Eastern Zone Tournament

2011-12-07T09:57:00.001+13:00

The Eastern Zone Tournament/Athletics

On the 29th of November 2011 was the day of the Eastern Zone Athletics, where all the schools from the Eastern Zone would battle it out to see who would win and go to the Inter-zone.

The Schools were: Point England, Tamaki intermediate, Panmure District, Saint Thomas,Sacred Heart, Stand Hope, Ellerslie intermediate, Baradine Intermediate(Girl school), Sylvia Park Intermediate, Dilworth intermediate and last but not least Parnell Intermediate.

There were a lot of events going on but my favourite event was the relay race. In my team where Matthew, Aidan, De’Vye.

'Ready, Set, Go!' Matthew went first,he was putting his foot down and putting on the gas but it was still not enough. Matthew handed the batten over to De’Vye.

De'Vyne took off as fast as a cheetah! De’Vye was catching up to the rest of the people in front of him. Dev’vye passed it over to Aidan.

Aidan was running so fast that his face was red, he almost looked like he was going to run out of breathe.

I stared to run, Aidan was coming up, quick! As soon as I got the batten in my hand I was off! 100 metre sprint down the red rubbery track. Thanks to the others that I had a good lead, all I had to do was sprint down the straight track!

As soon as I crossed that line, my team and I were laughing hard out and breathing hard as well. We came first I yelled excitedly! We are going to the Auckland Champs! “Auckland Champs Here We Come!!!!!!” we shouted.

This is my Blog post telling you how day and night occurs.

The Outta Space Fight Night

2011-11-09T10:51:00.000+13:00

One night when the Moon was not shining, the stars were not out and the clouds were dark black like as the darkest day. But then I was wrong, this super bright light that came from outta space, was so bright that almost blinded me, I got closer and closer to the space craft and then out popped this weird alien named Dexter,he had spiky hair,brown skin,two eyes and like humans and a body like a human but the only thing that is different is that he has a tail.

Dexter had told me that his planet was getting destroyed by a Monster from the mid evil times he had powers to live for a very long time he was a IMMORTAL his name was Kratos the God of war ,Dexter also told me that It was the destroyer of Five planets,Dexter told-ed me that I would be the one to Destroy Kratos,that I was the one to save the planet and the people from harm,lastly Dexter look at me and said that “I had special powers,”I ask “what kind powers do I have?” Dexter said “Find out yourself!”

The next day, Dexter had woke me up early to start my training,I was shock as soon as he told me to punch as many branches up in the trees as I could and the trees were high like the sky,Dexter said to “use my jumping powers,’’ I said “what jumping powers?” “just jump!” Dexter yelled. So I jumped and then I was flying feeling free,I was circling the trees so fast that I got dizzy and then I crashed on some branches just before landing on top of a thick trunk,I wasn’t hurt not even a tiny scratch,I look at Dexter and said “Do I have fast healing powers?” Dexter replied “Yes you do”
“Awesome!” I yelled,”what other powers do I have?’’ Dexter told me that I have “speed,strength, Invisibility and could fly,super high and last but not least was transportation, ” Dexter had a strange face as soon as he put down the his intergalactic cell phone,”What happened?” I wondered,Dexter replied that his planet was destroyed,his people,was killed or were slaves for this beast.

Dexter had trained for weeks and weeks until it was time to fight,I was ready to fight him
but Dexter had warn me to watch out for his massive axe,his powerful punches and his strong kicks,we were fighting in a stadium of lots of aliens in outta space. The fight had started and all the aliens were booing me,I ducked all his jabs and then I done a really good punch to the stomach and he was down but then he kicked me so bad I went flying out of the stadium,out on to space,and then I transported all the way back to Earth. Kratos was flying all the way down like a king I said to my self ”That show off,”we had a fight back on my home turf, I done a really good punch to the face,I was furious that my anger took over and I was beating him so hard,I forgot about Dexter and the rest of the planet. I stop and It was all over, it so it seemed to be finished but I was wrong Kratos stood up and hurt Dexter and then I finished him of with the ultimate power punch. I was cheered Joe!!!!Joe!!!

