2010 Reflection

Finally
the week has come. After days and days of waiting,its come to an end.
Its the last week of school,every childs favourite week. But I am going
to miss school,especially all the hard work i did for my school work


One
theme that was hard but a bit awesome was writing. Looking back at term
1s writing and looking at it now,makes me feel proud. My writing has
really improved from last time and I’m really happy.

The
next theme is maths, my favourite subject. Each term we have been
learning some thing different,which helps us kids out a lot. Well it has
really helped me out!(I am at the level AM which is a year 7 grade)

What
has been the most awesome thing to do this year was going to camps.
Especially Camp Bentzon,it was the hardest camp,well for me it was.
Mostly because I came home with scraps and scratches all over me. But
camps help us to learn things that we need to.

I
think the 2010 year at Pt England school has been pretty cool,to be
honest. Ive enjoyed this year. Lets see what next year has installed for
us?

A Great Time To Bomb

It was the second day of our camp and we had been tremendously tired from our adventures,until the favourite event by far was about to happen happen. The wonderful day of,BOMBING OF THE WHARF AT KAWAU ISLAND!!!It was heaps of fun. All of my friends were laughing but bombing at the same time. Everyone enjoyed the time that they had bombing and swimming. It was like a favourite thing to do.

But now that we have gone back to school,I wish that we had not left in the first place. That place is AWESOME!!!I cannot wait to go back to Kawau Island,well hopefully I do

Thrilling Grand Final

With over 80,000 people in a stadium screaming and chanting the names of the grand finalists, out they came. With seismic roars from the crowd the St George Illawarra Dragons take on the Sydney Roosters in what will be a memoric battle.

BRRR! The kick off was made and the possession went to the Dragons. After a while, the Dragons came out on top as Mark Gasnier perfectly timed his run off Jamie Sowards kick and he had got the Dragons on the board. With Jamie converting the goal beautifully the score was settled at 6-0.

All of a sudden thunder struck at the dragons when Rooster players Braith Anasta and Mitch Orbison scoring for their team. Unfortunately for the roosters Todd Carney was having a bad day missing both goals. So when the half time hooter sounded, the advantage went to the Roosters leaving the score at 8-6

I think that the star so far is Braith Anasta. The Roosters captain has been focusing on the ball and eyes are sharp locking on to the target like a sniper assassin. That is mostly why he scored that try that he got. If he keeps this up the Roosters may have a chance of beating St George.

The second half begins and the Roosters career ends. With in the time limit the Dragons Jason Nightingale scores a double in the corner. Thunder has just struck in the same place and a pumped up Soward converted it all. Then a penalty was awarded to the Dragons from Jared Waera Hargrave jumping into a tackle too late. So yet again Soward converts and the score was 20-8.

It gets worse for the Roosters when Nathien Fien and Dean Young score and in the 70 minute mark. There was no way the Roosters could catch up. Especially with Soward yet again doing his job kicking the goals over. The fulltime hooter sounded with a Dragons victory over the Roosters. Finally after 35 years the Dragons claim the win at the grand final.

What a good season for the Dragons. They came from Just missing out last year to the winners of the grand final. But my most interesting thing was the Roosters and how they made it to the glory. Last year they were the wooden spoon winners(Last Place) and now they are second and missed out by a gun shot. Ohh well that was an impressive victory for the Dragons.

How Polynesians came to New Zealand

Polynesians came to New Zealand following signs that you will se in the movie. Its all about what polynesians did to survive and what they used to guide them to the place we know as Aotearoa which stands for land of the long white cloud. They say that because a long cloud came over New Zealand.

A painful school run

“Urrgh”I groaned as I slumbered out of bed,waking up to an unpleasant idea”Cross Country.I thought I was going insane. When I had reached the school,I moaned”OhhNoo!!!!I FORGOT MY SICK NOTE””. I just have to man up and do it,but a feeling of pain came over me just thinking about cross country.

Fortunately I looked at the weather thinking it was about to rain. Suddenly a shock of suprise came when I saw everyone in lines dressed in 4 colours of blue,green,yellow and red. So I lined up in my team line Te Arawa and moaned even more when it was going from oldest to youngest.

I was really nervous and apprehended about this race:What if I collap....”before I could finish my sentence,a big clap of thunder from two blocks of wood started the race. I just jogged but seemed to to be coming fourth.Things started geting better until we passed the first tree,then I was dead last,behind everyone.This was a nightmare.I dont want to be known as a slow boy who never tries. That thought kept me motivated.

