My Holiday Highlight

Zooming on the train that was colored bright shiny blue, the hot iron tracks squeaked like a squirrel. Dad and I were heading to the viaduct to discover more things about our awesome rugby team the All Blacks. The train stopped and we were finally there. I was so surprised when my Dad and I jumped out of the train, because there were so many people. I couldn't wait to go into the big humongous rugby ball because      I heard that there was heaps of information in there. Waiting in the exhausting hot and sweaty line I got so angry because it took for ever. As the line started moving I got happier and happier. Yah I said! We are right up front so we will be the next group in. There were comedians entertaining us so we wouldn't  get bored. The big massive rugby ball could fit two hundred people in it.

Rugby 7s

Our Rugby 7s won the Auckland champs and then they went to the New Zealand champs. They took out the tournament and also won some shiny trophies. They were presented to them because they are now the NZ champs. A couple of players from each school were chosen for Tournament team. Most of the players in Pt England plays for Mt Wellington Warriors. They played many games and won all of them with very large scores. Charm got many cool tries. I would love to be in the rugby 7s team in the future! Well Done boys!

Warriors Vs West Tigers

Waiting for Simon Mannering to flip the coin, I ran to the kitchen to grab some ice-cream. My mum made an apricot sponge so we had that with our ice-cream. I walked to the lounge so that I wouldn't trip it over. Sitting down on my king size bed I saw the game start. Mmmm, it was a tasty snack. My mum said we were going to enjoy the game with this desert. Benji kicked the ball straight past the posts. What a kick I said to myself. That's a good start to the game.

With lots of determination the Warriors smashed over the Tigers and then Benji stopped the Warriors captain Mannering. Simon Mannering dropped the ball then Benji  picked it up and stepped through the team. He stepped Russell Packer, hit Mallony, zoomed past Kevin Locke and last but not least, passed it out wide to Robbie Farrah and it was an incredible try!

Film Festival: Billy T

Brody and his yellow towel made me laugh so loud that every one could hear me in the cinema. No one could make me laugh except him. I wish I could be as funny as him because I would really like to make every one laugh. Check out his funny video here!

RWC Opening Ceremony

With a countdown starting from ten, my Auntie opened the ceremony with a Karanga. If you don't know what a Karanga is it is a welcome translated in Maori. An amazing haka group came to the center of the field and performed a stunning haka. They were the champions of Matatini and the name of their group is Te Matari O Rehu.

I saw this glowing ball, which this 11 year old boy was using while he was running around on Eden Park thinking he was a famous Rugby player. But by the looks of it he actually looked like a Rugby player. He was smashing all these rugby players that were actually volunteers for the opening.

While running down the line of famous rugby players’ names he saw this shadow. The shadow was Jonah Lomu standing right next to his name. He put the ball down in front of him, and he flew up. He was flying up to this big massive ball. He touched it and held on to the big white ball.

I hope there will be another cool grand opening like that for the next Rugby World Cup.

One News Pt England

The door slid and squeaked like a squriel as Mrs Nua walked in asking us if we wanted to go on the TV One News. Our class were screaming so much because we all wanted to go on tv. We said "yes" and Mrs Nua went to tell Mr Burt. A lady walked into our class room with a news reporter. She sat down next to Billy by our iMacs. She said her lines while the camera lady was filming her. She was practicing her lines over and over. It was funny because Jesiah and I thought she was talking to herself. The camera lady said "are you ready?" and the reporter said "yes", so she said her line. After that she said it a couple more times just to see if she had the right one. It was finished and Mr Burt asked what channel and time it was going to be on. The reporter said its on TV One News, the best channel ever. Most of us heard so we were going to watch it at six o'clock on TV One.

Waiting nervously for the bell to ring for morning tea because the Hammers want to play rugby at Hamlin park. Yah I said to myself the bell went and Mr S sorted out our class while he takes us to rugby with Mr Marks's team the under's. Mr S said to Mr Jacobson that is driving the van I will take some of our boys, so I said can I come with you and he said yes. I got my jersey and told every one in my team to touch it for good luck. After every one finished touching it I went into the toilets and got changed into my gear. After that we sat down and Mr J said a prayer so that we will be safe and have fun. Jumping into Mr S's flash car and of we go. Mr S wanted to show respect to Mr J by driving slowly behind him. He disapeared and we didnt no where he was so we just went the way Mr S knows how to get to the field. We turned into the road and saw the van but the boys werent in there. Going into the park we saw the boys and Mr s was tooting away. We all grabed some gears out of the boot and jogged down the hill to the field. The field was so nice. The unders came with Mr marks and Mr J. With the help of the unders we put all of our bags in the middle of each field to keep our gear . I went and grabbed my mouth gaurd out of my bag and we warmed up. The subs sat down and we done kick of possition's. Then the fowards and the backs split up and practiced our game plan. It was time to play and the whistle blew and we chased the ball because we kicked it.
