William Webb Ellis Cup

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

Ellis Cup.

The Martin Jet Pack

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.
