Aussie Rules

Aussie Rules

Wednesday was a lucky day to play a new game. We have been learning the skills required to play Aussie Rules.

There are four goal posts to kick it over and the field is oval. The ball is similar to a rugby ball.

We loved that game you can get straight in to it. We practice all sorts of stuff. I bet when you play the game you'll like it.

Spectascular New Zealand

The Rugby World Cup is bringing lots of tourists to New Zealand but there is more here than just a cup!

There were people in New Zealand that were the first ones and they were important to us.
They were Maori in New Zealand and so New Zealand was all none as Maori culture.

There are animals in the wold, put in New Zealand There are animals that just belongs to New Zealand. They are and a there more.
New Zealand is very interesting they have animals that has a hint.

So if you are here to see of the 48 Wold Cup Rugby Games, remember to also take time out to inspect more of our stunning country.

Cross Country

On Tuesday we had to walk through the bushes. As Mr Marks walked out of the room he said to us we are going for a practice walk. It sounded so exciting, but as we got down there the track looked very dangerous.

I didn't run the race because of my ear operation. As I walked I saw cracked tracks, scary bridges which crossed deep creeks, and fallen trees.

When I crossed the finish line I felt very tired and sweaty.

Badminton

At badminton we do all sorts of stuff like serving, hitting and practicing. When I first touched the racket I felted so nervous. It wasn‘t until I hit it that I realised I was very bad at it. Then the next week a new instructor came and she taught us some new skills and with her we played at the net. I was very bad with the net but my partner was Howard who was very good at hitting the shuttle. The shuttle was coming towards me and I didn’t know what to do. I whacked it and then I smacked my partner in the nose. When my patner and I were practicing I was very good. Then the instructor gave us a cone. We had to try to hit it in the cone and the other person had to catch it. We got five shuttles out of the bin and we tried to shoot it in and I got three in.

Netball

Last week we played netball outside on the asphalt court!!!!! We were all practising how to provide a target.

Later on in netball the coach gave as all a number each, one to thirteen. When the teacher called number nine that was my number. I rushed to the hoop and picked up the ball and tried to shoot in to the hoop. I go two turns and on my second one I got it in but my first one I never got it in.

The next week we played real netball. It was fun but my opponent was very tall her name was Lisia and I was jolly.
