Month: October 2022

Do you know what halloween is? And who invented this celebration? Well it‘s a day that we celebrate and wear creepy costumes. At night we go trick or treating, trick or treating is when you go to someone’s house or your neighbourhood to get candy.

Halloween is a day that people celebrate well. Some people can’t celebrate halloween because of their religion and it is a holiday that we can spend the time basically on candy.  On Halloween we also decorated our houses to make it scary.

The Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain   a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”, a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

People should prepare a lot of candy at home because at Halloween night kids go to knock at peoples door and get candy that’s just trick or treating. People celebrate Halloween at night. It is a scary celebration out of all the other celebrations.

You need to wear spooky or creepy costumes outside during Halloween evenings like skeletons, clown, witch, ghost and more.  If Halloween is tomorrow what would you wear for trick or treating?

Yesterday was the Athletics day, it was the best athletics day ever. There were so many events that you could think of. There was the 400 meter run, 100 meter sprint, 200 meter run, 800 meter run, there was also dicus, shot put, high jump, long jump and the house relay.

First of all was the 400 meter run. I have to miss out on an event for the 400 meter one and it is the high jump. We all got settled and got ready to run in our position as soon as the judge said that your marks get set BANG!! We all run. My friend and I were tired at the end so we walked to the finish line and both came last.

Secondly was the 100 meter sprint as the teachers called our name and gave us a number we were all ready to sprint. Suddenly the BANG went on. We were all sprinting on our life in the first place but I didn’t make it. I came 5th. Well, it’s not that bad to me.

The last run for me was the 200 meter run I didn’t do well on that one but after the race I went and bought myself a fizzy drink and a bottle of water I went to the spectator seat and sat down with my friends we talked for a bit and went down to cheer other people for their own races.

I finally finished all my races so I was chilling with my friends and got some juices. We were just cheering for people the rest of the day. The year 7&8 were so fast just like lightning it was the best athletics day in my history. At the end the house Kowhai won the 2022 athletics congratulations to them.
