Kiwi Sport Football

Football, also known as Soccer, is a sport where 11 players, strive to shoot a soccer ball into a goal.  Only one person is there to either catch the soccer ball or block them from shooting.

Football is a very common sport in all areas around the world, but its mostly played in some Europe countries, such as England, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, Switzerland, Argentina, and many more.

While playing football the gear that will need, are jerseys or t-shirts, shorts, socks, shin pads, and soccer boots also gloves for goalies only to protect their hands while going for the ball, when its been kicked.

An football field is about about 100–110 m, long and 64–73 m wide

Rules of football, are to never touch the ball with your hands, the only player thats allowed to to touch the ball with their hands is the goalie. On the field there are only allowed 11 players. If the ball has been scored, or the match has just started, its halftime,  and if there's extra-time kick off is the way to start it all. During a football game its been played for about 90 minutes, for each halve its 45 minutes. There are two halves in the game of soccer.

Temple Visit *o*



Temple :)




Every once a year some members of an lds church get a chance to either visit the temple or get baptised for the dead at the temple in Hamilton. On the 19th of July some members from my lds church left home about 9:30 and was in the bus about 10:00.


During the whole bus ride to Hamilton, I plugged in my earphones relaxed on my chair and day dream ed outside the window. Throw out the whole ride I was relaxed, but also very exciting about what I was going to for those who are passed.

Later that morning, the bus arrived in Hamilton, in the afternoon about 12:50. While driving up the Temple view already you could get the perfect view of the Temple. As heads come of shoulders and peak up to see the top of the Temple from inside the bus, we enter the gate to the Graceful Temple.


The bus pulled up on the side of the parking, then everybody grabbed their cameras, iphones, and other devices to take photos of the temple. No camera’s, devices or food was allowed in the temple, it was that special that you’d have to whisper to people that are right next to you. Not just long ago it was our ward’s turn to enter the temple for our baptism.


Members of our ward (Mt Wellington) waited in a small waiting room, in the temple while the leaders, and adults, get dressed. Our Bishop, called out a roll and asked us to line up after been called. Workers of the temple leaded us, young women down stairs to grab our baptism clothes, then get changed and wait quietly in front of the baptism window. Meanwhile waiting for the girls to get dressed and start the ceremony together.

After one another, baptism it was my turn to make my family proud and get baptised for my aunty's that are needing me. I drag myself into the water, and hold the hand of Andrew (person baptising me). As Andrew raise his hand and start the speaking, and I started to shiver and feel tears of happiness running down my checks. I had to get baptised three times for each person. Later I walk up the stairs out of the water and sat on a chair to get blessed, I walked out and walking up the stairs I could hear little voices whispering " Thank you my precious niece I love you with all my heart". As soon as I heard the whispering, I knew straight away it was my dearly aunty's thanking me for the baptism for them.

AFL

AFL
As a class last term we’ve been taking AFL sessions with a professional, named Tim. Every Wednesday mornings at 9:20, we head off to the hall to learn the skills, and techniques  of how to play a game of AFL.  

Meanwhile, Tim introduces himself then starts a warm up by telling us to run around the hall, it was cold that morning so running around the hall kept us warm.

Later Tim explained the importance, skills, rules, also techniques of how to play or what to do while in an AFL. AFL is very popular in Australia also the standing of AFL is Australian Football league. While playing in an AFL game you pass different, kick different, and also start different. AFL is an mix of rugby league, and football.

We learnt how to:
Passing: When passing in a AFL, you do a handball, by handballing you place the football in the palm of your hand then, hold a fist up then slightly lower it and move back so you could, hit the football by placing your fist in the palm of your hand where the football was at first. Before handballing the ball aim first to the player you are handballing to.

Kicking: While kicking in an afl game when holding the ball about to kick you’ll see laces just on the side of the football As people say laces away from faces, which means face the laces outwards. At the bottom of the ball where the lines from the side come down under the ball connecting, some call it the x, well while handling the football you’ll have to face the two x the top x also the bottom x we’ll have to face different ways. Bottom x: We’ll be facing the group or the field. Top x: we’ll be either facing just above your head, or will be faced at you. Then ready to kick you’ll have to  aim the top of your boot to the bottom x of the football.
 



Well, I hoped you have learn or taken something away from my explanation and used it, like really please do (*joking*). Just to let you aussie viewers know but Afl is one of my 3rd favorite sport, also my favourite afl player is Trent Cotchin. THANKS YOU TIM, WE LEARN’T FROM THE BEST.

Rugby Girls


...GOOD WORK GIRL :) BE PROUD ...



Even though we lost with pride but still, won in our hearts. Us year7 and 8's rugby girls had a lot of fun tackling, scoring tries and also representing our school. About 8:30 in the morning, twenty-two talented girls got a chance to play in the rugby girls semi finals, at College Rifles.

