Te Reo Conversations

                         Reflection:
I Think we did well pronouncing the words. But I think we could of spoke louder so the camera could hear us.
I really think we spoke all the words correctly for all the sentences and we all asked each other lots of things.
We probably could have spoke a bit slower and clearer.
We were very confident speaking and acting all the words out.

To Compete

                    To compete or not compete

The winter Olympics have started and are being held in Sochi Russia athletes have been complaining about the slope style course being to hard.Some of the athletes have even pulled out.

If you competed and you got injured it could be the end of your career or even just a serious injury could stop you winning any medals in slope style. your sponsors might leave you if you don’t win or get injured and if the athletes think its scary and dangerous it must be . So that's why my choice would be to not compete in the slope style competition.

If you competed and got seriously injured it could affect your confidence in competing in other races. Also if the other competitors pull out and you win you won’t feel like you truly won the competition.

Lots of people say that they should still compete because they want to represent there country well but if you compete you might never get to represent your country again if you get injured.

So those are my reasons for not competing in the slope style competition.

T.K Swimming Sports

 This morning it was T.K swimming sports.We walked down with classes 16,15 and 13 to the village pools. Once we arrived there we got changed and got ready to swim!

I was going to race in free style and breast stroke. After waiting for a while my race got called out. I was racing with 5 other people. The whistle went I dived into the pool I could see the other people in my race beside me. At the end I found out I came 3rd.My next race which was breast stroke,The whistle went once again I dived into the pool at the end I got told my time and then I found out I was 3rd again.At the end of all the races we got a free swim.