I was wrong It was mum my waking me up to go to school,”What a dream,” I said.

The End

William Webb Ellis was born on 24Th November 1806 and he died in 1872. He was an Anglican clergyman who was famous for inventing the game of Rugby.
William didn’t invent the actual game of rugby but adapted to what we know as rugby today.
Originally they kicked the ball like soccer and he started the tradition of picking up the ball and running with it.
It all started when Mrs Ellis (his mother) sendt William and his older brother Thomas to a school where they could receive a very good education. This school was called Rugby school, that's where William had the idea of changing the sport named rugby.
The winning team at the rugby world cup would receive the a trophy named the William Webb

The Martin Jet Pack

2011-06-01T09:55:00.002+12:00

A kiwi inventor Glen Martin created the Martin jet pack that can fly 5000 ft. above sea level. Glen Martin was interviewed on Channel One’s Tonight Show and he said its just something he has been working on. People thought it was a big joke and they mocked Glen Martin a few years ago, so he has continued to work on his design.
Ha e created the jet pack to go place where helicopters could not go like just below trees.

He made the jet pack as safe as it could be. Glen Martin tested it with a dummy first and the person second. He put the dummy where the pilot would normally go and used a remote control to move it around. It flew 5000 ft. and sailed down 2000 ft. until the parachute shot out of the jet pack .Now the U.S. military army is very interest in buying this model for around $60,000, which I think is the perfect price.

Looking back-Looking forward

LOOKING BACK-LOOKING FORWARD

Looking back to last term, was a blast like the rocket has landed on the moon.. It was a lot of fun, we even got to go to camp take charge and that was a three whole days of breathe taking enjoyment and that was heaps and heaps of fun.

The Net books are a lot easier now, to use than books, and they are a whole heap of awesomeness and cool.

I am looking forward to this term of exciting new things like sports,swimming,Technology at Tamaki College and other new things, . If that can happen in10 weeks then what will happen in a year. Term 2,3 and 4 are going to be the best by far.

Adverbs

2011-04-05T14:12:00.004+12:00

The cheetah ran very quickly for its prey.
A adverb helps out the verb and they tell us more about how the verb was performed they also make our writing more interesting.

My letter

2011-03-31T12:55:00.006+13:00

Dear Mum and Dad,
How are you today? Are you felling well today?
I have some news about my behaviour in school, their is some bad and some good news.

The bad news is that today at school I got snapped playing games on my $427 dollars netbook and now I have another chance for my behaviour on my netbook .

The good news is that I have made it in to the rugby sevens and it will be on the last week of school

Apart from that things are going ok, that's what going on at school.

Sincerely Joe.

CAMP

2011-03-25T14:03:00.004+13:00

Before Camp:
Team 5 Camp Take Charge (Camp TC) is gonna be one of the best camps I’ve ever been to and the coolest one as well, I can’t wait until next week 'cause....

It is next week! Seven more days to go now before camp starts I have all ready packed up my stuff for camp, I'm ready to go. I’m hoping this week will go even faster so that the fun can begin. My leaders are the speed star Feki, the fittest guy in school (I reckon!) and the other all-star Shontal - the girl with a really loud voice. Our teacher is the one and only rugby league champion Miss Vaafussaga. My groups name is the RESPECTABLEZ!!!!!

After Camp:
We have just finished camp and wow! what an amazing three whole days of school we had, but the best thing was winning the concert for the very first time in year 7 and year 8 Pt England history, Nah jokes,...but we still won, I cant stop talking about it.
The thing I took charge of is my tent and all around it as well.
Far out a three fun days filled with heart pounding, leg pumping fun activities.
This was the best ever camp of the 21st Century by far, it was the best experience, I've had this year.

Bombing off the WHARF

2010-11-24T10:18:00.003+13:00

It was time, to jump off the Wharf, and my biggest fear was jumping into the water with those stingrays hagging around in the deep sea.As I was walking up my heart started to pump louder and louder as I took each step forward to wards the edge.

