RIPPA RUGBY

Hey Everyone, Ont the second of May, Me and 9 other kids went to a Rippa Rugby tournament. There were 5 games to play and we lost 1, drew one 1 and won 1. We even came second in our pool!!! I loved the day because it was challenging, fun and exciting. On our first game I had heaps of butterflies in my stomach and I was really cold because when I was waiting for the our game to start I had my jersey and my shoes on and that was quite warm but when the game started I had to take them off and all I had on was a pair of shorts and a Vardon School T-shirt. My feet felt like they were frozen!!!! Once the day had finished I felt sad because we did not get into the finals. Overall, The day was awesome because I did not have to do the dreaded HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY BROTHER BROKE HIS FINGER

This is the story of my brother who broke his finger during PE in school. Jack was playing American football and there was a big guy in front of him so he bowled him over and I think that jack said that the big guy landed on his finger and it broke. I'm not sure if this story is entirely true but hey who cares and the bad thing is well it is not bad for jack it is just bad for me, it is that jack know isn't allowed to write or(okay) do the dishes(WAIT WAY UNFAIR) but yay for me, it is not all sweet for him because he is not allowed to play X box for a month. So if your brother breaks something the best thing to do is ignore him.

REFLECTION ON WAR

Hey,
This is a reflection on my learning of ANZAC and war. We remember the people who fought in war because they risked their lives to save our country and they also fought for what was right. I used to think that war was just an army running at each other with guns (in a muddy place with barbwire everywhere) but now I think that it is a horrible place that IS muddy and HAS barbwire everywhere BUT war is much more than that. Sometimes people are fighting about land, power and wanting to run the country their way. I think that war is a terrible idea because people die and fighting is never the way to settle it. If one country wants another countries land they should never try to fight for it they should either make a deal with the presidant or keep their own country. Some of the things that I learnt are that living in trenches is much harder than it sounds. The soldiers that live in there have to deal with muddy grounds, going mad, and being surronded by dead bodies!! I want to find more information on the war that happened in NZ.The thing I will remember most about war is that the reason most of us are here is because of the sacrifice that the Anzac's made.

STOP MOTION!!!!!!

Do you want to slide around on your face? If you do stop motion can help you!!

Stop motion is taking lots of photos and putting it together to make a video.

To make a stop motion film you need to have a tripod for your camera, a digital camera and a computer with video editing software like Video Spin, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.


Here are the steps to make your stop motion film.
First you have to make a plan for your stop motion.
After that, make a good setting relating to your video scene (make sure it is not too sunny).
Then you have to repeatedly take photos of your actors and props but with each photo you take you must move the scene, the people and the props.
After that you have to insert the camera into the computer and put the photos you took into the video editing software.

Now you can add music and sound affects to your stop motion. You can also make the movie longer or shorter by clicking and dragging a photo to make the photo show for longer or shorter time.

Now have fun sliding on your face and promote it any way you like.

Just remember ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

LAKE KARAPIRO

The senior syndicate went on a school trip

yours,

Bailey

P.S

On Tuesday morning mostly everybody in the senior syndicate went on a school trip to the lake Karapiro dam to check out how hydro electric power works. 2 things that I learnt were that the Karapiro dam took 15 years to build and that 11 seconds of releasing water could full up 2 Olympic size swimming pools. What surprised me about the dam was when they were releasing water it went so fast. In my head I was thinking about what a great water slide it would be. Two questions I have for the dam is how do you control the dam? How do you make the gates go down or up?

Now I must leave Good bye, Good bye.

Like seriously BYE!!!!!!!!
