Speech Finals

Posted on August 31st, 2008 in school by lizzie3

Last week me and other pupils from rooms one, two and three. We all assembled in the hall after interval. I could feel my heart pumping in my chest, I was so nervous. Well I suppose you would be to if you had been picked for the 2008 Te Awamutu Intermediate Speech Finals!

 

I was second out of everyone and I just wanted to vaporise and not be part of this. I tried to act like everythng was fine, but it was useless I couldn’t pretend anymore. I was about to make a fool of myself, I just knew it. The first person went up and recited their speech perfectly. I was next. Standing up on the stage I opened my mouth and vomited. Na! only joking I didn’t vomit! Did I scare you? Anyway back to my speech, Iopened my mouth and said in a loud voice, Dear Diary, because that is how my speech started. I didn’t get through to the finals but tried my best. Wish me luck for next year

My 12th Birthday!!

Posted on August 24th, 2008 in Fun by lizzie3

20 of the 8th 2008 this was the special day where I turned twelve. I’m not eleven anymore I’m twelve. Only four more years till I turn sixteen and get my drivers licence! If I pass that is… Anyway this is what happened…

 

At 6:30 on Wednesday morning My little sister came into my room and told me to get up so she could see what I got. I very reluctantly got up and followed my sister out of my room and into the lounge. There sitting on the breakfast table was a big pile of presents YAY! I opened my Nana and Granddad’s one fist and inside was a purse, a bracelet and a pair of socks. From Mum and Dad I got some leggings and a top, chocolates, a book, a pair of boots and a sleepover kit that consisted of a bag, a toothbrush and a pair of pyjamas. From my friends I got a bubble bath set and chocolate! Last but not least a twenty-dollar book voucher from Granny and Grandad.

 

When I got home from school Mum made party food and decorated the room. Finally when Dad got home we had the party and watched the Oylmpics!! That was my party for 2008.

Medals for New Zealand.

Finally we got some medals for New Zealand. It’s about time! If you want to hear about the medals New Zealand got read on, and if you don’t want to hear about it please read anyway!!

 

First up we have the rowing. Last night was the finals. It started off with Mahe Drysdale. He got off to a good start and was in the lead, but I spoke to soon. As he got to 1500 metres his rowing must have done a back flip and never got the whole way round. Just as he was about to cross the line two other countries over took him and he only got a bronze medal. Now you’ll know why. You see Mahe had a stomache bug but it seemed too get worse, I mean he lost 4kgs in four days at one point. Then as the race finished  Mahe vomited and was taken away by an ambulance. Also five minutes before the ceremony when he was getting his bronze medal he collapsed! Poor guy! So I think he did extremely well to get a bronze. Now we move on to the Everswin-Van-Del twins. They were in the the doubles and got a GOLD MEDAL!!! I couldn’t believe it. I honestly couldn’t! They did so well and bought honor to our country. That is the rowing for tonight.

 

Next we have shotput and we also got a gold medal and we did really well and our country is very proud! Last but not least, we have cycling where we got a silver medal. This year was our year and we did so well!! I’m pretty sure no one in our country could deny that we tried our hardest and did so well

Thats all for tonight tune in next week for another blog post!

 

 

Answers from my Quiz

Posted on August 17th, 2008 in Fun by lizzie3

Well done to everyone who participated in my quiz I put on my blog a few weeks ago. Sorry I said I would put the answers on my blog within a few days. Well those games turned into weeks. Unfortunally no one was a winner but thanks for trying!!

 

Here is the answer!

The man escapes by looking in the mirror and he saw what he saw. He used the sword to cut the table in half. Two halves make a whole. He climed through the hole back to his universe and lived happily ever after.

Go New Zealand!!!

After dinner last night I sat down in front of our tellivision and watched the 2008 Beijing Oylimpics!!! I was hoping like mad that maybe this year we might bring home some gold, silver or bronze medals. The opening ceromny was really fabulous with all the dancers and fireworks. Soomeday we will have the Oylimpics here!

 

Anyway first up were the mens singles in rowing. I was holding onto the edge of my seat as the heats started. I’m very compeditive! New Zealand got off to a good start and we were in the lead. Go New Zealand I shouted jumping up and down like a lunatic iin front of the T.V. until my parents told me to settle down. We were half way there and were in the lead by far. I had a feeling we would get this. New Zealand was coming up to the finishing line. I was going crazy, all of a sudden it was over and New Zealand won the mens singles heats.

 

Now it was time for the womens singles heats with our competer Emma Twigg. She got of to a good start in the lead, but we had Serbia close behind us and we had to be quick if we wanted to win this. It looked like Serbia might get in front. Luckily she didn’t, but when she got to the three quarter mark I was getting desperate. New Zealand crossed the finishing line first but we had Serbia as a close second. But we got there in the end.

I don’t have any more news because mum made me go to bed straight after the womens singles had finished
