Taekwondo

Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a mixed martial art and it is full of fun. At my school a very special lady came in to teach us about taekwondo. I've heard of the name before but never knew what it meant. In the first lesson we sat down on the field and she introduced herself. Her name was Mrs Robinson. She asked if we could stand up and say the oath.

“I shall observe the tenets of Taekwondo.

I shall respect the instructor and seniors.

I shall never misuse Taekwondo.

I shall be a champion of freedom and justice.

I shall build a more peaceful world.”

After the oath we learnt a few punches and one kick. 

The next week she told us about the tenets of taekwondo.

They were:

[ Courtesy

[ Integrity

[ Perseverance

[ Self Control

[ Indomitable Spirit 

.We practiced the punches that we were taught and the kick.

The following week she talked to us about the belts. There is a white belt, a yellow belt, a green belt, a blue belt, a red belt and a black belt. On that week she taught us how to do a front snap kick. In the last week we had to break a board ourselves. It was really hard but then SNAP the board broke. I was really happy because it was so much fun and I hope Mrs Robinson will come back again.

How toys work

How toys work

Toys can work by a push, a pull, a spin, a press and some toys work by winding them. This toy in the picture works by a press.This toy came from Mcdonalds. It is very old.It can work by pressing the palm tree on top.There is a spring inside that forces the chair to sway back and forth. It is a very fun toy!

Seagulls

Seagulls

One day on the wharf Matthew, Sarah and Rauru were fishing for some food. First they caught some slimy and unsatisfying seaweed. Then they came across some salty weeds which were very sour. They all gave up, they never knew that hunting for their own food was really that hard. But as the the morning mist flew past, right upon their eyes was a tiny little dead tuna floating above the clear blue water. “It’s mine” yelled Matthew. “No its mine” screamed Rauru. Sarah was silent like the night, she didn’t say a word. 1 hour later they were still fighting and then. . .  “GIVE ME THE TUNA” she yelled. The boys were frightened by her voice so they dropped the tuna and took a step back. “Now we’re gonna share it okay”yelled Sarah. “Okay” they sobbed. Sarah divided it into thirds and gave them one piece each. “Mmmm” that was delish Matthew said smiling for more. Lets go home now.

Yacht Sailing

It was a steaming hot day in Auckland city. The sky was clear blue without

a doubt. That day a Glen Innes family couldn't wait to escape from their home and have some fun going to the yacht sailing club in Britomart Auckland . It was free, you could go there anytime.

So they packed their bags and slapped on some sunscreen,  they were slippery like soap. So they drove down to the beach. The beach was packed with people from different parts of Auckland. So they grabbed each others gears and left them inside the club. “I guess they are here to go sailing too”whispered Jack. “Some of them are” said Renee. So they ran inside then grabbed a life jacket each and speeded out with a yacht sailing boat. They already knew how to sail, so they took off as fast as lightning. They headed out to sea. But when they first jumped into the water Jack was gone. No one knew where he was, it was a mystery. They checked every where but he was out of  sight.

But then they spotted a boat far out to sea when they noticed it was Jack! So they hoped in the boat and pulled him in. Everyone was happy and filled with joy, so on they all went home.
