Cross Country

Nervously waiting on the cold hard concrete, I challenged myself to beat my mates at today's Cross Country. As I was sitting on the freezing court watching the races, I could feel whistling wind blowing against my face. Huffing and puffing, I was going to complete today's hard race. Crossing the finish line, I felt very dizzy and tired, but I was proud because I had won!.

Ferdinand Magellan

Ferdinand Magellan was born in Portugal in 1480. Magellan disagreed with the government of portugal because he hated them so much that he went to Spain. Ferdinand went to Spain and asked the king for money and a boat so much that the king gave him a boat called Victoria. He needed the boat to travel south west because of the dangerous Portugese blocking the route around Africa trying to get to Asia for trade.

Magellan went though the south Atlantic ocean down past south America and though the strait. It took Ferdinand months and months to sail through the new quiet and peaceful ocean, so he named this ocean, the Pacific ocean. His crew and his boat circumnavigated the world but Magellan was killed in a war at a place called Matacan in the Phillipines. Even though Magellan got killed, his boat the Victoria and his crew made it back to Spain and they were famous in history because they circumnavigated the earth.

Dragons vs Broncoes

Loudly I cheered for my team as the Broncoes began to play against the Dragons. As they were playing, Folau got 1 try in the first half and was very happy. In the second half he got another try and he was showing off to the crowd. In the last minute Lockyer drop kicked the ball over the post and the Broncoes won. The final score was Broncoes 10 and Dragons 6. Some Dragons players were upset because they had lost.

Christopher Columbus

In the 1400's Christopher Columbus begged and asked the King of Spain for money and a boat to travel on the west of the world to get to India, because of the dangerous seas of Africa. The people didn't agree with Christopher Columbus because they didn't know what was on the west of the world. When Christopher Columbus reached land he thought he was in India and started calling the central Americans Indian's.
