Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

 

Every year, our school goes to Wahiawa to compete in a track meet against Our Savior Lutheran, Saint Mark, and Trinity Lutheran. We get to pick or events which are either 40-yard dash, 60-yard dash, 80-yard dash, 100-meter run, 200-meter run, 400-meter run, 800-meter run, Relay races (boys, girls, Co-Ed). The Field Events are Shuttle Run, Ladder Ball, Corn Hole, Standing Long Jump, Running Long Jump, Football throw, Softball throw, and Hurdles.

 

 

 

This year I did the 200-meter run, Co-Ed Relay race, Hurdles, Standing Long Jump, and the Shuttle Run. Usually, I do the 100-meter run, Co-Ed Relay race, Hurdles, Running Long Jump, and Ladderball, but this year, I changed it, so I could get a good experience. Our track meets are really fun because you can have a fun time with the other school and competing against your friends. Our track meets are different from other ones, we have grades 5-8 grade competing and in different states, they have it in high school.

 

So far, every track meet that I’ve been to, it eventually rains and then stops after like 3 minutes. It’s usually a hot day, but it can also be cool. We have to drink lots of water because of how hot it is. Somehow, every year, a tent goes over the bleachers. We get to bring a small snack because we are at the track meet for about 3-4 hours, so we get hungry after a while.

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

We just went on our Opihi Field Trip. This field trip was basically about identifying different algae in certain groups. My group was hmsleilani and hmskylen. There were 3 jobs: Data Collector, Data Reciever, and Wave Watcher. Since the Data Collector had to touch the algae, hmleilani didn’t want to touch the algae, so hmskylen and hmsleilani had to switch jobs.

We were in knee deep water, so hmsleilani was very cautious but she ended up holding on to me while we were walking. Some 8th graders went with us, hmstayne was our photographer. She tried helping us but she got in trouble for helping us so we were on our own. Since we were on our own, we had to follow the procedures that we learned in class.

The field trip was an adventure. We had to be careful about certain things like sea urchins and sea cucumbers while we were trying to identify certain types of algae. We didn’t see any of the dangerous animals except for Wana which is a sea urchin. We used transect lines and quadrant covers. We found different types of algae along the transect line or the quadrant covers.

Our field trip was really fun!

Hi guys, it’s hmsmarim,

I’m going to talk about my weekend. My weekend was pretty great.

Saturday

On Saturday, I went to a dancing class at 10:00-11:00. We did the normal dances we normally do and we also learned more of a new dance we are learning. After dance class, I had a birthday party to go to. It was my classmate’s birthday party and we had a lot of fun. The people who don’t go to our school anymore went to the birthday party. We had dinner and played Basketball and Volleyball.

 

Sunday

 

On Sunday, hmsjojo, hmsleilani, hmsjenny, and hmsshayann and I went to the movies together. We saw Five Feet Apart. All of us cried or teared up because the movie was really sad. At the movies, we had popcorn with many different things. After, we went home and enjoyed the rest of our evening.

 

That’s it for today!

Those words explain some of my classmates depending on how long their names are. Those words are the ones that I picked but there are many more words that explain them. For certain reasons, I chose those words. Those are the words that I think of them, and none of them are negative.

My friends mean the world to me. My friends are very supportive. We help each other with work we may not understand. I wouldn’t take anything for granted if it wasn’t for them. There are many more things that I really like about my friends. I think that everyone should have at least two good friend =s that you can rely on.

That’s it for today!
