Camp 2017

If I met Richie

If I met Richie I would say to him “Hey Richie,

1.Why did you retire from being an All black?

2.Thank you for being humble and not starting any fights in your career.

3.You have definitely been a G.A.B.”

Camp Follow Up 2017

I am doing a follow up on my school camp for 2017. The the thing that I found hard was trying to catch a prawn at the Huka Prawn Park because they kept taking my bait.

 I am proud of myself  for doing the log on the Rock’n’Ropes course because when I got to the top I said I didn’t want to do it but I took a few steps and did it anyway.

My favourite thing was probably the Taupo Kayaking because it was a fun ride down the river and the instructors were funny but also serious.

The yummiest meal had to be the burgers we had at AC Baths hot pools, they were really yummy.

My least favourite thing was the Amazing race because some of the structures had been taken down and moved somewhere else.

The funniest thing was when someone farted in the cabin and it stunk for the rest of the night😂

The scariest thing was when a strange noise was coming from outside the cabin and I didn’t know who or what it was.

The happiest time was when we got to swim in the lake and someone kicked a ball and we had to chase it.

My favourite parent helper was probably Curly Callum Ls dad because he joined in when we were on the big swing at the playground. He nearly made us go upside down while pushing us!

My favourite instructor was Ryan from the kayaking because he had an Irish looking boat;)

The team member that impressed me the most was Cooper because he said he wasn’t going to do the big swing at Rock’n’Ropes but he did do it in the end.    

I learnt that working in a team is better than working alone.

My goal for camp was to work with people that I don’t work with. I have achieved my goal.

My advice to people that or going to go on camp in the future is to drink a lot of water.

The person that inspired me was Murphy because he did everything with a broken arm.

Great Uncle Colin's Birthday

On the 25th of March it was my great uncle Colin's birthday and he was turning 80. He lives in Katikati which is about ten-15 minutes past Waihi. When we got there it was lunch time and I had sushi and pizza.

Later on we were singing happy birthday and great uncle Colin cut the cake which was a fruit cake. After that we played some games. One of the was when you had to hold a balloon between your legs and walk to a certain point and back. We played another game called Red Light Green Light( I’m pretty sure you know how to play that game).  

The Silly Things We Say

So I was in the car one day with Mum and I said “Hey Mum, do calves legs bend?” And she just starts laughing and laughing, and I’m like “what are you laughing at?” And she’s like “do you realise what you’ve just said?” And then I start laughing and laughing. Have you ever said or done something really silly that you wish you hadn’t, please comment below.

Thames Valley Swimming 2nd edition

Yesterday was the Thames Valley Swimming Sports. I qualified for 25 Backstroke and 50 Breaststroke.  I did better than a I had expected, I got third in my 50 meter Breaststroke and I think I got in the top three for my 25 Backstroke.

I swim in Thames three times a week so I am used to the pool. I was nervous when I was about to do my 25 Back because I sometimes bump into the lane rope. In my Backstroke it was a really tight finish. This was the last competition for my area so I am really proud of myself for getting through.

Thames Valley Swimming Sports

On Wednesday the 15th of March I am going to the Thames Valley Swimming Sports. I have qualified for two races, 25 meter Backstroke and 50 meter Breaststroke. I have been to Thames Valley three times in the past. I am feeling nervous because there are some pretty fast people out there. I hope I will get into the top three for my races. On Thursday I will have information on how it went. I hope I get a special dinner afterwards;)

Waikato Junior Swimming Championships

On Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of March the Waikato Junior Swimming Champs are on at St Peter's College in Cambridge. This is my first ever Championship meet so I am quite nervous. I have entered in the 50, 100 and 200 meter Breaststroke and the 50 and 100 meter Freestyle. This meet is the biggest I have ever been to, there could be over 500 swimmers attending it! I swim for Thames Swimming Club and have been there for almost a year. Our coach Sophie is really proud of us because she thinks we are a strong junior squad.
