Going To Rugby
On the weekend I went to rugby with my team. It was a warm, rainy day and the grass was slippery. When I passed the ball to my friend Cooper he caught it, and then he ran with the ball to score a goal. Later in the game he passed the ball to me. Then I passed the ball back to Cooper and he scored another goal. My team and I won the game because we scored more goals and we were fast.
Going To The Pet Shop
On the weekend I went to the pet shop. I went with my Mum. At the pet shop we saw a big blue and yellow fish. A lady was feeding the fish and the fish did a trick. It flipped over. Then my Mum saw a prettier fish. It was pink and it looked like a flower. I had a fun day with my Mum.
After that my Mum said that it was home time, so we jumped in our car. At home I have a dog. She is a girl dog and her name is Ellma. She is pretty. I have lots of fun with my day.

On The Weekend
On the weekend I went to the shop with my Mum, my Dad and my sister Estherose. At the shop we bought chips and fruit. After we had bought our food we went back home to eat lunch. Then we went to have a rest. After resting we went to get our dinner.
Later we went to my cousin's house for a sleepover. My cousin's name is Sonay. Sonay is younger than me, she is only six years old. At Sonay's house we had a pillow fight and I won. We also played hide and seek inside the house. I hid inside the front room behind the chairs. Sonay found me after looking all over the house. We both laughed when she found me. I like going to my cousin Sonay's house because she is my best cousin and she is fun to play with.

Last Weekend
On the weekend my brother, and I went to Preteen. My brother's name is Siu and he is in Room 8. He is older than I am. My sister goes to Youth YPG because she is 19 years old. Lots of children from around Auckland go to Preteen. I really like going to Preteen because it is so fun and we get to learn about important stuff.
In Preteen we are learning about how we can pray in the morning, at night and at anytime and anywhere we go. Preteen is held in a church in Manukau city. After learning about prayer we played dodgeball inside the church hall.

Visiting My Family In The Country
On the weekend I went to my cousin's house. My cousins' house is big. I went with my Mum, my Dad and my brother. My brothers ' names are Alizzandor and Paulo. Alizzandor is ten years old, so he is older than me. Paulo is fourteen years old, so he is older than me too. We went to visit my cousins house because they invited us to see their new house. Their house is far away and we had a long ride in our little car. We took a long time to get to their house.
When we got to their house it was already night time so we ate dinner. We were all very hungry after our long drive. After dinner we played games which required us to guess the character, and my brother won. Then we went to bed. We were all very tired.
The next morning we had breakfast with my cousins, aunt and uncle. After breakfast we went to see the cows. There were 400 cows and they were in paddocks with big gates. I said, 'Hi', out loud to the cows as they walked along the path and they stared at me. My Dad said for me to keep walking because I was distracting the cows and they were going to eat some grass.
Later we said goodbye to my cousins, my aunt and uncle, and I said goodbye to the cows. The cows continued to eat the grass. I liked visiting my family in the country and I hope that we can visit them again soon!

Gymnastics Poem
Every Thursday we go to gymnastics
Its lots of fun
Its fantastic!
We do handstands against the wall
We have to concentrate really hard
So we don't fall.
We have to balance
When we walk along the bar
It's easy when you practice
No matter who you are.
After playing 'Stuck In The Mud"
We split into groups
And we do things with equipment
Including the hoolla hoops.
We also do our tuck shape
Then we put our shoes on
Because the bell is going to ring
And we don't want to be late!

Addition Problems using Counting On and Magic Ten
A. Erich Wyne has 4 red teddy bears and Amiel has 6 green teddy bears. Then Sione checked that Erich Wyne and Amiel had counted their bears correctly.
How many teddy bears did Erich Wyne and Amiel have altogether?
Jamie and Jacob new that this is an addition problem.
First they counted on from the biggest number.
They added 4 + 6 = 10
B. April has 12 bears and Cooper has 11 bears.
How many bears do April and Cooper have altogether?
Benjamin and Sonasi used the Magic Ten to answer the question.
They said;
10 + 2 + 10 + 1
= 10 + 10 + 2 + 1
= 20 + 3
= 23
