All About Winter Sport

All about winter sport!
This winter sport season went great. I played In the netball B team the killer bees for St Francis Of Assisi Catholic School. My coach was Miss Parker she did a very good job at coaching us. In my team we had Lara, Megan, Santara, Ariella, Elsha, Cory, Sophie and me. We won four games but sadly we lost three. I missed three because I was on holiday. But it was actually two because we had to default for 1 game. Some of the challenges we faced during the season were. When it is cold it is harder to play, It is harder to play when you are marking a really tall player and finally when it is windy you throw the ball and it doesn't go in the right spot. The things I enjoyed the most about this winter sport season are. It is good to play a team sport, I get to play one of my favourite sports at least twice a week and finally it is fun getting on a bus and getting out of school for a while. Next year I think I am going to work a lot harder on my shooting and defence skills. But on the whole this winter sport season was awesome. It was so much fun and I am really looking forward to next years season.

Lovely Lego

      lovely Lego

Yesterday a girl named Rachel who works at house of bricks. She Came to our school to teach us about team building.  She gave us three challenges to accomplish. The first challenge was bridge building. The bridge had to be approximately 30 to 40 cm. It had to hold books and 2 pencil cases. You had to work with a buddy or as a trio. I worked as a trio with Frankie T and Ariella. And we won yay.

 The second challenge was tower building. The tower had to be as tall as it could possibly be. It also had to be free standing. Again you have to work with a buddy or in a trio. I worked as a buddy with Ariella. We came in second place.

 For the third and final challenge was car racing. You had to make cars out of Technic Lego blocks and  normal Lego blocks. Then when your finished building your master pieces you had to race them and see how fast and how far the went. This time you can only be in a pair. I went with Ariella Again. That day was so much fun I really hope we can do it again some time soon.

Caoimhes intelligent ideas on polar ice caps

                      

My reading follow up for week 8 ⬇

For reading this week my group read this article:  What Is a Polar Ice Cap?

The new ideas I have now I’ve read this text are:

1. Give everybody free solar panels. 2. Turn of the light when your not using it. 3. Try taking bikes or scooters to school. 4. If you see a piece of rubbish pick it up. 5. Stop buying single use plastic. 6. Start taking busses to school. 7. Try not to do things that produce greenhouse gasses.

I now better understand… That without us the Earth will not survive. The animals will die and the rising sea levels will wash us all away. We need to help this Earth because if we don't we will be equally extinct. I also now better understand what a polar ice cap is. 😃

           What do you know about polar ice caps ?

             What could you do to help reduce climate change ?

            What can you do to stop the polar ice caps melting ?

Helping the environment

                                      Erica's  visit ! 


 This week Erica  came into school and talked about saving our world and the environment. She has a website called EcoMe it's a business  that she created were you can buy eco friendly things that save all of the world. She came into school to talk about that is going into landfills. She made stainless steal straws they are to replace the old bad for the planet plastic yucky straws and they come in all cool different colours. She also made coffee cups that are also made out of stainless steal the are going to replace the old paper with plastic tops coffee cups. They come in silver and gold . She also made eco friendly bags that in the future will become a big thing in our world  they have come to replace the disgusting plastic vegetable and fruit bags that you get in the supermarket. Forever stainless steel pegs they will never rust even in the worst of snow storms rain storms and  even when a car goes over them they will never break. Stainless steal sporks they are forks and spoons put together they are for replacing those annoying plastic spoons and forks you can bring those stainless steal sporks to the mall instead of using the malls bad for the planet spoons and forks and by the way her store is called EcoMe. She made all of these things eco friendly because she is passionate about helping our planet. We too need to get in on the helping and make this world a better place.


People are already trying to help make the world a better place like in New Zealand we have banned single use plastic bags and single use plastic straws and I hope we can ban single use plastic cups. I hope that by the end of 2019 all plastic things will be gone but I don't think that will happen. And just remember you yourself ,you can help the environment even just by stopping using plastic or planting trees to stop greenhouse gasses you can even stop using your car and bike to instead that will help with the rising seas that are being caused by climate change.


                    And remember  just one person can make a huge difference in our world !

                                            What are you going to do to help our earth ?
 
                                 

A new way to travel

This is my best suw for term 1. It is called A new way to travel. I got the idea from pobble 365. It is a great website because it gets your brain working and you can write amazing storeys from it. I definitely recommend it.

A new way to travel

A new and improved way to travel invented this very week. By a London based inventor Samuel diggle. “ is that a bird, is that a plane ? no, it's the magnificent eco-friendly flying machine   the zepper 2020.  For years scientists and inventors have been striving to scratch the current global itch that is sustainable and eco-friendly energy. This could finally be it! Diggle’s new creation is not only cheap to construct, but Riley's solely upon natural energy sources. When interviewed yesterday morning on international television, Diggle delightedly spoke of his invention. “I believe I really am the most extraordinary man on the planet my invention will change the way people travel, and change the way the world works. Sustainable energy reduced carbon emissions and cleaner travel I am very proud of myself and certainly can't wait to see people using the zepper 2020 in their everyday lives”. Only time will tell weather diggles self-proclaimed brilliance is indeed brilliant. 10 years later … “broadcasting live from the zepper 2020 air force air port. The zepper 2020 is going to take its first flight all the way with no stops, from Auckland (new Zealand) to Alaska ( USA ), that's air force news, back to you Stacy & chuck”. 3 2 1 blast off and the zepper 2020 was on its way to Alaska With no stops do you think it will crash yes or no ?.  “were half way the engine is stopping what is happening” yelled the captain. “Go Go faster” exclaimed the vice captain. The zepper 2020 fell out of the sky like an egg to fall of a spoon on an egg and spoon race. It fell into the sea with a big splash never to be seen again. Only one person survived her name was Emma Watson she was only 8 years old at the time.  She swam over to a near buy island  it was Alaska she made it there safely. She looked back, the zepper 2020 had sunk never to be seen in all eternity. She was sad because 99 people died, but she was a little bit happy because she survived she told the world about it, and became a world famous actor.

Winter sport win

                                                     Winter sport 

   On Thursday we did winter sport. Winter sport is were you do sport with your school only the Senior part of your school gets to go. There is Netball, hockey, football and rugby I play Netball and my second choice was football.


My team is called the killer bees that is the year five and six b team for netball our coach is the wonderful Miss Parker. We won eight six against st Anne's year five and six b team they were very pushy. The people in our team the killer bees are Caoimhe, Ariella, Sophie, Megan, Elsha, Cory, Lara and Santara there are eight of us. The other team had outstanding d but we had amazing A. They were tall and hard to beat but we still bet them. It was very hard to get a goal because of the terrible wind and rain. In-fact the wind was so bad that there was leafs flying in our faces the hole In-tier game.  It was probably one of the most coldest netbal, games I have ever had and this is my third year playing netball and at times it can be really freezing.
