NRL All Star Against The NRL Indigenous Side.

Both teams, NRL All star and the NRL Indigenous getting ready to give it their best in front of millions of fans, playing in Suncorp Stadium in Sydney. It was an important game for both teams
because they were playing in front of their fans, so they wanted to impress them. It was also a clash between the coaches of both teams, Wayne Bennett of the All Star team and Craig Bellamy from the Indigenous side.

The All Star team is represented by the 16 clubs in the NRL tournament. They are called the All Star team because they pick very talented players from each team in the 16 teams. The Indigenous side represent the Aboriginals, which some players from the 16 teams are picked from, that are Aboriginals.

Kiwi Skipper Benji Marshall leading out the All Star team and Skipper Jonathan Thurston also leading his side the Indigenous. As the Indigenous side were coming out of the dark tunnel, fans screaming for their favourite team. While they were running out, NRL hall of fame Preston Campbell hosting the Indigenous side as he was playing the Didgeridoo.

Getting ready for kick off, five eighth benji marshall kicking the ball for the Indigenous side to receive the ball.

The game went on very well until the danger man, Ben Barber from the Indigenous side scored a hat trick in the first half.

In the second half the Indigenous side were on fire scoring another 4 tries, making the Indigenous side way ahead of the NRL all star. With 20 minutes left of the game the NRL all star scored a try leaving the final score of all stars with 6 points and the Indigenous side with 32 points, WHAT HIDING !!!.

My Goals For 2013.

This year, 2013, my goals are to improve in my writing, maths and reading. My new class teachers are Mr Bark and Mrs Nua. Mr Barks is really good at maths, and Mrs Nua is really good at reading and writing, so I am quiet happy with my new class for 2013.

To achieve my goals I would have to keep on task, concentrate and listen to what my teacher, Mr Barks and Mrs Nua tells me to do and also use the time effectively that I am given.

My goals in writing is to write at least 4 to 5 paragraphs as a year 8 student at Pt England School. Another goal for me in writing is to use punctuation in my writing, also use very good vocabulary to make my writing sound interesting and to hook my audience in. I know for me writing is the most hardest subject in school, but I’m going to give it my best effort.

My Netbook Reflection.

This year I am a year 7 at Pt England School and I have had my Netbook for about 3 years. My positive thing is that I am very pleased to have netbooks because for me it is much easier to do my subject in school. The most easiest subject for me to do in my netbook is writing because it is much faster to type rather than writing in a book and using a pencil for hours and hours.

   My netbook has really helped me for my learning. I do my writing, maths and reading on my little device. I have become a better speller and have improved in my maths, but still improving in my reading. It has helped me alot because of the sites on the net that I can go on like maths whizz, xtramaths and studyladder. Another thing is that I can go onto the net and do some research if I need a piece of information to help me.

   I would never go back to paper and pencil old school style. The reason why I would not go back to paper and pencil because it is boring writing for hours and it doesn’t have an auto speller to correct my spelling if it wrong, and it much easier for the teachers because they could just go on the teachers dashboard to look at your work and what have you improved instead of handing in the writing books.

Mt Tongariro Eruption.

 

It was reported by scientist that they believed Mt Ruapehu was very active to erupt, However it appeared that near the Central North Island of New zealand, Mt Tongariro erupted but it didn’t last for a period of time until it was pronounced calm.
  
   It was minutes away till 1:30 that Mt Tongariro had very largely bursted with such massive ashes claiming the Western Side in big DANGER. It was a miracle noticing there were no injuries, as for a group of schoolkids from Nelson Primary running for their lives as they were taking a hike up Mt Tongariro.

Most people around the Western Side near Mt Tongariro were very shocked because there were no warning with the eruption of Mt Tongariro. There was an huge ash plume shooting in the air for about three kilometres into the sky.

Maori Fairy Tale, By Ahsin, Raenan & Samuela

 Long ago there was a girl that lived in Whakatane up the road from Rotorua . The little maori girl would always wear her Korowai (feather cloak) when she was to leave her whare (house) , everyone in her tribe called her the Whakatanein.

 This one beautiful morning she asked her whaea (mother) if she was allowed to visit her grandmother, because she hadn't seen her in quite a while. Her whaea said “that’s a good idea Whakatanein”  So they made a basket of kai to take.

While she was strolling down the narrow path picking up kumara from the soil to take to her grandmother’s house, she saw a dark shadow approaching her and it was a scaly, hairy taniwha . She was so scared that she used her french stick in her basket to hit the taniwha however no damage was done.  So then she got out her big 6 foot snapper and slapped it across the face of the hairy monster repeatedly. Off she sprinted in her toe nikes leaving the taniwha in her dust.

Once she could no longer smell the taniwha she started walking down the path safely again .... not realising that the taniwha took a shortcut to Whakatanein  grandmother’s house.  Whakatanein got to her grandmother's house and knocked on the door while the taniwha was in the bed acting like the old grandmother.

Then she opened the door with her pukana face and saw her grandmother that had very big sharp teeth with big scaly ears and snake like eyes.  She knew that it wasn't her grandmother so she started playing around with the stupid taniwha so she made food for the creature and got a very poisonous fish that was a  spike thorn fish that was sharper than a hedgehog  and fed it to the taniwha and killed it but out of nowhere she  got her patu that her papa had carefully carved and whack its head back and forth encase the poison hadn’t finished it.
 
After taking care of the taniwha the grandmother reappeared from fainting after fighting with the monster she felt pretty happy after everything got taken care of, grandmother made some fried snapper with kumara for everyone around the village and everyone lived happily ever after enjoying the big feast.

The End
To all the people in whakatane hows it going bro.

Samuela Cross Country.

Just minutes away from the  annual occasion the school cross country. My group age (The 12 year old boys) getting ready to run the course. This is going to one of the hardest and grueling event ever in Pt England School.

Ready.... Set..... Go!!, as the 12 year old boys were jogging lightly down our school field. Splash!!, “OH NO” my shoes were sucked in strongly from the thick boogie greasy mud. As my shoes first hit the mud I felt stink because I knew straight away something bad was coming my way. The thick gooey mud smelt like poop all around the place.
Struggling to balance as I was wobbling side to side trying to pull my shoes out of the mud. I barely made it through the quicksand but my shoes were overloaded with the gooey mud. I will just imagine what my mother would say when I get home with dirty shoes.

Covered in mud from head to toe, I was glad to see the finish line when I hit the final turn. Struggling to accomplish the race as I was one foot in front of the other trying to hold off my challenger. Crossing the line, with feet burning I was completely exhausted as I collapsed in a heap. After the race I noticed that I have transformed from being a human to being a pig covered all over with thick greasy mud.  

“Yesss!!!” Finally, just a few steps away from ending the hardest event that I thought was endless.
