australia.
Kangaroos are not mammals, they are marsupials. They are a tiny as jelly beans when they are first born and they pull themselves up to the pouch to live on their mum’s milk.
Baby kangaroos are called joeys. In six months the joeys are allowed to go out of the pouch. If they go too far away the mum will call them back.
If a joey’s in a pouch while a dingo’s nearby she will drop her joey in a safe place and come back later.
A strong male kangaroo is the boss of the mob. A mob is the group of kangaroos. If another kangaroo wants to be the boss they will fight. They fight by kicking and punching.
