SENIOR SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

RUGBY WORLD CUP FEVER -OPENING DAY WRITING

RWC –Flags Flying High

Can you imagine being part of history? The All Blacks can because they want to win it! Sitting in between  59, 999 people is a lot! We will beat Tonga!

Twenty different countries flags have risen everywhere in New Zealand. Everyone is going mad about the RWC. Everyone is excited and wants to go to each game live!

My favourite team in the Rugby World Cup Is The All Blacks or Wallabies. My favourite All Black is Sonny Bill Williams, who is supposed to be called Sonny William Williams. My favourite Wallaby is Quade Cooper, the Australian kicker.

Tonight there will be the opening ceremony at Eden Park with Dave Dobbyn, Black Eyed Peas and others for the fanzone.  

See you there folks!

RWC

The Rugby World Cup has started! After months of waiting the biggest sporting event has begun.

This is the 2^nd RWC in New Zealand since 1987.  Now everyone is going rugby crazy!

There are black flags everywhere, fireworks going off and everyone’s dressed in black. Tonight the kick-off is starting. There will be singing, fireworks, and of course lots and lots of rugby!

Visitors from around the globe are swarming over to New Zealand to watch the big game! The stadium is massive. About 57 times bigger than a 3-storey house with a giant backyard!

But who cares about these facts, because I’m going to grab a rugby ball, paint my face black and watch Richie McCaw score the winning try!

GO THE ALL BLACKS!

RWC 2011

The waiting will be over today! It’s the day that the Rugby World Cup arrives to Eden Park.

The Rugby World Cup game is going to be wild because it’s part of the history of life. There will be almost 1,000,000 people watching the Rugby World Cup.

I am thinking how will the RWC start? Like maybe some fireworks coming out, or maybe songs coming out of the speakers; like 'World in Union' or 'Right Here Right Now' or even the Flower of Scotland!

The people that I see are all dressed in black shirts or black faces. The first game will be held at Eden Park at 8.30pm.

The RWC Starts

Today is history repeating itself because today is the start of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. The whole country is supporting its one team, the All Blacks, yeah!

At school everyone is dressed in black to support the All Blacks. Mr Mac and the boys did a flash mob Haka in front of the staffroom.

The Rugby World Cup  started in 1987. It’s now 2011, so that’s 24 years of rugby, but really the RWC only happens every four years.

By Ashley

Rugby World Cup 2011

The Haka has begun around the country. It’s here, right now, the waiting is all over!

Everywhere I look is black. Fireworks are going off.

Dressed in black ready for the start. Dan Carter kicks….it’s a goal! The crowd goes wild.

At my school, Friday the 9^th September the Rugby World Cup start has meant we all dressed in black –Black out day!

CREATIVE WRITING WEEKS 4 AND 5

We have been learning to show, not tell in our writing. This means we use lots of description to create an interesting picture in our audiences head. Please read and leave a comment.

Who am I ?

I am alone, no one to talk to apart from myself. No one to look at apart from myself. I have been hurt by the cold damp wind.

God is talking to me and telling me to stick up for myself but I can’t do it, I just can’t! I can hear nothing, see nothing or feel nothing, I am cold where is my jumper and trousers.

 I have been around from the year  after the earth was formed. The moonlight is shining above me and I am scared, scared that the bullies will come.

Please help me, I want to get out of here quickly before the bullies come back. What’s this, I’m stuck, stuck in the ground. I can’t move ahhhhhhhhhh!

By Gemma 

Who Am I?

I’m standing here in the cold breeze. The wind whistling through my white hair. As I stand tall and strong I wonder when the cold winter will be over. I grow older and older, bigger and bigger. Life is great around here. I have all the food I want and all the water I can drink.

The springtime is coming while the lake has no more ice skaters. It is getting quiet and lonely, but then I remember I won’t be alone. I will have all the birds. Ahhhhhhh, what a lovely life I have. Can you guess what I am?

By Emma

What Am I?....

One early morning, I wake up in a winter wonderland all alone. I stretch out my frosty fingers.

I am covered with a white cold icy blanket of snow.

It is Christmas but no one was there.

Rocks nearby are frozen solid.

I am leaning so close to the water I am about to fall!

The water shows half of my reflection.

Little drops of snow come falling down; it is so cold in the North Pole. Santa won’t come by.

What am I?

By Catherine

Who Am I Today ?

It’s a blue cold winters morning. Its smell so fresh as I wake up. I’m listening to the birds sing they’re all around me.

I’m standing with my arms out .You can see my frosty fingers blowing all around.

Icing sugar cubes are down below me, as hard as a rock being thrown into the sea. There’s a lake so hard people can ice sake along it. I hear people talk but they only hear a whisper from me. Snowflakes drop from above.
