🎯Archery

I grew up in a family of aiming and shooting. This year i'm going to participate in the Olympics. I’ve been training not only to win but to be proud of the country i'm representing. I’ve been practicing and training my hardest. I'm going to be representing my lovely country called France.

I was interested in the sport when my dad taught me when i was only seven. Even my great aunts, uncles, grandma, grandpa's had been in the archery event ever since the 19th century.

Its an unique sport with unique athletes. The number one athlete i look up to is Ugo Legrand.

The events going to be taking place in Rio janeiro. I’m going to be competing in the under 20 events. The tournament is going to be held in Sambodromo. My team has been training so hard to be better than before. There will be over 20 nations worldwide. Our country won only 23 medals and 14 certificates showing great team work. Our team went to the airport to Rio😐.

We said our goodbyes 😢 but promised to come home with a medal. When we got there we all took snaps on snapchat and had fun looking at the statue of jesus. I took as much photos as I could before our last week of training

Can’t Wait Till Saturday!!😁

My Speech On Littering

My Topic: Littering 

There I was sitting at my desk thinking of a speech topic until I saw some-one walking past with a piece of rubbish., then the word littering popped into my head. The students in R11 came up with a lot of speech topics. We all had fun listening to one another's speech. In my speech I said that over 100,000 sea mammals die every year because of someones laziness and the most littered item are cigarette butts. My time was about 2 minutes and 55 seconds. 
The finalists are... Sebastian, Meafou, Samuel and MinZin.

Close Sugar -The Additive Murderer

The sugar that we eat is a murderer. Studies show that in 2005 we ate roughly about 20 times more sugar than in the 1700’s, and, if that’s not bad enough the average American eats around 38.967 kgs of sugar a year. That’s just about my body weight, in sugar!

Fruit sugars or (fructose) are one of the best types of sugar because it gives you more energy than refined sugar and your body can’t get all the sugar out of the fruit so it’s not too bad. The sugar in milk, (unless added), is not great for you but milk is healthy with all of its, iron and vitamins.

Another New Year (Matariki)

Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Māori New Year. Traditionally, it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new life. In the 21st century, observing Matariki has become popular again. Heaven-bound kites, hot-air balloons and fireworks help mark the occasion. Traditionally Matariki means the time to remember those who had died in the last year.

Matariki literally means the ‘eyes of god’.

Cuddly Toy Lost In Space

A group of kids are searching for a toy dog launched into space. As part of a science project, the pupils from a school in Lancashire used a giant helium balloon to see if they could send Sam the Dog, a cuddly toy, to the edge of space.

They strapped Sam onto his spacecraft, along with a GPS tracker and a GoPro camera to capture the action. However, the problems began during his descent. The balloon popped and Sam’s spacecraft plummeted to Earth, landing over 50km away from the launchpad. The GPS and camera were there, but Sam was nowhere to be seen.

Waitangi At The Wharf

For Waitangi Day (Saturday ) my family and I went to the North cote to celebrate the special day. As soon as we got there I jumped out of the car to see where we were. It turned out to be the wharf at Little Shoal Bay. The wharf has a lot of shells around it and it was really hot. I jumped in anyways.

Touch rugby for term 4!

What I'm really looking forward to this term is to play some touch rugby.

 the reason why I'm looking forward to this is because touch rugby is my second choice game for me to play with others. I'm looking forward to learning new skills in touch. Touch rugby is the main thing on my mind for this term. If I had the choice to pick rugby or touch it would be obviously be touch rugby.

Technology devices have helped kids escape from the real world to the online world. A technology device is the first step to be on the internet, the internet is a fun place to go to and to be at and sometimes it could be dangerous as well, you can do a lot of fun things on the net. But technology can really affect a child’s life. A child with a technology device can spend as much time as that child wants to, and that can affect the human body’s brain.