Once we had arrived boys and girls just bombed in to the water and my heart was going to pop out because it really wanted to jump. So I took slow steps forward to the post and stood on it. I looked down to the deep blue sea “Its a long way down” I told myself. I held my breath and took a plunge down. As a hit the water it wasn’t that bad.

As I was going up to reach the surface I wanted to do that again and again for a “whole year” I told myself.

2010-10-27T12:14:00.005+13:00

Do you know what is a Giant Weta is?

Mine is called a Giant Weta with a capital letter.
A weta is in all sorts of size,some are massive and could lay on your whole hand,but some are are very very big big ones.

Washing the dishes

2010-10-14T14:20:00.001+13:00

One night in the holidays when me and my family were having dinner someone had to do the dishes for the night “not me” said my brothers and sisters,”me I will do It”. I said I knew that if someone didn’t do the dishes my mum and dad would be angry. Someone had to keep the peace.

There were so many plates I had to do it was like a endless wave I told my brothers that I want to do the drying but it was to late now I said to my brothers “I rather sleep with 10 elephants or swim with 20 hungry sharks”!!!

It was like I was trapped in a cage with dirty plates and cups,the only way out was to wash them all. I” want to dry” I said in a bit of a scream in my head. After a few minutes It was getting so boring . I looked outside I saw a dog running across the street . I wish I escaped liked him .

As I was washing the dishes I turned around and saw a little more plates and cups to do untiled to I was finished, yes yes yes I said all over again and again.

Once I was finished washing the dishes it was 9:00 p.m. “No more plates or cups to do” I said.

Cross Country

2010-09-20T12:43:00.005+12:00

I got to school ready to learn but then every thing changed when Mr Burt said “ the cross country is today”. ”The race is today” I told my self in a panic. It was stink because I did not get my note, I had plan to tell mum to give a sick note to get me out of this but it was to late now.

Once we got out side it was getting cold and chilly, I was feeling a bit nervous and scared. Mr Burt had changed the rules,that the 11 year old boys were running next, I knew that the 10 year boys will run after the 11 year old boys.

Oh no the race is going to started right now, “10 year boys please step up your race is now” Mr Burt said,”you have got to be kidding me I told myself in a very scared voice. BANG!!! I heard,the race has started. Of we go. Once we past the gate I started tom feel lethargic,but I still managed to pass a lot of people,I was about to throw up when we past the gold post . Then all of a sudden I started to feel tired it was so bad that I wanted to quit. We were half way finished when all of my energy had drained out of me into the distance. The time I saw the finished when I was from one quarter.

I felt in impatient because the finish line was line still far away from where I was running from.

Once I was near the finish line I spurted all the way,”it is finally over”.I told myself in a relieved voice.Once the race was over, I was so happy that we have to do the cross country for another 365 days.

Roosters vs Panthers

2010-09-20T11:31:00.007+12:00

As we go back to the days of N.R.L.!!!

Roosters vs panthers, wow what a amazing game it was ,if you didn't watch it then you absolutes then you miss out on all of the action. In the first half the game there were some funny action, when the roosters left winger had the ball and ran full speed to the panthers winger, then all of a sudden they both collided, looking from the slow motion it looked like they just kissed. The tackler was lying down on the ground maybe he just had to much love, I think he was day dreaming. The second half started, a few minutes later the score were still the same 12 to 0 Roosters winning panthers losing. Finally here they scored roosters here they come out of no where 18 points to the roosters,panthers nothing yet,finally panthers scored 6 to roosters 18.

Here we go again,Anasta scores for the roosters 22 to 6 roosters still winning,panthers finally score 22 to 12 and now they make it a ten point lead to the roosters. Panthers very slim chance of winning. People hold your horses because here comes the roosters to make it 28 to 12. At the end of the game it was 34 to 12. Sorry for the Panthers supporters,

GO THE ROOSTERS!!!!!

Kiwis are cool

2010-09-09T09:05:00.003+12:00

A kiwi is about the size of a domestic chicken or a rugby ball.

The well known Great Spotted Kiwi is about 45cm long, tall, and it is the biggest.

The smallest kiwi is smaller that a rugby ball, and it is called the Little Spotted Kiwi. It makes me want to know how long they are going to live.

