The true story of the three little pigs

For reading we had to write fairy tale with ourselves inside, I put myself in the story of the three little pigs. I hope you like it and make sure that you leave a comment!

Have you ever heard about the three little pigs? Because if you have, then here is the true story.
On a sunny morning in spring, I decided to wear my wolf costume to school, everyone liked my
costume, but I noticed that not everyone was here, The three little pigs weren’t here to see my
epic costume! So when no one was looking, I crept out of class and went looking for them, I
didn’t know where their house was, so I kind of got lost, I was wondering in the woods when I
saw Three little houses, one made of straw ( which I am allergic to ), one made of wood ( which
I am also allergic to ) and one made out of bricks ( which I am not allergic to ).

I walked up to Lucy’s house( the one made of straw ) and tried to look through the window to
see if she was home,  but she wasn’t, on the way to check on Jeffreys house I sneezed, and
when I sneezed, Lucy house toppled over.

so I went to Jeffreys house, but he wasn’t home either, his house was made of wood, and I
am allergic to wood so I sneezed and his house fell too.

Last but not least, Jeff’s house, Thankfully his house was made out of brick, so there was no
way that I could sneeze this time, and even better, they were all in his house! But when I
asked to come in, all they said was “ Not by the hairs of my chinny chin chin!”, I couldn’t
understand why they were being so weird, So I said “ So i’ll HAAH, HAAH, CHOO!!!’, I
Sneezed the biggest sneeze in my life! turned around to see what was making me sneeze,
and there was a piece of straw tuck to my shoe! I got to close, and then I sneezed again!.
After a few go’s at the door I decided to climb down the chimney, Little did I know that the
pigs dinner was cooking and SPLASH!!! I landed right in their stew and went flying straight
back up! I dashed past the houses, sprinted through the forest and back to class, the good
news was that by the time I got there, It was already home time, the bad news was that all
the other kids saw my poor burnt tail!

Attitude

This afternoon, a person from Attitude ( A company ) came to talk to us about our personality. He said that a group of psychologists studied peoples personality, he said that there are 4 main types of personalities, they just named them after animals, Here are the names and meanings:
Otter: Joking, funny, energetic
Lion: Taking charge, being a role model/leader
Golden retriever: Kind, Caring, and Calm
Beaver: Listens, Serious, and follows instructions

These are all the animals/personalities that he taught us.
He also taught us to never think that you aren't normal enough, because no one is normal, everyone is unique and different, so it is good to be different.

Sailing

We went sailing for a class trip last friday. The next day for writing we
had to do make recount on what we did, here is my recount. I hope that you
like it and make sure that you leave a comment!


Last week on friday, we as a class went sailing at lake Rua. When we got there our
instructors taught us how to to “ Rig “ The boat. fIrst we had to learn the names of all
the parts The Bomb, the Rudder, the tiller, the hiking stick, the sail, the center board and
the spirit. Afterwards we learnt how to put them together, it was tricky trying to remember
all the things to do, so the instructors somehow read my mind and decided it was easier
to learn bit by bit.


Firstly we had to put the sail into its place. Afterwards we had to connect the bomb
to the sail, then they taught us how to tie a knot on the mast so that it doesn’t just slip
through the pulleys. We learnt a whole lot in only a few minutes, and we weren’t even
done yet!


When we finally got to actually get into the water so that we could sail, I found out
that we could only have three boats at a time, I was sad because I had to wait a
super long time, but When it was finally my turn to sail, I had the time of my life! It
was nice and windy when I took off, and the sun was so unbelievingly hot that day
That I felt like I was in a microwave!


Straight after everyone had a go at sailing we had lunch, I had two
croissants with lettuce, ham and cheese in my lunch, It was delicious.
It wasn’t the end of the sailing trip just yet though, we still had a little play around,
luckily for us, we bought a few bouncy balls a cricket set, tennis balls and some
ping pong rackets. I played cricket for a while but then I changed and played a game
that my friends made up, It’s like tennis and volleyball combined.


Once our little play was over we went sailing again, but this time we were
allowed to have six boats at a time on the water! My friend Thom had  two turns
on his boat, I had 10 goes and my friend Zack had 17 goes on his boat altogether!
That's more than eight times the amount Thom had! After sailing we took our boats
a part and than drove back to school, I had two whole seats to myself!


We got to school at around 2:45 and we were allowed to play in the playground until
it was  time to go home.

Athletics

We have been working on recounts for the past week or two and I wrote about athletics Day.
We had athletics so I
decided to write about it for my recount. I hope that you like it
and make sure that you leave a comment!


Athletics Day


On Friday we had athletics day, there was a range of sports we did, like Shot Put,
Discus, Sprints, high Jump and more. My favourite was sprints, discus and high Jump.


Firstly we ( The year five boys, we were doing it in age groups ) Did long Jump,
First in line was Corbin, he got around 2 meters, we had to get to three meters in
order to make it to Zones, After him it was my turn I jumped 2 meters and 96 cm,
In other words I was 4 cm close, the closest yet! But it was only a matter of time when
someone beat me, His name is Zack, he Jumped 2 meters and 98 cm! 2 cm in front of
me! Now I was in second place now, but then zack was Beaten! My friend Alize beat him
and got 3m and 16 cm! He is now able to go to Zones. I wasn’t really surprised, because Alize
is quite an athlete!


Next it was Discus, as I already mentioned it is one of my favourites, Again it was Corbin first,
he threw 5m, Unfortunately we weren’t old enough to go to Zones for this one, anyway. The
teacher
running Discus put us in an order that we were to stay in until relays, again Corbin was first, then
some other kids until it was finally me, I threw about 7.03m, which was the furthest, but Alize beat
me once again by about 2 meters! I was stunned! Soon enough we headed off to Shot put, then sprints.


I absolutely love sprints, Last time I came second in the 50 meter sprints and first in 80 meter
sprints. Mrs Walters ( Our instructor ) Put us in three rows, this was because she was timing
us to see if we could make it to Zones or not, and because it would be easier to remember three
times at ones instead of 9. First it was Jonathon Eamon and Corbin on the fifty meter, then me,
Rhys and Louis, I came first, Louis came second and Rhys came last. Then Alize, Thom and Toby
ran, and then we started again, Jonathon Eamon and Corbin, then me Rhys and Louis excetra,
everything went the same except for one thing, we ran 80 meters, last but not least we ran 100
meters, I came first out of everyone and maybe qualified for Zones.

Then it was lunch time and afterwords, relays.