At first we unpacked our package in this small room where everybody else put their package. Us rugby girls slipped on our Rugby boots, then shoved our mouthgurds on, and jogged out on the field.

After having a little warm up, and refreshing of how we'll gonna play. We realised that we were versing, Kelston intermediate girls, even though we were the smallest girls there, at least we played hard, and give it all our best.

Kelston girls, we're very challenging to play against, but at the end we lost by 1-5. After our first game, against Kelston girls, we showed our sportsmanship, then took a knee to where the parents were and started stretching with me leading them. Our girls had our first 15 minuet break. Each of us patted our backs, gave each other encouragements, and gave out feedback.

After a reflection from our first game we took our mistakes and improved them in our next game, against the talented Green Meadow school. after scoring 3 try's we lost against Green Meadow, 3-5. We did our cheer, lined up and shook hands of Green Meadow players.

Later, after our second game we had a buy for about half and hour. During that hour we had something to eat and secondly ran on the field to talk about our highlights, what we need to work on, also concentrate on the game and techniques.

Our last game was against a school from out north, and with a help from me and the other talented girls we won our last game. Which was exciting, even though we were the smallest girls we won our last game, just to keep us happy and to finish off properly.

Once again I would like to again say a big THANK YOU! to Miss Va'afusuaga for coaching us girls also making us year 8's happy for our last year. Also THANK YOU  to Mum, Auntie, and cousins, also my niece for your support, I appreciate it . Love you's all :)

Talking Angela Writin Explanation

 ….ALERT ALERT ALERT... 

Not just long ago mothers around the world knew and found out  another way how to protect their children, while my Mum was scrolling down her facebook page, she quickly spotted, a guardian page, where you can find new, and alerting information of what's happening around the world.
When she quickly spotted the post, the title was Talking Angela, Talking Angela is an app, its a game that most children around 3-9 ages play on touch screen devices. The app Talking Angela is more of an touch screen game, where you can either type to chatt,
When playing Talking Angela, Angela (the cat) asks specific questions based on one theme like, whats your name?, how old are you?, what school do you attend. Specific questions lead to dangerous things, especially when your talking to someone that you don't even know.
After skimming and scanning the post about Talking Angela, my Mum quickly asked me and my brothers about what they know about the app Talking Angela, and have they played it?. They responded back saying "yes" they have played the app, at my Cousins house. Afters a few days me and my family visited my Aunty's house to warn them about the app.
So if you are an parent, or is an uncle or aunty that has niece's or nephews and are technology freaks then please for your own safety, alert, warn, or gossip about the app, or any other app thats simalar to this app "Talking Angela".

Badminton Session :)

Badminton 1st Session :)
As we walk into the hall to start our first Badminton session. We first played a game of stuck in the mud, just for a warm up. At first our Badminton coach named Bobby, introduced himself to the class before we even started. Bobby was only gonna be here for 4 weeks to coach us.

Mainly half of the class have played Badminton, also me. By starting off our first Badminton session, we had three
rounds of stuck in the mud for a warm up.


As time runs out, Bobby gives the class advice and lessons of how to hold a badminton racket. Which are forehand and backhand. Forehand is a  grip that is used to hit shots that are on the forehand side of your body and around the head shots. Backhand grip is used to hit shots that are on the backhand side of your body.

Then after every single student goes and gives it a try, some fail at first but. As you still practise and practise many times it will somehow turn into success. To finish off our session we have a one on one compertition to see how long you can go with out stopping or dropping.

Then after having a little fun to finish off, we finished it off properly by saying a big thank you to bobby for teaching us the importance during badminton, and also looking forward for next week.

What I discovered in Sound Between Low and High :)


Experiments with High and Low Pitches


Yesterday during inquiry times our class got onto sites that were compared to sound, what we did with these sound wave sites was, we had to match the sound wave with the other. And also see what changes the Guitar, Pipes, and drum to either go high or low.



Drum: What I've had experienced using the drums was that, by tightening the main part of the drum where you tap, has a high pitch also known as high sound. Also I learnt by loosening the main part of the drum, and tapping it, turns to a low pitch. Why does is it like that? well
Pipes: Experimenting with pipes were very interesting, because what I learnt was, that it wasn't depending on how wide it is but it is mainly depending on the length. Using Pipes was confusing but actually easy, during the game I had to click on all pipes then see if they all had the same pitch as the other, but one thing was that they were all the same length but different wighth but still sound the same. So having different lehths of pipes is what changes the pitch when you blow through it.
Guitar: On the guitar, I learnt that the thinner the string, the high the pitch is when you strum it. Also the thicker the string is, the low the pitch is. Mainly when you strum a guitar all threads sound different, that's because all threads are different sizes.
Using all Sound Wave sites helped me learnt a lot about sound.

 If you want to try the game just click on Sound . try it out it's really helpful :).

