A Moment In Time - Examples

WATERWISE CAPSIZE!

“Hiaiaiaa...ihaaaaaa...hiaiaiaia...iaihaaaa...” I breathed heavily. I shut my eyes and held my breath as the yellow optimist healed over backwards into the midst of the ocean.  “Bang!” My hard head connected to the rock solid opti.  

I hastily opened my eyes and, “YES!” I screamed with all my voice. I was inside the tight, squishy air pocket.  It seemed pitch black at first then my eyes got used to the darkness, when I screamed, “HI!” and then slapped the boat.   

“Slap, Slap, Slap,” and in return,  “Tap, Tap, Tap”. 

They opened the opti to the light as I swam out. “I made it!” Those words came out of my mouth before I knew it.  I climbed on to the bottom of the opti (which was now on the top) and I pulled on the centre boar. The boat came speedily up right and I had to bail a truck load of water outof the opti and back into the ripply ocean.  It was finally all out so I jumped out and played the ball games.

By Peter, aged 10.

RUGBY

As I run down the left wing of the pitch, salty sweat runs down my face. The grass tickles my ankles. Only two huge boys stand between me and the glorious tryline.

I get nervous as I keep running. I sidestep the first boy but he holds tightly onto my shirt. The second one grabs my waist and drops me heavily onto the ground. My shoulder is the first thing that hits the hard, solid ground, then painfully my body follows it down.

Sadly, my coach takes me off for the rest of the game.

Aue te Aroha

Aue te aroha i ahau, aue
Aue e te iwi e.
E te iwi Māori¹ puritia kia mau,
Utaina ki runga i te waka o te ora²
Ka hoe ai ki te tauranga³.

Ko te kupu a te Kaiwhakaora,
A Hehu tino aroha
Wetewetekia atu ngā ururua⁴ 
E te hunga e mamae ana
Ka aru mai ai i ahau.

E te iwi whakarongo ake ra,
Ki te reo e karanga mai nei
Whaia kia mau te kotahitanga⁵
He mea paihere na te rangimarie⁶
Kia mau ai te Rongopai.
