Netball De'Vyne

Netball. The only sport I hate. Netball is a game that show ball skills, and technique. Last Thursday room 21 went to netball to learn more about it (for people that do not know). Half of the class had no bibs and the other half had bibs on, so you would know which side they were on. Liz the instructor showed us how to work out our bodies in a hot sunny day. It was boring. We all had to hop on the circles and x. My partner was Matthew. We both had to learn how to intercept a ball. We both got good at it and think like we were pros.

Jumping up for the ball was exciting and fun, but sometimes its so hard because I’m short. Shawn and I were passing the ball so no one could intercept. Shawn and I were laughing because he had to go back in line. After that Matthew and I went to enjoy the breeze under the shade. The sun was as hot as lava coming down to destroy our school.

After we had to intercept the ball we played a game that wasn’t fun at all. It was so dumb that I never want to do it again. Some of my friends were on the other side. That made it boring. After we had our game the boys said that we won just to be funny, but actually it was the girls.

We all packed up and put our bibs away for the next class to enjoy their game. I went to get some water so I don’t get dehydrated. So thanks Liz for showing us how to have some fun. But next time its going to be worse and boring.

Three P's With Treaty Of Waitangi

In 1840, on the 6th of February the English came over to NZ to make a treaty with the Maoris. William Hobson and his crew came in their boats and ships. The Pakeha people wanted to make this treaty so they can bring peace between the Maoris and the English settlers.

Hone Heke was the first one to sign the treaty of all 40 chiefs. The English people wanted to make this agreement so they can take over NZ. But The English people promised if the Maori sign the treaty the English would keep the Maori safe.

The Three P’s are very important, Protection, Partnership, and Participation. First off we are going to talk about Partnership because that’s my favourite. Partnership is about helping one another and joining a team.

Now Next we are going to talk about Protection. Protection is like when you see American football game, you would see how the person is blocking another so he’s protect the person so he don’t get hit. That’s what Protection is to me.

Last of all Participation. Participation is Something that you could join in something. Like joining in a rugby game.

Something About Myself

Hello my name is De’Vyne & I am going to tell you about myself. First off I am going to tell you how old I am. I am 11 years old & going to turn 12 this year in March the 11TH. My favourite sports is Rugby League, B ball, and others. My favourite take away is Carl's Jnr much like most of my friend like to eat. I like to play with all my friend on the Field. I like to come to school to learn many things instead of waited at home a being dumb.

De'Vyne School Holidays

In the school holidays I went to my aunts and uncle's house. First off I got up and had a fresh breakfast. I had coco pops yummy.... but my cousin had Yum Yum noodles. More like yuk yuk. It was so boring waiting for other people in my family to come. So I played Call of Duty Black Ops (Xbox 360 game) because it was boring. Finally they came. We all got in the car and started thinking of the best fun park in New Zealand ... Rainbow's End.

We all got there safe and my aunt and uncle paid for the bands so we could get in. The most exciting ride I would say is the roller coaster... mean. My cousin and I first went on the pirate ship giving me butterflies, up, down, up, down. I show ed my cousin where to go because itwas his first time. My cousins favourite ride was the invader because he liked how it spun around and around. It felt like this song: “You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round”.

That's what it felt like around and around. The next ride my cousin and I went on was the Gold Rush. That's like the 7Th best ride that I like , because I liked how the man goes “watch out!” with that cart. But I hated how we were outside because the water kept going on me (hate it).

The best day of my cool holiday happened and I knew it. Going to my uncle’s house was cool and next time its going to be better .
