Life Round here:

Posted on October 18th, 2007 in Uncategorized by gareth7

Te Awamutu, New Zealand….its a quiet farming district placed in the centre of the north island next to the small city of
Hamilton. Although a lot of Te Awamutu is made up of farms it has many attributes that make it unique and special to all the people who live there. It is a very friendly environment full of sporting clubs and activities, rugby is one of the main sports in our district but people play other sports like: football, hockey and netball. The Waikato rugby team has many loyal supporters in Te Awamutu and are a very competitive side that compete in the domestic competition and the air
New Zealand cup. Te Awamutu has given itself the name of: The rose town of
New Zealand, this is because Te Awamutu has a large park called the war memorial park and it is full with roses. A few more of the activities in Te Awamutu include: The ASB events centre, the movie theatre, local shops and a few local sports parks. Te Awamutu is a great place to live even though the weather can be a bit unpredictable, but the bad weather doesn’t stop the locals from having a good time. Another good thing about Te Awamutu is that it has many great schools such as the one that I attend which is called: Te Awamutu Intermediate.

My Grandad:

My Grandad likes to sit in an old dusty rocking chair that squeaks every time it rocks, his feet will always be rested on a small wooden stool that has hasn’t been cleaned in years. His house is filled with old newspapers and half-done crosswords that he has not bothered to put in the rubbish. The living room of his house is full of clutter, old videos and books that he calls classics. Whenever I visit my grandad there will always be biscuits, tea and cakes to enjoy. My grandad spoils me with teats and gifts and he will take me to all the places I want to go. He wears boring clothes that would probably be labelled as old fashioned. I will always see an old green hat sitting on the top of his head to hide his wrinkles and he is always wearing long bare shirts to cover his worn arms. He has leather shoes that have been harshly shined and he wears long grey pants that are held up by a worn brown belt. My grandad has a kind personality, he will always have a smile on his face and he will always share some of the great stories that he has collected in his life. Whenever there is something wrong my grandad will know how to fix it and he will give me good advice. My grandad is a person that is respected by everyone he knows.

Grandparents:

 A grandparent’s wrinkles do not show age, but instead they represent a long and eventful life. No matter what, you will always see a broad smile on their tired old faces. Grandparents will always have exciting and funny stories to tell, they will spoil their children and grandchildren with gifts and treats. Their houses will be filled with clutter and treasures that they have collected over the years and they keep these things to remind themselves of good memories. When you visit a grandparent they will be extremely happy to see you and there will always be hot drinks and biscuits to enjoy. A grandparent knows exactly what is wrong with you and how to help you; they will talk to you and understand you. A grandparent is someone who will always give you good advice and they are people that you look up to.

Term Four Goals:

Posted on October 10th, 2007 in Uncategorized by gareth7

My first goal for this term is to participate in social dance enthusiastically and to listen to dance instructions thoughtfully.

My second goal for term four is to stay on task during maths work and not to distract others that are working around me.

Another one of my goals is to write blog posts on my blog more frequently so I can be a more active I.C.T learner.

My last goal is to keep my tote tray clean so I can easily access my books etc.
