Every Thursday this term at 9:30 our class had a Tennis Session and Marcelle is our instructor.
This morning Mr Harris took us to the courts for our tennis session. When we got there Marcelle told us to get a racquet and tennis ball each. Then we had to warm up by bouncing the tennis ball on our racquet then every one had to find a partner to practice our skills with. After we finished warming up Marcelle told us to get in groups of four or five and line up next to the net because we were just about to have a tournament. The first group we challenged was Feki,Tyler,Chelsea and Jordan.They beat us four nil, We stayed on the same net because we lost our first game. Next we challenged Racheal, Cruz, Sione and Joe, we beat them and the score was four to three. Our last group to challenge was David,Tamati,Tyler R and Adain,we beat them four nill. We made it in the final but the rain ruined it. My group was Helen, Havea, Hossanah and me,I had heaps of fun in our class tournament.

Thanks to Jonty and Ervin.

Romania

In Room 19 this term we have been studying a country that is in the Rugby World Cup 2011,
I have learnt about Romania. Unfortunately, they did not qualify for the quarter-finals.

“Hello father, can I ask you some questions about Romania?”
“Why not son, go on, so what is your first question?”
“Who is the president in Romania?”
“Is it Jovan Damjovanic?”
“That is correct dad. Now we are onto the next question. Who is the best player in the Romanian rugby team?”
“Gaberial Brezioanu.”
“Nice work, Dad. Next, what is the international dish in Romania?”
“That is easy salmai.”
“What is the continent of Romania?”
“The continent of Romania is Europe.”
“Your going great dad.”
“Oh thank you.”
“Next what is the capital city of Romania?”
“Bucharest.”
“And you got that question right. Next, what is the population of Romania.”
“mmmm....that is quite hard, I will have to guess is it 24 000 000?”
“Good work you, next question is what things do Romania celebrate?”
“BESTFEAST”
“And your last question is what are the colours of the Romania rugby team uniform?”
“The Romanian rugby jersey is blue, yellow and red and there shorts are blue.”
“Nice work dad your got all the question right. Thanks.”

Where In The World Is Latvia And Lithuania?

The Force were given a number of names of rugby-playing nations of the world. These were some of the nations that are recognised by the world governing body of Rugby Union, the International Rugby Board (IRB), as member unions but did not qualify for RWC 2011.

We divided them up amongst our team. I was given the nations listed below:
Latvia;
Lithuania.

This is what I found -


Latvia is in Europe and the capital City is Riga. The population in Latvia is 2,204,708
Ice hockey and soccer atre popular sports in Latvia.



Lithuania is a part Europe too. The capital city in Lithuania is Vilnius and the population of Lithuania is 3,535,547.
In Lithuania basketball and kick-boxing are popular sports.



I have decided to study Latvia for our Immersion task.

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup. I found out information about : The location in Auckland; Something special about this place; A 'potted' history of the place; If it has it's own symbol of some sort.(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.

For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is Force. There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

My favorite rugby team is the All Blacks because they have a talanted team and they play fea and they got a great coach. I think the All Blacks are going to win the world cup this year. My favorite player in the All Blacks is Sonny Bill Williams.

In our class we have been working on furniture design for the street.The main thing about designing furniture for the street, is so that we can have a better place to do our work on our netbooks. So when visitors come in they can enjoy our place too.

We searched the Internet to get some ideas for our furniture. We all received a paper and a pencil to sketch designs of our furniture. We all went home and we collected some ways that could be recycled, like toilet rolls, boxes and wood. After we finished making our prototypes we papermashay them with newspaper together with p.v.a glue.

We waited til our prototypes got dry and then we painted them and wait till the paint gets dry.

Rhyming Poem - Limerick

Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall
suddenly he was really small,
He broke into lotsa pieces
These were taken by lots of meese’s,
Poor Humpty who fell off the wall.
