Why fitness is super important

 

For the last 20 minutes, we have had to write a DLO about why fitness is important. I personally think fitness is really important because it's a good way to make your life a little bit more fun. We have had to run the 4J's run today and even though I hate it I do try (sometimes) because I know it is good for me. I really think that if you are fit you can live a better life with heaps of fun activities that everyone loves. I really enjoyed writing up all the reasons why you should try to stay fit and I disliked having a time limit. I could be BTB (Better Than Before) by adding more things about why fitness is good and how you could stay fit.

You went where writing

 Houhora

Houhora is a harbour located about 40 minutes away from Cape Reinga, in the North Island. It is a great place for fishing and swimming in the warm water. On sunny days, it’s great to play some backyard cricket and go for a nice snorkel near the drop-off.

In the daytime the water is nice and refreshing to go for a quick dip in the water or do some fishing off the wharf. It’s great to go for a bike ride and feel the cool wind blow your hair back, with all of your friends. Down the wharf is very pretty with all the little fish splashing around in the water and it is always a highlight jumping in the cool, fresh, clear water. Going to the beach for a quick surf or boogie board is always a highlight as the water is crystal clear and really warm. You can go out deep and see beautiful stingrays swim under you in the clear water. The lagoon is good to go for a paddleboard in and snorkel around while the adults sit in the sand and sunshine.

In the night-time the harbour has a beautiful view of Mt Camel and great water to go floundering in with the bright torches spotting out each flounder. It's really nice to go out for a quick kayak and look at the beautiful water with all the little fish. It's nice going for a walk along the big wharf and seeing all the ships floating out in the water and watching each little fish hurriedly swim along. The beach is really pretty at night to watch the sunset and all the nice waves crashing down on the surface. The lagoon has crystal clear water, perfect for a night swim, and amazing little fish swimming around calmly in the rocks. 

A little while ago we had to write a descriptive writing piece about somewhere we went in the holidays. I didn't go there in the summer holidays but I have been there a lot, and I am going this upcoming holiday so Miss Gibson let me use it. I wrote mine about Houhora, a place up the top of the North Island. I enjoyed writing this because it brought back lots of great memories. I didn't really dislike anything about writing this but I could have been BTB (Better Than Before) by adding more writing and more descriptive words, but otherwise, it's pretty good.

Energy rap

 

For the last couple of weeks, me and Ellie have been working on a song all about energy and how to save it.  I found it challenging filming while people were around and editing all the clips. I enjoyed filming because we joked around a lot and it was lots of fun. I could be BTB (Better Than Before) by having more quality clips and being more prepared but other than that it's pretty good.
