Future Aspirations

As Team 5 walked into the Street they had a good line up of speakers getting ready to speak. Mr.Andrew Patterson had never missed a Future Aspirations before, in term 2 he had a good line up of speakers and they were exceptional.





The first speaker was Anthony Samuels, who everybody in the intermediate block knew. He had a very good topic to talk to us about. He started to talk about his early life and how he started to entertain, and the rest of his life. In the early 90’s he started a job as a entertainer \ n what now and became the longest running producer in the What Now! Company. He was kind of a clown while we were looking at his photos back then, and he told us one quote which stated “Your past does not have to determine your future”





Up next as the 2nd speaker was my dear friend Paula Fakalata, he told us about his life & when he almost died. It all started when he was at school, he went to Glen Innes School. When he was little he thought he was the man at swimming but really.... When he would race he’d get tired and because he was very tall at a young age he’d act like hes swimming but hes walking.

Then one day he went to a tournament and almost drown, because the pool was too deep for him




Then it was the last one Her name was Amelia Unufe. She talked about how she became a fashion designer. She was in university and kids her class knew her they said to her ‘’ You're not gonna get a good future” because of her brother seted a bad reputation for her family




Overall Paula, Amelia & Anthony were very good i enjoyed it alot

Kabaddi

Kabaddi is a contact sport which is originally based on wrestling, which formerly came from India. The game had its first international world cup in 2010 which was held in Punjab, India. This game came from the attack and defence from the youth of pakistan.




The skills needed for this game are: Agility, Aggression, Speed, Defence, and most importantly strength. The game is played by two teams, the raiders(One who enters into the court of the opponent with the cant is known as a ‘RAIDER’. The raider must begin his cant before he touches the opponent’s court.) and the catchers (the people from the opposite team who will attempt to tackle or bring down the opponent, if tug by the raider).




Each team will have a maximum of 10-12 players, but with 7 remaining on the playing surface. The playing time will be split into 10min halves. If the catcher gets tug then the raider has to try and run away in order to not get ground impounded on the ground or they may be put into a submission maneuver.

D.L.O About Me!!

Marvel Superhero's

As you know I am writing about the Marvel Superhero's. These character's that I have drawn are the main people I am going to talk about. Starting with Hulk, as you can see Hulk is the big bulky green monster that cannot talk, he is in the movie Avenger's he looks strong but in the movie he cannot carry Thor's Hammer. Now Superman he is by far my favourite Superhero he seems like the strongest he is sometimes weak, his weakest spot is his chest because it's just his weakest area.

Spiderman I know he wasn't in the Avengers because I think if he was in the Avengers he would die like 2 minutes in to the movie!

My State Of Origin Presentation

If you click on the 2nd slide the Greg Inglis photo is in Full screen.

Stardome.

“ARRHHHHH” avoiding the poop stepped into it and it didn’t know, Logan told me and my reaction was so YUCKKYY!!.

One Tree Hill!! I said to Esrah “there’s no way I am walking up there again, but I did. Half way me and Evan touched the fence and pretended that it was an electric. It was funny. Seeing everything from the top was solid. People were saying “Thats my house it was really funny”. I was planking.

We went down to the crater I slipped it was embarrassing because it was a lot of times. Wyatt gave me a marshmallows and I was saying it was a Twinkie and Isara said “I’m telling on you that your eating lollies” but no I wasn’t.

When we arrived at the crater we all slid down on our bottoms and mine was all green because of the grass and dirt. I hated when we had to run back up when we wanted to roll back down or slide. The Stardome was the main part as our trip. We entered Stardome there were heaps of artifacts shown around the place, our tutor was a lady called Petra we entered a theater with a Stardome roof like a round stomach we were watching a cardboard box rocket ship. They went around all the planets Jupiter had a storm a big one and they had to quickly get out of their. We headed back to school, really exhausted.

Cross Country

Waiting with excitement for our cross country race, I was jumping up and down like a crazy monkey in the jungle. It was the 10 year old boys turn to run. Mr Burt said “On your marks, get set go”. I sprinted as fast as I could and I was coming first but sadly Lorenzo and Wyatt dashed past me like Sin Cara from The WWE. I could hardly see them, they were fast.

Eventually I ran on to the bridge where Ms Squires was right in front of me taking pictures of us. I tried saying “Hi Ms” but I was to fatigued to say anything. A quarter of the way I really thought that I was going to collapse. The track was so rocky.

While Anthony was jogging past me he caught up to Lorenzo and Wyatt. As soon as I rounded a corner this man said “Guess what your half way”. I felt like I was blessed.

Suddenly one of the shells nearly tore my shoe at the bottom. Luckily I've got shoes on." I thought to myself. Finally we turned around for the last stretch at the reserve near Tamaki College’s Technology hall.It was so rocky it felt like I was running on a desert.

Coming up through the bush onto our school field Hossana, Marvin and I had a foot race. We were all running as fast as we could but I only came second so I was so disappointed. I said “Flip I wish I came first” Marvin interrupted “It’s not about winning you know, it’s just about having fun and you should be proud that you completed the race”. I could now finally say “Hi Ms”.

