A.F.L Effective Writing.

On a normal not perfect Wednesday when the clock struck 9.40 am off we went walking to the hall getting ready for A.F.L. A.F.L. means (Aussie Football League). Each week we learn at least 2 or more skills in our A.F.L. section.

Walking in, the footballs that were laying on the ground caught my attention. I knew we were going to have fun and some people would eventually get sweaty, and when I say sweaty I mean really sweaty just like they have just finished having a shower. And that was meaning boys.

The skills we have learned was,

1. Speckie

2. Handball

3. The Bounce

4. Ruck

5. Chest Mark

6. Hand Mark.

After we played a game. We had to be splited up  into two groups called Rats and Rabbits. Then it got splited  again into now on four sides. They were still Rats and Rabbits. On one side Rabbits started with two footballs and on the other side Rats  started with the ball. With had to work as a team to eliminate the other team. We had to use the skill Handball. Unfortunately Rabbits lost by 1 under and Rats won!! A.F.L. has been so fun this term. We still have one more section to go but it will be amazing. :)

Samoan Language Week!

This week is Samoan language and we celebrated it today at our school in our hall. We started of as normal (greetings), then we had national anthem but there was a twist it wasn't just the normal New Zealand anthem we also sang the Samoan National anthem.

Then came our first performance bought by the Teuila Preschool kids singing and dancing for us. One of our school student named Sereinty said a Samoan prayer then along came another school student named Christian who said a Samoan speech.

After the speeches along came the school's Samoan dance group. They performed their siva (dance) and off they went. Then the spotlight awaited for our special guest performance the Tamaki College Samoan Dance group. After they shined the end was about to come.

So before we it came to an end we firstly sang a Samoan prayer song then closed the celebration of the Samoan language week with a prayer. And that was our Samoan Language week celebration. Thanks :)

Weekly Quiz (Steven Adams)

Steven Adams is one of our New Zealand professional basket ball player.He is recently playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association. Steven is 2.13 cm tall.

And did you know that Steven Adams has 18 siblings and half siblings plus him. One of his biggest hits in his life was losing his beloved dad
in 2006. In a 2012 interview, Adams : When I lost my dad, that was a big hit for me. I didn't have that parental guidance, and I kind of took advantage of it because I was a stupid idiot. I decided not to go to school a couple of times, go when I felt like. I always lied to my brothers and sisters. They'd ask: 'Are you going school?' I'd say 'yeah.' They eventually found out.

Explanation (Sound)

Have you ever thought about what the world would be like without sound. I think it would be boring and silent. It would be like losing something very special because sound is very special in our lives. We use sound as a way to communicate and to listen to music.

Sound is made by anything but how does your brain know it is sound. Sound is a vibration. As it’s vibrating the air molecule bounce of then hits in your ear drum and then converts and goes into your brain and then your brain notices it is sound.

What makes sound different? It makes it different by the pitch. Pitch is high and low sound. They are different volumes. You know that the pitch is high when the sound waves are small. And how you know what the low pitch is when the sound waves are big.

There is no sound in space. Because the is no air for the air molecules to make sound. So in space there is no sound cause no air for air molecule to be able to make sound.

So without sound in this world would be wired, different, boring and quiet. I think sound is a big part of our lives.

Echolocation!

Echolocation is the way that some animals like bats, whales and dolphins communicate, navigate and locate their prey.. They use a high pitched sound to tell detect what is ahead or what is coming their way. They use it as a way to see. It is a really intelligent way of communicating.

Echolocation helps you locate and navigate. It helps for animals to find their prey.

Have you ever heard about a teenage boy named Ben. Ben is a human boy who uses echolocation. Yeah! AT the age of 2 he was diagnosed with blindness.
