For house sports we did discus. It was nikau 2 vs rata 2.it was a very hot and sunny game. The sun was burning. Everyone enjoyed playing because everyone participated in discus and there were no put downs. Many people threw the discus further than others.But at the end the score turned out as a tie.everyone was happy because if the other group won then there would be a fight over cheating. What a fabulous day of House sports.
I am a Year 8 student at Glen Innes School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 10 and my teacher is Mrs Raj.

My Story of the best day ever
On a Bright sunny morning there was a boy called Tom and he was my best friend.We went to this unsuspicious house.When we got there the grass was taller than tom and I combined.The house looked creepy and haunted.It looked like someone had a trashing party.Tom said lets get out of here.But then we heard a voice.We said who's there and nothing responded.
We got closer and a sound came to our ears getting louder and louder.It was a scary dark red eyes glowing from a dark distance in the house.We checked it out.Walking through the house we heard more noises.Then we got to the other side of the house.There standing right in front of my face a Big eyed monster.We were scared as hell but we had faith in each other and walked closer.It was just a pair of red eyes.Then on the way back outside we heard a huge slam.The door shut locked down like a metal jail closing.Then we screamed our heads off.
Then a another 2 pair of eyes started getting closer to us.we couldn't run because it was to dark.Then the lights turned on and the room was full of all kind of sweets.We looked at ourselves and smiled at each other.We ran to the lollies and started eating all the lollies.It was the best day ever.Everyday we went to the house and ate more lollies.It was so nice and cool.At the end we finished all the lollies so we burnt down the house and lived happily ever after.
