The Gillies cup

 Gillies Cup

Last week we had something called the Gillies Cup. It  was so fun. My team and I played at Mangapapa School in soccer. The goals were so small , but it's probably because I am used to big goals. When I looked at the other team the goalie stood out. He was so tall! We had are team talk under the tree because it was raining. After are talk the game started. I was subbed first and was warming up on the side lines. Beep! The whistle blew we finally started Jaxon ran up with the ball at his feet like a cheetah dribbling with the ball. Boom! It hit the back of the net. It was currently 1-0. 

The other team started off with the ball. They passed backwards to the center mid. The center mid dribbled up and past our center mid. Mangapapa dribbled past me and scored. After that we scored too then it was the second half. We ran to our coaches and sorted out our positions. Finally the second half started. I was in center back witch in the middle of the defenders. 

My team passed back to me and I booted it all the way up past half way. Jaxon got the ball and took a shot and missed but then Neko finished the job. My team took the ball off the other team and crossed it. Boom! We scored again. Me and my team new we were going to beat them by now. It was five minest till the end and then we scored again. The final whistle blew I collapsed to the ground. I landed in a puddle.  

Cross country

 Cross country

Today we had something called cross country. Cross country is a running race. In a cross country race you have to run uphill a lot. I will tell you about my race. Here it is...

Bang!!! I looked around is confusion all of the boys in my year started running so I followed then. At the start of the race I realised that was the start for the cross country. I sped up I was coming 5th. I went even faster up the sandy hill. I was finally coming 3rd. My friend Olly was in front of me and in front of him was Moss. Finally I passed Olly after 2 minutes. I brushed the sweat off of my forehead then got to my second lap. I tried to pass Moss but when I sped up he sped up too. 

We were half way through the second lap. I thought I was going to pass out. I felt as tired as a koala. I started to get slower and slower, but I new the finish line was just ahead. When the finish line was ahead I looked back. I saw Roy right behind me. I sprinted as hard as I could and I dove across the finish line coming 2nd place.

Mangaone Farm

 Mangaone Farm

This week I did a quick write about Mangaone Farm. It's a farm that we went to last week and had a really good time. Here it is.

Last week we went to a farm called Mangaone.

It was very warm there it felt like a heatwave on the beach. When we got there we went to plant trees on the wetlands. It was a hard job because you had to pull out all of the weeds around the tree like a tyre shape.

My best friend Jaxon and I planted twenty four trees in three hours. When we were done we ran as fast as we could to get our lunches and water. After that we had to go back again for another hour.

When I was putting a plant into the soil a tiny bug crawled up my arm. It felt like a worm going up my spine. So that is what we did at Mangaone farm.
