Our Netball Session with Gina


WALT : write a recount it must have at least 6 different sentence starters and at least  two examples of direct speech and a similes.



On Friday the 7th of June we were playing netball. We all participated in netball except for one student with an ankle injury. We were all divided into three teams. The number of players in each team were 9, 9 and 10 the team names were the Underdogs, Queensland,and New South Wales.

In the first game it was the underdogs vs NSW, the QLD won against the underdogs in the next match it was QLD vs NSW the bib colour was purple and blue the NSW was in the purple and QLD NSW was like lightning bolts “Go NSW!” shouted the NSW subs There was a load of different positions we were playing at. It was my first time playing netball. It wasn't that bad but I still prefer  Basketball because you can dribble and the hoop has a back board and you aren't limited to one spot. You can travel around the  whole court  without any restrictions or penalties when you move around the court and you can dunk the ball .  The coach  was Miss Gina.

When I was playing I thought that it was a  really  complicated sport that’s why I don't like netball.

Thursday 13 June 2013


In the suburb of Glen Innes Auckland New Zealand
the Government is bombarding residents with eviction notices and some people have been vandalizing  houses in Glen Innes . I think this is all due to the government not getting enough money off tax  and selling local assets like State Houses. So they thought they can get more money off having more than one person living in a house.

Now They are building houses so they are making four apartment buildings on one section. But if you do get kicked out then you have a choice to move out south or west. There were police, police choppers and the news van the protesters were like wild dogs barking at the pound.
and when I was in bed i could here the megaphone like a blue whale wailing.
