A Moment in time...

5:00 IS TOO EARLY FOR ME.

It’s the 18th of September 2015 and it time for snowball fights we are are going to Taupo on a huge 60 seater 2 tv's tinted window amazing bus. It would take us 3 hours to get to the mountains so we could not stand up or breathe fresh air for 3 whole hours. Once we got up to the mountain we had a small morning tea by the bus and me and my friend Louis had ours at the back of where the engine was so it was keeping us warm.

Ok it time 321 snowball fight this was my first time seeing a lot of snow and probably the last for a while. It was an amazing time in the snow at one point I grabbed a huge snowball the size of my chest and throw it on someone. But it wasn't all fun because my fingers started to freeze up but at the same time i was lucky because my feet were all dry unlike everyone else with wet feet. It was really hard to run in the deep snow but that did not stop it from being fun.

But we could not stay at the snow forever so it was time to go to AC baths for a great swim with my friends. And a few slides which gave me bruises  and it felt like I was going down a black tunnel of doom. After all that pizza from pizza hut which was amazing the best pizza I have ever had and next a long trip home. WHAT A DAY !

The postponement day has come and all I wanted was to get it over with. We had to wait quite a while until it was year 7 boys for cross country. Once it had come I was starting to get quite nervous and feel like I would fall over but that would not stop me from doing my best. The bell went off I tried to run but everyone pushed me right to the back so I had to try really hard to get my goal of getting somewhere under 10th place.I had 7th the whole way through the race but I had one boy staying behind me the whole race and he kept me going but it was making me hurt everywhere just keeping him behind me and he was Louis and I teased him by letting him get really close to me then sprinting off again and again till the very end when he snuck up behind me and we had a race of our own for 7th place and I came … 7th well done me.

“Yes it’s finally working!”

It was the day we launched our own kites and not all them were working but it was still mostly fun and even better because my kite was starting to catch wind after a few modifications later. It would never go very high only about 10 meters but it was working and that's what mattered the most.

It was amazing to see all the kites in the air because a few hours earlier the classrooms were a mess because of them. About 10 kites had a crash landing and got turned into shreds and were ready for the bin and a few were fixable and some were absolutely perfect.

But we did not just make kites we also learnt some history about them like the fact that the Chinese made the first kites ever. And we learnt some names of different kites. After all that, it was an awesome day because all we did was kites, kites kites!
