 * Triathalon**

My goal for this year is to come first again but also to win by a really long way and push myself to the limit. I am proud of my training I have done at home and at school. Next I am going to work on speed not stamina and my biking.


 * Swimming**

This year at swimming I got better at sculling and I really enjoyed flipping over the Kayaks. I am proud of the way I helped others get all of the water out of their Kayaks. I am amazed at how well I did in training for, and results in, the swimming sports. Next time I want to get better at blowing water out of my snorkel. I hope my swimming strategies will come in handy in the triathalon.

=2012= Swimming

This year I enjoyed the survival lesson. I got better at my breathstroke technique. Next time I would like to practice breathing on both sides in freestyle.

//Operation: Survival// 'Cole it'd be funny if you jumped in and you didn't come back up' 'Actually I'd prefer you didn't come back up' 'OK lets see' I exclaimed as I slid into the pool and disappeared under the surface. I immediately scurried back up to the sunlight. I broke though the water and bobbed on my back like a stick. Cole stepped in and emerged to the surface. After we had to huddle up. I was squished between Huntah and Brooke. We all had to break up and make a line and kick the opposite direction. Next was sculling. I was going down and up the water unlike Hannah, Charlotte and Huntah because they had life jackets on. Cole and Brooke were struggling too. Finally our instructor told us we could go on the DIVING board. I got filled with with excitement and zipped to the ladder and climbed up to the highest platform like a monkey would. I walked out to the edge..... and leaped into the darkness.

My Makino Swimming Report Sadly, I have only had the pleasure of taking Tom a couple of times this term, but when I have, he has worked very well. Tom has beautiful freestyle and backstroke and has been quick to take on board all technique suggestions I have given him. Tom has shown me some amazing butterfly, well done Tom!

Skiing ...
==== We drove up through the forest and the mountain like ice-cream came into view. The sun was so shiny it nearly blinded me. We pulled up in the crowded car park. And hopped out getting our water proofs and goggles on. After that we rushed inside and got the really- hard- to-get-on skiboots. As always they are as hard to get on as catching air. Next I hobbled over to get my skis. I hoped to get silver but I got yellow again. I got my yellow poles and walked out side determined to get up high noon. I plonked my bag on the table and went for my first run. As I got down there Stan and Jack were already going up Park Lane but Stan led Jack up Movin pick instead. My first run was real good hadn't fallen over once. But as I went up the magic carpit I nearly did. I did three more runs without falling over had a snack and went up the lift going to my lesson. Hair pricked up on my neck on the chilly ride up. I finally made it up and skied down the icy slope. I took my skis of and slowly tramped over to my lesson lot's more were in my lesson this year there was Stan, Zahn, Charlotte, Hannah, Amber and Brooke. Our instructor was called Billy and we introduced ourselves. Stan said he was Billy. T. James! On our first run Brooke had already been dropped. Cole joined he got dropped. Then we finally got to go down park lane. l earnt how to parallel turn going down. I zoomed past every one and did the jump at the end. Next minute the lesson was over I went and grabbed some chip in the expensive shop and went up movinpick with Zahn, Mrs F and I. We got up and travelled slowly down the bone yard Made it to park lane. And came down to the bottom. We went up the Giant next. And that wasn't much harder than MovinPick. It was a really chilly ride though I went up that twice. Then finally came High Noon Emily agreed to come with us they had luxury chiar lifts but you coultn't enjoy them looking at what you were going to do. We made it up ad shakily went down the slope. Huntah was behind me and Zahn infront nearly crashing and Emily leading the way. We made it into a bowl and Zahn flipped over trying to copy Emily. I laghed my head off. We weaved our way through the track and I only frell over once. I was rapped at my perfomance but we got a bit lost. We drove home babbling on about what we did.... ====

 * sound** **of** **the gun crack jolted my heart to life. My legs took off. As I ran through the rocks my feet were screaming to holt but they didnt. My sore legs carried on. My ankles rolled as i went through the bumby paddock. But I didnt stop. I floey back over the fence and continued my long journy back. The creecks were slashing my feet. The ground felt like broken glass.....But I didnt stop. The finish line was in sight. Relief hit me as hard as a boxing glove. But there were still more rocks I had finally passed the worst part of the race. After the rocks I started spinting with a piece of joy in my heart. In the end I came 2nd. I got and because of all my training I did and i am REALLY glad that I dont have to do it for anothr year!** ||

 * Lots of things were floating through my stomach at the moment. Including guilt, and lots and lots of butterflies. My thoughts got cut off as soon as Mr Richardson came into view! Now a new person had joined the party in my stomach; Mr Nervous. **
 * Mr Richardson muttered out all of the distances. I still felt sorry for not having time to manage Logan. **
 * Wheep! The sound of terror ran through my ears. A sound that had my legs flying off without me. I had started off into a sprint. When I got to the first corner I paced out into a jog ..... suddenly I knew I was going to win. **

