     Feather 

                                         I chased the bird as fast as I can

                                                  The wind vroomed past my ear

                                                        “ I wonder where he went”

                                            I looked on the ground I found A feather

                                                                     I picked it up, 

                                             I sniffed the feather, It smells like flowers. 

                                     I sniffed it once more, it tickled beneath my nose.

                                                                           ACHOO!!

                                                          Hockey

                    I sprint down the prickly turf

                                                           In the splashing rain

                                                                           SPLOSH!

                           The loud thump of the two hockey sticks slamming together 

                                                                            BANG!!

                                     The white ball  swiftly running away from me

                               The loud splashes of rain drops falling onto my hair

                                                                           SPALSH!!

                                                   7 minutes until the horn goes 

                                                              My toes feel tired 

                                                             Like twisted wires

                                                    2 minutes until the horn goes 

                                                                    I get the ball 

                                                                          Swish!! 

                                                           Into the goal it goes

                                                          The game is finally over                    

                                                                           BEEP!!

                                   

                                                                     

                                                      

                           

                      

Embeding My Stars Poem Screencastify

Today Room 8 was with Ms Minehan and we worked on how to put a screencastify on our blog by embeding the video. Personally I think this is way easier and quicker to use.

Jake Bailey Speech

Jake Bailey Speech

On Wednesday the 31st of July Jake Bailey came to Karoro School. He came to our school today to talk about his fight with cancer, about bravery, happiness, resilience, leadership and long life skills.  

Jake Bailey was talking about how in his last year of high school he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 

Jake told us that we should have resilience and you shouldn’t worry about what other people are thinking about you, other life skills he told us about was to be brave and keep moving forward even if you are feeling scared inside. He said we have a responsibility to live our lives and take every opportunity, give our very best to be the best person we can. 

I thought Jake Bailey was very inspirational.
