Term 3 Maritime mariners!!!!

I sat down on the floor in the hall. It was the first day of school for Term 2 and it seems to me like it would be a good and interesting topic this term. I looked around and saw another teacher called Mr Barkes, he was a Viking. The topic for this term was Mighty Mariners.

All of the teachers teams had to perform a play, skit or animation to give us students a little hint about this Terms Topic. All of the teachers did well, but out of all of them the best team that I liked was team 1. They did an animation and i thought that it was pretty cool. Their animation was about Kupe and how he brought the seven canoes to New Zealand Aotearoa. It was a good animation with a lot of detail and it was concise.

The Topic " MIghty Mariners" is a good topic we all can learn. I like watching sharkmen and lot's of channels on Animal planet so I am looking forward to this term. As I walked out of the assembly I wondered awaited for me later on in the term. At the same time I thought what "A MIGHTY ASSEMBLY".

Rabbitohs vs Warriors!!!!

On Sunday the 25th of July, My all time favourite team the Vodafone Warriors will battle the South Sydney Rabbitohs for a top four place on the ladder. While the Rabbitohs look to get back in to the top eight. ( They sit ninth on 20 points with the Eels ). If the Warriors win, not only it will be their 6th win in a row, they will go to second equal with the Wests Tigers and the Penrith Panthers on 26 points. With only 10 points separating the tenth place Parramatta and up to first place, it is a race to get into the top eight.

Both, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the New Zealand Warriors are desperate to win or tough consequences where the Rabboitohs might not make the top eight, where the Warriors could slip out of the top eight. As you all know my opinion, 'GO THE WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

How the early Maori came to New Zealand.

Dating back to 1000 years ago, the Eastern Polynesians people were the first ever to cross the southern pacific ocean and discove Aoteroa (New Zealand). These people were called the early maori. Their vessels were 15-20 meters longand normally it would have one hull, but sometimes have two or an out-rigger. Finally, Aoteroa (New Zealand) was found.

The Eastern polynesian people couldn't navigate on their own, so had a great sense of humor and had the stars to navigate them. They also followed birds in the day. Not many east polynesian people made it to New Zealand even though there were STORMY seas.

Sam Burgess and James Maloney....

Sam Burgess is an AWESOME player for the Rabbits, as in Rabbitohs. He is one of only six people who are the odd ones from the super league who was born in England. His position is second-row, and HECK he is a mean tackler. Preferring to tackling I mean Sonny Bill-William shoulder bargers who now plays rugby in his home country, New Zealand. Back to Sam Burgess. If there was ANY team, currently in the NRL who have MEAN players if you take the Melbourne storm out of the equation, it would be the Rabbitohs. They have the talent of Issac Luke, Sam Burgess, John Sutton, Chris Sandow, Beau Champion and MUCH, MUCH MORE.....

On Sunday the 25th of July 2010, my all time favourite team the vodafone Warriors

Now, James Maloney. He is a MASTER goal kicker in the Vodafone Warrios ( My Favourite team) Just because he has missed 12 goals this year, he is kicking at 81 percent. James Maloney's position is halfback of Five Eighth. I rather prefer him at number six, five eighth. He has been a MEAN member in the halves with Lance Hohaia, Isaac John and Brett Seymour. In all this year, James Maloney has only missed one game due to injury, against the Wests Tigers. Currently due to James Maloney's inspirational 3 try and 8 goal win over the Brisbane Bronco's back in round 3. Even though it was ages ago, the Warriors are now on 24 points and in 5th place, and with out the win against the bronco's we would be on 22 points and, due to points differential, the warriors would be in 8th or ninth place. Thanks James Maloney!!!!!

Brent Tate leaving the Warriors....

Brent Tate has always been a legend since 2002 when he made his debut for the Brisbane Broncos. The year after in 2003 he made his State Of Origin debut for Queensland and scored two tries. LEGENDARY!!!!!

In the year 2008 he made his Vodafone Warriors debut and scored 11 tries that year. He recently, against the Canberra Raiders scored his 50th career try. Last year in 2009 he only played three games due to a season ending injury from his former club the Broncos. But this year in 2010 he has played 12 games but this time the season injury once again occurred when he collided with Dragons Second-Row Ben Creagh, breaking his jaw.

Sadly, he will not wear another Warriors jumper in his life because he is leaving to the actual competition wooden spooners the North Queensland Cowboys in 2011. To be honest, I actually think that the North Queensland Cowboys are going to win. They have the talent like, Matthew Bowen, Jonathan Thurston, Brent Tate, Antonio Winterstein and much more!!!

Brent Tate, If you are reading this please stay or come back to the Warriors......

Visit to Rotorua!!!!!

Intro- After a treacherous , three hour ride to Rotorua was finally over, it was time to see my family. "YEAH!!!". Finally the wait to see my family was once again over. "Man, I haven't been in in Rotorua for months and it feels good the be at Home Sweet Home!"

Para 1- Always a pleasant treat for me is visiting my home town, Rotorua. Although I was born in Newcastle, Australia I spent my child-hood days in Rotorua and Auckland. Every holidays I've spent them in, you guessed it, Rotorua. There are many places I like to go like, the aquatic centre, Leisure World and so much more.....

Para 3- 'WOW' "What a huge mountain! Around where my Nan lives is a place where an old abandoned village once was. Well, its not much of a village, it just has torn down houses and hills made out of dirt. I call this a paddock. I go there when I have nothing to do because my koro ( grandfather ) just sits in the garage, sips his beer and reads a book. So I leave and go have fun at the paddock. I and my cousins do all sorts of things at the paddock like, make avalanches hit down the abandoned houses or go to the Waikete rugby club and do some tackles on each other.

Para 4- I like to see my Dad at his working place. He works, or should I say build a MAMMOTH of a building at the Rotorua Polly Tech down south. Its not usual that I see him so It is a huge treat for me to see him. (REALLY).

Conclusion- I hope for the best to just appear next time I go to my town I grew up in, Rotorua! What will Happen?????? Rotorua is honestly GREAT!!! The best of the best cities in the world!!

THE MOVIE BOY!!!!

'WOW' Was the only word going through my mind as this extravaganza movie ended. Right at the end was when I had a HUGE laugh when Rocky (Boy's brother stared at his dad ( Alimein) and asked him, How was Japan? Haha, You can have a laugh to.

It is a sad, sad but funny movie. A huge downer for Boy's or his real name Alimein is that his Mum had passed away, and his Nan was gone for like, literally a month meaning no one was at Boy's house to look after him. His Dad was sadly in jail. One Shocking evening, Alimein's Father ( Alimein ) pulled up in the drive way, and to Boy's amazement, his family was finally rich.

The only way to describe Boy is UN DESCRIBABLE!! Because there is lots of SAD parts and some bright sides to it.

If you haven't seen it than don't sit around. GO TO THE MOVIES AND WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!
