Letter

Dear Mr Hilliard

I am writing to let you know how I feel about the new gym. I like it because it has ping pong tables to play ping pong and it is a big space for everyone to play in. It’s a big enough space for at least two classes. The gym is is very spacious and bright with colours.

I like the colours of the gym and the changing rooms because of how flash they are. They are always clean and still in new condition. If they were messy then no one would go in them and appreciate what we have. The gym is tidy, like the changing rooms, the actual gym and the area where we play ping pong is comfortable and an idea place to hang out.

I also like how the new gym has different seating areas. For example, there are stairs that we can sit on when we are taking the role for P.E. There is also the floor in the new gym, that is laid down with new carpet .

I have one suggestion and that is maybe we could get basketball hoops installed because there are only netball hoops. There are a lot of basketball tournaments going on in the past few terms. You can’t really use netball hoops for basketball practises and basketball games.

I would also like to suggest that we would be allowed to use the gym more often at morning tea and lunch. Boy like myself have a lot of energy to burn and we would like to use this energy in playing something we enjoy like basketball.

Overall, I think that the gym is awesome because it it colourful, comfortable and humongous and I think my small suggestions will only improve our gym for years to come.

Thanks for reading my letter

Sincerely

Cole Ruri  

  

Writing

This is my writing, hope you enjoy.

How is NRL played?

First teams are on 2 sides

Toss a coin to decide who goes first

Usually full back half back or hooker starts

you have to start with a kick off, it must be off the tee

The team that kicked the other players rush off

The opposite team starts to defend

Next the team getting the ball starts a set of six.

If you drop the ball the other team gets the ball

If you throw a forward pass the other team gets it

Then there are these things called penalties

Penalties are things that you or the other team get if something bad happens

For example if you do a high tackle that’s a penalty

If you shoulder charge that’s a penalty

If you punch it’s a penalty, maybe even a yellow card or red card

What is your favourite NRL Team?

To play NRL you have to get two teams and put them on two sides. After that you do a coin toss, whoever wins gets to pick whether you receive or kick off. When you have done the coin toss the team that receives gets into position while the other team setup to kick off.

They kick off and the other team starts a set of six. If you drop the ball the other team gets it, if you throw a forward pass the other team gets it. If both teams drop the ball then the team that dropped it second would feed the ball through the scrum.

If you do a high tackle or a shoulder charge then the team that had the ball get a penalty. If you get the ball then purposely run behind a player a that player takes someone out then that’s a penalty to the other team or if you punch or kick then that’s a penalty and maybe a yellow or red card.

If you score a try then that’s four points, if you get the kick it’s two points. If you get a penalty kick then that’s two points and if you get a field goal then that’s one points

Overall, NRL is quite simple to play so give it a try. This is my favourite sport because it’s fun and exciting.

Sketching in Art

LO: How to draw bodies in Proportion and Shade.

Learning Processes

- Pencil Drawings- Work Sheets- Wire Frames or guidlines- Mrs Cairns Demonstrations, Mark's Demonstrations- Youtube- Internet- How to- Slide Shows- Artist model: Robyn Kahukiwa.


What worked, what didn't and what would I change?

The drawing worked but the hands didn't really work and I would change nothing.

Science in the Lab

Today we were learning about stuff in science. One of the activities was wondering why the Police separate the witnesses at a crime or accident. This is my reason why I think that.

Lab Safety

Today we were learning about safety in Science with Mr Kane. One thing is when your doing an experiment put safety glasses on. Another thing is to put your bags under your desk and keep them there. Something else is when you have your Bunsen burner on, you need a mat underneath it. Never sit on the tables and don't spill chemicals.
