SWIMMING SPORTS

On the 26th of February some kids went to the swimming sports at the village pools in the  Havelock   north.  There were 4 houses and they were Te Kanawa,
Shepard, Nepier, and Hillary. All of the teams raced and they did their chants and TK won the swimming sports because TK is the best. I raced in breaststroke, freestyle and I competed in the year seven relay team and I did the breaststroke part in the relay.  My favourite part of the whole thing was after the race because I could go home and rest.  In my races I did not that well but I'm still happy for how I went.      

Te Reo Maori

   
Our group did pretty good I think and I think we did good with our pronunciation and our fluency and our confidence was all right but we could do a little better by not taking so long to get it right.

To compete or not compete

Sochi winter Olympics

In the Sochi winter Olympics in Russia some athletes in the slope style have chosen to not compete in the competition because the track is too dangerous and are worried that they could hurt themselves and end their courier and never compete again.  Some said that they would keep competing to show that they aren't scared and that they are pussies and represent their country and not let their sponsors down.

If I was one of the athletes I would stay because I would not want to let my country down and if I pull out then all those years of training would have gone to waste and then I would have to wait another four years until I can compete again.

Reason 1: You have trained all of your life trained all and then I would have gone to waste because you have trained and then you pulled out and then train for another three years so you could go to the next winter Olympics in four years time and a of money because you would of had to pay for the trainers and the person who tells you what to eat and the physio if you got hurt.

Reason 2: It has cost a lot of money to get there and then If you pull out you would of lost a lot of money because you would have had to paid for the flight,the gears,the trainer,all the physio and the chiropractor and even attending the Sochi Olympics.

TK swimming sports

Today we had the Te kanawa (TK) swimming sports at the village pools to see who the people that will be competing to swim against the other houses at HNI they are Hillary,Nepia and Shepard houses.  There are only one year seven class in TK and that is my class room seventeen and there are three other classes in our house and they are room sixteen, room fourteen and room thirteen and they are year eight classes.  It was good for our class because most of us were able to make it in to the competition thing against the other houses.


There were four races you could do and they were backstroke,freestyle,breaststroke and the last one was backstroke and if you wanted to you could to wits at the end if you could not swim a length of the village pool witch is twenty-five meters long.  I did the lengths of the pool and the race I did was breaststroke and I came second and Rowan just bet me by a couple of seconds but I was still happy with second place I didn't want to do the other races because I was not that got at freestyle and backstroke so I didn't want to race.  The race works by if you make into the top eight you in backstroke and the top six in the other races.
