Stan Walker Concert by Paris

I felt butterflies deep within me as Bree,Brooklyn,Mum, Abbey and I excitedly hurried into boys college! We all couldn’t believe that we were actually here! We scampered into our seats and waited for about 15 minutes, then a deep voice welcomed Whenua Patuwai to the stage, there were screams coming from everyone! We stood up on our seats so we could see! We yelled, “YEAH STAN!!!” As he sung his opening song Black Box! People were staring at us like we were CRAZY but we are definitely not crazy! Haha! About half way through the concert all the kids went and bought a cap that had SW on it. The lady who gave it to us said that after the concert we could have Stan Walkers autograph!!! We ran back to our seats, Just as we got there Stan was singing my FAVOURITE song of the night Bullet Proof! As soon as Stan said that he was singing his last song we all leapt out of our seats and ran in a mad dash to the small line to get Stan Walkers autograph! But suddenly he stared to sing Take It Easy! At first we were very confused then we saw Taylor and her friends so we had our own mini party because we didn’t want to lose our spots! Finally we got his autograph and a picture with him and headed off home! We had an AWESOME time I really hope he comes back to Nelson soon!!!

James' Rep Tournament

“Come on boys lets win this match!” I said as we jogged out onto the pitch. I realised just how hard this match was going to be. I jogged over to my starting position and waited for kick off. A short sharp burst from the refs whistle signaled the start of play and another burst 40 minutes later ended our first match. Even though we had lost 4 - 0 we had all thoroughly enjoyed it and were looking forward to our next match. Sadly half way through our second match a kid from Canterbury red gave me a painful ankle injury. Luckily we had no more matches on that day. The next day we had a match against Nelson white which we lost 5 - 2 and another match against mid Canterbury. We all really wanted to win this match and thats what we did. We had a great start and put 2 balls in the back of the net. In the second half we only got better putting 4 more balls in the back of the net. The next day we had one last game against Malborough blue which was a 15th and 16th play off. we jogged out onto the field and waited for kickoff. As soon as the whistle blew we sprinted our hearts out and managed to gain a 4 - 0 lead at half time. In the second half we did really well and scored another 3 goals which left the score at 7 - 0. So we finished on a high and ended up getting 15th out of 20 I think. I was so happy the way I played and even though we did not do very well I was still really happy! So thats how reps went.
