Tennis

2011-11-09T10:19:00.001+13:00

Tennis is a interesting and competative sport, when I had my first session of tennis I was unexcited because I didn't like wacthing Tennis because I thought it was boring just hitting the ball from one side of the court to the other side. But I haven`t actually played it so when i started playing it I enjoyed it alot.

Today was my seconed session of playing tennis I was looking forward to it this time, we had a little tournament to see what group of students were the best tennis players in our class. Our group started of on the topside of the court and I thought we would win the tournament go through undefeated and stay champions,but it was a different story. On my turn I served the ball to my oppenent he hit it back and I was linning up the ball for a good hit I slamed it but unfortunally into the net! I was dissapointed of my hit. We lost that macth and so we got droped into the lower ranked court. I was expecting more from our group.

I was determaind for revenge and was ready to unleash the Rafal Nadal like player inside me. I was first up i serevd the ball and it came straight back at me i slamed it straight back but yet again it came back, I chased the ball and hit it into the top right corner that won the game for us!!! I was happy with myself. BUT! Our trainer Marcelle didn`t belive that we won and gave the opossing team the win and a trip to the 1st ranked court.

Tennis is now one of my favourite sports to play. Even though the rain delayed our tournament a bit and even though we didn`t come anywhere in the tournament I still had fun and enjoyed our session with Marcelle (Instructor). Even though that i think that Tennis is a boring sport to watch it is a fun sport to be apart of and play. I can`t wait until our next session of Tennis.

We have had allot of fun learning about France and there culture .

“Good morning Tyler,” Said Griffis,
“ Good Morning Griffis, said Broffin, This is my first time in France and I would like for you to ask me a few questions on France “
“Do you know what the capital of France is?”
“Indeed I do, it is Paris,” replied Broffin.
“Do you know what continent France is on?” asked Griffis.
“Yes I do, it is in Europe," replied Broffin.
“You are on a roll,” said Griffis .
“What are the colours on the French rugby jersey?” asked Griffis.
“ Yes I do Black and Blue,“ said Broffin.
“ OK, Next question. Who is the previous France captain?” asked Griffis.
“ Is it Dimitri Yachvili !” Replied Broffin.
Griffis stood in silence and nodded his head. “You are one confident buck.” said Griffiis
“ Thank you !” cheered Broffin.
“ Do you know what colour the French flag is? “ asked Griffis
“ I do!” shouted Broffin, it has stripes with colours Red,White and Blue!”"yes you are right, What are two major celebrations in France
“ ok, you got that right, but do you know who the first settlements to ever step on France?” said Griffis.
“ oh Good question , was it the Pakeha’s" said Boffin
“ olalala ! no it wasn’t the Pakeha’s it was the Gauls,” spoke Griffins.
Sorry you have got one answer wrong so I'm going to stop this conversation. Good bye

Silly Sports day

2011-09-03T14:16:00.001+12:00

There I was hobling along with my mate Feki beside me, we had to win this race to make it into the finals. Last Tuesday team five had a silly sports day, the sun was shining brightly with a slight breeze and the oval was nice and soft. Me and my mate Feki were hobling in a three leged race, our inside leg was tied up so we had to use three legs to walk with. I managed to make it into the finals with my other freind but we didnt win it.

The hardest activity for me was Ms T's because it was hard to control the slingshot. The objective was to use the slingshot to fire the ball into the hoops to score points. Every time i went up for my turn i tried to shoot the ball to the left so the wind could push it into the hoops for points, I never got the ball in the hoop it always came up short of the hoop. We scored no points in this activity until Ms V said if we hit her we get a hundred points no one in our class could hit her so Ms T tryed and she hit Ms V on the stomach. But we didnt score any in that activty.

My favourite activty of the day was Ms Langitupu's because it was fun and we won! The objective was to get all players on the other team out by touching them with the ball. It may sound easy for the team with the ball but you are not aloud to move around with the ball in hand. My team was the colour blue we had all the sporty people in my team. On our first game we had fun only two people got out and the rest survived. Our next macth was the finals for our class we were all pumped up to win. We all focused on one person to get out , we got all of the yellow team out and we were the champions of our class at this event.

The silly sports day was an awsome day I had lots of fun and it was very competive, i hope that we have another silly sports day.

Prototype

2011-07-15T12:04:00.002+12:00

This term we have been working on designs for our street. I have designed a one setter chair, it is similar to a lazy boy chair, when you lean back the bottom of the chair comes up to put your feet on to relax.

Before I got to this state I had to search the Internet to look at past furniture designs. I had to draw out my furniture design ideas on to a sheet of paper. It wasn't easy thinking of ideas it took me a while to come up with the right one.

