Hockey

This week my West Coast hockey team are travelling to Blenheim for a hockey tournament against Moubrough and Nelson under 13 a-teams. We leave on Saturday and play on 1 on Saturday and the other on Sunday as well. We will play 1 game against each team. This is my third and final year of -13 and I am looking forward to it. 

This is a tournament to prepare for the big tournament in Omaru. The big tournament is against Cantubury and Otago teams as well.  

I hope our team does well because alot of our players ar eon their last year. 

Netball

This week I played Netball for Grey Main. We beat St Pats in the final 18-16. I played the whole game at GD and WA. I like Wing Attack the most because that it what I played the whole tournament in basically. 

These are the teams we played Awahono, Cobden, St Pats, Karoro (semi final), St Pats (final). We won all the games and the closest was the final. 

I enjoyed playing in the Netball but it was kind of weird. 

Maths balanced equations

This week we quickly looked at balanced equations. I already new how to do them and this is a drawing to show my understanding.

Netball

This term me and my friends decided to try out for the Grey Main netball team to play in a tournament that we one last year. We had two trials and a squad was selected to train once a week for two weeks. Yesterday a team was selected and I made it, only four from the squad of fourteen were droped.  I had never played Netball before and it was pretty confusing at the start but I have the hang of it now. 

I am looking forward to the tournament. 

Wearable arts

Recently we have started wearable arts. Wearable arts is a project where you have a theme and have to create a piece of wearable arts. Our theme is the future with a West Coast flavour. 

At the moment we are making small versions of our Idea and finding ways to make it interesting. 

My group might do something about whitebait and something. 

I am looking forward to seeing the final piece of art. 

Westa - Maths

This week 2 maths teams from my school (Grey Main) played against other West Coast teams. Last year it was hosted in Hokitika and we finished  1st equal. This year It was hosted at Grey Main and we came 3rd. We go to Canta Maths which is in Christchurch because we beat the other Grey Main team. I went to Canta maths and it was fun but hard. 

I am looking forward to going in a couple of weeks. 

The finals

This weekend I played and captained the Blaketown under 14 rugby team from fist five to beat Marist in the final. We played in very cold, windy and wet conditions.

It is my first year in the grade which means I am a younger player in the team.

We got of to a good start by applying lot of pressure ant trapping them in their own corner with the wind against them.  We go rewarded by the continuous pressure scoring two converted trys in a row. Then Marist bounced back and scored one of their own. I scored a try halfway through the first half. At halftime we were leading by 19 points. Marist in the second half with the wind behind made a slight comeback. The final score was 50 - 36 to us. 

After the game I made a speech to describe the game thank Marist and say how leading up to the game we tied both games. I also thanked the supporters, managers and our coach.

After the speechers we went and had a 25 minute hot shower to warm up.

I am so happy we won.
