The Boy who Learned to Fly

Usain Bolt was late again! He was always later for school, and was always in trouble too! Good thing he was speedily fast - he could even make it to school on time, but only if he really sprinted to school. Bolt Dashing through houses, heard a bark from a short distance, turning around with a slightly scary shock. Bolt rushing to get to class, Coach looking at his papers, well Usain Sprinted and messed his papers and all his papers messed up. Luckily he made it in time for class.

He didn’t even know he had no lunch, feeling so hungry that he looked at his classmate and saw them having fun with their healthy delicious lunch. Coach ready to munch his food, but as he looked forward to Bolt. As Coach sat down asking him if he wanted his food then he would have to race the fastest kid in school. The look on his face looked scared and nervous that he might lose, and was also taller than bolt. As he blowed the whistle, but the fastest kid was leading in front, but as coach slowly opened the bowl and Bolt went dashing to the tree and won the race against the fastest kid. With an excitement on his face made the coach happy, but then Coach said to the Bolt” maybe you should take this more serious. That was when he knew that he was that fast.

Furthermore he grew and grew and grew and started to become an athlete, and was competing with other athletes and was dashing through people and became a champion. As he knew he was winning so much trophies and medals he was so nervous for his other race because he didn’t know if he could do it or not. But as his mother came in (Jennifer Bolt), and saw Usain Bolt sad and nervous, she came in and told Bolt. That whatever happens you never give up and try your best. He was also scared that he won’t win the race, that even his shoes were not on the right pair, his legs were shaking and was nervous. As his mum made him happy he got up and was walking competitive, ready to run.

As the man was ready to say it, Usain Bolt looked left then right and smiled, the man said “Ready, Set Go. So all the athletes were running and Bolt looked around and saw his mother, then he wanted to make his country and his mum happy, so he dashed to the finished line, and came first again.

WALT: We have been learning about what made Usain Bolt become the fastest person in the world and what made him be the fastest, and who inspired him to run and come 1st in the Olympics. And winning the medals, Trophies and started to get sponsored by Gatorade.

Advice Column

WALT. We have been learning about Athletes and what they do in the morning, we have also been learning about how to give advice to athletes and I had been given a task to give advice to Chris Yoddle because he needs information about money issues. And he also works part time, so I have gave him advice on what to do, and I told Chris that he should make a schedule on what he needs to do and what time does he have to train and when he needs to work and also when to eat his breakfast and what time he needs to go to bed, then get up and get ready to train the Olympics.

Technology as a Performance Enhancing Drug

So here I will be writing about Performance-Enhancing Drugs. Technology can be considered cheating in the Rio Olympics 2016, because it is not fair on the Other Athletes. Why is Technology is very similar to Performance-Enhancing Drugs?

Well Technology is very similar to Performance-Enhancing drugs because way back in the days in the Olympics Athletes had never used technology, but then now Athletes do use technology to see what can make them faster and how to win the Gold, Silver and Bronze medal. So that gives them adventures to other athletes that do not use Technology to compete in the Rio Olympics for 2016. Technology and Performance-Enhancing drugs use to have it at the beginning of the Olympics. Well for an example athletes that are doing sprinting, well the kind of shoes they wear, they have spikes underneath to help athletes to run faster and it may help them to win the Gold, Silver and Bronze medal.

Furthermore why is technology allowed in the olympics but performance-enhancing drugs is not? Well the reason why I think technology should be banned is because it is  very very similar to performance-enhancing drugs. Technology helps athletes to become faster than what they actually are, but technology can also help athletes by beating the world records. So why isn’t performance-drugs allowed in the olympics when it’s similar to technology.

Moreover Technology can be seen as cheating because it’s is very similar performance-enhancing drugs but it is way different because performance enhancing - drugs can do something to your body, and it will not be good because that is the reason why they want performance-enhancing drugs in the Olympics. But technology only helps the outside of your body and how you can do your movement.

Walt: write an effective explanation about why technology can be considered a performance-enhancing drug

My Olympic

What is special about Olympics? Well Olympics is special to people because you can see how athletes do their own sports and also see how athletes show off their talent like sprinting and also like weightlifting they can show off their bulky muscles. And swimming is showing how fast you can swim.  And it is special because it is world’s largest sport organization for adult and also children's. And I also think that Olympics are special because Maybe some kids may follow their dreams to be a athletes. In every four years the Olympics are held.

