Breakers Re-Sign Jackson.

The New Zealand basketball team the Breakers re-signed Cedric  Jackson for the team. Cedric  Jackson came from America and he used to play for  Cleveland State . He came to play for the Breakers because he wanted to be in the Australian National League Season with some of his old team mates. Cedric Jackson spent two years at the club, winning two championships and an  MVP award. Jackson’s signing means the Breakers now have seven players on list for next season but they still have one import player spot to fill.

                                      

                  

Making Invatations

In the holidays I went to my aunt's house to help her make the invitations for my little nephew’s birthday.We sat there for hours designing them and printing them out and we finally made 64 invitations. They took ages to do. After that we made little bags with lollies,party poppers and  balloons in each for the guests.His birthday is on 26th Saturday.

Later on, we went to Dress Mart to get some new shoes,clothes and other things for the birthday, then we went somewhere else to get some decorations. When we got everything ready we delivered the invitations to everyone. We got home just before midnight , had a little feed and went to sleep.

His birthday is this Saturday and he will be coming to Ruapotaka School next week and will start in Room 1.

On Saturday morning my rugby team went to play against Suburbs red at the Avondale racecourse. Before the game we huddled up around in the circle and did some cheers.

We won 64 to nil and we made it into the A grade. My coach gave us some invitations for pizza night. At 7:00pm we went to the rugby club and me and my dad took some Domino’s pizzas there. When we got there, there were lots of people drinking and lots of us kids playing rugby on our number 1 field. We stayed and watched the All Blacks and England game.

War In Iraq

Last nights news showed a horrible war overseas in Iraq.When they were fighting there were lots of people in their buildings and they were being shot so the soldiers could use their houses as shelter. There were people running away from their homes and asking for help.

Its was really horrible because the news people were there showing us the video.

State O Origin

Last nights game was disappointing for Queensland because they lost.

Queensland and New South Wales played in Brisbane.At the game there were several fights on the field and some of them nearly got penalised .Queensland lost the game and I was sad.

While I was watching the end of the game Jarryd Hayne started to cry. “TEARS OF JOY” HaHaHa!

Next time Queensland will come back with lots of heart and energy.

My favourite team is QUEENSLAND!

Saturday Morning News

On Saturday morning I turned on the radio and it said  that the All Blacks game was on Saturday night. After that  they said that the next State Of Origin is coming up this Wednesday.When I watched the All Blacks game they had won 28 to 27.

I also heard that there were 4 guys coming to peoples’ houses in a van and knocking on peoples doors  and pretending they were plumbers but they go into your house and rob every thing.

Netball Skills We Learnt

At netball today it was pretty cool getting to learn new skills.First, we warmed up by jogging to the fence and back 3 times, We also did the ankle touch and heelflick runs.

After the warm up we each got a partner and grabbed a ball. We learnt how to do the over head pass.Our netball coach was Dona.

We also tried the fire pass which is when you roll it at another person’s ankles…

After that we had to get into 3 teams and the person in front needs to get a netball each and throw the netball through the hula hoop but the hula hoop has to stand holding down,middle and then high.We have been doing that game so we could learn our fire pass and chest pass and over head pass.The other was we had to get into a circle and pass around in a circle.

There was another that you needed to get 3 people and get into a square and passing it and the other person moves to another corner.

At the end we played a little bit of netball, it was fascinating.
