Now I am moving to college, moving to collage is a big step for me. I am afraid to go to collage but excited at the same time. This is to all the year eights of 2014: you should learn as much as you can because by the time you reach collage you will be able to reach your standard.

Cross Crountry

Getting ready for the biggest sport event which I wished I never came school.Tying my shoelaces getting ready to run off. “On your mark, get set...GO” when I heard go I started to jog down the hill. Romano was leading the cross country. I started to run out of breath so I started to walk  until I caught my breath back, Julia and Maxine started to walk beside me so when we caught our breath we will all jog. “ Come on girls keep running” as the St Mary girls were cheering us on, as we were running Maxine was way ahead of me and Julia.

Julia and I stopped because we were going to pass a dog house, when we passed the dog house we started to jog. When we were almost to school noticed that we were doing 2 laps of the cross country then that was when I wanted to die. “ Julia we need to do one more lap” we were so happy.

Suddenly I saw Leone standing with Mr. Coakley “ Sir why isn't Leone running that ain't fair” I said. As we were running we went past the St Mary girls they were encouraging us to keep running so we did, when we were running we stopped because we were running out of breath.

Then when we caught our breath so we started to run, we ran around the no exit then we saw Mafu. When we went past Mafu we saw a girl name Desiree from St Mary’s College she was telling Julia and I that we are almost there so we started to sprint to school but Julia stop and I kept running. “ Run Genevieve” Julia said “ I will come”, as I ran I saw Mrs. William so I ran straight to to tell that I came third. When I told her I ran to the courts and I saw my friends there they were congratulating me for coming third place.

Level 3 Reading

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. The (2) busy day is beginning.

    At the edge of a(3) pond, a little green frog sits on a pondweed(4) in the water. He

is hidden here among  those(5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very quiet(6).

His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching the(7) dragonflies. He's watching for

slugs and worms. He's waiting(8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for flies(9).

    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums quietly(10) above the water. She is a fierce

hunter, looking(11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of sticks (12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards or(13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big eyes(14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a plant(15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs the(16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it

as(17), she munches away at it with her sharp teeth(18) parts.

    The little frog has seen all this before(19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,

so(20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the dragonfly(21) will take off towards him

when she's finished eating(22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting

still on (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies off (24).

Level 4 Reading

The largest of all flying creatures is the albatross, which can have a wingspan of 3.5 metres.

The bill of this huge seagull is long and powerful.

The albatrosses seagull  (1) is the southern oceans of the world (2) where it

may sometimes travel great limits(3). One albatross, found near the Chilean

oceans (4), had a special identification tag fastened on (5) its neck which

had been put on (6) in New Zealand only 12 days earlier. In (7) that

brief time the bird had about (8) 4800 kilometres, an average of 400 metres(9)

daily – an amazing feat of endurance.

They(10) are capable of flying at speeds more  (11) than 90 km/h. Their

outstanding ability to fly (12) and glide far better than any

other (13) bird has led to them being named(14)

'the prince of soaring birds'.

They eat (15) mainly on squid, fish, shrimp, and

other(16) creatures that are found near the ocean(17)

of the sea. They also swoop down(18) on scraps thrown overboard from ships.

Also(19) they will follow a ship for many(20) days.

Albatrosses will alight on the ocean(21) surface, but only when it is hot (22).

They visit land in the breeding only(23) for a brief time. Adult birds go(24)

out at sea for two or even(25) three years.