Well I suppose you wouldn’t exactly call kiwis beautiful at all. Their

plumage is rough, dull and it is stiff like dog hair,and not psychedelic or bright.

Most people think that kiwis don’t have any wings. But if you tuck your hand under the feathers, you will find a small wing that is tiny like a pinky finger. At the bottom there will be a claw.

There is one thing that these birds excel at - kiwis have very muscular, invincible legs. They look a bit like Islander legs, and they can out run a human in a race. Their legs are very strong for running, making burrows and fighting.

Kiwis only fight with their mighty legs to protect themselves from enemies. Their predators include weasels, stoats, cats and dogs. But the most feared is the feared stoat.

There you have it.

How could you possibly resist a chicken-sized, rugby ball, strong running sharp shooter with legs like Richie McCaw.

If Kiwis are not cool then I don”t know what is.

Point England School vs Holy Cross School

2010-09-06T13:20:00.009+12:00

On Wednesday the 21st of June 2010 Point England played a hard game against Holy Cross school a far superior team, we played them on our school grounds.

In the first half of the rugby game my team, Point England, kicked of to begin the game. When Holy Cross had the ball, Pt England had a mean defence, but it was still not good even enough. But Holy Cross had a massive guy charging at us like a bull that was very very angry. By the time Holy cross school scored their first try I said to myself "we need to wok even harder as a team.

By the time Holy cross kicked off to Pt England school I thought that I would have a run myself, I went to their biggest and strongest guy and guess what happen next ??I got dumped and slam to the ground , and my back was very sore.

The second half was when Holy cross school kicked off to my school Pt England to start the second half ,once the ball came down one of my rugby team boys, Nezinli, our fullback had the ball he ran and stepped one person from Holy cross school and he defend one of the opposition boy from the team, now that was a like Cory Jane a famous fullback of the All Black.

When Holy cross scored there try, the time was nearly up, Once they converted the time was all ready over.

Once the game was over Pt England did their cheer for good s port men ship. The points were 36 to Holy Cross, 0 to Pt England, we fougth hard but we lost by a thresh.

Pirates

2010-08-25T12:09:00.002+12:00

I"v been learning about pirates. Pirates are sea robbers meaning they steal other ships or merchant ships carrying lots of diamonds or gold and silver. In pirates times pirates people were very very poor, so people wanted to be pirates or sea robbers because they could earn more gold or silver faster.
The things sea robbers stole were from countries,the countries they stole goods.The most country they stole from was Africa,they would took slaves and then sell them for gold or silver,some diamonds were made in Africa pirates would take lots and lots of those precious diamonds,the smoke that pirates smoke were also from Africa.From India was spices mix with goods .China was a bit different they only stole a fabric of silk. Last but not lease South America, from there they took cocoa beans which make chocolate and more diamonds.

Polynesians come to NZ.

2010-07-21T11:54:00.001+12:00

Polynesian people came to NZ by canoe. Some of them voyaged in a single hull with an outrigger or a double hull.In full length, these canoe's were 15m-25m.These Vessels were made out of planks lashed together and woven sails.

Trained navigators used the stars as their guide to search for land.Signs of birds feeding at sea would give them and idea that land was near. To get to Aotearoa, the Polynesians had to get thru the stormy seas.

Camp Kindness

2010-04-16T20:05:00.000+12:00

Years 5, Year 6 and Year7 just came back from camp last week. It was from Wednesday to Friday.

Camp was tiring but great fun in many ways.

One of the best activities was ten pin bowling it was funny and enjoyable for the team. One of our team leaders scored a strike,then the team went crazy. I almost got all of them down but I needed two more pins to get a strike.

The second best activity was Kayaking. Kayaking was sore but fun and super cool.

When I jumped into the canoe, I just zoomed to the front of the line. One of my captains came and came and said, "You want a race?".

I said "Yeah ready,set, go"

So we paddled and paddled all the way to the finish line.We came a tie in the race.

I was very tired after that.

After camp I really wanted to go and have a very long sleep. I was happy because all the challenges I have done are all mastered.
