Is there really something in the water????

On July the 22nd the start of term 3 school started. The topic for Term 3 is there's something in the water or He mea i roto i te wai. It was all about the sorts of creature that is in the sea.

Team 1 teachers presented a video about S.O.F.A which stands for solutions for animals. First S.O.F.A got a call from somebody, saying they were worried about the sea creatures or sea animals at the Pt England Reserve. So S.O.F.A got into their
car and technically flew to the Pt England Reserve. Soon S.O.F.A arrived at the reserve and drove into the water. They spotted sea animals like dolphins, stingrays, fish, whales, and jellyfish.

The Team 2 teachers, Ms Telso, Miss Moran, Mrs Carter and Ms Gaston presented a video of them. The video was about how they walked all the way down to Tahuna Torea Reserve. They fed the ducks on the grass then they followed a path and carried on walking. As they were walking they used there magnifying glass and looked around. Soon they came to pass a giant pohutukawa tree, they had a look at the tree and carried on walking. A few minutes later they walked to the beach and started looking at the shells and rock pools.

When Team 3 Teacher presented there video it was all about a girl who was tired of keeping the moana and awa nice and clean. So she went on a journey to see who could help her. After a while along came sea creatures who asked to help her but she said no for very good reasons. There was more in the video but that's all I have to say. What the video is trying to say is keep our seas and rivers clean as it could become polluted and the world and become a different place.

The Team 4 teachers also presented a video at assembly. In the video they went down to the Pt England Reserve. They talked about plankton, muscle, crabs, and seagulls. Ms Parrant also explained, what all these sea creatures eat. The muscles eat the plankton the crabs eat the muscles and the seagulls eat the crabs but what eats the seagulls.

Team 5 ( the best team ) always does a life stream. They sang a song on what Cell an all that sort of stuff is and what it means. BTW there song was so amazing it was so catchy and a very heart bumping song. Here at team 5 our team main focus is on science, because in college that is a subject and we have to know as much as we could to make life easier.

WHAT’S CRICKET?

                                                                 WHAT’S CRICKET?

Cricket is a sport that is normally played during summer. Cricket is a sport that includes a bat and a ball and other equipment..

What is Fielding?
Fielding is very simple. When the bowler bowls and the batter hits it you are to stop the ball from going to a boundary. If you catch the ball the batter is out. You can also stop them by getting more points by diving for the ball or just stopping it from going over the boundary. Fielding is probably the easiest position in cricket.

What is Batting?
Batting is just hitting the ball and trying to get as much runs as you can. For an example if you hit it into the crowd that will be a six if it is over the boundary that will be a four. There are different techniques on how to hold and hit with a bat. Batting could be very hard if you are to face a very hard bowler. A batter also wears helmets and leg pads and other stuff to keep them safe because the ball is very hard.

What is Bowling?
Bowling can be a bit a bit hard because you can get a few wides and that will be points off your team which can be disappointing. There would be a line in the middle of a ball , to make the ball have more grip. The Ball is very hard so if it hits you , you can get a big fat bruise. Which is why you wear the safety stuff.

CONCLUSION!!!!!!!!!!!

So that’s all my tips for you hope you enjoyed it and I hope it would be very useful. Thats all I have for you today.