NRL Queensland My favorite player

My favorite team is Queensland and my best Queensland star is Jonathan Thurston and Greg Inglis they've been my favorite players ever since 2009 and now I have heaps of poster of them.

One of my best friends are Esrah, Fauea and Aidan Esrah's been since me and Esrah were in Rm11.And Me and Aidan we have been friends since this year. And me and Fauea have been friends when he was in rm11 last year.

Immersion Assembly

As Mr Burt casually walked into the hall, he had a Darth Vader mask and costume on. I said to my friend “Wow I wonder what our topic is this term”.Then as Mr Burt said “Bigger Better Stronger Faster,” I thought to myself. "What is “Bigger Better Stronger Faster?”
“Give it up for Team 3” Mr Burt announced. While they were entering the stage, mad scientists had an enormous beaker and they were tossing in a multitude of ingredients. Then out exploded Miss Walters as foaming soap. When they were about exit they did a little rap, rapped by Miss Lavakula. As they exited the stage they exited funny.

Shayne Anzac Holiday

During the school holidays I spent the first Saturday at Westfield Downtown. To get there I had to train to town with my 22 year old brother Bruce.We rushed out of the houses, forgetting about my sister , to get to the Panmure train station. On the way to the train station my brother stopped at the Westpac ATM . I was surprised that he pulled out $100.“Hurry Up we’re going to be late” I said furiously. As we were running with my heart pumping hard. I was trying to think positively that we were going to make it. Finally we got there. “Yes Bruce.” I said relieved. We made it in time to catch the train to Britomart.
After a long train ride, my brother and I energetically rushed out of the train, into the bus to Westfield. My brother said, “WHEW we’re the luckiest people on the globe.”
With the bus stopping opposite Westfield, we crossed the road and entered the Mall. Unexpectedly my brother gave me $50. We made a plan. Our plan was we get 1hour to look for something to get and then we meet up at Tank to get a drink and a feed from the Foodcourt.
So I went to Hallensteins to get me a shirt and Skinny Jeans for my cousin for his birthday. “Yes they’re on special” I said. They were $10 each so already that was $20 wasted.
Nervously I jogged to Hannah's, thinking I was running out of time, to buy some pulp shoes to go out to nice places. I bought some dark brown ones then I ran back to Tank. I had $5.50 left so I bought a drink . My brother turned up 10 minutes later. Exhausted from all that shopping I had a last sip just as my 16 year old sister turned up coming from the train. “What did I miss” she said. We all giggled. We had something to eat together and that was the end to a happy day.

Rugby

The Playing surface is 100m long and has a try line on each side and a goal post on. On your directional sides have a side line witch if one player steps out of bounds there's a line out. The teams have two category's known as backs and forwards the forwards are the strong men who pack in to scrums preform line-outs and who form ruck's to keep position of ball, The backs a the sleek faster running players and are the men who preform set plays and the scoring attempts. So after a team scores points theres a kick off after each time.When theres a knock on theres a scrum or a penalty they could either pick a Punt, Kick at goal,Run, or a scrum. The team that revives the penalty will normally go for a kick at goal if there close to the goal post, but if there not they would go for a punt to gain more yards.

Rugby Scrum

A scrum is formed when a team has been awarded a penalty for an illegal straight kick out of bounds from a kick off or a penalty for offside. If one team has a choice to pick they would usually go for the punt to gain more yards or sometimes they would go for a scrum.If the opposition wins the ball in a scrum the opposition might get a free kick. If the opposition collapses the scrum the team that got awarded the penalty would have to form another scrum.

Hydroslide at Swimarama

As I was walking up the steep steps I heard an anticipation of echoing voices as people were making there way down the hydro slide.With full excitement it was my turn on the hydro slide Mr.Somerville gave me a hard push down the hydro slide then when the green light shined then I turned around as quickly as I could so could go head first then I hit my head on the side of the slide.Then I saw the light and I said “Thank lord for such a hydro slide” then a big giant puddle of water came on me and laughed.Then I went back up for another turn.

Skating

As I entered the rink I started to wibble and wobble. Moving precariously I clutched on to my friend so I didn't fall over. Then skillfully then I tried skillfully swerving around my friend so we didn't collide together. With a sudden stop in front of him I .So when I wibbled and wobbled again I confidently said “come on Shayne you can do it”.After that got a fright then ,I fell down and I started to laugh.Then I helped my self up and sang “believe it or not I'm walking on air I never thought I could be so free” then I fell down again.

Picnic

Coming to school with excitement,I thought to myself why am I running to the hall hoping that we would go straight away. But no we didn’t because Mr. Burt was giving us some information about the rules. After that we went off to the pt England reserve (it’s a beach.)

When we got there, Mr. Burt told us the aloud to play in. I went to look for people down in the beach. My friends Marvin ,Piriniah and Anthony were having morning tea. Then we went back to then I went to baseball but we started making playing t-ball. When we saw the kids swimming we went to eat our lunch because I didn’t bring our togs.

The whole time I was talking finally it was day to remember so we went back to our class room to get our bags. And then we went home.
