Favourite book when I was young!!!

My favourite book when I was young was The Adventures of Tintin "The Calculus Affair" By Herge.

The reason why I like this book is that there is lots of action and they are trying to escape from a Tank. It isn't really a story it is more of a comic but still qualifies for a book. This comic is based in Germany and  is about Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy chasing after two gang members who have Kidnapped Professor Calculus.

When I read the comic I was 6 years old and this was the second Tintin comics I read so this one interested me to read the rest of the comics.                                    

AFL (Aussie Rules) (Australian Football League) We should be talking a bout Rugby!!!

Last week room 12 and Room 11 went down to the courts in the morning  on Thursday to learn some skills about AFL. On of the men who was an instructor use to go to St. bens when he was a kid and his last year was in 2001. We will be going down to the courts on Thursday for another 5 weeks.

Some catch phrases they taught us to help with skills was 'laces away from faces' and 'point your toes where you want the ball to go' and 'arms like an arrow' when holding the ball. last week we learned how to pass by kicking it. The certain type of kick is called a drop punt which is where the cross on the ball face up and down and you kick it with your toes pointing to where you want to kick. The ball travels through the air with it spinning backwards and upright. Another thing when passing is to try and not make it bounce otherwise it could just bounce anywhere. But if you kick a clean kick right into the chest there is less chance of dropping it. Some new things I learnt about AFL was that The field is 180metres long and 270metres wide. I didn't learn much because I knew some stuff already.

That's was my blog post for this week about skills about AFL come back next week for another blog post.

My favourite Sport

My favourite Sport, but first things first we had to write a blog post on our favourite something and I have chosen Cricket, my favourite sport.

Cricket is a sport that requires two teams to play a match and one team will bat and the other field and bowl. When batting you have too try and score the most runs in the certain amount of overs depending if it is a Twenty20, Test Match or ODI. Also you need to run between the wickets quickly and score boundaries either hitting a six or four. When bowling you need to try and get the batsman out by either bowling them when the ball hits the stumps or make them get a edge on the bat, and hope the wicket-keeper will catch the ball, to get the batsman out. Also try and lure the batsman to put the ball in the air so then the fieldsman can catch it. When fielding you have to be awake and aware where the ball is going. To be a good fieldsman or even a normal one you need to know how to catch, throw long distances and be accurate, fast around the field and good judgement. There also has to be two umpires one at the bowlers end wickets and one at square-leg. Square-leg is a position in line on the left (if you have a right-handed batsman) otherwise the other way around if there is a left-handed batsman.

I like this sport because I have been playing it since I six years old and it is a very fun sport 'cause you can have a great time with friends. Also because you have team mates that help you and you help them and we all stick together. Also we have a great day at the end of the game and practice.

My Future Job!!! Cricket Player or Dentist!!!!

Hello, and welcome to my Blog and I am going to tell you guys my future job *hopefully*.

If you read my title it would help you understand what I want to be when I Grow up, and also the picture tells you a bit. I want to be a cricket player which I've been wanting to  be since I was Six years old. The subjects I would take at College to become a Cricketer would probably be Sport / P.E. I would also have to trial to get into the First XI then I could get a chance of getting into the Fire Birds, then hopefully the Black Caps. I would also take Health because you learn about body parts and muscles and etc. I would take that subject because of stretches / warming up, if something happened to me and if I pull a muscle.





I also want to become a Dentist. The thing is I would have to study to become a Dentist for a while but I don't care I want to be one. Whenever I think of a Dentist it is a peaceful Dentist or a psychopath Dentist, hopefully the Peaceful one. The subjects I would have to take would be health and maybe science. Another subject could be biology which helps which body parts as well. The reason why I want to be a Dentist is because you earn lots of money and I can help people have better teeth if they need it. I also like working with people and making them feel better.




So there it is my two future jobs * even though I had to have one* I would do. Come back next week for another blog post. What's your favourite food?

A Day at the Movies

The second Sunday of the holidays Jarden, Oli and I went to Reading cinemas to watch the move The Martian. The Martian is about six people who went to Mars to gather information and rocks from mars. But while there out collecting samples a storm, they knew it was coming, came but it was worst and they had to leave mars but they left Mark Watney (The Martian).

On the day it all started when Jarden, Oli and I met at Simila Crescent train station and we caught the train into town. When we arrived it was around 12 o'clock and we walked through town and then got lunch. We arrived at the cinemas around 12:15 pm and got our tickets. After that we had lunch in the food court at Reading Cinemas but by the time we finished lunch the movie didn't start for another hour. So we chat and just walked around and also looked at the mini aquarium. When got some snacks to have while watching the movie we had to what for the theatre to open. When we were sitting down to wait for the movie to start Jarden spilt half of his popcorn on the ground.

After the movie we were talking about it so much because it was the BEST MOVIE EVER!!! When we got to the food court we all got a frozen coke each which was so good.

YOU SHOULD DEFENITLY GO AND SEE IT!!!

My favourite Poems!

Hallo!!

This weeks blog post about our favourite poem we have made up this term. I have chosen my two emotion Poems.





Shame

Shame is awkward and Embarrassing
it feels enclosing
like being trapped in a box
people laughing and joking about you
like being in the dark
people talking behind your back









Joy 

Joy is happy and exciting
when you score a 50 in cricket
when you help someone sick, poor, or injured
A family member recovering a sickness
feeling fresh and free
A time with your parents













That's my blog post for this week goodbye!

An Arty Artist

What we have to do on our blog this week is to choose an Artist and find some information about Him or Her and choose two paintings to talk about. The Artist I'm doing is Vincent Van Gogh.

Vincent Van Gogh was born on the 30th of March 1853 Zundert Netherlands. He had a Mother named Anna Carbentus van Goph and a Father named Theodorus Van Goph. His full name was Vincent Willem Van Goph. As a boy he went to weekly masses with his parents and was a catholic. He also had three sisters Willemina, Elisabeth and Anna.

This Painting is The Starry night Painting by Vincent Van Goph and it was done in 1888. He painted this when He was in His bedroom and looked out His window. He painted about 20 deferent variations of the Starry Night. What I like about this is that he hasn't painted it like it is a photo he has done it with his imagination and made stars into suns and also made that wave affect in the sky. Also the colour because he has used quite light colours which makes it stand out.

This painting is the Café Terrace at Night. Vincent did this painting also in 1888. He painted this when He was walking down the village with his painting gear and came across this. He thought it was a magical and delicate picture so he Painted it and thought it was really good. He then Put it in a Exhibition in 1891 and people thought it was really good. What I kike about it is that He has painted it so well it feels like your there and it feels very warming. The colours He has chosen makes it stand out and makes it lively.

That's My blog post for this week comeback next week for another.
