CROSS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last Friday, the senior syndicate and some of the middles went to cross country at minoge park. Before cross country I felt really nervous because 8 of my family was there ready to watch me. The 9 yr old girls had to go first and I was in that group. We went to a tree and started to warm up by doing stretches and jogging on a spot. Finally it was time to start we all jogged down to the start line and waited for the whistle to blow. when it blew I started off jogging so I would not lose my energy. We went up a small hill I ran a bit faster for that, then we went thourgh a wet soggy patch of grass then we we went up quite a step hill and then down again. We ran down a huge hill and went thourgh another patch of wet grass while we turned. We ended up by a road and then turned to the last 100 metres. I was well ahead of the others by then and started to sprint. I sprinted faster then I had before and came first. YAY ME!!!!
My gaol was to come 1st 2nd or 3rd and complete the course. I am proud that I over came my challenge of winning the race and giving it my all. Now I will be going to interschools.

MY SPEECH

I was hiding behind the class couch hoping not to be seen because I felt VERY nervous and I was the first person that had to share my speech. As soon as I stood up there I knew I would not get away from doing it so I decided to go as fast as I could but that was a shame because the time of the speech had to be above 2:30 and under 3:30. So I got 2:07. After my speech I felt awesome because I had over come a challenge and felt good about it. Something I did well was believing I could do it and I spoke with expression. Next time I want to work on speaking slow and pausing at the right time.

CONCUSSION

On Thursdays 25th of august I was playing basketball at lunch time and tripped over the ball and got rushed to the sick bay. Mrs Mcbeth said that I had concussion. I didn't know what it was so I was puzzled. Mrs Mcbeth said that it meant you bang your head and your brain sometimes gets damaged. I had mild concussion so I really had nothing to worry about except throwing up and getting really drowsy. My dad came to pick me up and he toke me to the doctor he also rang my mum so she knew what happened. She turned up like 3 seconds before a person said "Bailey Guilford" We went into the appointment room and a doctor (I can't remember his name) gave me a check up he said I was fine but I should have a very big sleep when I get home. So when we got out of the appointment room I cuddled and good-byed my mum and got into my dads car and went home to bed. The next day I was feeling OK but I had a little head ache. I we tn to school and then a stream of people came up to me saying "we were so worried"

SPEECHES

Pre reflection
In week 9 room15 will do speeches. I feel I will muck up and have a nervous break down I need to focus on eye contact and speaking louder than usual I feel I will muck up because people are staring at you and if you do something wrong people will laugh at you

SEGREGATION

Segregation is a very bad thing. It separates white people from black.


At school I learnt that segregation can cause lots of harm and violence. I also learnt that Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr did a boycott to hurt the bus companies for making a rule that blacks had to give their seats up for white people. When Rosa Parks did not give up her seat I was amazed because she knew she was going to go to jail. When she went further with this boycott she won a Nobel medal. When she died Martin carried on even though his house was bombed ,he was stabbed in the chest and he went to jail many times he still carried on. He won a peace prize and was the youngest person to win this. My question about segregation is how did segregation start? and why did they think that white people are better than black? Post a comment if you know.
