Opunake Beach 18/12/15

                                         

Today just before tea Grandad, Georgie (My sister) and Caro (Me) went down Opunakes main beach.  Opunake is located in South Tāranaki, New Zealand (Aoteroa). First we went to the playground and went on the swings, slides and monkey bars. Then Georgie and I did some beach sprints because we do "Surf Life Saving". It's where you do Beach sprints, Beach Flags, Knee Boards, Body Surfing and of course swimming in the sea. Most of the times I won but sometimes my younger sister won . Guess what tommorow we have a carnival for surf life saving tomorrow in New Plymouth. Then Georgie built a sand castle and Grandada took a few pics of me doing some hand stands in different poses and while we were doing that they took the "IRB boat sort of thing and they are orange and green". Then Georgie wanted to go back to the playground so I waited in the car then we went back to Nanna and Grandadas house where mum and dad and my other sister was with the fish and chips for tea.

Horses

Regardless of a horse or pony's actual birth date, for most competition purposes a year is added to its age each January 1 of each year in the Northern Hemisphere and each August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere. The exception is in endurance riding, where the minimum age to compete is based on the animal's actual calendar age.

Colt: A male horse under the age of four. A common error is to call any young horse a "colt", when the term actually only refers to young male horses

Filly: A female horse under the age of four.

Foal: A horse of either sex less than one year old. A nursing foal is sometimes called a suckling and a foal that has been weaned is called a weanling. Most domesticated foals are weaned at five to seven months of age, although foals can be weaned at four months with no adverse physical effects.

Gelding: A castrated male horse of any age.

Mare: A female horse four years old and older.

Stallion: A non-castrated male horse four years old and older. The term "horse" is sometimes used to refer specifically to a stallion.

Yearling: A horse of either Female/Male that is between one and two years old

Today on November the 29th Kaponga Athletic club hosted the 2015 NOROK sports day. The events are.. 50 Meters, 75 Meters, 100 Meters, 200 Meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1500 Meters, 800 Meter Walk, 1200 Meter Walk, bagged 40yr relay, 4x100 relay boys and girls grades, Long Jump and High Jump. "My first event was the 75M and there were only three of us and I came 1st= with a girl called Kyrah".

  My sister had her 75M and she came 3rd. I had to wait till 12.15 for my 100 meter race and I got second in that and Kyrah won. My friends Jorja and Bethany's 100M was next and Jorja got 3rd and Bethany got 1st. Before we knew it , it was lunchtime. Time for a ice block.

         Then I was in the bagged 40yr relay with Zoe, Caro (me), Madaline and  Ellie. In that relay we got 2nd. In the 800M walk a person from my class called Quade got first in that race. The next race for me was the 200 meter and there was only two of us and Kyrah was in lane 2 and I was in lane 5. Halfway through the race I started to get the shakes and I was in the lead then before I knew we were at the 50 meter mark with 50 left to run and I could here every one screaming out go Kaponga and I go to Kaponga and I can't believe I won but it was a close race.

 

 My sister got 2nd in the 200m and she is only seven. Then we had the 4x100 relay and it was Zoe, Lilly, Sophie and Caro (me) we were in lane five again and we got second in that and I was proud of our team and my sisters team got third. Then we packed up and left and it was an amazing day and Kaponga done very well.

Some of the worlds best blogs

This blog is one of my favourite blogs and obviously you can see that it is Mrs Yollis class blog and she has had about 1,889,210 page views and that is a lot of pageviews she has posted a pitcher of my blog on her blog once and it was about a poem. They celebrate somethings in America that we don't celebrate in New Zealand. You can click on her class page here

When we first got there it was freezing but it started warm up in the middle of the day then we played parcel- parcel and Sofia won. Then we had lunch and there were lots of yummy things to eat. Like... Cupcakes, Carnival donuts, Fizzy and lots ,lots more. Then we were running around on the lawn waiting for the next game.        
 Then her mum called us in for the next game which was stick the strawberry on the strawberry. Then we had a little bit of a play before we went home then when we got home we had a rest before we got up to watch "The Fox and the Hound II" Then when that finished we watched Puss 'n' Boots. While we were watching that we had our own popcorn and strawberries and they were delicious but we ate them all. That was most of our day and I hope you enjoyed listening to my story and comment down below to say what you think =).

Auroa School

Adorable right? For a matter or fact this is my little sister Harpa. She got in to my sisters uniform box and pulled out some of our uniform. She thought she was going to school with me and my sister. She had her lunchbox packed and everything. But she had to wear her frozen shoes.

Suvivour Episode 10

 

A shock elimination occurred this week who would it be? Rico and Siobhan were in charge of Kikorangi, until Rico organised a blind side and had Siobhan voted out. Caro and Mackenna were in charge of Whero, until just before the merge, Whero eliminated Mackenna.

 

 

The only captions left from the start is Rico and Caro (Me) As my team lost last week it forced us to merge. Who would it be Caro? or Rico?

 

To all the Rico fans in Hong Kong you may not like this?

 

Good luck and who will find the Lucky cat and the 3rd immunity idol. Here are the clues.

 

Immunity Idol Clue; 'When all is revealed and all sold you need to report to Mr Webb and reveal all that you've solved.  He will guide you on your way and with the idol you should be able to stay.  Its the furtherest away so far, yet to progress in the game you need to find it without haste.'

 

Redemption Idol: 'I am without sight and waiting to be revealed, I wait patiently counting the time that I will be revealed.  The game is nearing its end, locating me will allow you a chance at revenge."

 

The credit go's to Mr Webb for the videos and the immunity idols the only idol has been found and hasn't been played is Quade's immunity Idol that I picked up but didn't read it so Quade found it. 

 

 

 

 

Bring it Home

 

Am I the only one nervous for the Rugby world cup final. All Blacks vs Australia . Hopefully the All Blacks can bring it home. Obviously there are 2 Taranaki born players in the team. Conrad Smith and Beauden Barrett. Hopefully the Coastal boy Beauden Barrett can finish the game on a high note. Good Luck

Old memory's

On Saturday I suddenly went into my room and pulled out some of my old dancing ribbons. There were so many I couldn't even carry them all at once. There were some from when I was 5 and when I won the junior modern jazz. I had just been to a competition in Hāwera and I got VHC and won most promising under 10 dancer which I was very proud of. If you have won any trophy so or ribbons comment down below.

Our day out!

on Saturday myself and my sisters had a day out with gran. First we went to the horses and walked down to the bowl of Brooklands and then we Went to the zoo. We saw some amazing animals and the all looked very different to each other and they were very cute. Then we took some photos and walked to grans but first we had to stop and get a ice cream. When we got back mum and dad had  lunch for us and it was delicious.
