A poem for ANZAC Day

Gallipoli soldier,
wounded and injured

lying in the medical tent. 

Broken bones,
snapped like sticks, 

stinging in the body, making him weak.

Magic vs Steel

Yesterday I went to Invercargill to watch a netball game.

I had been saving up for a Steel jersey for ages but when we went to buy one they said they had only one size twelve and they had just sold it and they had no size tens. The size eight was too small and the extra small women size was too big.

We went to the stand that we were sitting in which was the Ray Harper Stand. Mum tried to get a picture of me but I wouldn`t let her cause I was too disappointed. Dad blew up the clappers. We put down the stickers, tattoos and card that we got when we walked into the stadium. Bang bang bang! The Southern Steel and WBOP Magic were walking onto the court. Everyone clapped their clappers. Dad and I ran down to buy a Steel scarf while the teams did their warm ups. That cheered me up!

The Magic started the game they got a goal. Then the Steel got a goal and on and on. Then the Magic kept scoring.

At half time some girls did a dance. They did back flips and the splits and stuff like that.

The second half started. The Steel caught up but then the Magic got heaps more goals.

As the game drew nearer to the end I screwed up my face because there was no way the Steel could win. 

I was right the Magic won.

I went up at got nine signatures on my scarf, A free signed poster and a photo with my favourite player Storm Purvis. I saw Olivia and her cousin.

It was awesome!

The Kaka Point beach walk.

We walked along the Kaka Point beach with no shoes. The sand crept up into my toes and slipped back out.
 
 My brother and I jumped into the waves and splashed about in the salty sea water. We were swimming in our clothes. Lachie fell over into sea. It felt as if the salty sea was pulling me away the tide. Nana said there were seals swimming with us and Aunty,  Dad, Mum and Dave said it was true and the swear they saw them.
 
Dad and I found clam shells lying left by themselves everywhere. The sand had slipped into them.

Seaweed was lying all around the beach. There was also digger`s tyre marks printed into the sand..

Once we were changed we got an ice cream. I got gold rush dipped in chocolate.

THAT WAS AWESOME!

Cromwell netball club

On Tuesday we found out what netball teams we were in. We had had to trial a few days before. I got in the top team. Olivia, Shayla, Sian, Ajah, Hannah, Halle, Trest and Charlie are in my team. Kate is in the team below me but that sucks because she`s been in my team since I started netball.

Last days of term one.

Today is the last day of term one:(. The good part is that I am most likely to be putting new posts about Easter, the netball game and stuff like that. Yesterday was the touch finals. My team which is Korimako, came third. Olivia got team player and Kate got most improved. Julian got the most valuble award. Last year I was in Tui and we won. Also last year I got most improved. Both years we got sausages in bread.
