Swimming

For the whole of term four Chris has been teaching us how to swim in the pool just out side of our clases door on the court. We are lucky that we have this wonderful swimming pool. My goal was to swim under the water without taking a breath. I wish I could beat Miss King at a race but I couldn't. I have learnt how to swim like a dolphin and I will like to do that again. I have loved our pool at our school and I hope we have it again.
At lunch we have some swimming activities. My activity is water polo. I really like water polo and I would like to do it again. Water polo is like a game of soccer but its in the water and you can only use one hand. Our teachers Mat, Nicole and Ben play for NZ. They taught us how to juggle the ball and pass it side to side. Water polo is very cool to play, but some times you sweat in the hats you wear.

Scorpion

The vicous scorpion lives in the sahara deseret.
As the fearsome and venomous scorpion defends its self by using its large pincers.
After the scorpion kills its prey it injects the venom from it.
With a narow curved tail it stings its prey with the stinger.
Do you think a Tarantula can kill a Scorpion?

Butterfly

As the butterfly flies around it lays an egg on a leaf. The egg hatches and the caterpillar eats heaps and heaps of milk weed so it can turn into a butterfly. It eats milk weed so it has enough energy to turn into a butterfly. It also eats milk weed so when it is an adult butterfly and a bird eats it it will spit it back out.

After the catapilar was full it goes to a tree and hangs up side down and turns into a chrysalis. It hangs up side down for about two and a half weeks until the chrysalis turns black. After two weeks a butterfly pops out of the chrysalis and waits for their wings to dry out then flies away.

Tarantula

Dripping with venom slowly marching the tarantulas fangs covered in blood. It prepares to hunt down its prey. With its razor sharp fangs covered in blood it prepares to ambush its prey. Under the darkness it hunts down its food. As the tarantula sat down he enjoyed eating dinner.

Honey Bee

From one flower to the next the honey bee flits their wings as they collect precious nectar. As the bee appears out of control, its pollen drops on the ground spreading flowers around. Buzzing and spinning, the honey bee collects precious nectar for its hive.

Cross Country

Nervously waiting on the cold hard concrete,I challenged my self to beat my mates at todays cross country. The ugly ,whistling, windy weather was so cold, that it was biting my face. Huffing and puffing I sprinted up to the finish line, while the crowd was cheering me on. Just as I passed the line I was ready for a rest after our long and tiring run.
