Battle Hill

Once upon a time their was a young woman by the name of Astrid her father had trained her to become a great warrior. She was feared across the land. One day she came across a town called Battle Hill. It was overrun by thieves and robbers. The leader of the thieves and robbers went by the name Rider. Rider was a Great thief, infact he was the greatest thief. He could steal anything from anyone and his friends always had his back too. That was the main reason he had become their leader. He was also very smart and strong and made great plans to steal priceless things When Astrid got there she had spotted three of Rider’s robbers robbing and old man and his wife. She knew that she could not sit back and watch an old man get robbed, she needed to do something she thought to herself. So she took the two at the back out and sweep kicked the one robbing the old man.

She had heard that the town had been overrun by robbers. So she told them to tell her where their hideout was. They had told her that there hideout was in a cave at the back of a hill. So that was where she had to go. At the hideout there were 12 men guarding the entrance to the cave and Rider was safely inside the hideout. Astrad was also smart like Rider so she created a smoke bomb to distract the guards and get them away from the entrance. Once they were gone she quietly tiptoed into the cave to find Rider in the middle of the cave. He was a sleep so she carried him out and took her to where she was camping out. Next to the beach. She was next to the beach so that people could not hear him because of the loud sound of the waves from the beach.

In the morning she stole a horse and took herself and him out of Battle Hill with. Soon Rider and Astrid fell in love and stopped doing what they were doing to take time out. Three years after that three bounty hunters were sent to retrieve Rider and bring him back to Astrid’s home village to her father policeman. But she could not let them take her love away so she put a hood on and fought side by side with the person she was there to stop. Stopping all three of those skilled killers took some time. After that they were tired and worn out. So they took time away and hide from everyone so that they could never be found. Years later they had kids who would grow up to be great warriors.

The End

The Lesson of the story is to always have your family and friends back.

Kiwi Sports

Thursday 26th May 2016

Today at Kiwi Sports we were with Ann the instructor. She told us about what we were going to do. She told us that we would be playing a game that would teach us how to keep our distants when we are defending some one. The game was called Shadow Follower. For this game you would need a partner. I was with a boy named Chris. One will have a imaginary ball in their hand and the other will be following you around. When they touch your shoulder with their hand you are to turn around and pretend you are trying to pass or shoot the ball. So that the other person can practice defending the ball and not your face.We didn't play Shadow follower fore that long because it was just to warm us up to do the other activities.

After that we played a game about intersecting and passing. You and your partner from Shadow Follower were to chose two other people to play the next game with. Two people would have the ball and the other two were to try and intersect the ball. The other two that me and Chris were playing with was my twin brother Levi and his partner Mafoa. Ann had told us not to move around but they did it anyway. She also said that you were not allowed to do over head passes.

The next activity was also about intersecting. This game didn't have a name. Four people would be in a square. And one person in the middle. There would be two people on the side. One calling out were to go to get the ball and the other trying to intercept the ball. There were four spots for us to stand on and pass the ball to the person running around. Once the person in the middle was ready we added the defender. I didn't like that game very much because the people would just keep throwing the ball at you when you were not looking at them.

At the end we played another game to do with shooting. We were split into two groups. In my group there were all boys, the was Hemi, Taki, Levi G, Lio, Miami, Chris, Moses, Levi, Levi R, Danny Joe, Dasharn and I think some other people. This game I liked. The two groups would stand on a line near the middle of the court. Then miss would give us all a number. When she called your number you were to run and get one of the two balls in the middle of the hola hoop in the middle of the two groups. Once you have the ball you give the ball to the first person in line, then they have to pass it to the entire team. While they are doing that you are to go to the goal and wait for them to be finished and shoot the ball in. If you get it in straight away that is two points if you get it in on the second time you get one point. After that we went back to class and blogged about this which is what I am doing now.

Netball Kiwi Sport

Thursday 19th May 2016

Today at Kiwi Sport a lady named Anne who taught us how to pivot in mid air. First we practiced of privets in mid air by playing at little warm up game. When the game started she told us the rules. She would call out hi five and then me and the rest of my class would run across to their partner hi five them in the middle of the court and then pivot around and run back to their original spot. If she called low five you would hi five your partner down low then run back.

After that we were warmed up and ready to play. After that she split us up into three groups. There were seven people in each group and in my group was me,Dora,Hemi,Justin,Maara,Luisa and Alfred. We were spreed down the court and I was at the top next to the netball. Now we were playing a passing game to practice our passing. At first my group was winning until she told us that we had to run three steps before the other person could pass to you and they added on pivoting.

After that we played another game she called Rugby Netball. This was our last game for the day. It was very fun. The idea of the game was like netball but you could go anywhere and if you wanted to get a goal you had to put the ball down on the in front of the line she had drawn earlier. My team had Me, Fusi, Dasharn, Lio,Levi.G, Luisa, Maara, Dora and some other kids. It was up to ten and we were wining. When she chose the team I knew we were going to win.

Science Observation

science Investigation

We are learning what plants need to survive

We are learning how plants respond to environmental changes.

What do plants need to survive?

Water

Sun

Soil/ fertilizer/ dirt

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide

We are going to conduct a science investigation to determine   what will happen to plants when their environment changes. In this assignment we will be changing the environment of each of the mint plants and the potatoes.

What will we need to make this a fair investigation?

• Lots of plants in case one fails
• Make sure they all get the same amount of sun
• Make sure they still have the other things they need to survive
• Monitor progress every few days - with pictures
• Have a “control” plant, that we do all the right things to.

Method:

• Suffocate a plant - by putting it in a container
• Stop watering a plant
• Take out the soil
• Put in the dark
• Normal plant - the control

Hypothesis: It might stay alive.

The plant I will be observing is: Mint plant.

Observation day 1:  All the plant were healthy

Observation day 3:

Observation day 7: my planet is the normal planet

Explanation: Why did this happen to my plant?

Potato Experment

Today in class were are going to be doing an experiment including potato's. we are going to see if it grows normally with light, not at all with no light or grow towards the light.

1. My hypothesis it the it will grow normal
2. My hypothesis is that it will not grow without light
3. My hypothesis is that it will grow towards the light
