WPCA Reflection

On Wednesday we went Rafting down the Arnold first we got picked up by the polytech people then we
drove to the polytech at the polytech we got changed into our wetsuit and thermals. We jumped back into
the vans and drove to the Arnold we got our safety instructions some of the things we learnt were how to
people onto the boat if they fell off and if our instructor yelled to get down we had to get down and hold on
where we had to hold on.

As we got in the water we had to learn how to paddle that was pretty easy then we went downstream on
the first set of rapids we were going about 7 km per hour and then we had started talking about trees
there where beach trees dog trees kahikatea and heaps more than he asked us do you know why the
water brown I said poo as a joke and he said it's the taniwha poo.

Then Reuben our instructor was telling us some funny jokes and then our instructor yelled GET DOWN!
We flew over the rock crash as we hit the water “woohoo” we yelled as we nearly fall out.

My Running Time Reflection

Every day for the last two years we have been running a 2.8 km run.
At the start of 2017 running was absolute torcher and I was just at the point of some days I was asking for a note for the run (yes a note for the run would sound silly now).  getting times like 22 minutes or 18 minutes and pushing my hardest I would rarely get 12 minutes maybe 11 minutes (no you would have to be dreaming).

2018 was a different story tho that straight line on my graph is 12  11 and 10-minute run as you can see tho I was getting some bad times at the start of the year I snapped out of it and I got heaps of 12 minute runs and term two came and I was getting 11 minute runs then came Cross country I won in our year for the school which made me qualify for the grey district cross country then carrying on for the year I just started to wake up and I am prepared for the run and my stats have been dropping all year my average for the run this year has dropped hugely this year.

The reason why I think I have been getting better times is that I have been biking every day and basketball fitness and everything else I have been doing outside of school and I would like to thank my teachers Mr. McAulay And Mr. S-W And I am sad to see it go

Teachers on strike

The teachers went on strike yesterday to get more pay and get more supplies for school and they need more teachers. I think teachers should get paid more to attract more teachers
