On the 23rd of October, our school did Athletics! The sports events we did was, long jump, high jump, sprints and long-distance. I enjoyed sprints the most, in the 50m I came 2nd and in the 80m I also came 2nd. Zoe came first in both races and Ava came third in both races as well. In long-distance we have to run 1,000m! In high jump, there was a competitive high jump and a non-competitive high jump. I decided to do the competitive. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again!

Fractions
Kia ora, in problem solving we are learning about proportions and ratios. Me and my buddy, Abbey solved this question. Keahn invited 35 guests to his birthday party, however only five sevenths of the guests were able to come. How many of the guests were able to attend? Here is our thinking.
This is our working out on a whiteboard! |

Water Safety
Kia Ora, for two weeks now we have been doing swimming lessons at Pioneer. Today we started water safety, which is where you learn how to act if you fall off a boat and end up in the water. We learnt how to stay warm and stay together in the water. The best part was that we got to wear life jackets! Tomorrow our group is going to learn about boat safety. Here are some photos.

The Journey
As I quietly creep up the stairs shivering from the cold damp air, the Argentina music plays very loudly. I stand next to my friends, waiting for the Brazil music to play. I feel so nervous I could just break down. As the music plays our part to come on I rush through the curtains to face the blinding lights. I smile to the pitch black audience. I feel the flow of adrenaline as it rushes through me. As the music dies down I feel the relief as I walk up to the front of the stage for the finale. The music finishes and everybody claps like maniacs as we walk down the aisle. We walk outside to the cold breeze then I think, “All that hard work paid off.”
