What I learnt about RUGBY!

On Sunday the 1st of November 2015, The All blacks are going to take on the Wallabies in the Rugby World Cup Final. So today on Friday our whole school are going to be wearing black to support the All Blacks. 

We read a book about the history of Rugby. Here a some facts I learnt:

1. Rugby was created accidently by a Football player when he picked up the ball and ran.

2. In 1884 the first NZ Rugby team was made, and in the same year they toured Wales and Australia.

3. In 1891, a NZ women's Rugby team was supposed to go on tour, but it was cancelled because of the following protest: WOMEN DON'T PLAY RUGBY!

4. In 1970 Colin Meads broke his arm whilst playing against south Africa. It dangled painfully but he carried on. In 1999 he was named NZ's player of the century. 

5. In 2010 the Women's Rugby Team won the World Cup for the Fourth time in a row.

We have supported the All Blacks all the way... AND WE NEED TO KEEP IT UP!

We can't celebrate yet, because we haven't won, but if we do we will make Rugby history for being the first team to win 2 World Cups in a row. Dan Carter and Richie McCaw are retiring at the end of the world cup, so it will be an amazing way to end their courier, especially because Dan Carter has never won a world cup through injuries.

Zentangle Art!

My Zentangle Art! 

Over a long period of time, All students in our class chose, sketched and then finally drew an animal of their choice. I chose a Panda. First, We were all given a free choice of the animals that we wanted to draw. After we had chosen our animal, We started to sketch our animals in our art book. We were taught an easy way to do it. We split our page into 9 parts, and drew it square by square. I personally preferred it normally.  When we had chosen our final design we started to transfer it over to our final paper. Once the animal was done we added our Zentangles. We went over all of it with vivid and this is my final result.

New Move!!!!!!!!

Its been a great experience moving into room 1 & 2,  we get to see our new class and it's awesome!!! Its been so fun moving classes. We got move the furniture into the new class room, and when we weren't we got to do our inquiry. It took a while, and everyday we were waiting for the teachers to say it was time. On Monday they told us it might be today, and naturally, we were excited. but it was not to be. But is was to be the next day! They told us the big news: WE ARE MOVING TODAY.... YAAAAY! We all went crazy with excitement. We finally got to move into our new and improved class room. We got split into classes and did our inquiry. After a full day of inquiry, We had a look in the room. It was cool, but felt empty without the furniture and cabinets. We went home excited for the next day. In to school I went. I opened the door and KABOOM! The new class was ready! Furniture and all! Everything! It looked great. The breakout spaces were also better than expected, I couldn't wait to start the day.
