Week 7 - The struggles by Abby

My stomach lurched as the test paper was laid out in front of me; I widened my eyes as the questions looked like they were gibberish. I looked around trying to read other students expressions; but their faces were stiff, either they knew this, or they didn’t. My hands were shaking, I didn’t have any idea what to do. Picking up my pencil I read the questions carefully; trying to answer them, but it wasn’t working very well. After a few minutes; I handed my sheet in, I hope my brain has worked.

The next day our results came; I got an average, and I thought “well what a start.”

I was winning my 100 metre race in the olympics against Usain Bolt, but I turned to see him beside me and I thought “well what a start” ,there was 75 metres to go and we were neck and neck for a lot of it till the 25 metre mark when he just bolted straight past me at pace I will never reach even in my dreams and he won the race by 3 seconds faster than anyone else but at the end he said that it was the hardest race he had ever ran.  

Week 7 - the big race by Jasmine

3,2,1 go the clappers went and I began to ran. I was was in the school cross country and had been training since the start of the year and now it was july. As I jumped over a creek I thought to myself I might actually have a chance of winning this year because there was nobody in sight so I must be at the front. I whizzed round corners and jumped over little creeks but finally I sore the finish line and I couldn't see any other people from my race as I sprinted to the finish everyone was clapping and cheering, the lady gave me a block with the number 1 on it I was so happy I had actually come first for once.

Week 7 - the Journey by Danny

I was anxious, My parents, one of my younger brothers and I were sitting in the domestic terminal of JFK airport in New York, while my 6 year old brother, Will was playing in the gaming arcade.

“All passengers on flight 168 to London please make your way to gate 7”.

” Will” Mum called out, “ It's time to board the airplane”. Will was scared slightly, while his brother Josh had been on one for a school trip, Will had never set foot inside an airplane.

Will was just getting used to the plane when the speakers crackled to life.

“Sorry to bother any passengers but we have just had a bomb warning and we will need to search all passengers and their luggage,  and I thought,”well what a start”.

Week 7 - A New Place by Sophia

I was feeling anxious being so high in the sky. I had never flown on an airplane before and my first time was to move to a different country. I had lived in New Zealand my whole life, but my mum got a job in America, so I was on my way across the globe. I mean sure it's sad leaving school and all but it isn't that bad because I didn't really have many friends. Once we reached the airport I was rushed to and fro. I fell to the ground and smashed my face onto the cold concrete floor and broke my nose. I thought to myself “what a start”.

Week 7 - A Bad Start by Zoe

Whilst in our primary schooling years  the thought of beginning intermediate school is sometimes overbearing, although for most of us, we remember the time fondly and look back on the time when it just all seemed like a big adventure.  For me coming back as a teacher nothing much changed.

After the first bell had rung I watched students gradually filtre into the  room.  As they began to take their seats, I sensed a strange mood in the atmosphere.  I gazed around the room, every child was glued to their cell phone only occasionally glancing up at the slightest noise.  I just sighed and I thought “ well what a start”.

Week 7 - First Job by Charlotte

As I walk into the office building I am politely greeted by the doorman who shows me to the main office where I will be getting interviewed for a job I have applied for. Beauty and makeup is what I am applying for. When I enter the room I see a stiff looking lady sitting wide eyed in a black leather chair behind a timber desk. I sit down on the stool in front of the desk and the interview begins. When I leave the building I am bursting with happiness because I got my first job in the makeup department! And I thought “well what a start”....

Week 7 - Who are you? by Ruby

She glared at me from across the hall as I searched for my friends.They were sitting down in the fourth row.  As I made  my way down the aisle I could feel her eyes burning into the back of my neck. I expected her to do this, especially after what I did to her. When I finally made my way to the fourth row my once laughing friends were dead silent staring up at me, as if I was an alien. Cautiously I sat down next to them. “H-Hey guys wh-what’s up” I stuttered nervously not daring to look them in the eyes. They had all heard about what happened, the whole neighbourhood heard. “Who are you?” Joe asked a deadly look on his face. I sunk in my seat and looked over to the stage and thought “Well what a start.”

I was at the athletics game were Usain Bolt was racing, everyone's saying that he’s too old to race.

They were lining up for the finals,1st=Gold 2nd=Silver 3rd=Bronze. The race was seconds away from starting, the crowd went silent…

Week 7 - Guy Forks Day by Lucy

It was Guy Forks day, it was one of my favourite days of the year and Now it’s not. It started with a big bang, then a burst of colours and I thought wow, what a start. I ran down to the lawn and danced around. My parents yelled “don’t get too close”. I nodded and carried on. The fireworks were amazing. I looked up to the sky and a spark flew down and burnt my face. I bursted into tears. It stung like a billion bee stings. Now all that’s left of it is scars and bad memories.

Week 7 - The Art work by Ryan B

Andrey Fielding had just sat down, ready to make an artwork. He had all his equipment ready, his pencils and pens, his paints and paintbrushes, and his pastels. But just as he had started painting, a bird flew through his window and knocked over his paint tins! They splashed all over his work! Luckily for Andrey, it looked beautiful. Andrey thought ‘well what  a start…’

Andrey then went on to complete his masterpiece, and a masterpiece it truly was. He won seven awards for it, and auctioned it off for $750,000.

But he never forgot that bird.

Week 7 - Bad day by Michaela

                                     

I made my way through the crowded halls, it was my first day at a new school and I was surrounded  by unrecognizable people. Some people ran past to get to their class. As they were running past they shoved me into a teacher coming out of the staff room, and I thought “well... What a start.” Walking to class looking like a scared rabbit I just happened to walk into the wrong one. Everyone laughed as I walked out red and embarrassed. I dropped my books, walked into the wrong class again and walked into another couple of teachers. Could this day get any worse?!

Week 7 - the art picture Scarlett

I sat on the couch with the sun shining on me wondering what to do. And then I said aloud, I can draw a picture. So I grabbed my pencils and my paper and started to draw. I decided to draw 3D picture of a modern city with some palm trees on the outskirts of the road. Some buildings were tall and some were small. After I had done the pencil out line I decided to add some colour. I was supposed to grab the black but I grabbed the navy blue instead. I thought to myself well that's a start…

Week 7- First Day Of School by Amber T

I wake up and realise that it’s my first day of school. I roll out of bed and get dressed. I head down the stairs, not excited at all. I didn’t want to move but we had to because of dads new job. “Morning sweetie, excited for school?”, asks mum. I roll my eyes and she gets the hint. I head out the door. I arrive at school and I bump straight into someone. I go to help them up and just my luck it turns out to be a popular kid. “Watch where you’re going freak”, she shouts then storms off. And I thought “well what a start”...

I was in the final for the 2000m NZ athletics final for U13.  I was one of 15 competitors.  I was waiting for the guy with the pistol to start us off.  Then I started to look at my competitors.  Then the guy suddenly shot the pistol and caught me unaware. I was behind the field by around 60 meters. I ran as fast as I could. I thought “well what a start”. I managed to catch up to the second to last guy.  After 1km I was slowly getting up the field until I was 9. I still had 1 km to go...
