Talking to the Moon

I know your somewhere out, there somewhere far away.I want you back, I need you back, cause my neighbors think I'm crazy.

At night when stars lit up my room, my feeling's disappear unto you. If there was me and you if there was me and you

I cant believe my dream's just washed away, I have been trying or even crying and now it doesn't exist.

If there was me and you I hope we'd make a two if there was me and you

Aussie Rules

Starting on the fifth week of school room 16 and 17 had some lessons of badminton with Megan. First we started of with some simple facts on how we can pass while playing this game. Our first Pass that we learnt was the hand pass. It is way more diffrent from how we pass on Rugby. We had to use our less |

hand to pretend that you are holding a ice cream cone so that you could push it up somebody's nose. But that wasn’t just the pass that we learn t, we also learned how to drop punt, That is the only way we could kick. First we had to make sure that the lasses were away from our faces, and both our hands had to hold it from the curve. After getting all those instructions right we kick it. If you did it properly it would go straight to where you were targeting it to go.


After learning how to hand pass and drop punt we had some little activities to warm ourselves up. Our first activity that we played was ninja elbow. For Ninja elbow we have to get into buddies so that we could try to hit each other on the elbow. First one who gets three hits wins. After playing that we had another activity similar to ninja elbow but this game was Ninja knees. Instead of hitting their elbow we hit there knees and that made it even harder.


Finally it was time for a longer game. Aussie base ball. It sounds quite boring but believe me it is very fun. Instead of using a base ball we used a rugby ball. First we had to kick the ball and if somebody catches on a fuel that means that you out. But if they miss it the teacher gives you another ball and you run with it so that you can bounce the ball between the cones which is 10 meters long or 20 steps long.

South Africa Flag

The South Africa flag is not just made up. It is a real story that happened in the olden days. For some people who were still alive that time would feel really bad.

White people that time treated black people really badly. They were both different. The black people had poorer qualities than the white people. They were not aloud to drink from the same fountain or eat from the same restaurant or anything else. They were really badly badly` treated.

In the 1980 Nelson Mandella went to prison just because he stood up for his people. H ewas released from jail after spending seventy eight years.

Nelson Mendella was a very important person after being released and bacame the first black person to become a president for south Africa.

Rugby World Cup Opening

Did you know that the rugby world cup opening was held at Eden Park on Friday last week. My highlight for the opening was the fire works. I really liked the colors ,and how it blew up in the dark sky. It even had fire works near the sky tower. Some of the fire works were blasting up like fire.

There were people who just came to town to watch the fire works and to take pictures of it too.

When the glittering fire works had finished. One of the t.v presenter interviewed Jonah Lomu. He is a star on rugby. He is’nt just a star though he is a star on scoring the most tries across the whole world. That could be the most amazing thing for me if I was him.

After interviewing Jonah Lomu the game began. It was Ikale Tahi's kick off.

I was cheering for the Tongan team. Even though they didn’t do well on the first half but i still like the way they defended. The All Blacks team were still good enough to get the most tries and are the first team to win there game for the Web Allis trophy.

As always the people who cheered for the Tongan team would say that the reeth of the game dosn’t know how to do his job propoley or they say that they cheated which really didn’t happen. The All Blacks won the game because of a reason. The reason was that the Tongan team were to slow and they didn’t have as much energy as the people in the All Blacks team.

Pt England 7s Champions

Our year eight boys rugby team from Point England intermediate headed off to Tauranga so that they could compete against a whole lot of other rugby teams from across New Zealand.
At Tauranga they competed against seven other rugby teams, that means they played more than one game every day. That would be very tiring for me because they had to wake up early and also do a lot of training and exercise. The good news is they won all seven games and are now New Zealand's best intermediate rugby team champions.

New Zealand Info

The country is situated 1,500 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea. Due to its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. It was explored by a British man who's name is James Cook. He explored it with his ship the Endeavor.
