Inspire Me

Valerie Adams inspires me by the way she practices her shot puts every day
and the way she wins lots of medals.When she was 14, she started taking part in a school competition and being seen by Kirsten Hellier.

When she had her relationship with Kirsten Hellier she broke up with him and a few months they became friends, a few years later Kirsten Hellier was Valerie Adams adviser/coach.

Valerie Adams was born on the 6th of October,1984, in Rotorua which is in New Zealand, to a tongan mother( Lilika Ngauamo) and an English father (Sydney Adams) but the sad thing is that her mother passed away when Valerie was 16 years old.

Losing The Keys!!

Earlier that day I went to school. On the way I went to the shop to buy my lunch. Sandwiches looked delicious, so I bought a chicken one. Yum, I couldn’t wait for lunchtime! While walking past the patrollers I had a feeling that something was lost. Weird, I should be thinking about seeing my friends but I couldn’t get rid of this feeling.

I put my hand in the pocket that should have had my key in. It was gone! I ran back towards the shop but the bell rang. I turned around and came to class. I told my teacher that my key was gone. He said, “Too bad, Too sad. You have writing to do.”

All day I worried about my key. It felt like it was all I could think of. Morning tea, lunch came and went. I couldn’t stop being anxious.
Finally, the bell rang. I dashed to the shop. I searched on the floor, no luck! I asked the shopkeeper if she had seen a key. I described the key to her. It was gold, solid gold. The design was in the shape of a flower and it was as long as a carrot, (Not a really big or really small carrot. One that was bite-size.)

She produced, under the counter, a large, plastic bag of keys. She said, “All these keys have been lost in my shop. Let’s have a look.” So, she tipped all of them out onto the counter. There was my key. I was so excited I hugged her. It must have fallen out of my pocket when I paid for my sandwich. Next time I will keep my key in a safe place.

ART ALIVE

This term we have been learning about art in room 19. We have been painting and learning about Van Gogh, Picasso, Henri Matisse, Monet and an artist from New Zealand, Danielle Hulme. We have been learning to paint like them using line and colour.

I have enjoyed learning about Van Gogh because his paintings look real. His use of brushstrokes and colour captures a moment in time.










This picture show Van Gogh shoes in 1886.