When I started my furniture prototype I had to draw my design out onto a cardboard, then I had to cut it out to join it all the pieces together . When i finish my prototype I will take a photo of me sitting on it.

If I had.......

2011-06-28T14:25:00.000+12:00

Our task was to write a sentence starting with the words "If I".

If I had a real job ,
I would sell my ox
then maybe upgrade my Box.

If I had a real Job,
I would be a huge snob.

If I had a real Job,
I would buy a house

If I had a real Job,
I would help or fobs then I will try and help out the Mongrel Mobs.

If I had a real Job,
I will buy a real car instead of a trolley.

My Strategy

This is what happens in my brain when I try to answer a maths problem.

The problem was

182-78=

To make it easier I added 2 on both of the numbers. Now it was 184-80=104.

Into the action

2011-06-15T14:39:00.000+12:00

I ran past one defender and dashed down the sideline.....

I stood up in a disgrace as I walked back onto the field of play with my head bowed. I said to myself, "What happened?"

I took a break and tried to get my head together all I remembered was that I was running down the sideline...... But then I remembered that I got hit out right next to the try line. My rugby game was over for the day.

Exggeration

2011-06-13T14:58:00.003+12:00

Our task was to exaggerate in our writing.
Last week I went to my Grand Dad Obama’s house. It was boring because he had a meeting with the Taliban's to bring peace.

I Came back to N.Z and we went to go watch my uncle David Tua when the Mobs came and invaded my uncles house, he gave them a left hook with a right upper cut.

Cars

2011-05-19T10:06:00.001+12:00

Cars
The first car was invented by Karl Benz, They were very different from todays cars.

Cars today come in all sorts of different sizes. Some are the sizes of Blue Whale even some come as the shape of a bicycle. Today’s cars have improved Tremendously like they have more like ford, Holden and Mercedes. Cars come as the shape of a Bicycle and come with two wheels.

in the future I think that cars will be able to fly and to go under water.I hope in that in the future the cars can be Bigger, Better, Stronger, Faster.

Camp TC is nearly here I have had started packing my stuff for camp Take charge. I am in the Participatorz .I can’t wait till next week on Monday because that is when camp starts then.

I can’t wait for camp its going to be a blast.

Our first day at Tamaki college

2011-02-18T10:18:00.002+13:00

Yesterday, Team 5 walked down to Tamaki College to have our first day of Technology. When we walked down I was thinking what graphics would be like this year. Last year the year eights had a taste of what tech at Tamaki was like now we have more people. Last year their were 3 groups now this year their are 4 . Their was Cooking, Hard Materials and Graphics and now their is Electronics,so I was curious of what that would be like.

When we arrived I was looking for my line to go to my class. When we got in there our Teacher said, "To get high marks you don't have to be an artist you just have to have lots of ideas”.So I thought to myself I could get high marks.

I thought our first day at Tamaki was a blast. I am looking forward to what this year would bring.

So I told Moses if we could lower the price and he paused for about three seconds then he said “OK I will change it to one dollar “. Next thing you customers coming in from left right and center .Until we were sold out .

Explain ready

2010-11-26T13:22:00.004+13:00

Our teacher set a task.You got given a word to explain what it meant. My word was kingdom.

!!!Athletics is here!!!

2010-11-25T12:38:00.002+13:00

123 bang!!! “1st place” said Mr J , I was so happy with myself (even though i was the first person to throw ). More and more people took their turn I was going down more positions until I got knocked out of the top three .Discus was the first activity we did.

The School Athletics had finally come there are 4 teams, Takitimu,Matatua,Tanui and Te arawa. The team I was in was Takitimu. The school Athletics take place for the whole day I was excited to do no work for the day!

Our second activity was softball throw I was pumped up . Again I was the first person up. I got me a ball 3 steps back ran up to the line “Yahh”, I threw the ball passed the last cone. I was so happy I was in the top three for only a little period of time. At the end of the activity I will say I came 5th overall.

My favourite event was the high jump,last year I came 2nd and made it to the interzone . This year I was hoping I could come 2nd again or maybe even first.It was time for my first jump I was so nervous I had butterflies I didn't want to bail my first jump. I ran up to the plate I jumped “slam” I landed on the mat I looked up luckily the bar was still on. I made it to the finals I was excited I went first i jumped “!!!bang!!!” I knocked the pole down I was so devastated.

Athletics was a good day I was'nt happy with myself I think I could have done better in high jump. But there is always next year.I think Takitimu won.

Ny Favourite Nrl Teams

2010-07-20T14:52:00.002+12:00

My favourite Nrl Teams are Eels and the Warriors. I like the Warriors because it is the only new Zealand team in the Nrl. Also they made a big comeback they were no where near the top eight but now they are in fifth position. They have just beaten the best team in the competition.
The reason why eels is one of my favourite team is because My favourite player plays for that team. His name is Jarryd Hayne. His nick name is the Hayne Train. Even Andrew Johns (the best player of all time)
said that he was the best player he had ever seen. Also I like the Eels is because they are electrifying to watch. So those are my favourite teams.

