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.

Taniwha Vocab Sheet

This task was sort of easy because my group and I got to find the definition of the word on google.

The Trail of The Taniwha - A-Z

WALT: Use a Alphabetical A-Z Brainstorm Sheet for all the information about a Taniwha.
Reflection: The digital sheet wasn't very hard apart from finding some confusing information.

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?.

Comic Strip

WALT: Ask and answer questions in Te Reo. The purpose of this cartoon strip is to show part of my pepeha.

It was fun finding the images, but difficult to note down the correct Maori. I kept muddling the reo up in incorrect places.

Leader Ship

Me and my class have been focusing on what makes us a leader and why.

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
