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

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.

Science Experiment

Experiment

Put one spoonful of sugar into one of the bottles use the plastic funnel to guide the crystals into the bottle. Add the sugar slowly so that it does not block the neck of the funnel.

Repeat step 1, placing each of the other solids (fine sand, instant coffee granules, plain flour) in its own bottle. Now half fill each bottle with water and screw on the cap. Shake each bottle ten times.

Look carefully at each bottle to see if you can still see solid particles. Decide which solids form a solution and which solids form a suspension.
