The bush walk was really fun. I learnt a lot and had fun, I like the bush. I smeared mud on my face to be to look like Ricky Baker. We were going to hike to the Iron Gates but the weather conditions were bad. The first Lodge burned down and Alice Nash replaced it using her own money. The closest river to the Lodge is the Oroua river.The most common tree is the tree fern. The part of the hike I enjoyed most was stomping in the mud and getting it all over me!!

Swimming at Makino on fridays I have learnt so much. My biggest improvement is in butterfly because I have become stronger in my shoulders. I will miss it next year. I still really need to work on my tumble turns my favourite stroke is breast stroke.

\For the Oroua Athletics I can 2nd = with Laura Manning I really enjoyed it. I came first in discs and sprints. My goal is to get better at long distance and pace my self my favourite is dices and sprint. for the relays I was in 3 the 8 and 9 year old and 10 and 11 year old and the flying squad. Brad and Crete helped me a lot with my Technique.

in swimming at Fielding Makino. We are learning backstroke,freestyle,breaststroke,butterfly and skuling. I have achieved a lot by do more than last time now I can do tumble turns my next step is to do more leanths without stopping and get better at tumble turns. I think we should keep doing it since we keep fit and have fun. Our teacher is really nice her name is Nicole she is the best. In the break I swim with Brooke and Sarah we do handstands and dives and pencils it is very fun I like missing school work.



Manawatu Striders' Interschool Road Race Ring Ring ... The bell goes for 11:00. James Sarah and I all go out and wait for Jess to pick us up and take us to the road race. We had to run 3km. It was hard but fun. It was cool to be there representing Oroua. James, Sarah and I walked some of the course. Then we are back at the start line. On your marks ... get set ... bang! We started running. I forget we were racing and just wanted to go for a morning run in the park. But I took off and passed a few people. I decided my person to try and keep with and kept on running pass the band. I so want to stop and watch but I had to keep running. Then on the road nearly and the 2k mark ... Can I stop now? I kept on running ... "1k to go. Keep on running. Pace yourself Lauren. Keep going. I can do this!" ... and over the line! Everyone does well. Then we head off to subway YAY.

Oroua Triathlon

My goals for the triathlon are:-
 * to run my best and not walk
 * and come in the top 5

__** My Triathlon Learning Story **__

Butterflies fill my tummy with nerves as I get dressed ready for the tri. As normally, I walk down to the bus and jump on but this time I am all psyched and ready for a race. My goal in my head I was focusing on is to come in the top 5 and my transitions. I think that I could have worked on my transition a bit more. As Mrs Cuming talks into the speaker the nerves come back and forth. Now year 5’s have to go and get ready for our race. We start to make our way to the start line now. ‘Clap’ is heard from the blocks. Then we all sprint off. The butterflies got lost in the crowd of people as I edge my way around the course … now for transition ... I jump up and over on to bike. Then I start to bike as fast as my little legs would take me up and around my dad. Dad was maybe cheering a little too much and too loudly. I take off again down the road, then I jump off my bike. Then I sprint to the pool, then swim to the end … touch … then I finish with a good nice run to the end. 3rd … not a bad effort. Sarah from Apiti came 2nd and Sarah from Kimbolton came 1st. Now I push my way past the crowd and find Sam. Once I find him, I take out to the play ground for a little play … up the ladder … over the bridge and down the slide. Then it's my turn … up the ladder … over the bridge … down the slide! Yay! Now it's time to go back. I ask Sam if he wants a mini ice cream. Of course he does. So I go and get one for him. Yum yum. I take Sam into the library, get him some books and then it is lunch time. Yum yum! Time to get a sausage. Now I have to get ready for the team race. I go around and get my bike. Now Mrs Cuming calls the year 5 and 6 team race. I run around and get ready for Sarah to tag me. As the blocks clap together I hear the crowd start cheering. As I see Sarah coming round the bend she passes Sarah from Kimbolton ... now my turn. I race away on my bike, around the corner, on the flat and round a bend. Now it a race between Georgia and I. As I come in I tag Sarah the swimmer. Then I walk to the tank and wait for Sarah to come and we run to the finish line together … Fourth … not bad. Drink time.

Our teacher is called Summer. We have been learning backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and diving skills. Summer tells us when we do breaststroke we bring our arms to our belly button.

In our last lesson we have to swim 8 lengths of anything. Next we swim 2 lengths of backstroke and then one more 200 m of anything. Finally they set up the inflatable. We have an hour to play on it.

Oroua Swimming sports
==In the Oroua swimming sports I came 4th in the Oroua Junior Championship. I swam free style, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. I was a bit nervous, my best was butterfly. Freestyle was hard, I felt nervous when I started but then I felt good when I came second. The crowds went wild when Georgia nearly beat me.==

**I felt proud when we came first.**


Triathlon The bit I found challenging was the bike because my seat was way too low I was really proud of my efforts to come 3rd. I had to do my best and work hard.I was a bit nervous and had millions of butterflies in my tummy at the start. There were lots and lots and lots of supporters. My Dad was the best supporter on the bike track and a little embarrassing at times but a good yella.

Triathlon goal
I am proud of my biking because I can catch up to Sarah.  I am looking forward to the team race.I came 2nd in the individual in the team I did the bike with Sarah, Jayda.
