All Blacks vs France

The moment that I will remember is The All Blacks against France. I was extremely excited because it was the last match for the Rugby World Cup and The All Blacks made it!

At home it was my whole family watching the game.The game was on Sunday, October 23rd. As soon as The All Blacks performed their haka we all got up and joined in. The haka was just AMAZING!!! Then Haley Western was singing the National Anthem. The National Anthem came on and we were all singing proudly.It was like the whole house was going to explode.

Kick Off!Yeah!! as my sister shouted. My mum and dad were in the room watching it. As soon as they kicked off my mum shouted ‘GO’!!! So my dad got up and walked to the living room. The game was Awesome but The All Blacks did not play their best game. The game was played at Eden Park,the best stadium of stadiums in history.

I really enjoyed the game. It was extremely AMAZING!!!!! My favourite moment of Rugby World Cup was to see The mighty All Blacks win the Web Ellis Cup!!!!

My Flag

This is my Flag that represents me. I drew the L sign because it is the first letter of my my name. The stars are in the place of a L.
The color blue is for New Zealand.

Working With Miss G.

On Monday 22 of August Rm 5 and Rm 6 got their brand new netbooks. It was so amazing. As soon as the netbooks came, the teachers handed it out to the students. There was my own little netbook in front of me. Today I was full of excitement. I was ready to explore my netbook. As soon as we opened  it my eyes couldn't be taken off and I could smell that fresh smell. My netbook was just so wonderful. When we logged on the screen was just so clean and fresh. When I got my netbook it was fantastic.
I am so lucky to get one of these amazing netbooks.