Kevin Locke

2010-07-02T12:25:00.002+12:00

Kevin Locke is 21 years of age an he has already played 24 NRL games. On his last game he just played against the Roosters He scored three tries.

On his first try James Malony kicked the ball from half way. The ball was going to go past the dead ball line so every one started to jog to the ball but not Kevin Locke, he ran all the way. Like the ball was gold and he dived on the ball. On his last try of the game the when the warriors were losing he got a try. When he got that try he bruised his hips.

Personal Shield Reflection

2010-06-30T12:01:00.001+12:00

I am not proud of what I have done on my personal Shield. I think that I should have worked faster, I always mucked around. The only thing I am proud of is my planning. It was really good it gave all I needed to do was copy it on to the paper.

If I could change one thing it would be to change my shape of my background.

My Animation about Rangitoto

2010-06-29T14:27:00.004+12:00

Another Famous Victory

2010-06-25T14:59:00.000+12:00

One Hundred years of Maori rugby finishing in style with a win over England who have already beaten Australia. At full time the score was 35 -28 to the New Zealand Maoris it was a nail biting game it was the Maori who came out on top. If you read my other post about the game I predicted that England would win. I guest I underestimated the home side. If I could choose man of the match it would have been Hosea Gear. That game Ended the Maoris season ,here are the results of their previous matches. Maoris 38-31 vs Barbarians ,31 28 vs Ireland.

New Zealand Maori vs England

2010-06-23T10:30:00.004+12:00

Tonight there is a rugby game between New Zealand Maori and England. New Zealand Maori have had a good season winning 2 out of 2 games . They are in good form they had a famous victory over Ireland and barbarians.
England on the other hand have had a pretty good season too. With a loss over the Kangaroos and having one of their best performances in two years to pull of a good win over the kangaroos . I think that England will win because they will dominate the breakdown and the scrum but I still think it would be a good game don't miss the game.

Mt Wellington Vs New Lyn Stags

2010-05-25T10:15:00.002+12:00

On Saturday I had a league game against the New Lynn Stags. Our team was bigger than them but we were not going to go easy because they had a player who was good at defending and has knowledge about how this game is played.
Bang my team kicked the ball, the opposition claimed it and ran like there was no tomorrow. His face was scrunched up like he just ate something sour. But then one of our best tacklers jumped on him and slammed him on the ground.
The first try came from our talented centre Troy who broke threw the line and scored in the corner. Our second try came from Charm who had three people on him and still managed to get away, it looked like they blacked out because they just fell off.
At half time the score was 30 nil to the Mount Wellington Warriors.When the Stags kicked the ball off one of our best forwards got the ball and he ran 10 metres. Next was his brother Suey he ran 90 metres to score the next try. Our next set our our captain Tevita passed the ball to our fullback who managed to get an off load to our centre who passed it back to our captain who scored.
The last try came from Rhys who had his first game back from a holiday.
I had a good day with the boot because I slotted five goals.
At full time the score was 54-0.

Dinosaurs Part 1

2009-05-07T09:21:00.011+12:00

This term we are studying about dinosaurs. I am going to talk about the Velociraptor. The Velociraptor was fierce, fast infact it was one of the fastest dinosaurs. It was a meat-eater and it lived in the late Cretaceous period.

It had 80 sharp teeth and claws on all fingers and toes. The velociraptor could of been found up to 5 to 6 feet long.

Then we studied abut the Triceratops. it is a herbivore which means it is a plant eater. It ate low lying plants like bushes. It could not reach the leaves of a tree because it is so short. It looks like a bull with horns attached to its head. It is very slow and it was probably the slowest out of all of them.

So that was the end about me telling you about the Velociraptor and the Triceratops's.

Mt Wellington VS Papakura

2009-04-30T09:20:00.002+12:00

Last week we had a game against Papakura. We lost to them last year. They are a very hard team. Their Halfback was fast and had skills and their prop had lots of power like a strong bull. He could bust through lots of tackles.

The game kicked off. I was Center with Xaiver. Kiore got the ball and he had the first run. He got tackled to the ground. A boy called Pheonix got the ball and passed it to Charm (in Room 17). Charm also got tackled and then when the other team got the ball they nearly got a try, but the ball went dead when they kicked it past the dead ball line.

When our team got the ball back, Charm got the ball, but then he got injured because someone sat on his back from the other team. Charm had to go on the bench, and Duran took his place.

