Athletics At C.S.N.S

one Wednesday ago my school had there athletics. There are 7 events such as long jump, high jump, though, hurdles, sprints, long distance and relays. For each activity you get given a score from one to four. For long jump there is a short running track and a sore dust pit. Then for High jump there is a big mat and poles to jump over. For through you get given a really heavy ball to through. Hurdles is were there is hurdles lined up and you race to the end. Sprints is a 100 meter track that you sprint. long distance is a really long running track were you run all around the school. Relays is were the teachers pick the fastest runners from there house to run around a small track.

Quotes

Year six writing

My most remembered memory was Going to the bathroom with my friends and playing with makeup. After wile Mrs McDonald heard us as she walked by and stopped us from playing. She walked us back to class and we got in big trouble so we all got separated. When the bell rang we had to say sorry. I try my best with most things I do and strive for excellence and I go for gold. As the learning journey began I have gained lots of confidence. I will miss the fact that every day we can wear mufti. I will always miss marble session every summer. My highlights are being in GRi11 2.0 because I have cool teachers and fantastic classmates. I have been involved in many activities: Kids for Kids, Futsal, Hockey, Camp, Weet-Bix Try, Interschool Tri, School Try, Girls Cricket, Road Patrol, Production, Dance NZ Made, Hockey Mini Olympics and Table Tennis. When I grow up I would like to be a flight attendant so I can travel the world.

Long jump

Ring Ring I picked up the phone. “Hello Zara speaking” I casually said. As I excitedly hung up the phone and screamed “i'm in the olympics” they sent an email to me. It was my flight tickets.

As i board the private Olympian plane I saw all the famous competitors like Usain Bolt and the long jump winner Brittney Reese. I started getting more and more nervous as the plane kept flying. At this point in time I thought that i would not be even in the top three.

I had three more days till my big day and so I went to the Olympic long jump pit and saw that it was a lot bigger than what I've been practicing in. I kept on running as fast as I could and pushing myself ford but still only reaching 5 meters. I decided that I should come back tomorrow.

As the next day ocerd I walked down to the long jump pit and tried again and again this time I made it 5 meters and a half. I have to at least beat 6 and a half to let myself go back to my cabin. It was at least 9:30 at night and I still did not make it. Suddenly from the distance merged Brittney. “ hi” she kindly “what are you doing” “I'm practicing for tomorrow” I said tiredly. “Here I will give you a tip Run as fast as you can and when you push of the ground push yourself ford” she exclaimed. “Thanks I will keep it in mind for tomorrow” I said as I thanked her.

That night I could barley sleep with the excitement of tomorrow.

When it hit 2 minutes I was so nervous and started stretching. Zara could you please step up to the line. “Ok so to beat Britney you have to jump 7 meters and 52 centimeters” The speaker announced. In my head I was thinking about the tip Britney told me. 3……... 2………1…. Run!!!!!!!! I ran and then jumped to then push myself ford.

My jump was 7 53 I did it and set the new world record. Zara could you please step up on the podium. I got to stand at the top and look down at Britney. We all congratulated everyone and had a group photo. I will always remember this moment for life and hope I will be invited for next year.

What about Cuba?

What about Cuba?

Cuba is a county located in North America. Cuba is the principal island, which is surrounded by four main groups of islands.

                

Narciso López created the Cuban flag.The Cuban flag is blue and white striped with a red triangle and a white star.

The population in Cuba is 11,392,889 people.

The only cars that Cuban citizens can own legally are cars created and brought before 1959. After this year, the Cuban government seized all of the cars, and owns them all to this day.

Cuba has a 99.8% literacy rate, which is one of the highest in the world. Dance is very important in Cuba, the birthplace of classic dance styles like the Bolero, Mambo and Cha Cha.

Cuba is competing in the 2016 Olympics. They have 116 competitors. Their best sports are wrestling, with two golds and judo, with one silver. The Olympic sports Cuba competes in are women's discus throw, men's 110m hurdles, women's 400m hurdles, beach volleyball, men's triple jump, women's 200m, women's kayak single 200m, wrestling, track cycling  and boxing,

In Cuba they have a problem with water pollution. It's caused by industrial and urban wastes that are dumped into the sea.  Over 250 rivers in Cuba are polluted but the Communist government there doesn’t want to admit it.  The people don’t know about the pollution because the government keeps it a secret.

One solution Cuba has tried is to install 703 slow-sand filters and an equal number of containers for the filtered water. This cleans the water and makes it safe for people to use.

Cuba needs to come up with a new idea to fix the problem of water pollution or marine life could die and people could get ill.  There won’t be enough clean water for everyone to survive.
