Our Champion Boys.

Last week our year 8 boys went to a 7's rugby tournament called "Aims Games." It was held in Tauranga for one week. The boys came back the New Zealand Rugby 7's champions.

When they were down there the New Zealand 7’s was giving them some good advice . The best piece of advice was, if you want to win tournaments if to all ways be on defence.

That night I found out that the boys had taken out the tournament I was extremely happy for the boys, it is a great achievement, they made our school very proud.

Why is learning about people in the global community important?

Why is learning about people in the global community important?

I think it is important because we need to have good relationships with other countries. We can trade and exchange with them. World wide peace means to me not having wars, I think it is good to learn other languages of other countries because we can travel the world and know what they are saying and we can speak back to them, we can also speak to them if they are having trouble with something like maybe a product that we are selling and they don’t understand English. We can also learn other countries customs so we don’t offend them and start wars.

A new sport. (Badminton)

Last week for the first time in room 22 we went to a little session with a lady named Laureen, she was from Auckland Badminton Club, she was a couch I knew that because she was wearing a Badminton Couch Jacket.


The first thing she was teaching us to do was to have control over the Shuttle ( the white thing used in badminton) and have control over the racket, she told us to don’t look down because it would lose our concentration, so I looked down and I lost my concentration, but it took a while of getting used to hitting it up and down gently.

My favourite activity was the 2ND because you had to hit the shuttle with your racket and your with you partner my partner was Lesley, She had to hold the cone and gently pass me the shuttle and I had to hit it gently and Lesley had to try and catch it in the cone that we got given to each partnership.

It was really fun Badminton because it was really different playing a new sport that I had never tried before.
