My Grandma

My grandma deserves the best in life because she makes me happy when I am down. She has always turned my frown upside down. She is always on my side. She believes in what I do, cares for me and always love me as no body could ever do. Nobody can replace my wonderful nana, she makes my heart beat fast, cheers me up with all her love. My nana loves me so much that I forget myself and my worries.

Caught Being Good Grand Parent


Dear Mrs Baker,

My grandma Riana has done a lot of things for my brother and me. When I was little she would take me to lots of places. She would take me to the pool, the park, and she would even take me up north to meet my cousins whom I had never met before. Sometimes when we’re at the shops she would buy me a lolly.

On Saturdays we would go to the White horse or we will go to the Pakuranga league club. She would take a cold drink for her as well as to me. She is a very affectionate person. When my dad fell from the tree and was injured his head, she was there to give him comfort and took him to the hospital. I love my nana and would be happy to give her anything.

RWC 2011

Tuesday 25th October 2011

Learning Intention: I am learning to write an explanation.

The All blacks were playing France in the finals for the world cup 2011. All blacks didn’t play very well because they only got one try. Because of Piri Weepu they could not get more points otherwise they would have thrashed France.
France played well because they had good defence and they got a try and a goal kick. The captain got the try for France and they would have won by the penalty kick but they didn’t because the kick didn’t go through. The final score was 7 to France and 8 to All Blacks.
France was shocked because they lost and they were bursting out tears but the captain was strong. The All Blacks were bursting out with happiness because they won the Rugby World Cup for 2011.
France got the silver medals and the All Blacks got the gold medals and the Webb Ellis Trophy. The All Blacks won the RWC twice now for our country.
They were singing the national anthem and went around the field waving at the supporters. It was an excellent opportunity for us to watch this game.

RWC 2011

Tuesday 25th October 2011



LI: I am learning to write an explanation.

The New Zealand All Blacks, the hot favourites of the people of New Zealand have proved that they are the best in the world in Rugby Union.
They have won five games in a row including a pool match victory over France earlier in the tournament.

On the Sunday’s finals they beat France by one point.
Thanks The All Blacks for making New Zealand proud.

Rules for playing Rugby

How to Play Rugby


LI: I am learning to write the rules for playing Rugby Union.

Rugby is popularly called "the game for animals played by gentlemen." The game is in two main forms, rugby union and rugby league, with their own ways to play. Rugby union is normally played in Europe especially England, while rugby league is popular in Australia and New Zealand.

Instructions

1. Assemble two teams of fifteen players each.

2. Start play with the defensive team kicking the ball to the offensive team.

3. Run with the ball until tackled. You may also pass or kick the ball to a team mate, but you cannot pass the ball forward.

4. Release or pass the ball if tackled. If released, the ball is open for anyone to take.

5. The game is only stopped on a rules violation, two opposing players grabbing the ball (known as a ruck or maul) or the ball going out of bounds.

6. Restart play with a scrum after a rules violation, such as a ball dropped forward or a forward pass, or a ruck or maul.

7. This is when the forwards on the team lock up in a huddle and push for the ball by kicking in backwards.

8. The ball is thrown into the scrum by someone on the team that did not commit the violation.

9. Restart play with a line-out if the ball went out of bounds, the forwards on each team line up facing each other.

10. The team that didn't knock the ball out throws it back in, and the players contest for possession.

11. A score is worth five points for a try, which is person touching the ball to the ground in the goal area.

12. A kick is then attempted through the goalposts for two extra points.

13. Score three points for a goal, by kicking the ball through the goalposts while play at a penalty.
Try playing the game. It is lot of fun.