In every four years the Olympic games are held. Each country competes against other countries. Every athlete trains every day, for an example justin gatlin uses four hyper speed cameras to see how he starts when he starts running, it help justin gatlin to get faster as he is running and the, and they use the hyper speed cameras to look at what kind of position he does as he starts to run. And volleyball they wake up 6:00 in the morning to practice and practice for their big day. And sometimes they practice till 3 or to 4 hours a day.

What is used for athletes to win? It can help Athletes by wearing the right uniform and wearing the right shoes that will make you comfortable to run in. For an example sprinting it could help Athletes by doing the right position as they start off for their run.  And by that it could help you by leading the rest of the athletes to the finish line. That is how Justin gatlin uses his hyper speed to see what could make him faster.

Some Athletes get rewarded for competing and winning a Gold, Silver and Bronze medal. And also showing their skills to the whole wide world, and people screaming and shouting because they are relieved that they came 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. And when they come Gold,Silver and bronze they always get their flag and hold it up to represent their country’s. And Usain bolt always does his special move.

Real life heroes. Two girls helping out Samoa:

  Kelsi and Aleisha helping Schools in Samoa

Have you ever been to Samoa? Well I haven’t, but There are two girls who had been helping schools in Samoa. There names are Kelsi and Aleisha. they are also a year 12 student at feilding high school. They had a holiday to Samoa, after they had arrived back to New Zealand they had realized that they should help Samoan Schools. So Kelsi and Aleisha got busy with their Pens and books. So I am going to tell you how they are a hero.

So Kelsi and Alisha wrote letters to all the primary school’s in felding. And so they had been collecting gears, like old computers and books like old school journey and also sports equipment. The mum was also a teacher at feilding high school, and she had access to all the books that they have not been using. And also Aleisha’s little sister was also helping them as well.

Well Aleisha said that, the reason why they are helping Samoa is because in Samoa, in schools the only thing they pay is their Teachers. So that means the books and the pencils they have they have to fundraise themselves to get more equipment. They went to office max which had plenty of spare things, like books and papers. They had spent two days on sorting things out.

Furthermore Aleisha and Kelsi didn’t know how to send it to Samoa. So they were trying to find a way to ship the stuff to Samoa. One of the air force member was really happy that Kelsi and Aleisha had put these things together for Samoa to use. And now all of the equipment has arrived to Samoa. So now they have Books, Sports gear and old computers. They also have selves to put books on. It was worth 75 thousand all because of Aleisha and Kelsi.

And now after they had finished providing equipment to Samoa, they now say that they are back to messing around.  These are two smart girls who didn’t walk away from this situation. And so that was how they became a hero.

WALT: explain why someone may be considered a hero in real life. 
As you can see i have wrote about 2 high school girls who had helped school's in Samoa.

Tips for comic arts

This week my group which is the Red bands, have been learning about how to give tips for Comic Arts. Well we had to spilt up into 3 groups, and I was with Ajani and Richard. So Here is what we have been writing and brainstorming about. 

My Fab Four

My Avengers Assemble

Pow! Boom! In 2 years…. Time will run out. There was a evil villain named Loki, He lived in the United Kingdom. He was a bad evil villain he wished he could take over the world. So had an idea that will make him take over the world. Loki had a brother and his name was Thor. Thor was way different to Loki so Thor was way different person compared to Loki. See you know Thor is a good person and Loki is a evil person. (which you should already know)

Furthermore Loki and Thor were getting ready to go to bed. Once they were sleeping the lightning struck and gave them powers so they both were strong and they both got an ability to be invisible. As they got struck by lightning their heart was pounding super fast as the lightning struck them. As Thor woke up he felt so shiftless it felt like he was going to faint. Moreover Thor felt furious he wanted to fight with his own brother Loki so he got his weapons ready to go. So he went to Loki’s house. As he got there he was creeping through his house trying to look for loki.

As Loki was having his sleep he went to the kitchen to make a poison drink for Loki to drink. He woke his brother up. he said his brother woke up and saw him and the drink he held. “Oh brother thanks for the drink” he slowly drank it and immediately fell to the ground. Thor now was known as a murder,the only murder in the Avengers team. The mystery of Loki still goes on but Thor would never tell anybody

To be continued…
