Netball Tournement

Yesterday,  4 teams (two teams from year 7 & 8 and 2 teams from Year 5/6) participated in the Inter school Netball Competition. All we did is  that we learned to have team spirit and we all worked together to create chemistry. Our first game was against Point England and unluckily we lost 1 - 5. Our second game was against Glen Taylor, unfortunately we lost. Our third game was against Glen brae and unfortunately we lost again. Our final game was against Panmure Bridge 2 which was the other year 7&8 team... Lucky we have finally won. We all tried our best and we all had fun.

Provocation (Before & After)

Here is my DLO based on "Should host countries have to spend so much money on building Olympic venues". We have been learning to consider both sides of a provocation so that we can make an informed opinion. My opinion is no because it is a waste of time and money and once they build it they only use it for a short amount of time. Why build something your only going to use for a short period of time. Why spend so much money on the stadium when you have more important things to look after such as, Schools, jobs or even company's. People should think about what they are going to do with there money so that it could be used wisely. 

Kiwi Sport (Run, Jump, Throw)

Today the year 7 and 8's had Kiwi Sport with Andy. We were learning to get our skills right on the difference between sprints and a distance run. The difference between the sprints and a distance run, is that when your getting ready in position for sprints, you use blocks. All you need to say for when your in sprints is, On your mark, GO (Thats when the gun goes BOOM). The difference for a distance run, is that you need to step 1m away from the line, then when the caller says On your mark, you have to bring one of your leg forward like your squishing a bug and wait till the caller calls out "Set" then thats when you lift your heal up at the back and also getting your hand in position. The thing you have to do when your in a distance race is that you have to put your opposite arm to your leg in position.

This is my photo based on adverting a futuristic Hover Bike. My partner Silivia and I were working collaboratively on making a simple ad based about a Hover Bike using persuasive language and many other types of features. This was really easy task to do and I guess this this activity was very fun.
