WINNER'S GO TO THE AUCKLAND CHAMP'S

TRIPLE WOW!!!!!!!!

On Sunday the 22nd of March it was the Soap Box Derby challenge.
(WHOEVER WIN'S GOES TO THE AUCKLAND CHAMPS!)

I got so excited as if I was a Millionaire!


I arrived at Morrin road in Mt Wellington at 8:30am. The first race of the day was at
9:30 CHURR HOO. At 8 o clock Mr Burt our principal came to Morrin
Road with Point England School's CAR.
It was NICE and SHINY, mostly RED, and at the back it was
BLACK. We were mostly supported by KORKOR, a company that makes two way digital radios.

BAM!!!!! 9:30 went past with a scream in my ear.
Up first was
CHURCHILL PARK SCHOOL VS PARNELL DISTRICT SCHOOL. Off they went down the steep hill, then up a 300 metre hill. 5 seconds away from the finish line
with CHURCHILL PARK UP IN FRONT. OH NO!
CHURCHILL PARK BREAKED BEFORE THE FINISH LINE! which lead's PARNELL up in front, past the finish line, and brake as CHURCHILL PARK moved slowly across the finish line.

WHAT A BAD START TO THE DAY FOR CHURCHILL PARK.

Next race was POINT ENGLAND VS SACRED HEART AND I WAS ON THE
LEFT LANE. The pit crew brought out the car on the ramp and down I went straight down like a soaring sword and past the finish line.

IN FIRST PLACE IS POINT ENGLAND WITH THE
FASTEST TIME OF THE DAY!
When all the rounds were finished, we had won all our races.

After that was round 2 our quarter final's.

For the next race
it was POINT ENGLAND VS BAILEY ROAD.

"GO!! "
Said the man and off we went
down the hill "and Jacob is taking the lead for point England school"
(that's me). Down I went and "POINT ENGLAND IS WINNING BY 7
SECONDS.... 6, 5, 4....... AND THE WINNER IS JACOB!"
I WON BY 4 SECONDS WITH THE BEST RECORD TIME of 33.221. SO OFF I GO NOW TO GET READY FOR THE GRAND FINAL'S

WISH ME LUCK POINT ENGLAND

As I got up, the car was already loaded up and so I got in. Down I went vs Sacred Heart for the Grand Final's.

SO WE WON! NORTH SHORE HERE WE COME WITH 4 TROPHY'S!

2009 SOAP BOX DERBY RACING!!

At 6.30 am I woke up for my PRACTISE. I took my bag and lunch box and off
I went to school to get ready for Mr Jacobsen.

When I got to school I wore my uniform with pride. I waited for the rest of our crew to arrive to go to the race and win the prize.
Mr Burt came with his beautiful truck and the pit crew ran to the shed to get the car ready to load and get tied up on the truck.

As the car got loaded on to the truck we set off to the netball courts down in Mount Wellington avenue. We got there and there were lots of schools there: there was Sacred Heart College, Bailey Road, Parnell, and King's Prep.

We got ready to race and off they went down the hill
past the lights and "BRAKE" the man said. So they all braked and in first place was King's Prep and then my school and then Parnell and last place was Sacred Heart.

As the next race started it was me racing and as I went down the hill in third place Bailey Road nearly CRASHED so
he stopped and I over took him and Parnell school and I came first.

TV ONE CAME TO OUR SCHOOL

One day on Tuesday we were writing our recount about the weekend,
then a man with a big camera came into our class room and asked if he could video us so we could be on channel one. As they were filming they picked Leoden to be the teacher and to interview us
on the computer's. When Leoden was introducing us he was a very confident speaker and was amazing at interviewing. As he came to introduce me I was On my Blog Writing about the American police and our class was so quiet that there was no sound and it was only me and Leoden speaking.

As they were videoing me writing on my blog, they were asking me question's about how I type all the word's and type all of the story about my recount. We watched ourselves on Channel One on Friday last week. It was so cool and I was embarrassed when my family saw me on T.V.
