Rubbish pick up

This morning room seven went out to do something really fun that included rubbish. The best part is we’re helping our school, our area and our community. If you want to find out more read on.

In the beginning we all went out onto the reserve, as a small tight bunch. As we were walking I could feel the freezing cold breeze, flowing towards me. After quite a walk we finally made it to the reserve, and Mr Goodwin ( Mr G ) told us to get into five groups of five. After awhile of sorting kids into their groups, Mr G finally told us what we were about to do. He held up rubbish bags and said “you will be having a competition to see who can pick up the most rubbish out of every team, also the winners prize is ten minutes of something cool”. We were all so excited because we knew what the cool prize was.

Finally it was competition time. We had a lot of boundaries that we had to stay inside of, but that didn’t hold us back from trying to find every single piece of rubbish that we saw. Mr G blew his whistle and everyone raced to this one spot where there was so much rubbish. After that there were many more rounds, than it came to the last round in our own school on the field. We all saw lot’s of yucky rubbish around us, but we knew it was for a good cause. Mr G said “ On your marks, Get set, Go!!!” and we all dashed to the furthest corner, raced to where we could see the most rubbish and we even looked in the class bushes.

We all had to come in and find out who the winners were. I had no hope that my team was going to be the winners, after I saw Toby’s team’s rubbish bag. It was filled up to half way, but if they had a jandle in their bag they would’ve been disqualified from the competition. Than we all lined up in our teams sitting down, and Haare checked the bags. She said she wasn’t quite sure at first because all the bags were so full, so she went for the last bag check. Then she said the winning team is Toby’s team.

Overall even though my friends and I didn’t win I still was proud of all of us because we picked up so much rubbish. We also did it for a great cause to help our school, and our community. I would really like to do this again because it would help our area get cleaner and cleaner.

Task description: In this task room 7 had to write about our experience with picking up rubbish. We went around our area to pick up rubbish and the winning team got a prize.

Warriors Curtain Raisers

When we arrived into the stadium I was feeling really nervous. As we were walking down the stairs, I saw the big field that we were going to play on. My heart was beating so fast, my legs were shaking and I was just so scared.

We finally made it to our seats after a long walk, and we had a great view of the women’s warriors team playing. Our girls team were so happy when we saw the women’s warriors because we saw women that we knew. I saw this one girl and I couldn’t believe my eyes she was a lady who used to play for my rugby club in the women's Marist rugby team. It was the end of the game and the ladies won 32 - 4.

Then we had to start getting ready, the under 13s had just finished playing their game and we started our warm up. We had to copy Roger and Johnny Tuivasa sheck. After that it was game time, the hooters went and the ref blew her whistle. The opposition kicked the ball towards us and it rolled towards me. I was supposed to give the ball and follow the plan but I heard my teacher say run Levonah run.

So I grabbed the ball and ran as fast as I could. First I ran into this little girl and bumped her off as hard as I could, then I stepped another girl and ran so fast like flash. I was so close to the try line and another girl tried to tackle me but I just kept pumping my legs like my coach taught me and I got the ball down onto the tryline. I was so happy because I’ve never ever played on the Mt smart stadium field before and It was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I had to get the try.


The game was nearly over and I really wanted my sister to get a try, so I helped her out and I told her to do our plan liked we practiced. The plan was that she would dummy it to the side that everyone was on and she would run it to the tryline. It was time that she was about to do it. Then she did it and she sprinted to the tryline and got the try. I was so proud because both of us each got a try. Then the hooter blew and it was time.

We were all so happy that we won, but we had to remember to stay humble. We did our cheers, shook hands with the other team and had a photo with them. We went back to our seats and we were talking about our amazing win. We ended up winning 24 - 0.

Finally after all of that it was time for the warriors game. We were all so excited, but in the first five minutes a player from the knights got a try for his team. We were a bit angry but we just kept cheering and cheering for the warriors. “ Let’s go the warriors let’s go” we all said. “Yassss” we screamed Blake green scored the first try. When Blake scored the first try we were hungry so we went for a little break to get something to eat.

As we were ordering the food Shaun Johnson made the kick for his team. We all were eating and David Fusitu’a scored the next try right in front of us. We shouted “ David David” and he waved at us. The cook island drums were playing, so we went in front of it and started dancing. Mr Moran got out his phone and started recording us. Shaun also got his next kick.

The game was nearly finished and Adam Blair got the last try in between the gold post. We all went crazy, we even got a wave from Kalyn Ponga. The final score was 22 - 7.

Overall I thought playing on the Mt smart field was amazing and super fun. Also watching the Women’s Warriors was really inspiring. I had so much fun that night and our team won, the Women’s Warriors won and the Warriors won.
