Swimming Sports

Yesterday, my school went to the swimming sports in town.
When we got to the town pool, everyone had to go in their houses. I lined up in my swimming event.  I was after the 8 year olds. Mr Emms said jump in the water 9 year olds. The water felt like razor blades. Mr Emms said go. We all went. I took a breath. I was swimming as hard as I could. I beat them all.

Bio poem

James
Sporty, hungry, cheeky, greedy
Son of Cecelia and Wayne
Who loves cars, motorcross and scootering
Who feels bored, tired and afraid
Who needs a helicopter, pizza and toy cars
Who gives cars, googles and rubbers
Who fears crashes, ghosts and wasps
Who would like an Ipod, a computer and a phone
Who lives in Ngaruawahia, NZ
Parry

Motocross

One day, I went out side to ride my four wheeler.

I went to my dad. He got some gas. 

After a while, my dad's friend came over. His name was Daryl King. I got my four wheeler going.

I went up a hill. My dad told me to come down. I hit a lamp post. I had to get stitches in my lip.

Waitangi Day.

Waitangi Day was the day we remember when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. It is the day when NZ became a nation called  New Zealand.  It is a holiday to celebrate the Treaty getting signed.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 in the Bay of Islands. 500 Maori chiefs and  representatives of the Queen signed it.
On Waitangi Day, this year, I went to the Warehouse and I got two toy bikes and one car. The bike is a motorbike and the other bike is a roadbike and the car I already have.
