Maraia - The brave Girl (so far)

This is my version of Sweet girl on Netflix. At the begging of writing this story I couldn't come up with anything and so I looked at some pictures and they reminded me of the movie "Sweet Girl"                          Oh and this is how much I have written  

The brave Girl

One day a there was a family of three The day was named Jay Mum named May and their daughters name was Raychel or Ray, and one day their mum was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer and the doctor said that there was no hope until a company named Biotech came a with a cure for cancer but when they ordered it Biotech took it off the market.

 The next day the news interviewed the owner or CEO of Biotech and asked why they took it off the market and they let some people called and give their opinions, Jay researched and found out that Biotech took it off the market for money, and so Jay called and said if that they better put the cure back on the market or Jay is going to kill him with his bare hands. .. May had left earth. 

Two years later Jay had been planning to kill the C.E.O of Biotech but then Jay received a phone call from an Unknown ID and he answered it and the unknown caller said that he had a way for Jay to get revenge on the C.E.O of Biotech Simon Keeley.

 

The Unknown man said to go down to the train station and to follow the guy with a furry denim jacket and so Jay followed him and then when the unknown person was showed him that he was a fraud then someone named Santos   stabbed him and then jay tried to fight back but Ray had followed him and the man took her a threw her to the doors of the trains and so Jay punch him in the face and stabbed him and then went to Ray but then the man got up and took the knife stabbed him and then pushed him through the window and then they both blacked out.

Two years later, Jay has been very serious about tracking Keeley's movements, and he notices that he is going to a very important party. Jay  finds the location, goes there and poses as a waiter to infiltrate BioPrime's charity event so he can find Keeley, ask him questions and then kill him. Once Jay finds him Keeley says he knows nothing and that the person who made them take it off the market is  BioPrime's chairman, Shamali Vin. After a fight that leaves one of Keeley's bodyguards dead and the rest brutally injured, Ray kills Keely by strangling him with a plastic bag, Then leaves knowing he is going to be hunted by many

Maraia - Swimming lessons Term 1

 Swimming lessons Term 1 

Last tuesday we started doing swimming lessons. I was very excited to go swimming because I don't go swimming a lot. On the next day I was freezing cold but after a few minutes the sun started to come back out. When we hopped onto the bus to go to the pools, we noticed that the bus smelt like quarine I don't like the smell of quarine. After the bus ride we walk inside and then a lady lead us to the pools and I was really cool there was a gym on the side, and if you keep on walking there was another gym. When we got there we changed into our swimming clothes then we waited for the other class to come out and change then we went into our lanes. When we got to our lane we had to sit on the wall and put our had on the side of us and twist into the pool to enter safely, then we just learnt backstroke and how to float on our back, then near the end we got to jump in the pool which is the best part 

The pools we went to was called Swim Magic I personally think it great, Here is a link - Link to Swim Magic Website

Maraia - Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go

 Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go 

Last week on Thursday TWP 4 and Mr gaffneys Yr 5s went sailing. For sailing we had to come to school in mufti with our swimming clothes underneath. When we got there we had to sit by the boat on the chairs then after a few minutes we were aloud to play or eat I decided to go and play banana split.

After a little while the Yr 5s got into the boats the Yr 6s had to go second, so while we where waiting our Teacher Mrs Nees Kirua took us to the beach. It was a minute walk or less but while we were walking my friend Aston hit my head so I chased him and slapped his head and we kept on doing that to each other until we got to the beach. When we got closer to the beach I ran ahead and we for the water, but we couldn't go in because we were still in our clothes so I rolled my pants up  because our teacher said we can only go up to our knees.

After a little while we went back to the dock and played games. Then the Yr 5s came back to shore and got changed into their normal clothes.

Later we went to get into out life jackets and then we had to go into the water. After a little while we had a race but I didn't know what to do to control the sail. Then an hour later one of the instuctours came on a speed boat and threw out plastic play balls and we had to get as many as we could, whenever me and Melenaite (my partner) saw a ball we went to it and I leaned over the boat and got the ball. Later on there were no more balls so we counted our and we got 18 the after a few seconds someones boat fell over then if started to get cold so I jumped in to water so I could get warm and then I saw the balls that fell out of the boat that got tipped over and I swan towards it a got some so we then had 21 balls.

We then we back to shore but when we went back to shore the same boat tipped over so we left them and another instructor called Holly came and helped them.

Then we all got change and went back to school.
