Netball.

We have been learning how to play the challenging sport called netball. We learned some valuable skills that may help us with netball and some other cool sports. We learned how to be swift and tricky, but also smart intercepting passes and winning defence.

To be honest my fitness is alright but not really up there. Are you good at fitness? I am trying to get into the habit of playing netball but I am used to rugby and other hardcore sports. I think if I try hard and go hard I will get fit and healthy.

One of the skills I really like is the chest pass. Its pretty straight forward really. You just put the ball on your chest then pass. It is really effective in a netball game. Some professional netball players use this skill.

OH bye the way, my class, Room 21 have been going to session on every Thursdays. Did I mention our mentor Liz. She is very skilled and awesome and talented. She has been showing us the skills that we have to this very day. So far I am enjoying Netball. I am looking forward to the future and learning new skills. NETBALL ROCKS!!!

All About Me



Hi, my name is James. I am a year 7 student at Point England School. I live in a hometown called Glen Innes. Short for it is G.I . I love to play sports such as Rugby, Rugby League, Basket Ball and Baseball plus Soft ball. I like to watch NRL and my favorite team is the Brisbane Broncos. My favorite Rugby league player in the Broncos is Peter Wallace because he is spectacular on the field. I have one brother and one sister. I like to eat at Burger King. Because it tastes better with the King.

Te Treaty Of Waitangi.


Back in 1840 on February the 6th, Maori and Pakeha agreed and signed a contract saying they will participate to protect their land. The reason was because there was a lot of disagreement and dislike between them.
When William Hobson Arrived to New Zealand he made a draft of the treaty.
.At the the first day William Hobson,James Busby,And Henry Williams were discussing out what they and the Maori would agree on. Unfortunately the Maori People did not know what the British Interests were. Henry Williams had to translate so that the Maori Tribes could understand and be happy with the British settlers. So the Maori agreed and signed the treaty. Then William Hobson the British Governor signed then the Maori and British came together as one. William Hobson made a speech He iwi tahi tatou we are all one people.
