My Avatar!

In week 3 term 4 Panuba teachers gave their students a task to create an avatar to represent their house team, Also had to draw the initials or their name. This my avatar, it represents my house colour (Tainui) and it has my name on it.

Colour wheel

In term 3 and the beginning in term 4 class 5 were studying alot about colour wheels. Class 5 were learning about how 3 primary colours, red, blue and yellow can create other colours as well. We've also been learning about how Territory, Primary, and Secondary colours can make more than one colour . So once everybody has had there time learning about colour wheels, Miss Paget gave us a task to create our own colour wheel.

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.