Serenity's Scientific Investigation Process

The Scientific Investigation Process


Step 1: Question - A statement that requires an answer, about what you are going to answer, needs to be something about what you can measure. Also pacifically starts with what when where and why .


Step 2: Research- use resources such as books and the Internet to perform background research on your question. Gathering information now will help prepare you for the next step in the Scientific Method.


Step 3: Hypothesis - Using your background research and current knowledge, make a guess that answers your question. Your hypothesis should be simple statement that expresses what you think happen.


Step 4: Experiment - Plan your procedure and conduct an experiment that tests your hypothesis. The experiment should be a fair test that changes only on variable at a time while keeping everything else the same. Repeat the experiment a number of times to ensure your original results weren’t an accident. Always do a fair test when you are experimenting. Variable is when experiments are different.


Step 5: Data - Collect data and record the progress of your experiment. Document your results with detailed measurements, descriptions and observations in the form of notes,  journal entries, photo, charts and graphs.


Step 6: Observation -  Describe the observation you made during your experiments. Include information that could have affected your results.
Step 7 : Conclusion - Analyse the data you collected and summarise your results in written form. use the information to answer your question, Do the results support your hypothesis.

Last step (Step 8)  Communication - Present your findings.

Immersion Assembly

Immersion Assembly


Saying ‘Hi’ to everybody and asking how was their holidays? I was Amazed to be back to school. After the morning bell rang, students headed off to their classes to start off Term 2.


This morning we had an amazing Immersion Assembly, inside the hall there were duct taped helium balloons on the walkway and also on the stage. Looking around the hall, where the decorations and outfits were all relating to the theme for term 2.


As we got told from Mr Burt saying, that the topic for this term is “I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT”. After Mr Burt’s talk, every team gets to show what they will be learning about this term. For term 2 every team gets an topic that relates to Science.


As Mr Burt said that this Term its mainly about things that relate about science, so then Mr Burt had a few balloons tied up to his stuffed yellow taxi-cab, and asked how many balloons does it take for his stuffed yellow taxi-cab to go up into the air, at first there was 14 helium balloons, but then we added two more balloons to Mr Burt's yellow taxi-cab, then as Levi Samuels lets go of it, the yellow taxi-cab got stuck on the ceiling of the hall.


Team 1’s Topic is going to the Zoo tomorrow and learning the environment of animals. Team 2’s topic is about Flights and mainly Gravity. Team 3’s topic for term 2 is about colours, how and why rainbows are formed. Team 4’s topic is about what things can and won’t sink into water, and last Team 5’s Topic for term 2 is about Sounds, what we can use to make different kind of sounds.

As I know that this term is going to be Awesome

Reading DLO about how to Infer


Inferring means figuring out something that the author doesn't actually say. You can use clues that are in the text, and things from your own mind. Sometimes it's called "reading between the lines," and it adds a lot more meaning to the story.

Well, spending the rest of my last year here at pt england with Miss Paget, will be a big experience for me and also for her. I am really looking for the future with her.This will be continued with more and exciting news :)

The Super Duper Pooper Scooper My Sumarize :) Number2








I have been reading this book for about 2 weeks and already I have been sunk into the book  Using the website Into the book. It also helped me visualize and make connections in the text.


Chapter 4 - Chapter 5     Pages 16 - 24
My Summarize:  
Page 15
Pete has more problems, someone is knocking on the door, Pete opened the door and there he was one of the smartest but also the annoyingest boy ever. His name is Henry Benson, he keeps coming to Pete’s house, Pete’s Mum thinks if Pete will hang out with him more his smartness or his cleverness will rub all over Pete.  


Page 16
Then Beson Butt .. … I mean Henry asked Pete if he had worked on his Science project or if he have even started on it, well Pete sounded all sorted out and said yes of course, then he asks Henry what’s his theme for your Science Project acting and sounding all interested.  


Page 17
Well Pete slammed the door in front of Busen Butt as what everybody calls him. straight after slamming the door in front of Busen Butt the Magpie starts attacking, also known as Mum, when the magpie attacks she starts chirping “Is he gone? Did he leave? why didn’t you tell him to have lunch? “ as all mothers they want to keep their child with the right friend, as I said mum thinks Pete will hang out with him then his smartness or his cleverness will rub all over Pete.


Page 20-23
After speaking with the Magpie shes says to make dinner, wash the dishes, and set the table for Dinner. After having to do all jobs, he sits near the window, looks out the window and tries really hard to think of an theme for his Science Project. But as soon as he starts thinking, He sees Dizzy (His Dog) doing what he does best have poos. Then again the Magpie starts attacking, But Pete knows what shes gonna say PETE, DIZZY, HAS DONE ANOTHER POO, but it wasn’t just about dizzy she also said to make sure he gets the rest of his chores done. Wow that’s heaps of time to think about my Science Project (NOT!) He thinks to himself.
