Work At Night At Hira Bhana

At night I go to work with my dad and we work at Hira Bhana. We do some planting on the farm so we can provide the markets with vegetables and some fruit.
I can drive a tractor while my dad, uncles, and cousins select the ripe fruits and vegetables. After the adults have their turn at picking the fruit and vegetables we have our chance to prove that we can correctly pick the food supplies for the markets,  as well as letting  the adults have a break.

Our Duffy Book Selection

Each student in Room 12 got to pick four duffy books. There was a whole pile of alternate books I could choose from. 

There were many cool books but I could only choose three. I thought to myself why cant we pick more than four books? When I was searching through the pages I found two books but still didnt find my third book so I just sat there and waited for my name to get called.

It was getting close to my name so I quickly scanned through the pages and picked a random book about a minecraft zombie. When I was finished felt calm once again 

Boxing

Commonwealth Games: Taylah Robertson

The boxer Taylah Robertson has claimed Australia's first medal of the Commonwealth Games before even stepping in the ring. 19 year old Taylah Robertson has scored a bye in Tuesday nights draw, propelling herself into the Commonwealth Games semi-finals of the seven-strong 51kg division.                                           
Win or lose Robertson will take home the bronze medal but faces a long and anxious wait before her first bout on April 13.

I think Taylah is a marvelous girl because she is brave when she fights in the ring for her country. I think she also deserves the bronze medal because she trained very hard to get to where she is now.

Duffy Award

Today at school we had reading. We were reading a book called ANZACs at Galipolli and we had to look for the definition for every word we didn't know. While searching we discovered there were multiple definitions for some of the words. We had to  pick one and give a reason for our choice.

I gave sensible reasons why I chose the meaning to lots of words.

Then we had lunch and played outside and then the bell rang and everyone went to the multi purpose room for our whole school assembly. When we were at the assembly the first thing we did was sing the New Zealand national anthem.

After that the prefects talked about being safe around roads, listening to your teacher and more. Lastly, we then had our Duffy awards and I received one.  I was so surprised and I got to choose a book to take home and read.