Out of nowhere I was halfway through the coarse,but out of the 50 competitors I was coming 25th.”Only 25 more competitors to go,until I come first”.I felt like I was Usain Bolt but even faster than him. By the time I passed the 3 quarter mark of the race,I was 4th.So proud of myself I caught up to the top 3 racers.

It was a sprint to the finish. I got past third and second,just one more to beat. Could I make it or not?Just five metres away.Come on you can do it. The crowd went as wild as zoo animals on the loose. Zoom!!.What a finish. Checking it on a slo mo replay,it shows that my foot reached the line before my competitor.

I was happy but also reluctant.By passing the finish line with so much pressure on me, I said”Ohh Noo I forgot I had asthma”.I was choking like a snake wrapped tight around a mans neck.But suddenly I realized I didnt have asthma.By that thought I awoke from my dreams.”Urrghhh!!!!Whats today”.”CROSS COUNTRY NOOOOO!!!!!!.

Israel Folau

Israel Folau is a talented player that is 21 years of age. He used to play for the cheating team that everyone knows as Melbourne Storm,but moved to my former best team the Brisbane Broncos. He also plays for the almighty Queensland. His height is unbelievable for his age. His strength and shear force would be enough to stop a raging bull from running at him. He is centre, which has a jar full of speed and agility. He is one of my favourite players because he always finds a way to get over the try line even if he has to step,swerve and bump his way.

Moving from the Melbourne Storm was a good idea because if he stayed with them for a little bit longer,he would not have been able to compete for the NRL Telstra Premiership for a year. Which would of stunk badly. He is one of the centres that I admire. He is mighty and he is ISRAEL FOLAU!!!!!

Warriors vs Sharks

The Warriors hope to keep their dreams alive as they travel down to Shark Park to challenge the Cronulla Sharks. The Warriors have been on a two week losing streak and wish to regain there win streak. As the crowd goes wild,both teams come out with a fire inside their soul.

BRRRRRR!!!The siren sounded as the kick off was made. Warriors retained the ball and were driving to the try line to get the early lead. It was a mumble jumble for the ball but finally the Warriors had enough,with their great centre Brent Tate scoring from the kick off Maloney to get the Warriors on the board. Warriors 6 Sharks 0.

All of a sudden Nathan Gardner had made a break through the defence line of the Warriors and offloaded to the all mighty Trent Barret to score his first try of the night and conceed the goal. The score level was now tied. Around the 30th minute,the hooker Aaron Heremia stepped his way through Shark Defenders and offloaded to a powered James Maloney who had scored and kicked the conversion.

Then Joel Moon made another break.Out of nowhere the speed of Nathan Gardner kicked in. Joel Moon tried to beat Nathan but failed,which made me go WHAT!!! He should of went forward and gained more metres.When Manu had been given the ball,the ref blew his whistle to an entitled high tackle. Before halftime,James Maloney yet again,kicks the goal to go into half time with the score at 14-6.

James Maloney has been having a great kicking game. Admired by his kicks,I knew he remembered to bring his kicking boots to the field and not leave them at home. By not yet missing a goal,he brought the Warriors a sigh of relief because if he missed,the Sharks could have easily backfired and brought the pressure to the Warriors.

Second Half here we come. With the kick off from the Warriors,the Sharks had finally got the ball and could try to do something. But the Warriors defence was too strong and yet again,scored again with another kick from Maloney into the hands of Sharks winger Blake Ferguson and nearly touching the edge of the finger tips of Manu Vatuvei. The ball almost went over the Sharks dead ball line until Joel Moon reached his hands out and scored. They took the footage to the video referee and it was a benefit of the doubt try.

As you know James kicks it again. Then the Warriors had put more pressure on the Sharks with the passes all the way to the youngster Bill Tupou to score his first International try. James Maloney yet again converting the goal,to make the score 26-6. Then again Bill Tupou scores in the corner and Maloney converts which then made the score 32-6.

Suddenly the Sharks strike back with a thunderous try. The kick was stabbed along the ground. Bill Tupou tried to recover the ball but failed and lead the Sharks winger to score and Trent Barret to miss. I was relieved to see that Barret missed because you never know when someone could come back in a game like this.

Finally Shark fans were cheering for their team as they score in the 60th minute. But after the incident,all bad memories of Bill Tupou dropped,after receiving an intercept pass by Trent Barret which lead the youngster to score a hatrick(three tries). Sadly Maloney had dropped the magic on his boots and missed by a sharp edge. Late in the game with only 2 minutes to go, Maloney regained his magic and retained his teams hope but to kill the Sharks dreams with an on target drop goal.

As the end siren sounded,Warriors supporters and the Warriors were cheering and celebrating from their win over the Sharks. The Sharks at Shark Park in Australia have been Cronullified
