Duffy Theatre


My highlight of the Duffy show was the PUZZLER, a character in Magic Bricks, that would muddle up anything Duffy or anyone would make. At the end of the show the  PUZZLER stacked the blocks on top of each other, creating 2 towers of bricks that spelt “GAME OVER”. The DISMANTLER then came along and put down her 2 construction cones. She then busted over one of the towers of blocks.

Explain Netball



Explaining Netball

08.08.19

Netball is a sport that involves positions, teams, shooting and skills.




To start off the game, split an even amount of players into fair teams. In netball there must be 2 subs off court on each players groups . You should have seven or more players each. All players must get in there positions, and wait till the whistle is blown. There are 2 centres on each team, they start the game.




The center can run anywhere on the court apart from the shooting circles. Defence players are the people who defend the other team’s shooters, they are also allowed to go into the goaling circle and a third of the court. And attack have the same restrictions. Also attack are the players who score their team’s goal, and are basically the positions who try and win the game.





There are some rules in netball that if you break them you have to hand over the ball to the other team. Obstruction is when a player is less than 1 metre near the opponent. One of the most basic rules is that you can not run or walk with the ball, otherwise that would lead to stepping. Long nails, are one of the MOST restrictions in netball. Because if your nails are too long, then you will be disqualified from the game.




I hope you have found out a lot about netball in this explaining process.

Gillian Lee Writing

Striving for the Summit 
2.07.19


In May 2019, Gillian Lee AKA an Australian Mountaineer had made his 4th attempt to climb the top of Everest, without using an oxygen tank. He had decided to travel the North Side of the Tibet Route, instead of hiking with unskilled climbers.


At 7600m, Gill began to feel ill and instantly started coughing (as he was in the death zone). Because of low oxygen, Gillian's lips were fading into blue. His Sherpa guides started realizing that he had a low chance of surviving. They tried to persuade him to make his way down from the peak, but he refused. That's when he passed out. The guides acted rapidly and began to descend from the maunga, traveling to his tent. They rushed inside, lay him down in his sleeping bag, giving him hot water bottles to warm his body. Since he was still at risk, the Sherpas decided to make a sled out of sleeping mats and his sleeping bag, to keep him toasty while they moved him down.


At 6000m they saw Chinese Rope Fixers and yelled for help. The fixers saw them in the foggy distance and helped to slowly make their way down the mountain to a yak. After a 22km journey to base camp, they called a helicopter to transport him to the Kathmandu Hospital. Gills mother was waiting and were furious about what he had done, and how he had put others in danger. He slowly started to realize what his mother was talking about. But the real question is… will he make his 5th attempt?.

Thank you letter to Isabel




Dear Isabel,

I would like to say a BIG thank you for letting my class and Te Manga go snorkelling with EMR.

The glow of my day was trying to duck dive. It was extremely hard to swim under the water, as the wet suit kept floating me up to the surface. I kept trying and trying, but never got it. At least I got to see a crowd of Parore hiding in between the seaweed and the rocks. 

Thank you again for taking us snorkelling with you at Whatuwhiwhi, that was one of my best experiences.

Yours Sincerely, 
Aanaiah


                                       

This picture took me a long time to draw the outline and colour in the small details.

Beach Education Day

My class and I were going on a trip to the Far North Surf Rescue, located in Ahipara. Everyone at the back of the bus were having a singing competition, including me. We slowly stopped, it was obvious that it was time to get off. We hopped out of the bus and walked inside the building while realizing that the demonstrators were waiting for us. The class sat down on the floor, and the team members instructed on what we should do when we are stuck in a rip and how to keep ourselves safe in the water. After that conversation, we had to pick a partner, I picked Charlize (one of my best friends). Then we practised on rescuing our partner and how to do it correctly. I hopped into the water first and pretended that I was drowning (along with the rest of the others). Charlize ran into the water with a special running technique and put the strap over my shoulder. She then dragged me back to the shore, and then it was time for Charlizes turn. She handed over the rescue props and ran into the water. It was time for me to save Charlize. SPLASH!!!, I jumped in and rushed to Charlize and grabbed the strap, carefully pulling it over her. Steadily, I walked back to the dry sand. It was time for free time!. Everyone ran into the water and swayed with the big waves.

All About Me

           I have made an "All About Me" poster. This poster tells you about my life and personality.

Moment in Time - Little Boats -

Moment in time
  - Little Boats-




VRMMM! We were off like a rocket. Brylee was ROARING! Over the top of her lungs, making my ears bleed. I was worried that we were going to sink to the bottom of the ocean and get chomped by a shark. All of a sudden, the Dolphins were on the chase, chasing us everywhere. One was getting RAMMED under the boat, and two were beside us. Then the boat started rocking, hoping that I wasn’t going to throw up. The sharp corners were making it worse. My shoes got  SOAKED at the worst moment REALLY!!. I felt like I was a ball getting thrown around the side to side. I tried my hardest to get my grip on the handles as more water came flying at my face, not knowing where the handles were. “Sorry guys the ride has to end, “ The man said. When we got off the boats, I started begging and begging for a second ride but DISAPPOINTINGLY wasn’t allowed to.
