Rugby League

The Junior Warrior League Tournament

In term 3 week 10 most of the seniors (Room 7,9 &10) had walked up  the Glenbrae School field to be taken in interest for Rugby League. There was more exciting news Room 8 sort of participated in rugby league by cheering us on!

Firstly, the year 6’s started the game off. There were the two finalist’s, they had played against each other. Surprisingly the Warriors won (their team name).After the year 6’s game, the year 7’s were up for the same challenge. Unfortunately a team lost which was New South Wales.

Next, there was one more game that one looked like a real competition, it was the year sevens again. When that game was finished, we went to the hall and celebrated our success in for games. During that some people got picked for rewards like, a rugby ball with the Warriors signatures, a Warrior's bag,a drink bottle and sweat head band.  Room 9 and part of room 10 got a special bag that had all the special items in it. After everyone got their special rewards, it was Kiwi Can’s share, they made Room 9 and 10 a BBQ. It was yummy, because there were sausage sizzles, fruit punch & some chips. Finally, it was lunch, we ate our food and decided to go and play. After our playing time the school bell had rang, but some students decided to stay and eat more!

I enjoyed the whole day and I even asked our Kiwi Can leaders if I could have some more snacks.

Nelson Mandela Story Review

Nelson Mandela

On July 18 1918, a beautiful baby boy was born in the Eastern Coast of Africa in Mvezo. His name was Nelson Mandela. When Nelson was nine, his father tragically died and during that time Nelson was raised by royalty.  He was the first member in his family to attend school.

Later on in life, he became an Activist with the African National Congress. Knowing that he had the power of the young ones, he had made a African National Congress Youth League. In 1952 Nelson Mandela had lead the Defiance Campaign and in the 1955 Congress of the people. Soon after that a shocking news came. Nelson Mandela was  charged for high treason against the Government. He was charged with 155 other activists. Soon they were acquitted.

In 1962, he was arrested since he had been on the run for 17 months. He went to Robben Island in Africa, which was the jail. 27 years later, Nelson was released from the jail.

Afterwards, Nelson Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for ending Apartheid. Nelson Mandela  then became the  president of South Africa on May 10th 1994, but in 1999 Nelson had stood down from being the president of South Africa.  

Some years later, on December 5th, 2013, Nelson Mandela  sadly passed away after a long illness. Nelson Mandela  was dedicated to ending global poverty and helping to end wars and conflicts throughout Africa. He was also known as Madiba, which meant the Father of the Nation.

So back to the subject & more information about my topics. Meeting the Silver Ferns (only some of them) was amazing they are well respected & have very highly skills for netball, my favorite Silver Ferns players are : Just kidding I don’t favorites I like all of them.

Fast and Furious 7

After leaving international London-based terrorist Owen Shaw fighting for his life, the team returns to their normal lives, but they later find out that one of their friends, Han has being murdered, Mia and Brian's house bombed, the team has to find out is trying to destroy their family. Later they find out that Shaw has a big brother out for revenge. A  government officer in the name of Mr Nobody offers to help them if they help track down a kidnapped computer hacker to find her powerful surveillance program.

I really liked this movie, especially because it was a tribute to Paul Walker (Brian O'Conner) who died in 2013 because of a car crash. The franchise still wanted this movie to happen for Paul, so they asked his brothers Cody and Caleb Walker to continue playing him. 

The cast includes Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Rhonda Rousey and Ludacris, among other actors.

Pan

I haven't watched this so I... Here it is!!
