Ocean Beach

Last Saturday,  I went to the Ocean Beach in Raglan.
It was a cloudy and a windy day. The waves were loud like a whistle. It was so windy, the sand was stinging my feet.
It was too cold to go for a swim. I started digging holes for shells and I found a lot of  looking shells.
After that, I took the sea shells home and got an ice cream. I had a blue berry boysenberry ice cream and I took the sea shells home and I had a good day.

SWIMMING SPORTS

Yesterday, my school and I went to swimming sports in Ngaruawahia.
When we got to the pools, all of us had to get changed for the swimming sports to start. When I was in the changing room, I felt like I was the only one getting changed because there weren’t many people in the changing room. When I came out of the changing room, lots of people were so loud, my ears felt like they were going to pop like a balloon. Next, the rain came. It felt cold like a popsicle in a cold freezer. When Mr Emms blew the whistle to get in the pool, the rain warmed the pool up, like warm socks. When it was time to start, people were cheering so I listened and went as fast as a running panther. When I got to the finish line, I came 1st place. I felt proud of myself. I think I really improved yesterday.

Proper Nouns

This morning, we learned about Proper Nouns. Proper Nouns are special names given to ordinary names for people, streets, animals and pets. Also, lots of other things you can think of. Sometimes in my class, we usually forget to start Proper Nouns with capital letters. Now we can remember to start our Proper Nouns with capital letters in our writing.  Proper Nouns can be fun because you can name lots of things.
So here are some examples.
Your cat's name...  Rufus
Your dad's name... Joseph
Your mum's name... Larrisa
Your street's name... Ellery St
Your dog's name... Montey
Your school's name...  St Paul's
Your country's name... New Zealand
