Homework- Participate in a winter tournament

P7.  For the past 8 weeks and the next 2 more weeks I have been playing saturday netball. I play GA in a D team but my team is coming first in the B grade now. We were coming 6th in the A grade but the head of netball said that netball teams can't skip more than 3 grades and we skipped 4 so we have to stay in the b grade. The other day at training my coach told our team that the coach for junior a's of Tauranga Girls Collage, and the coach for the under 19's and under 21's netball reps heard about our team and that  she was going to come down to watch us on Saturday so she knows whats coming in for next year. And we are on the front of the school's newsletter because Miss Hampton the sports lady heard that we do 10 hours of training a week in the holidays and 4 hours a week on the week days and then on Saturdays we have to go to our netball game a hour early so we can warm up.


My team has been a tournament this year and we came 1st out of about 10 teams. We had 6 games we won all of them. All of our scores were very far apart like our highest score was 63-5 and out lowest was 45-6. On our 4th game one of our team mates got elbowed in the mouth and then we had to stop the game because our coach was arguing with the team that we were versing and when we were about to leave the coach said that next time if we are winning by a lot we had to take it down a bit so they would get goals and then my team mate that got elbowed in the mouth her mum had a very big argument with the coach but unfortunately the referee didn't do anything about it so we had to go on like nothing never happened.

Bad product or service

Bad service
In the weekend I was going to town for the day when I was about to go home and It was a hot day so I decided to get a drink of lift 10 minutes after bay hopper bus came and I still hadn't finished my drink once I got on the bus the bus driver didn't see the drink so he still let me on but when I sat down he saw the drink and the bus driver wouldn't let me drink my lift, I thought why can't I have my drink it wont spill? But he still didn't let me unfortunately he took it off me until it was about time to get off the bus.

Science fair

This year Im doing to see if it helps people shoot with net, no net or paper around the hoop. And I just finished last night it took me about 2 hours to decorate it and stick everything on. When I finished all my tests I got my results. My hypothesis was right the net does help people shoot. And the no net was the lowest successful shots. The paper was really close to the net by 1 percent less.

Captcha

About 200 million people do captchas are solved by humans around the world everyday.  It takes up 10 seconds of your life doing this it not a lot of time but  but in aggregate little puzzles consume more than 150,000 2 hours of work each day. Millions of captchas get solved each day.

Temple Run- 

A game that most people play is called Temple Run its mainly someone running along a brick bridge and you would have to swipe your finger across the screen to turn left or right and you would have to swipe down to go down and up to jump. You have to try avoid tree stumps and if you last a long time you will have to try avoid and jump over the gaps or if u fall down the gaps you will die. And if you swipe the screen 3 times its a cheat.

My Dad works in Perth in the Mines he does 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off, he comes back to Tauranga when he's not at work then flys back 2 weeks later. I dont really see him much but when he comes back he always likes to take me somewhere like Rotoura to the lodges or Rainbow End in Auckland. When he's back I stay at his house In Pillian Point for the 2 weeks and when he's is in Perth I stay at my mums house In Bethlehem. I don't really know that much about his job.

At my old school called Green park In year 6 I played netball on saturday morning , for 7's , and inter schools. For inter schools you would have to trial but I forgot my shoes that day so I couldn't trial and when everyone else trailed all my saturday netball team got in.  The coach for that team was Mrs Oakley. When she found out that the magics (that was my team) all got in except me because I never trialled. But surprisingly I got in without trialling so I was really happy!.

My weekend

On saturday I played a very hard game of netball the Katikati 8A unfortunately we lose but I was quite proud of myself because we are the D grade and we now are placed in the A grade. After my netball game I went to hang with some mates called Brody and Paris for about 2 hours down in frasor cove. After that Brody came over for a little while to watch a movie then after the movie my Mum, sister and I dropped him off around 7.30 pm and then our mums were talking for a long time! His sister Christa had a friend over at the time to called Anthony when we were all sitting down on the driveway I couldn't really see and I accidentally poked Brody In the eye.

Blog post-Someone different

My 6 year old sister Rhya-Jay is very different because she is not like me she is more like her dad. She is different because she acts like a boy sometimes, she's weird! , but has a good sense of humour. Sometimes she can be annoying but thats how life works she is a little chatterbox thats why she annoys me. She is always saying hi to my friends that she knows, like if she's in the car and one of my friends walk pass she would poke her head out the window and yell out hi and their name. 

Homework S8

The scorching sun was burning me like a oven, I trudged along breaking everything under my feet. I could feel the fresh breeze wafting up my nose when suddenly I heard a rumble in the distance, Everything around me was grey and black. Leaves, trees, sticks, everything. I was walking along the colorful ground. The tall green trees were looking down on me as if I was an ant.

I started to turn around but a vine got under me and tripped me causing me to tumble down. I landed with a big thump my arm landed on a spiky plant Ouch I cried in pain. Black and red blood ran down my arm. I wiped the blood off but it kept pouring out.                 

I sighed as I got up and dusted myself off. I turned around and searched for another path.

I keeped on walking until I found shelter. A second later a dark forest  caught my little hazel eyes, everything around me was blurry, my heart was pounding as fast as it could, boom boom boom 100 beats a minute. I nearly fainted but then I saw a old rusty sign leading to the river.  At that point I saw an unusual man coming towards me, making me feel unsafe and shy. I asked him where I was, he did not reply I could see a badge on the right side of his body Spelt Michael, I thought to myself that must be his name.

My weekend

On Saturday I played my game of netball I felt nervous and excited because the netball team that we versed would of been one of our hardest games. They were called the Tauranga Intermediate School 8C my team is the Tauranga Intermediate school 8D after the game my coach told us our score and all my team mates were all surprised because we won 33-8 I was really happy when I found out that we won. When were at training we have a friendly game of netball and the other team always wins when we verse them. But when we verse each other in tournament or a proper game my team always wins.
That was the last grading game and now we are versing A grades.

I wonder

I wonder If the sun rotates?

I wonder why the ants come out when there is food left out?

I wonder if the moon rotates?

I wonder if there are over 1 million people that live in tauranga?

I wonder where scabs come from?

I wonder why we have so much bones in our bodies?

I wonder why If you can cry under water?

I wonder how long a person can stay under water for?

I wonder why if fish can get thirsty?

I wonder how blind people can see their dreams?

17th Avenue Cemetery

On Friday in the middle block room 42 went down to visit the 17th Avenue Cemetery to get data. We all got into pairs and we had to go around with a question that we thought of. My question was what is the most common mens and women's name? My partner and I went around with that question and we found that the most common mens name is:James and the most common women's name is:Mary.
