London Olympics

2012 this year London is going to host the Olympics three times now which is pretty amazing. There is going to be returning champions who won medals at the beijing olympic. In beijing's olympic USA won the most medals. The first Olympic was hosted by Greece, Athens in 1908 which was the first ever Olympic. Three Olympic games were cancelled because of the World War I and II. As a athlete you have to set a goal and try to achieve it. London is a city that embraces the majesty of the old and the excitement of the new.

My favourite athlete is Michael Phelps who is an amazing swimmer, he has won 16 medals from some of the olympics. He represents USA. It must be hard to compete in the olympics  and play against adults and teenagers around the world. If I had to choose to be one of the athletes in the olympic I will pick Shawn Johnson (gymnastics), I don’t know why but I will love to be a gymnast.

I can’t wait until the olympics start, i will love to see how the New Zealand team are going.

Holiday Highlight

I thought to myself this was going to be a boring holiday because we weren't going to do anything. On Friday I woke up to a phone call that my teacher rang and asked if I was allowed to go to the GI Centre. I was so excited, cause I was going to see my friends. Next morning I got up so early to get change then I had to wait until it was 10:00 I couldn't wait much longer. I looked at the clock to see if it was time 10:00 it was time. My mum dropped me off but before I could go I had to see if any of my friends here I looked carefully but none of them were here. It was going on to 10:15 and I see arriving is my teacher Mrs Lagitupu  with her son Kingston. I kissed my mum goodbye, I walk inside looking for the ‘Art Section’ inside the art section I found ‘Brooklyn’ and her sister ‘Arianna’ painting and making faces, I join in with them.

It was nearly time for Brooklyn to leave but before she left her, Rita and I had to finish of the lollie lay we were making it was so long, and also get a balloon sword from the balloon artist it was cool. Then before we could go we had a feast Chocolate cake, mandarin and sandwiches. But when we off to go the Mai FM crew needed help putting their tent up so we helped them. After helping then they gave us some free stuff which was Wax, bread and lollies. It was so fun.

Best holiday highlight, it was so fun playing, drawing and also fighting with our sword balloons.

Valerie Adams

Valerie Kasanita Adams (formerly known as Valerie Vili), (born 6 October 1984) is a shot putter from New Zealand.
  • Valerie attended her first Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, just a month. In the qualifying rounds Valerie finished in ninth place, missing the cut for the final. One of the finalists later failed a drugs test, which brought Valerie into eighth place. Valerie's mum who was Tongan died from cancer when Valerie was 16 years old.
Kirsten Hellier said that Valerie was the perfect natural athlete for shot put because she is a amazingly competitive temperament, also strong and sucessful and the mental ability to perform well.

Buddies

When we go to visit my Grandpa in the cemetery we bring flowers or something else to show how much we miss him. We also bring some extras flowers for 'Graeme Edmund Oldham' who was buried next to my granddad. We don't know him but we thought it would be nice if we brought something for him to show how kind and generous we are. After a few years we called Mr Oldham one of my granddads friends. My granddad doesn't have a stone but some day he will soon. In this picture next to the tree is Graeme's stone then the next one is my granddads cross.
