Finally a Year 7

Posted on February 24th, 2008 in school by lizzie3

One Wednesday I walked down the hill to my house.As I entered I saw my mother sitting at the table.Around her were about 50 sheets of maths and spelling.I asked her what they  were for.She said,”you are going to work on your maths and spelling for the accelerate class test.These are what you can do tonight”.She handed me a huge pile of work.

                                                                    ***

The day of the test had arrived I was really nervous but I knew I could do it.A few hours later I was back at home.On Monday a letter arrived for me from tai saying I was in the accelerate class I was so glad I cried it sounds a bit stupid when I say that,I am only telling the truth though.We got my uniform and I think its heaps better than my old one.

My time had arrived to have my first day at school.I did something really dumb.For the Moari greeting I went to the complete wrong group.It was so embarrassing!

Karate Grading

Posted on February 19th, 2008 in sport by lizzie3

In December 2007 I was at my karate lesson.  My teacher gave out letters for the Karate grading in a few weeks time.He gave me a letter.I was so excited and rushed home to tell my parents the good news.I worked really hard so on the day I wouldn’t get a shock about having to work really hard.On the day I slept in and found mum shaking me awake, so we got down to the Dojo with only 5 minutes to spare!I found it was really hard even though I had trained as hard as I could. I passed with orange belt.I was so happy!

Ballet Competition

Posted on February 18th, 2008 in holidays by lizzie3

one day in September last year I was a my ballet class.Afterwards my ballet teacher called me up to her desk and asked me if I wanted to do the ballet competitions? I was delighted she had asked me and happily agreed to go.On the day I had to get up really early to get ready .when we got there I suddenly wished I hadn’t come.There were piles of really snobby girls who looked down at me with their big noses.Anyway on my first dance I was against 27 other girls and I went on stage feeling nervous and came off quite relaxed.My result was commended which is like 6th place I was glad with my results but I felt I could have done better.The next day I had 2 more dances.The first one that day and 2nd dance throughout the whole competition went better then the first. There were 7 girls and I got a very highly commended which is like 4th place.On the last dance their was a trophy to the person who got 1st place I really wanted that trophy. There were five girls competing and then we had prize-giving.The judges called out, ‘first place goes to Elizabeth’.I was so proud and so was my Nana who is a retired ballet teacher.It didn’t matter that she lives over seas and couldn’t come and watch me dance. All that mattered was that I had the trophy.

hello world its me!
