Snr Bike Ride Slow Writing

On the 18th and 19th of March, Room 4 went on our annual Snr Bike ride. We rode the Rakauroa Road, the Koranga Valley Road, and the Te Wera Road. Then pitching tents and staying the night at a woolshed. (I will be doing some writing about the trip with more detail and information later!) 

 Afterwards, when we were back at School, we did some slow writing about or trip/journey. Here it is...

Enviro Project

Rm 4, Matawai School (My class room) is working on redeveloping our local BMX track is our big environment project for 2020. Our school is a green and gold enviro school, so we do little and BIG environment projects here and there. It is going to take a lot of work to redevelop but we can do it. We have got permission from our board of trustees and they think it's a good idea to continue. Our first step is putting cattle from a local farmer into the paddock to get the grass down.

I will try to update you with photos and information when we have done some more work on this project. Do you have a local bike track near you????

Brave Encounter

My family has been brave. Every member has faced something that needed courage and bravery to get through, for example my family has been brave with, vehicle accidents, braking bones, burns, animals,  internal injures, events like bungee jumping etc .... Today I am going to tell you about a time I had to be VERY brave! It was my 7th birthday and I got a new mountain bike, helmet & riding gear such as gloves, riding T-shirt's and cycling shorts. Dad, Mum & I decided to go for a mountain bike ride, we went on a skinny small cycling track we were riding along when my pedal got stuck on a big tree root, my bike tumbled side ways and I landed in a mine Shaft (which is a massive hole in the ground used in Australia to mine gold) Luckily there were logs across the top, so I only fell about 20m down. I ended up getting a very sore wrist so when we got home Mum & Dad strapped my left hand up. It was a very BRAVE day for me!
