Kids Talking To Adults

Kids Talking To Adults

Jordan, School Reporter

Wed Sep 10, 2014

Auckland - Ambassadors at Pt England School explain to visitors around New Zealand about how it feels to learn at their school.

At Pt England School there are kids talking to adults and they call themselves Ambassadors. 

Their job is to Inform the visitors that come to school about Pt England School, whether they are random people or the President of the United States of America. Pt England School have even had an Indian Billionaire come to school.

Visitors come to Pt England School at unexpected times. All we do is talk and talk and talk. 

The way you get in you first have to apply for the job and learn a mihi and to all sorts of stuff.

If you want to be an Ambassador you have to be the right age. You first need to by year six and the age is around Nine, Ten and Eleven year olds. 

Pt England probably want younger kids to talk to visitors because they look more cute than those stinky year seven and eights, but also because the older ones already have other important jobs.

Conc : I Quoted Aaron a school Ambassador and he has told us a lot.

Let The Games Begin

Get ready for some spectacular moments here in the Glasgow stadium where there will be Athletics, Boxing, Judo, Cycling, Shooting & more. I believe that it started EIGHTY FOUR years ago! But that means that there have been 21 commonwealth games but it is the 20th commonwealth games. Have YOU ever wondered why they are called the ‘friendly games’?  it’s because they let anyone and everyone join in with the fun, also because it is between individual sportsmen and woman not countries.

I can't wait I'm so excited the commonwealth games is only a week away! I’m right here in Glasgow Scotland and when I look over my balcony I can see the Glasgow Stadium. The next night I couldn't sleep I was so excited, instead I was jumping up and down in my bed. “Tomorrow is the Commonwealth Games”, I was thinking.

“And now the moment you've all been waiting for the opening ceremony”, Pronounced the announcer. The crowd went furious like a pride of lions hunting their prey. I found the opening ceremony quite weird this year. But when they introduced the countries I was surprised to see that Valerie Adams was the flag bearer but then I thought why not she is a good representative  for new zealand as she will definitely win gold in Shot Put I’m sure of it.

“And here they come the Shot Put women's Finals”, announced the announcer, “Today we have a tough competition with competitors from around the globe, we have Valerie Adams from New Zealand, Cleopatra Borel from Trinidad and Tobago & Julie Labonte from England”. Now for their Final attempt Valerie holding first place… and she’s done it again Valerie Adams wins with a 19.88m!

Man that was the best games I’ve been to. Did you know that they started setting up the games before the last one in delgh it took FIVE YEARS just to build the sports village, well that just about wraps things up.

The Surprise At The Beach

“Lets go down to the beach today”, I sang to my mum. Our family were very excited, even though it is the middle of winter we still love to go for a refreshing swim. I am on holiday with my brothers & cousins in Pauanui. We stayed just down the road from the beach.

It didn't take long to get to the beach only about three minutes. when we arrived at the beach we played a little with the sand. Which when you drew on it, it becomes black, cool aye.

So after playing with the sand for a bit we decided it was time to go for a swim. When my toe touched the water I felt how cold it would be. I couldn't possibly tell how many times I ran in & out, in & out. Then I made up my mind to walk in until I got smashed into the water from the waves. I lifted up my legs and felt them, they were icy cold, but I carried on.

When I got smashed a couple of times I suddenly felt something… “oooowwww”, I yelled in pain. Then I went to kick it of my foot. It was a crab that nipped me, it felt this size . Then I ran out with the crab clinging on to my foot, I desperately wriggled my foot to get that crab off of me then finally it let go and I ran to shore.

After that surprise there were no more and we had a lovely time playing in the water and on the sand. Then it was time to go home. I had a fun time at the beach.

Frozen In The Morning (This Is A Narrative)

A shiver ran down my spine when I took a step outside my door and saw everything Frozen! The grass, the side walk, the road & even my car! I almost froze! It felt so cold even though I was wearing my six layer sleeping bag and my Mac Pac jacket! No matter how warm I got it wouldn’t go away. So I slammed the door shut and waddled up each stair like a penguin in my sleeping bag. Then finally i knew it, the heat pump (heater). Worth a shot.

So I ran for the remote, turned it on and finally felt satisfaction. The first time this morning I felt warmth. Isnt it nice to be warm again. Then I felt something slither down my back, I didn’t take notice of it and walked past it.

Then I stood on something, it looked like ice. I picked it up. It was ice…”TOBY”

The End
