Toku Mahi na Jenna

My name's Jenna.   I'm ten years old.  I live in a wonderful country called New Zealand.  I have a Mum a Dad and a little bro.

My favourite thing to do is swimming.  I'm a competitive swimmer.  I get up twice a week at  5.45am and I go to the pools which are half an hour away.  We train for an hour and a fifteen minutes.  I love swimming!  I do heaps of competitions.

My other sports that I do are tap dancing, netball and touch rugby.

I have two best friends, Imogen and Leea.

So I'm a sports guru.  I'm good at English.  I have a credit in that subject.  I love being around my friends.  I also love Thai food mmmmm..... yummy.

WHAT AN EXCITING EVENING ON THE STAGE

On the stage there were bright lights shining in our eyes, we bowed and then walked off the stage while the crowd was clapping and cheering.  That is what all the kids did in the Riwaka School Extravaganza and some, like me, were on stage twice.  I did singing and gymnastics.  One of the funniest acts went wrong when Luca was on stage being a painter and Jessica an air hostess. Luca swung his paint brush and accidentally banged it into Jessica's head.  At the end of that performance everyboby clapped and cheered really loudly.  Back stage people were playing on ipod touches and some were sitting in front of the TV watching a movie.  I did not feel nervous because I've been on stage ten times now and the dance was easy to remember so I didn't have to worry about all the adrenalin.  On the stage or off the stage it was alot of fun !

Look, it's me!
Go me, go me, go me.

Rock on girls.

MY FABLE

ZAAZOO AND ZION, THE GAZELLES 

Two small gazelles needed to come up with a brilliant plan to stop the lion pride from attacking the herd.

“Why don’t we move to where the grass is lusher so the lions are more visible in the the bright green grass,” said Zion.

“Everybody knows that the lush green grass is over the other side of Killer River, the river filled with huge fresh water crocodiles.  If you want to face certain doom then sure!” said Zaazoo.

“Ok then, we need a different plan,” said Zion.

“It just isn’t fair we’re just sitting here waiting until it’s time for the lions to ambush again, and I’m positive another gazelle will be gone.  Life is a privilege out here.  You could be here today but you could be snatched away by the lions tomorrow,” said Zaazoo sadly.

“I’ve got it. We need to coat the lion in that sticky smelly mud.  We’ll smell her for miles.  It will give us heaps of time to hide or run,” said Zion.

“You can’t do that you’ll be eaten!” yelled Zaazoo.

Moral easier said than done.

My fable

One week we got to do what ever we wanted to do for our homework and I did a paper mache horse. Mrs Adams gave me a pass to the Zirka circus which I'm going to with some friends, my mum and  my brother.
