Eastern Zone Basketball

Drips of sweat, overwhelmed my face as we headed to the ASB Stadium getting ready to play Basketball. Finally we arrived at the stadium, we headed inside. My eyes adjusted to the light and saw that there were a lot of teams scattered around. We set our bags down and had our first game in about 5 minutes.

Walking slowly down the stairs the pressure started to build as we headed out on to the courts. “Okay the starting team jump on” Mr Barks instructed. We were up against St Thomas and then when we were ready the ref blew the whistle. “I got him!” Raenan shouted. St Thomas had the possession and their PG (Point Guard) moved the ball up the court he drove to the basket and drew the foul.

Fortunately we won the first game, I squirted water in my mouth and instantly felt refreshed. My legs were running up and down the court trying to stop the ball from going in our hoop. It was halftime and we were winning by a large amount of points. By the end of the game we had beaten them. So we had won both of our games and only had one team left to beat.

Parnell hopped onto the court they looked like they were ready. Starford won the tip off and we started with the ball first. Raenan our PG brought the ball up, he drove to the basket and scored the first two points. Half time we were losing and unfortunately we did end up with a loss.

We didn’t make it to the playoffs but if we had won our last game we would have gone to the playoffs. So we placed 3rd out of our pool. I had a really good experience playing Basketball, I want to keep playing as well.

Were Going To Die!!

Kayaking is super hard (For me) it makes your arms tired and gives you a sore back. “Sit up straight” Erin instructed in my head I thought my back is aching with pain thought. Since we had to Kayak to the many Wharfs we had to paddle through it.

We paddled against the hard blowing wind it was hard trying to push against the current. “Swish” the water began to pick up it was making me float towards some where out to sea I started paddling faster and faster my arm was getting sore. As the winds were blowing wildly it took my Kayak off course.

Erin had instructed and told us of this game called The Kayaking Game. The object of this game was to transfer someone into your Kayak and you go to their one. The people were chosen to play first were Kingston and Patrick. Patrick and Kingston just got out of their Kayaks and set out for each others Kayaks. Patrick had entered Kingston's Kayak but then get fell into the water and he had to climb back in again

My Pt England Flag

My Pt England Flag

Hi my name is Darius.

My flag represents me having to show honest and always being truthful

I chose this design because of all the things Pt England showed me and gave me.

The first thing I did to make my art was to first sketch it and the use the vivid to over line what I sketched. Then after that I painted my out lined work after my painting was done I had to use pastel to help tidy it up but then I accidentally messed my work up and then I fixed it up. After that I used vivid again to tidy it up. Finished after all that hard work it’s finished.

Last cricket training

“He’s out”!!!! How to play Cricket you say?? Well first thing is you need to find some space like a field then find some friends and a cricket coach. Then the cricket coach teaches how to play cricket. Then get your own gear.

Bowling the cricket ball is pretty easy if you have a strong arm and know the positioning of your hand. Then you have the wicket keeper you usually stand near the wickets and when the ball is hit then the out fielders pass it to the wicket keeper to get the batter out ,the batter is the one with the bat and our coach's taught us how to hold the bat and the out fielders just field for the ball.

The coach’s who taught me all this stuff about cricket were Hammot,Chris,Jamie and Robert he taught me how to do a front foot drive,attacking shot,what position to put your hand on the ball and what motion to bowl. I didn’t like cricket before but now I like it because I think I would be good as a bowler.
