My Holiday- Morning BlogPost

My Holidays didn't start to great, I had a cold/ cough/ sniffles. I had, had my cold for over a week and was getting a little bit sick of it, plus my friend Liam was coming over and I really didn't want to be sick for that. It was the first Saturday night of the holidays when Liam came around, he was going to be staying for 3 day's because his parents were going down to Queenstown for a week. When Liam came over I found that he had a cold too, since neither of us had much energy we quickly went to bed. I woke up the next morning feeling a little bit better but still not great and I think Liam felt very much the same. We slowly walked out to the kitchen and began to make some pancakes for breakfast, we each tried to flip a pancake on the pan but only managed to flip 1 each out of the 2 we flipped each. Later we wondered out to the lounge and turned on the Xbox to play games we played a car game called Dirt 3. We played on free play and often switched cars, after 45 minutes of playing we decided to go jump on the trampoline to get some fresh air this quickly resulted in lots of coughing a spluttering so we went back inside. We grabbed the 2 cat's and played with them Merce (The Younger Cat) was in a very energetic mode and could not stop chasing the piece of paper attached to a string, whilst Maszie (The Mother Of Merce) wasn't very energetic she still gave us lots of nice hugs.

Yesterday- Morning Blogpost

Yesterday myself and four other Y8's spent the day in Mr Mossip's class. While the other Y8's went to the school production. It was really fun and we watched youtube clips about a man on a wire. The youtube clip was based on a documentary on a French man called Philipe's life of tight rope walking, in the documentary it explained why he was so good at tight rope walking and things about Philipe's life. Philipe was a daredevil but instead of jumping out of building's or jumping across the Grand Canyon on a motorbike, Philipe tight rope walked across high/tall buildings, this was illegal so Philipe generally had to generate plans so that he would be able to get to the top of the building without being discovered by any kind of security.

 Philipe travelled around the world tight roping across things, their were a group of people that travelled with Philipe. The people that travelled with Philipe often varied and changed, probably because they were scared that they were gonna get caught. At the end of the film Philipe finally conquered his dream of crossing the Twin Towers he did this in the year 1974.

Persuation Letter-Morning Blogpost

Dear
Member of Room 42

Aren't you sick of playing indoor soccer, I mean all you do is kick a ball toward a goal... You should be looking for a funky fun sport instead of your normal old boring Saturday Indoor Soccer? Well try rock climbing, it's a exotic sport that you have to use almost all your body for! You have to think really hard on which rock grip to grip next, plus you can always do different routes even if you've done the same wall a million you can still go up it differently you can try going up without using one leg or even try doing the wall with your'e eyes shut. The sport is so much fun and the competitions are even better for your'e own enjoyment, in some competitions you have to use designated grips while some competitions are timed, meaning the person who gets to the top the fastest wins!

Yeah soccers a really fun sport and all, but don't you want to exercise your arms to to get bigger muscles. Shore running after a black and white ball for 1 hour and 30 minutes?

Rock climbing is also really really good for your'e fitness and your'e health, while some other sports are good for your'e fitness and health too, wouldn't you like to get bigger muscles aswel? I really enjoy rock climbing and I think you would to it's a really really great sport to get into and it's good for you plus it's exceptional sport. Rock climbing also a really fun sport to do with your friends, you can race them or even just slowly climb up.

Sincerely
Matt Crockett
