On Friday the 17th of August Pt England ran cross country. It was an awesome experience for me because I knew that I was going to do much better than before. The starting point was on the Pt England Field. At the starting point I was nervous and worried at the same time. When Mr Burt Said “ On your marks, Get set GO” I ran as fast as I could.

Running around the corner was this big blob of mud. As I was running towards the reserve I had Mud all up my legs. Then as I hit the track on the reserve I was pacing myself. Then I got further and further. As I pass Chante I got catched up to Turuhira, then I knew that I was coming third place.

Coming up to the finish line people were cheering me on. Then I cross the finish line. I was so proud of myself for coming third place. That was My awesome Experience.  Thank You Dakota for helping me out with my Writing.

The London Games

The London olympics is finished now. So in our class we have been back from a wonderful weekend and came to school to write about the Closing Ceremony.

But before the olympics closed, I watched the BMX race on prime. Sarah Walker is a BMX racer champion. During the Olympics game on Saturday the 11 of August 6:03 she won a silver medal by coming second place.

Sarah Walker is a BMX racer who was born in Whakatane, New Zealand, and lives in Kawerau, New Zealand. She started BMX in 1999 when she saw her brother, Matt, riding one day.

But she could do better by achieving a Gold Medal. Practice, Practice, Practice, Makes Perfect.

My Gold Medal.

This is a little summary of how I earned my gold medal. This is an Gold Medal that I got for working hard. I also accomplished my work and finished it off properly. This is the gold medal that I earned from doing my work.

Nature or Nurture

I believe that, Good athletes are born that way. Why? because they would achieve more and do hard work for example, Eating healthy, drinking plenty of water,having lots of sleep, will strive to succeed to reach for their goal and also believe in yourself. But people that were not born to be an athlete they would of tried to be a competitor in the olympics.


I think that, Hard work and willpower will bring success in sports. Athletes that are competing in the London olympics 2012 they all have confidence, speed to not give up and keep on trying until you win. They work hard to accomplish more teamwork and with strength.


I believe Both natural ability and hard work are important to an athlete. You desire and have strength to compete in olympics. You may have to practice until you have got what you wanted. But in the future I am going to try and reach my goal. And Practice running.