I enjoyed high jump because I got 2nd. I think the relay went well because I passed a person nearly twice as tall as me. I got better at high jump because last year I got 3rd but this year I got 2nd. The strategy I used was to be confident. My goal was to not get a 1. My goal next year is to get all fives. I will do this by practising in shot put because that is the only thing I got a 1 in.=====

This year my soccer goal is dribbling and waiting to pass. I was swinging back and forth like a mad man. The four puffed pistons on the swing were Me, Ash, Huntah and a Rangi guy. I was nearly horizontal as the swing was getting to its highest. I was getting low on energy so I slid down the swing pole and leaped off. "Mum," I moaned "Can I have some money?" " No I said two dollars is all I was giving you," she said " But they have rip off prices... Two dollars for one sausie!" I yelled " Well too bad" "D'oh!" Snow, Sun, Ski. “Where are they?” I said to Stanley as I peered over the hill looking everywhere for Mrs Fielder, Amber and Zahn.  “Let’s just go up the chair lift and look for them up there,” said Stan in a hopeful voice.  “Creak...” said the bars as I pulled them down to my waist. The seat wobbled as Stanley and I moved all over the seat looking everywhere for the trio.  Finally I spotted Mrs Fielder in her unique yellow and black jacket. I yelled, “Up here!” She had spotted me. We were going up the rail faster than I thought. I felt like a bird gliding through the foggy sky. Finally we broke out of the fog and noticed Mt Egmont’s tip looking out of the clouds. “SSScccchhhh,” said my skis as they met the icy ground. “Sta-Stanley”  “Oof!” I grunted as my face slammed to the ground. I shuffled to the left to get out of peoples way. “That was an amazing view,” I whispered to Stanley as I slid my goggles over my sun lit eyes. I spotted Mrs Fielder and Zahn coming up on the chair lift. Then they slid down the icy slope.  “Hurry up Tom!” said Amber. “Where did she come from,” I said to myself. I skied down following her. I had remembered what my teacher had taught me and so I started doing parallel turns. Little did I know I was actually achieving my goal; turning. I continued doing it until..... WHAM! another skier had hit me. This is what I found most challenging.  “Watch out!” Stanley yelled at Zahn when he saw me sliding towards him. A second later we were a tangled mess. I wished I had brought my toasty gloves. That was my key competency goal; to organise and look after my belongings.  It was easy going down Park lane because it wasn’t steep. But it was fun on the Giant with powdery snow flying everywhere as I turned. My next step is to go up High noon. I hope we can go again this year because I can challenge myself and make new goals. media type="file" key="Tom+Stanley Ski Reflection!.flv" width="360" height="270" = = =__My Cross Country Reflection__= =At the cross country my goal was to get 1st. I didn't achieve my goal because I came 2nd= =(like always). As I was walking the track all I could smell was the fresh frosty air. I was very proud of myself because I tried my hardest and to me that makes me a winner. As I was running I felt confident because I was right behind Flinn.= = = =2010= =My Skiing goal is to go to the top of the mountain and ski down so I'm ready for snowboarding next year. I'm going to help the juniors ski so they can start going up the chairlift.= = 2010 = = My goal at cross-country is to come 1st because I come 2nd every year! = **To achieve my goal I will practise alot and try to beat time at home, believe in myself, try my hardest and practise climbing fences and jumping over creeks.** == = = =2010= __** Hockey Reflection **__ To prepare for the Oroua Hockey Tournament, we practiced. To be a successful team we worked together. Used the whole field. Tried to have only one person going in for the ball. Trapped the ball before hitting it. Dribbled the ball up the field and around our opposition. Looked for the pass into space for our team members. Looked down field. ||  || Key Competencies Practised. All tried our hardest. Worked together to achieve our goals. - cooperated. Encouraged one another. Listened to out coaches. Built on prior skills. Worked to the strengths of our team members. Played in a position that would benefit our team. All kept on giving our best right to the end. ||
 * Skills Used space / tried not to bunch.

I am proud of the way I improved my spacing. I did this by trying hard and practicing at playtime. The area I found most challenging was getting around the other team because all the guys I passed were bigger than me. We came 4th=. Our team achieved our goal by trying hard. I particularly enjoyed lunch to get my energy back. The best part of the tournament was when I found out that we came 4th. Throughout the day, I was proud of the way I tried my hardest. When we next play hockey, I will get on the ball more.

**__Oroua Triathlon__** My Goal at the triathlon was to be in the top 12. I achieved my goal because I came 11th. I worked towards my goal because I tried my hardest. I found the swim easy because it was a small circuit so it wasn't that much of a challenge. I enjoyed the run the most because it was a challenge because I was at the back and I had to pass 11 people and at the end of the run I was 2nd and I mucked up on my bike. My goal next year is to come a better placing. By Tom
