Did you know that the paralympics are games that have people that have a disability.There the people who still want to be in the olympics. They still do the same olympic events but in wheelchairs. Instead, they join the paralympics where they can compete against other paralympians  to win gold!


The winter and summer olympic games are going to be held after the paralympic games.The paralympic games are for the people with disabilities so they get to have a chance to be in the olympics. People who are in the olympics do not have disabilities.

Dan's Day Saturday

Retelling:
In a paragraph retell what happened in this chapter. Focus on the main points.On Saturday Dan's parents and his friends parents come over to Dan's house for a BBQ.They were dressing up weird.everyone said that this is the best BBQ ever.


Dan's big sisters idea was to make a store board to remember him by.

Dan put the photos of chops on the notice board so they can see it. 

Dan's family put chops name in graffiti. 

They had a BBQ for chops death.

A dingo is a dog in Australia.

Aisle's dad decided to do a dingo dance.

He said that because he got tough that when he was a kid.

Dan and all of the kids were embarrassed because there parents were dressing up wearied.

9. Why would have Chops enjoyed the Party?Chops would of liked the party because they were having a BBQ.

Cross Country Day

Guess what?On Friday everyone did there real cross country, it was fun. We had alot of cool things there.

The 9 and 10 year olds lined up at room 18 and waited for mrs burt to take us to the resurve then he came.Then we sat on the the benches to wait for mr burt to clap the red and black clapper and say''GO''. Off we went as fast as the wind.When we ran down the resurve and we got mud all over our cloths.

We went to the resurve and then we went into a place that that looked like a forest but it wasn't. The things that looked creppy was the creek with the spicks in it, the trees that had bees in it and the people just wached us with out saying where to go.

When we got to the tamaki collage I saw some people from tamaki collage, they were looking at me that was scary.Then I saw Miss Squires and she said come on you are doing well and I smiled.I saw only one telecom person and they looked friendly.

After the creek and Tamaki Collage we were back at school.Then I had mud in my shoes and it was slowing me down.But I still kept on going and I hered my mum and dad and also my brother say ''Keep on going you are neay there'', I was happy.

At the end of the race I found out that I was fifth and I just mist out of comeing fourth but I was still happy of my self. It was worth not eating lunch.
I  then had a big drink and a big rest.


My favourite part was when we went through the forest, went to the Tamaki College path,  and me winning fifth place.I think that this has been the best cross contery day that I have done SO FAR. Next I want to come 1st place!

Dan's day

The Lost Gold Medal!

Did you hear about Valerie Adams? She wants to have a nice ceremony. She said that she might have it at the cloud, Eden park or at South Auckland. Nick Willis said, "Valerie Adams deserves to have a GOLD medal because she did not cheat".

But something bad has happened, it is that the gold medal is hidden in belarus. This means that it is going to take a while to find that gold medal. I think that Valerie is worried that she will not get the gold medal but in her fans eyes she is always gold to them.

People that live in Belarus say that she is still the winner. The people from New Zealand are worried that she will never get the gold medal. There’s something that is a bit similar to what happened to Valerie and Nadzeya someone called Rashid Ramzi took steroids and then Nick Willis’s bronze turned into silver.

Valarie wins gold!

Did you hear about the lost of Nadzeya Ostapchuk that was using steroids before she went on to do her
shot put.Then a man called David Currie called Valeria Adams to say that she is the gold medalest now because Nadzeya Ostapchuk was taking  steroids.Then Nadzeya Ostapchuk said that they were lying about her being a positive of taking steroids.

I think that Valerie is happy that her silver turned into gold.I think that it is fair that Valerie gets gold because she did not use steroids for her game she uses all her strength. I feel that Valerie will never forget that time.

The greeks

In the ancient times in greece they did not have the torch they had something that is called the flame.

2700 years ago in greece they had their first opening ceremony.

In the greek times the greeks had the flame to represent the death and the re- birth for the greek heroes.

The flame was lit for years but at the closing ceremony the flame was extinguished.

My Goal and Dreams!

When I grow up I want to be a chef because I get to taste the food and I love baking with my mum.

My dream is to be like Rachael Ray. And my goal is to go to cooking school and then I can graduate and start to be a chef.

The person that inspires me in nigella the chef because she uses a lot of spices and herbs
and she makes the food look nice.

To get there I need to practice cooking with my parents and my friends.