The game was exciting and there were lots of supporters down at Dunkirk. When there was only 20 minutes left, a big boy on the other team ran fast to get a try, but a boy on our team called Reid did a huge tackle on him and he didn't get the try.

At the end of the game, the other team had won, but we had a good game anyway.

New Zealand Tag

2009-02-24T14:26:00.008+13:00

Our team is the East side Soldiers. Today is the Tag tournament. We only lost one game against the Mighty Turtles. They are undefeated, but now we need to beat them in the Elimination tournament. First game against the Mighty hawks We won 4-9.

Our next game was against Tag Along BUT!!! It was a mix up we are going to V's the TURTLES
So Tony our coach said it is time for no mercy 110%.

The game started. We kicked it off to them. They ran hard. We tried to get them every time they made us tired lots of times. It was a draw 6-6.

Then they got a run away. The person was 20 metres away. I ran as fast as i could. I ran like there was no tomorrow. I was so close and he was so close to the try line. I dived and I got his tag off. The game ended 6 all. We were so tired of giving 110% to them. They took it out of us and we took it out of them.

I got tired. We vs Tag Along and we thrashed them 18-1. It was time to give out the most valuable player out of the team choice. It Was......ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So then i gave every thing i had to win the semi finals so i ran my fastest and we won the tournament.

Wow! Oh up, down, twisting, turning. In my holidays I went to Rainbows End. It was fun . My favourite ride was the roller coaster. It was fun because it was twisting and turning, and flipping me around. I liked it when I went upside down. Me and Raven went on it ten times. www.viewauckland.co.nz

I went with my cousins Adrien, Jordan, Charm and Raven. Also I went with my uncle Sam. My second favourite ride was the Power Surge. When I went on it, my mums friend Sylvia was screaming loud. She was screaming because it was flipping upside down and spinning around like she was a spinning top. I was laughing so hard when we got off, I was still laughing.

As we got to the end of our day, we were hard out on the roller coasters. Then the day ended so that was my day at Rainbows End.

Interchange:14 Issac Luke,15 Greg Eastwood,16 Bronson Harrison,17 Sam Rapira.

This what happened England kicked of the ball and Lance Hohaia
catches the ball then he passed it to Simon Mannnering and he had the first run and he gets tackled 15 Min's later the kiwis get a try from Benji Marshall to Sam Perrett .Then the Conversion done Jerermy Smith and he gets it.Now the score is 6-0.Just about 5 mins later the kiwis are 5 Metres away from the try line Now it was Thomas Leuluai time to shine he dummies a pass then passes it to Lance Hohaia then he dives and he gets a try.They kick it of and the kiwi team gets it and it was a good run and they are fifty metres away from the try line 10 mins later they are just 1 metre away they pass it to Jerome Ropati runs it hard and he gets a brillant try but the conversion is miss.

But the Conversion is missed so its 10-0.Next England kicks it of and they get the ball and he run it but got tackled. Now they are really close so Peacock runs in like a bulldozer and he gets a great try.They miss the conversion.Seconds until half time and England gets a try from a little kick and they get the conversion so it is 10-16.

It was a close game if you want to know what happend arfter that wacth it a nd by the way !GO THE KIWIS !

A Smart person called Joshua Klein

The crow pic www.boingboing.net
Have you heard of Joshua Klein? He is a very intelligent person and he is an amateur researcher who researches crows. He is trying to tell people that you can train crows. Some people think he is crazy but he is not.

Where did he get this idea? He got it from his friends' BBQ. A crow was near by and it was being a pest then his Friend got up and said "I have had enough I am going to EXTERMINATE IT!" Just before he got up Joshua said stop "Don't do that we can train them." Then his Friend said "are you crazy?" Then Joshua said "watch me".

For the next ten years he studied about crows. Next he built a vending machine. A vending machine is when you put something in and you get something out.The first step is to put the vending machine out where lots of crows are. Now you get lots of peanuts and coins so they can just come and get a peanut. That will be simple for a crow this will have been Paradise. The next step was to get coins and they will have to put the coin in the slot if they want to have a peanut. Then the crows got used to it. Now they had a sound so when they hear it they came
to get some peanuts. The final step was to just have a coin lying on the floor. Now the crow was pretty angry and it knew that the machine was messing with them so it picked the coin up put it in the slot and flew away happily with a peanut.

Then they had another experiment to see if the crow could get the meat out of the tube. It was having a little bit of trouble it did not even look like it was going to give up. It stopped and then it bent the wire had another try again then it got it! Then it munched all the meat up.

And the Yr5 and 6 extension group at Pt England School gave him advice. It was called the bar key

B=BIGGER A=ADD R=REPLACE and that's it.

Also we gave him some ideas like have a school for the crows. Also we said get some flavoured peanuts for the crows and see which one they prefer.
